DETROIT tR Norman Hayes,

eye and turned an apparent defeat
into a technical knockout victory,
day-dreamed today of the middle

Hayes, 1904 pounds, of Boston,
stopped Joey DeJohn. 165, Syra-
cuse, at 1:44 minutes of the third
round OF last nights nationally
televised fight, scheduled for ten
rounds.
DeJohn was confidently boring
in, trying to widen a bleeding cash
over Hayes right eye when Hayes
floored him with a right to the
side of the head. Hayes dropped
him twice more and Referee
Johnny Weber stopped the fight.
Afterwards, Hayes, who has been
unsuccessful recently against light
heavyweight, said, from now on

Consigned to the Southeastern

sides Of its spectacular two-pronged
offense well-honed today for its bid
to reach the 500 mark In the
league standings.
If the Maroons can top Louisiana
State Saturday-and they're a six

to hear from the red-faced coaches

Conch-Broward Battle Is A Tossup

And the Broward loss last week
was much closer than the score
indicated. Two bad passes from
center resulted in two touchdowns
against them but otherwise they
played their regular sharp game
of football which has made them
the scourge of the state for the
season.
South Broward has been tallying
a steady two or three tbs per
game while their bruising defense
has limited the opposition to an
average of but one score for the
current campaign.

strength with the exception of full

only chance the Conchs have to
pull out of the ballgame with a
win will be to get cut on the field
and fight in the knock-down drag
out fashion that they have exhi-
bited in their successful campaign
up to this point.
On the basis of comparative
scores, if they mean anything, the
South Broward club will have to
rate a 14-point favorite over the

Homer Smith
Is Named AP
Back OF Week
ev RIP WATSON

NEW YORK R-Homer Smith,
Princeton's old fashioned power
plunging fullback, was named
Associated Press Back of the
Week Wed. for his tremendous
ability to do the primary thing with
a football-namely, run with it.
Smith was the top back of last
Saturday by simply overpowering
Harvard in an awesome display of
slam-bang football-a contrast to
the slick T-formation quarterbacks
and speedy, clever halfbacks who
often gain the headlines without
being hit hard more than handful
of times in game.
Starting from the first time
Princeton got the ball, Smith
ripped through the Harvard line
for four touchdowns and 273 yards,
the greatest running performance
by major college back this year.
Princeton'S first play from scrim-
mage gave an indication of how
the game would progress. Smith,
lining up in the fullback slot Of
Princeton'S single wing offense,
took the snap from center, faxed
a reverse to the circling wingback
and was off for the goal 73 yards
away. He burst through left tackle,
cut back to the right and outran
or bowled over anybody who barred
his path.
That was how IL went all after
noon in Princeton'S 41-21 victory
Harvard linemen and backs try
ing in vain to stop No. 80 as he
plowed up and down the field. His
other touchdowns were on short
blasts of eight, ten and four yards,
but in between he went 46 yards
and 81 yards.
The five foot ten, 1SS-pound full
back wound up with an average of
los yardS-equal TO a first down
for every time he carried the ball.
When he wasn't carrying the ball.
his bruising blocks paved the way
for other Princeton runners to
accumulate 4s9 yards from scrmi-
mage on rushing. He learned the
rock 'em and sock 'em football
while prepping at Lawrenceville
and polished his football education
with a year as linebacker on
Princeton's defensive platoon last
year.
Smith, a gOod-lOoking. erew-cut
youngSter frcm Omaha. Neb.. has
been preSidt9it Of the class of 1854
for two years. He also won a letter
IN track last spring.
He had 10 be good last Saturday

These included Billy Vessels Of
Oklahoma who scored three touch
downs before the eyes Of the na-
tiOn's Tv fans. and Jack Parker
