Miami Works
On Punting
For Florida

Two long returns of kicks by
Georgia Tech against Alabama in
Atlanta Saturday drew some care
full attention from Miamians and
might be the pattern of things to
come Friday night in the Orange
Bowl.
The Hurricanes, who broke Capt.
Malloy loose for touchdown runs
against Holy Cross and Mississippi
State, haven't continued that string
of gallops of late.
Only two kicks could be return
ed against Maryland, from a q
yard total. Three boots were re-
turned for IS yards against Ford.
ham but not one Auburn punt
could be hauled back, a factor OF
no little Importance in the final
outcome of that tilt.
Although Capt. Malloy is Miami'S
Standout on punt returns, Coach
Andy Gustafson has several other
lads capable of going all the way
too. Jack LOsch went 80 yardson
too. Jack Losch went 80 yards on
his lone try to date and he has the
speed to outrun most any defender.
Ed Oliver picked up 81 yards on
his one kick return to date and
Rebel Bookman has "a yarder
to his credit. Merrill Erickson is
also a dangerous man on kick re-
turns.
Alabama has shown earlier lap
ses on kick returns - Mississippi
State got one I'd on a Bobby Col
lins punt return in the game which
was the downward turning point in
the 'Bama campaign.
Miami has ended rough work for
the Alabama game. The team will
spend their time Wednesday and
Thursday in light polishing drills
and then viii be ready for one Of
their most important football bat
ties of the year.
Alabama is booked to arrive in
Miami at 2 p. m. Thursday on a
Capitol Airline plane and will work
out Thursday night at Memorial

Hickey Pulls Off
Another Big Deal

a former Boston Red Sox relief
pitcher, was plucked by Detroit
from Louisville, where he had an
11-12 record. Boyer, released by
the st. Louis Cardinals last year
because of a sore arm, was OBJ
tanned by Kansas City from Roch-
ester. =
Kansas City spent $50, 600 for
three players, all pitchers. Besides
Boyer, the club purchased Bon
Spicer, a knuckleballer who had
a 1916 record at Los Angeles, and
southpaw Art Ceccarelli from the
Kansas City roster in the Ameri-
can Assn. Ceccarelli, former Yank-
ee property, had 1912 record at
Birmingham.
Others taken included pitcher
Vincente Amor, 1911 at Oklahoma
City, and outfielder Jim King a .315
hitting outfielder from Omaha by
the Chicago Cubs; right-hander
Joe Trimble, 9-12 at Burlington,
NC, by the Red Sox; shortstop
John Kline, .319 at Birmingham,
by Washington; southpaw Jerry
Dean, 1872 at Greenville, Miss,
and outfielder Glenn Gorbous, .2s3

Its my contention that concrete

Reason, he says, is that tennis
is faster on concrete court and
tne beginner has to learn to play
faster. The result is that when he
runs into a clay court, if is easier
to handle the ball.
That's the reason California is

Sugar Bowl Teams
Face Trouble In
Saturday Games

NEW ORLEANS R-Navy, Bay
lor and Mississippi hold the inside
track to the Sugar Bowl, but must
defend their favored positions
against traditional rivals Saturday.
The rivals-Army, Rice and Mis-
sissippi State-have the talent as
well as the desire that could dash
the trio's hopes.
Oncebeaten Mississippi can
wrap up the Southeastern Confer
ence championship and the hosts
role in the Sugar Bowl by downing
Mississippi State. Mississippi rules
a two-touchdown favorite to win
its first SEC title since 1s47. but
State knocked the Rebels ou of a
bowl bid last year with a II tie
and has shown power at times
this season.
Navy's name bobbed up yester-
day when Sugar Bowl official,
who asked to remain unidentified.
said the academy has expressed
keen interest in an invitation. The
official said, however, that the
Middies must defeat or tie Army
at Philadelphia.
A victory over Rice would give
Baylor share of the Southwest
Conference championship with Ar
kansas, which is going to the Cot
ton Bowl.
The Sugar Bowl spokesman said
that while Bowl officials like to
have an SEC team as host, it IS
not necessary. The official said

