Amendment
The bills were introduced by
Sen. Billy Meadows and Rep.
Reece Biekersiaff of Gulfport.
Gauiier said he will seek to
amend the bill TO include all
state ports. The only ports are
Pascagoula and Gulfport.
Meadows said he would be
agreeable to the amendment.
The present bill limits state aid
to ports where the US Engineers
maintain 30-foot channels.
Gautier pointed out that the
state gave Pascagoula $250,000 in
1e48 to which $5O0,0 900 in county
funds were added to dredge the
present channel at Pascagoula to
80 feet.
Not Yet Certified
The work was completed and
Pascagoula has been developing
foreign shipping, but a yet the
Engineers have not certified the
channel as a 30-foot project.

AS some senators denounced

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 30.-With
only two days of racing left in
the year, Sicilian-born Joe Cul-
none holds a one-win lead over
19-year-old Willie Shoemaker in
their dramatic battle for jockey
honors of 1850.
Culmone yesterday piloted home
two winners at Tropical Park TO
boost his winners for the year to
382-only six short of the world
mark.
Shoemaker, riding at Fair
Grounds near New Orleans, won
the first two races and the eighth
race to bring his total winners
TO 381.
Both Jockeys have been attempt
ing to break the 44-year-old rec
ord of 388 winners set by Walter
Miller in 1906.
Because there is no Sunday
racing at either Tropical or Fair
Grounds. both jockeys will go out
side the country to finish up the
year.
Culmone will fly to Havana,
Cuba. to ride in all eight races
at Oriental Park. Shoemaker
leaves New Orleans tonight by air
for Caliente, Mexico. where he is
scheduled to ride IL mounts to-
morrow at Aqua Caliente.

Where Michigan's sharpshooting

Bears vulnerable is in pass de-

The Wolverines planned to take
their first official peep at the Rose
Bowl today. Coach Bennie Ooster-

also indicated he may work the

Squad in Good Shape.
The squad, he said, is in good
shape, the best, in fact, of an
injury-riddled season.
That goes principally for Ort-
mann, the big pass and punt man
in Michigan's attack, which in
1850 is almost a throWback to
the old pass, punt and pray days.
Michigan outscored opponents only
130 to 108, but managed to win the
important games.
Oosterbaan had good news for
Michigan fans, too. when he pro-
nounced Right Halfback Leo

shape since the Army game" last
October. Koceski, he said, will

DALLAS. Dec. 30.-Texas winds
up practice today for its Cotton
Bowl date with Tennessee, but the
Volunteers may have one more
session before facing the Long
horns in the New Years Day
classic.
Gen. Bob Neyland. Tennessee
coach, thinks the spread from
Saturday to Monday may be too
much inactivity for his football
squad and he may schedule a
Sunday workout.
But Texas, which had couple
OF days margin over Tennessee in
practice, is as ready as it ever will
be for the Cotton Bowl battle,
Coach Blair Cherry said.
The Longhorns few into town
yesterday to be met by a crowd
of Texas boosters and to hear D.
Harold Byrd. Texas ex-student
and member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Cotton Bowl, tell
them:
We'll, you won't have to worry
about the referee taking the game
away from you like that Okla
homa game"
Oklahoma was the only team
to defeat Texas during the season
and there were claims by sports
writer's and Texas fans that Texas
scored one touchdown that was
not allowed-that a Texas back
actually went across the goal line
but was showed back. The score
was 14-13.
Both teams had injuries but
Tennessee's will not cost the
service of a man. Jack Stroud,
Vol tackle. who suffered a broken
jaw in the Vanderbilt game De-

protect his face. But Lewis
Levine. Texas halfback, is def
nitely out with torn leg carti-
lage. Cherry said he probably

2 Substitutes Named
To Replace Sooners'
Injured Safety Man
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 30
Four feet are necessary to fill the
shoes of Buddy Jones, Oklahoma's
game little safety man.
Jones reinjured his knee earlier
this week as Oklahoma practiced
for Mondays Sugar Bowl football
game against Kentucky and
Coach Bud Wilkinson practically
opened an employment Office at
the Biloxi (Miss) training base
to find successor.
No one was available with
Jones qualities for running back
kicks and especially in defending
against passes. Wilkinson finally
worked out the problem by pick
ing two successors to Jones, who
was the big man in keeping Texas,
North Carolina and Louisiana
State from throwing touchdown
passes against Oklahoma in 1949
and 1850.
Vessels, Crowder Successors.
Successors. finally agreed upon
are Sophomores Billy Vessels and
Eddie Crowder.
Vessels is a star starter for the
Sooners. who operate under a
semi mi-two-platoon system. If he
works often at safety in addition
to his offensive duties, young
Billy practically will be Comm
ute man. Crowder's playing time
is short since kidney injury has
bothered him this season.
The Oklahoma line isn't backed
with abundant reserves which cuts
down on Wilkinson's substitution
possibilities. Principally for this
reason Wilkinson says. Il want
Monday to be a cool day. Cool
weather will help us with our lack
of reserves. Our boys won't get
as tired"
The two probable starting line
ups total exactly the same in ton
nage-2, ,124 pounds, or 1913 aver
age per man. Kentucky generally
is credited with being more of a
passing team than Oklahoma. The
Sooners, however, threw consider
ably more than their share of
passes this season.
Arnold Ranks High as Passer.
Claude Arnold, Oklahoma's 8
passer- quarterback, isn't as not
able as Kentucky's Babe Parilli,
but Arnold completed so per cent
of his throws and ranks high in
the Nation. Arnold gained 1,048
yards with 81 completed tosses,
while Parilli gained 1927 yards
on ia competitions. Parilll's COM
pletion average was Sc per cent.
The Oklahoma squad will leave
Biloxi tomorrow morning by bus
and drive to New Orleans. The
squad will work briefly on the
Loyola University field and spend
| the night at Algiers Naval Base
across the Mississippi River from
New Orleans.
Kentucky will drive to New
