Duke Now Must Hunt q Coach
AS Wade Gets Conference Post
BY the Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec. g.
The Southern Conference has
solved it's comnfissionership prob
lem and, at the same time, created
a poser for Duke by naming Wal
lace Wade, Blue Devil football
coach, its first commissioner.
Duke now must shop around for
a successor to the 58-year-old
Wade, who will take over his new
duties January /.
With almost startling sudden
ness the conference voted Wade
into Office last night for four years
at an annual salary of $4,000 and
an additional yearly operating ex-
pense of $4,000. The move came
after a long day in which the
commissionership plan appeared
doomed in the face of the general
uncertainty created by the Korean
war.
Earlier, the conference had
agreed by only ae0-8 margin even
to vote on the idea later in the
day. 1t appeared that the long
standing issue would be side
tracked for at least another year.

Caps Smooth Waiver
Trouble, Hope 10 Rout
knicks Jinx Tonight

The Caps, who can't make up
their minds who to fire. are hoping
the entire club catches fire 70
night when they battle the New
York Knickerbockers at Uline
Arena at $50.
The Caps have one victory In
their last 10 meetings with the
Knlcks, but are hopeful of i'm
provement tonight with the return
to action of Bill Sharman, rookie
guard who was inactive with a
sprained ankle in the last New
York game, and Dick Schnittker,
rookie forward who suffered
fractured cheekbone.
Also around, only because other
clubs wouldn't have him, is still
another rookie, Alan Sawyer. He
was placed on the waiver list and
wasn't claimed, so the Caps re-
stored him to their active list in
a wierd move and placed Dick
O'Keefe on waivers.
Another player must be re-
leased by tomorrow in order tc
trim the Caps to the National
Basketball Association 10-playeI
limit.
The Knicks won five of six
scheduled games from the Caps
last season, beat them twice more
in the first round Of the cham
pionship playoffs and defeated
them twice this season. In their
last battle, the Caps took a 1o9-78
lesson, worst whipping in their
history.
New York is at 500 level in
fourth place with SO record.
The Knicks have such outstard-

to vote for him unless they felt

He also offered, in the event of a
national emergency, to talk over
a readjustment of the annual

of the commissioner and the con-

This latter point apparently
satisfied schools which earlier had
questioned what the conference
would do about meeting the an

international situation sharply
cut into the financial returns of
the circuit.

Moor and Hill Prince
Duel on Coast Today
In 100000 Gold Cup
BY the Associated Press

41NAAE w Oo4(, SdIl1., 1CC. u
Lady Luck kept secret her whims
today as the Hollywood Turf Club
prepared to stage the richest
horse race of the year-the $780,
900 Gold Cup Handicap.
Eight challengers were due to
take off late this afternoon on
the mile and one-quarter run and
the smart boys had it all figured
out-almost, that is-long before
post time, probably about 7:15
pm, EST.
(The race will be broadcast by
Washington Station WTOP at 7
o'clock.)
They looked for an about duel
for the 100000 net prize between
Mrs. Charles S. Howard's Moor,
the Irish-bred handicap horse of
the year, and Christopher T.
Chenery's handsome bay from
Virginia, Hill Prince. the 3-year-
old champion.
There were others who felt that
an upset was in the making.
There was the Calumet Farms
Ponder, like Moor, famous for
come-from- behind rallies. There
was the f1lly queen of the year,
Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Kentucky
bred Next Move. the lone f1lly in
the field.
Assault Regarded as Threat.
There was the King Ranch's
Assault, the Triple Crown con-
queror of four years back who,
at the age of 7. was making the
big move of his comeback cam
paign.
PaleStinian, the 4-year- old
chestnut racing for Isidore Bieher,
looked good enough to make things
interesting and rounding out the
cast in this 18th running of the
classic were the two longest shots
in the field, E. o. Stice g. Sons
Callfornia-bred On Trust and
John Du Bois Wack's Yolo Stable
colt. Great Circle.
There was much of a grudge
battle between Hill Prince and
Moor. The Virginia colt recently
was acclaimed not only the g.
year-old of 1850, but the horse of
the year. Moor. four time victor
over Citation earlier this year, was
called the best handicap horse.
but the distinction favored the
Prince.
He earned it, his hackers
claimed, by the decisive victory he
scored over Moor at Belmont early
in October. The Moor faction. still
faithful to the man who bought
the Irisher to this country, the
late Charley Howard of California,
argued that one win doesn't con-
stitute a season.
Rematch Brings Debates.
The rematch, with heady Eddie
Arcaro on the Prince and veteran
Johnny Longden on. Moor, domi-
mated all discussions leading up
to the race. Both have drilled
splendidly and both were i'm
pressive under colors out here,
Moor in breaking a track record at
11s miles, the Prince in a roaring
third by nose and neck to
Your Host, absent today, and Pom
der at l 1/16 miles.
Ponder's closing rush in that
race convinced many that he can
take Hill Prince at the added dis
tance and with a f1ve-pound
weight spread 025-130) between
him and the Prince and Moor.
Next Move was well liked. She
swept to two triumphs here to add
to her Eastern laurels and could
duplicate the feat of another Gold
Cup winning fllly, Herbert M
Woolf's Happy Issue, in 1914.
Good weather was forecast, and
the track expected $4,000 or more
fans to view the race.
