Boiling and San Diego
Taper Off in Drills
For Poinseitia Bowl
Special Dispatch 10 The Stor

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Dec. 18.-
Both teams in the first annual
Poinsettia Bowl football game
Saturday are tapering off prac-
tice sessions, but there is no let
up in enthusiasm.
The participants. Boiling Air
Force Base and the San Diego
Naval Training Center. got in
some good licks yesterday as they
prepared for the battle which has
been billed as the armed forces
! football championship"
Boiling raced through two work.
outs in perfect 65-degree weather.
The morning session was devoted
to punt protection and place.
kicking accuracy. The afternoon
drill again stressed pass defense
and was topped off with a brief
touch football game.
Coach Roger Antaya said there
would be two more practices, one
this afternoon at the Naval Air
Station on Coronado Island, and
the other tomorrow morning in
Balboa Stadium.
Comdr. Ray Brown, coach of
the Naval Training Center Blue
jackets, sent his charges through
a light drill in sweat suits, fol-
lowing two straight days of scrim-
mage.
The heavy work caused minor
injuries to Fullback Jim Mona
chino. former California ALL
America; Linebacker Mickey Adza
of Santa Clara and Tackle Owen
Cox of Mississippi. All three,
however, are expected to be ready
for action Saturday.
NOTES-Center Roy MARITIME
of Boiling. a former University
OF Maryland star. was notified on
arrival in San Diego that he be-
came the father of a baby girl
Monday. His wife and child are
coming along fine in a New Jersey
hospital.
CHS has loaned Tom Harmon,
West Coast sportscaster. to NBC
to broadcast the game. The for
mer Michigan halfback will do
the radio play by play, while
Lindsay Nelson has been given the
television assignment.
Irish Bob Murphy trains daily
at the naval gymnasium for his
attempted ring comeback. He
predicted Archie Moore would
easily beat joey Maxim.
The two Rose Bowl teams, Wis
consin and Southern California,
have been invited to sit in on the
Poinsettia Bowl game, but it's
doubtful if Coaches Ivy William
son and Jess Hill will allow their
squads that much time away from
the practice field.

Carson was showed inside and
the door closed. Buckner came
out once more, got the tired
horses, and started toward the
corral. But Montana knew il was
no use making a move now. He
could kill the trader and the dog
and get a horse-and in doing so
put Black Jack Caswell on his
guard. No, it had to be some other
way.
He waited until the man re-
turned to the station; then he
rose to his feet and melted into
the night.
A moon came Up after Q time,
peeping up over the timber lined
ridges as though in apology at
being late. 1t revealed the road
leading through a sharp cut and.
beyond the cut, the fat expanse
of a basin. Montana remembered
what Forrest had said about
wanting to see his cattle grazing
in front of his ranch, in the basin.
He started through the cut, and
then a mans voice rang out. hard.
commanding.
"Stand and freeze, brotherl

peared once more.
Somebody COMM" the squaw-
man called back over his Shout
der. "Three horses"
Black Jack appeared beside
him, followed by Ro Rundert
THE horses had come out of the
i first expanse of land beyond
the creek. Montana saw them
enter the water single file, and
splash across toward the back
of the house. He crouched low,
and something about the second
riders outline struck a familiar
chord in his brain.
Carson" he muttered. with
his hands tied to the pommel. So
they got Ben all right2 But ]
wonder who?"
He wasn't long in finding out.
Buckner's voice challenged the
riders sharply and q mans voice
came back in reply. "It's Horton,
from Smeller-A-Mile. I got Car
SON."
The two stopped in front of the
square of light and Montana saw
Carson's face. Il was bloody. his
lips smashed. Ben's hat was Of
and his gray hair was matted. He
had been pistol whipped.
Horton said in a nasal voice
IT found him playing watchdog
on this place here just at dark."
"Well, now, ye don't say?"
Black Jack said. "T'm right glad
to see We, Ben. ! hadn't forgot
about that little visit ] paid ye
down at Smeller-A-Mile when We
got a mite rambunctious with
that shotgun. Stuck it plumb in
my belly, remember" And Black
Jack Caswell began to chuckle.
Carson did not deign TO reply
and the man Horton, under Buck
ner's orders, freed the traders
bound hands from the pommel
and let him get of the horse.