1854 West High School At South Dade Wednesday,
UCLA Is Close
Second In
Sen,i-FinaIs
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rose Bowl-bound Ohio State, only
the second team in Big Ten his
tory ever to win seven straight
games in that tough circuit, re-
ceived a humping vote of conf
dence today from $50 sports writer's
and broadcasters participating in
the semifinal Associated Press
ranking poll.
The experts, who put Ohio's
Buckeyes ahead of equally unbeat-
en- UCLA a week ago by the extra
thin margin of seven points, moved
them out nearly 100 points ahead
of the Uclans today.
Ohio State, with lis first-place
votes, piled up a total of 2,259
points on the usual basis of 10
points for each first-place vote, 9
for second, etc. UCLA gathered
IS firsts and 2,162 points for Sec
ond place, while Oklahoma's Soon
ers, holding firmly onto third place,
polled 81 firsts and 1883 points.
These three unbeaten teams,
each with nine victories, remained
well in front as five changes were
recorded in the top 10. Notre Dame
and Army held the fourth and fifth
spots, followed by Navy, Mississip-
pi, Wisconsin, Baylor and Mary
land, in order.
These switches reflected last Sat-
urday's results, with one excep-.
ton. Navy, which had been shade
behind Mississippi and tied with
Southern California for seventh
place, advanced to sixth in week
when both teams were idle. South
ern California, thumped $40 by
UCLA, dropped to 18th place.
Arkansas and Minnesota fell
from the last two places in the
first 10 to deep in the second as
they lost to Louisiana State and
Wisconsin, respectively. Wisconsin,
20 winner over Minnesota; Bay
lor, which beat Southern Metho-
dist 1921, and Maryland, 4S-6 win
ner over George Washington, came
up to the vacant spots.

understand that the only alter

More than 100 prominent sign

must be regarded as vulnerable.
The present French govern

firmly strapped to the chopping-
block.
Whether or not EDO can

French Parliament. and whether
or not the continued co-opera-
ton of this nation can be
counted on, are matters that are
endlessly debated by the in
terested parties. But it is highly
unlikely that any French gov

performance by the allies in
Berlin, and it is this fact. per-
haps more than any other. that

cession, suggest their good Offices

on that one might be, the West

France would be tempted most

The biggest problem that faces
the West as it approaches Berlin
is the small number of bargain

conference table. Particularly
since it cannot afford to stand

5. A proposal for f1ve-power

Just exactly how the West will
counter these proposals is i'm
possible to predict at this point,
For one thing. much would de-
pend on the order in which they
were presented and whether each
was conditional on acceptance
Of the preceding proposal. 1t is
possible, however, to lay down a
general line beyond which the

point is that all matters which
would normally fall within the
scope of a German peace treaty
and this includes the questions
of frontiers and armament lin
itation-muSt be worked out by
negotiation between the Big
Four and the new, alderman

The point of this is obvious.
Neither the allies nor the West

tions would be a pushover for
Communist pressure from within
as well as from without.
What makes German unifica-
ton so doubtful is simply this:
The Russians cannot be expected
to agree to the creation of a
really free alderman govern
ment which would, in all prob
ability. be allied with the West.
The allies cannot be expected to
agree to unif1cation on terms
which imperil the military and
political asset it already possesses
in West Germany.
ID. c. Heart of Problem.
For both sides, the European
Defense Community lies at the
heart Of the matter. Beyond any
doubt, the Russians will do their
utmost to kill all hope of a united
European army. The West will
work just as hard to keep it alive
On the more peripheral issues

The allies are reported to be pre-
pairing their own version of an
East-West security pact which is

not limited to the future of Ger

questions are almost secondary

/ continued Western solidarity as
the talks progress.
The critical member of the
coalition, of course, is France.
