on his demand for at least a two.

inch.

ing myself" said Dresser. The
club offered a one-year contract
and won't compromise, If they
would make it two years, I'd take
it. Money don't enter into it. In
fact I'd sign for less if they'd
make it longer than one year"
From O'Malley came these
words:
II have every reason to believe
that Charles decision is final and
irrevocable. II is inconceivable to
me that Charlie would humiliate
himself and ask for a one-year
contract at this point. Doing that
certainly would put him in an en-
barrassing poSition-and it would
do the same to me.
Frankly, / don't know just what

should arise. But that's a purely
conjectural situation. I can't be-
lieve they will"
Earlier yesterday, Dresser said
he planned to see O,Malley on an
other matter today and assumed
the managerial discussion would
come up again.

Sports Roundup
By GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK TIT may safely
be put down that Chuck Dresser
is not quitting one of the best jobs
in baseball unless be has reason
Ito believe that another one just as
good or better is open to him. A
lot of things have been said about
the little guy, but no one has YET
accused him of being dumb.
It is our strong guess, then, that
the man who is 5purning one
year Brooklyn contract calling for
$42, 500 means to wind up nanag'
ling the Baltimore Orioles for his
old compadre, Bucky Harris. 1t all
fits in too well.
Word has been kicking around
for several days that the new Bal
Itimore combine, having failed to
land Frank Lane of the Chicago
White Sox, has settled upon Harris
as its first general manager. II
would be difficult to make better
choice.
| Bueky's present job as pilot OF
the Washington Senators doubtless
would last as long as owner Clark
Griffith does, but Griff is an elder
Ily man and, besides, Harris has
for some years been anxious to
take himself off the field and dc
his heavy thinking from a chair in
some front office.
| He had such post with the
Yankees until Larry MacPhail
talked him into returning to the
bench, and he promptly drove the
BomberS to a flag. But then Mac.
J. Phail went out in a blaze of million
dollar checks and the new owners,
Del Webb and Dan Topping, gave
Bucky the boot in favor of a fellow
/ named Stengel.
Now the time looks right for

NEW YORK TIFF DR.. Vincent
Nardiello is right. all those storie:
about Randy Turpin's erratie
training must be wrong.
"The boy is in marvellous con
dition," said the New York State
man yesterday after a physica
checkup at his Grossinger, N. Y,
camp.
Turpin stepped on the scales fol
a private trial run to see if he
could make the 16e-pound limit
for Wednesdays middleweight title
bout with Bobo Olson at Madison
Square Garden.
Commission rules forbid any re.
lease of pre-fight weights but it Is
reported the scales nit 161 pounds
He will have no trouble making
the weight" said DR.. Nardiello.
Turpin, who has boxed only five
days since arriving from London
three weeks ago, whipped through
four rounds, two with Eddie Dixor
and two with Irving Steen. He
looked strong and rough.
He won't work today, unless he
changes his mind. Chances are he
will box Saturday and Monday
breaking camp Tuesday.
Olson was to get the once-ovel
from DR.. Nardiello and Bob Chris
tenberry, commission chairman, a
his Asbury Park, N. j., camp to
day. Bobo also is close to the
weight and expects no trouble.
Olson also has boxed sparingly
merely tapering off after his Cali
fornia work. Today's five rounds
would make a total of 63 rounds.

.FSU Moves Into
.Cridiron Bigtime

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. R-Florida
State UniverSity-not so long age
a girls school-haS stepped into
big-time football.
But the step won't be taken until
the 1854 gridiron season. when
FSU will play Villanova. Announce.
ment of the Villanova game was
made yesterday.
The SeminoleS' 1854 schedule
thus now has five 'major opponents,
the number necessary for school
to qualify as a top-fight team
under the strength-of-schedule rule
required by the National Collegiate
Athletic Association.
The four other major teams on
tap for next years schedule are
Auburn, Virginia Military Institute,
Furman and Davidson. Other 1854
opponents are the University of
Louisville, Stetson and Mississippi
Southern.
Said head Coach Tom Nugent:
Naturally, I'm pleased but hope
we're not moving too fast"
1t was only eight years ago that
FSU was converted from a girls
to a co-educational school.
I'VE have confidence that eventu-
ally we shall hold our own" Nu-
gent added, but it will be rough
for couple of years"
FSU won only one football game
in 1852. This year, the schools first
under Nugent, the Seminoies have
lost 30 to Miami and 20-7 to
Abilene Christian but showed
Louisville aside with a $50 drub-
bling.

NEW YORK R-College football
iquarterbacks who are accustomed
to running the show are stealing
it this year too.
An amazing number of outstand

handling bigwigs who appear to be
making the most of the new sub
stitution rule.
Maybe the reason for their sue
cess lies in the one platoon game
which gives the quarterback an
opportunity to intercept a pass or
make an obvious open-field tackle.
Or possibly it's an increasing
adoption of the split-T attack in
which he becomes an important
runner too. Whatever the cause
the results speak for themselves.
Parker, the split-T master who
ran up 12O points as an offensive
specialist last year: has looked
even better so far in SO as an
all-around performer. In States

scored twice, passed for a third,
made half dozen key tackles and
angled a punt out on the Vol two
on one of the kicks that kept the
losers in hot water all afternoon.
1t was Guglielmi who got first
ranked Notre Dame off on the right
foot in its make-or-break opener
with Oklahoma by scoring one
touchdown and passing for two
