1t was a hard sum for the University Of
Miami to spare. But more money was needed,
much more: monkeys alone cost an average of
$40 each - and the team used them by the
hundreds! Here, let it be said, the anti
vivisectionists should spend day with child
in an iron lung before they rue the jungle
animals sacrifced.)
No Dimes Yet
DR. BOWMAN ASEIE, founder and president
of the University and DR.. Jay F. W. Pearson,
Ashes successor and himself a scientist, never
once faltered in their determination to raise
or find money to wage this war on polio. They,
and others, obtained it somehow - from the
generous Phpps family and friends solicited
by them, from the Mary Schuck Smith Fund
Ia Miami source), from the Mt. Sinai Hospital
in Miami Beach, and elsewhere. Sometimes
money came in just as the funds dwindled
to nil.
The National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis was, of course, kept informed OF the
project at every stage and expressed its cease
less interest. But venom research seemed
obsolete - and no dimes have marched to
Miami - as yet.
Finally, when the first research goal came
securely in view, major pharmaceutical
house contributed.
Meantime, the research men had moved
from the ex-hotel to Navy blimp base, 10
miles south of the city. This base had been
leased by the imaginative University, at NOM
inal cost, to house its Department of Tropical
Horticulture, along with DR.. Sanders re-
named Department of MicrObiology. There.
sitting up through hurricanes with sick mon
keys, donning slickers to deal with leaks in the
beat-up barracks when it rained, the scien-
lists kept house and pursued their battling
work until four years had passed.
But now, at last, their first scientific reports
are appearing. The reports are cautious, ten
tative and incomplete. Their meaning to the
layman is about as follows: A chemical sub
stance has been developed from cobra and
other venom which, when injected into me

your net earnings from the business will

Coverage for self-employed is manda-

Self-employed people with net earnings

Chamberlain Is Undefeated.
The Catholic league opener

MIAMI, Dec. z6. Secret
practice has entered the Orange
Bowl picture for the first time,
and while it is not an issue be-
tween the teams, the Miami
papers and other reporters here
for the game are not too happy
about it.
Oklahoma announced on ar
rival last night that workouts
would be closed to the public
and press. Today Coach Bud
Wilkinson of the Sooners re-
Tented somewhat and agreed to
permit one reporter from the
Miami Daily News and one from
the Herald to the practices, plus
the Oklahoma sports writer's.
But he ruled out those from the
wire services and those with the
Maryland team.
Heretofore, both teams in the
Orange Bowl have held open
workouts right up to game time.
Wilkinson explained that the
gatekeeperS at the University of
Miami. where the Sooners are
practicing. could not be bothered
checking credentials for every
body who says he is covering
the game. And the Orange Bowl
does not issue credentials for
the visiting press.
Coach Jim Tatum of Mary
land did not close today's prac-
tice to anybody. but he said he
probably would adopt Wilkin-
sons procedure. Tatum particu-
larly is peeved at a Miami COL
umniSt who took his own per-
sonal poll of the top team in
the country and announced the
results as something like 225
to 30, favoring Notre Dame over
Maryland.

tice sessions for both teams,
Tatum said: LET him run his
business and I'll run mine"
Both coaches will hold press
conferences after practice. and
have designated one practice ses-
sion for photographers. No
coach in the country knows the
value of publicity more than
Tatum, and none is more CO.
operative. but inasmuch as Will
kinson opened the matter, Jim
probably will go along.
NOTES.-The Orange Bowl
telecaSt has been increased to IS
stations and by game time it
may be 95. The Orange Bowl
will receive about $4,000 (not
$4,000 as previously an
nounceO from Nv this year and
100000 next year, the last un-
der the present contract. After
that the figure probably will be
doubled. Maryland ordered a
diathermy machine to be sent to
Miami High today and the truck
carrying it was involved in an
accident en- route. 1t was there
when the workout ended. :.
Sid Gilman. coach of the Uni
versity of Cincinnati team which

the Nation in total offenSe. was
a spectator at the Maryland
workout and said he was here to
watch "every minute Tatum will
permit"
Oklahoma players arrived in
matching white sports coats and
brown slacks, and a Maryland
coach remarked it was odd they
all went to the same tailor.
Wilkinson said he agreed with
the experts" that Maryland
should be favored, but Tatum
said that with Faloney in his
present condition, he disagreed.
