And high in the 1854 memories
are those of the most refreshing
golfer of the year, possibly of the
decade-Billy Joe Patton. Re-
member Patton made possible
that Masters playoff between
Snead and Hogan by taking the
brutal Z on the 18th hole of the
final round.
In the locker room at Augusta
Patton was being consoled, as
well as questioned about his
Judgment on the fatal hole when
he gambled and lost. IF you
hadn't taken the z you might
have caught Hogan" somebody
said Snead had not finished at
that time and Hogan looked like
the winner.
Listen" Patton said in his
sharp, evangelistic manner, "if
! had made 4 on that hole ]
wouldn't have been trying to
catch Mr.. Hogan. He would have
been trying to catch me-"
And at the National Open,
after Patton had led the first
round with an almost incredible
SO, he sat through a half-hour
interview and then told the press,
II might shoot 80 tomorrow. and
If do I want to tell you about
that, too"
He shot a rs. and came to
the press tent alone this time,
instead of under the protective
custody of police. Lets co." he
yelled in his friendly manner to
fellows who now were writing
about somebody else. "You all
wanted to hear about that SO
shot yesterday. I want to tell
you about that 76 I shot today"

Record Pilgrimage
10 Back Razorbacks
In Cotton Bowl Game
By II. A..oelas.d Pres,

DALLAS, Dec. 25.--Arkansas'
statistical records may be medi-
ocre, and the team is q definite
underdog to Georgia Techs YER
satile Yellow Jackets. but that
isn't stopping the greatest pill
grimage from one State to the
Cotton Bowl in its 10 years.
An estimated $4,000 Arkansas
fans will flood Dallas next week
to see their favorite sons-the
fabulous "23 little pigs"--battie
bowlwise Georgia Tech.
It's fanastlc the way the
people from the Ozarks back q
team that has proven the most
pleasant surprise in the long
and often down Arkansas foot
ball history. They'd probably
buy $4,000 more tickets to the
big game If they were available.
Howard Grubbs. secretary Of
the Cotton Bowl. says this game
has brought the greatest demand
for tickets, despite the fact that
the fans won't get q peek at
either competing team until two
days before the New Years Day
game.
Arrive Thursday.
Both Arkansas and Georgia
Tech return to the practice held
Monday and they will work there
until next Thursday. when they
finally come to Dallas.
Arkansas. with the smallest
bowl squad, both in size and
numbers-just "a players with
only four weighing over 400
pounds--will arrive by train at
tbs am. Thursday, not even
coming downtown but stopping
at a suburban railroad station
and proceeding to their hotel
from there.
Georgia Tech flies in at II am.
with 80 players. There will be
some $500 fans from Georgia
accompanying the team on .
second visit to the Cotton Bowl.
The only other time Tech played
in the Dallas game--l943--it lost
to Texas, lat.
Comparison Of Records.
Arkansas has an 81 record for
the season but the two games 1t
lost were to teams Georgia Tech
beat. The Razorbacks lost to
Southern Methodist. 21-14. and
to Louisiana state, 7-6. Tech
edged SMU, 1877, and beat LSU.
1920.
Georgia Tech has 7-3 record
but a much better statistical
mark. The Engineers rolled UP
2,728 yards rushing and passing,
much of the rushing through its
belly series"-something SMU
used with devastating effective
ness against Arkansas.

Star S,off correspondent

CAVE CITY, KY, Feb. To-
Explorers of Operation Be-
yond." the National Speleogical
Society's exploration Of the vast
recesses of Crystal Cave, today
stumbled upon q paradise" of
coral canyons previously unsus-
pected. The discovery is called
the most important find to date
in the week-long exploration,
now in it's sixth day.
The cave explorers reported
finding beyond the greatest
depths yet penetrated an Ten
tire new cave system of pas
sages leading of from two great
underground canyons from so to
100 feet deep and about 80 feet
wide. It contains formations of
coral and walls covered with
shell deposits and might be con-
Sidered q fossil section of the
bottom Of the ancient inland
sea upon whose floor the lime
stone strata, later dissolved into
caves. was laid down, largely
from the shells of marine ami
mails.
The new system was. entered
by crawling through a narrow
hole 80 feet UP the wall Of the
so-called "bottomless pit" which
has constituted one Of the chief
perils Of the expedition. Thorough
exploration. it was estimated,
would require at least a month,
but the majority Of the explor-
ers will pull out over the week
end.
800 Feet Underground.
The new section, lies 800 feet
below the surface. Preliminary
reports are that it is a place of
numerous streams and water
falls and it is believed that it
may be near a meeting place of
the subterranean waters which
finally merge into one stream
flowing into the green river.
A major danger encountered
by the depth explorers, moving
like human flies along precip-
itous walls is moon. milk" It
is a white. claylike substance
which forms along the walls and
takes the shape of stalactites
which appear absolutely solid.
When grasped for support. how
ever, they have about the con-
sistency Of cottage cheese and
one 12-foot fall has been blamed
on this deception.
The explorers come on evil
dence that others had preceded
them in some parts Of the cave
Indian gypsum hunters at least
500 years ago. The evidence was
the partly burned remains of
bullrush torch.
Were Mysterious Race.
The gypsum hunters are a
mysterious race. They seem to
have attached some religious
value to the flowerlike cave wall
formations and crawled for
miles through passages barely
large enough to admit a man to
secure them. They also left
traces in. the nearby Mammoth
Cave.
They belonged to no known
tribe. Historically Kentucky
was a hunting ground and bat
tlefield of several tribes, but |
few red men lived here.
Bats have gone as far as man,
but there are very few of them

Cave Explorers Find Paradise
OF Long-Lost Coral Canyons

in the ultimate depths to which
the explorers have gone, Thomas
c. Barr Of Nashville. expedition
biologist, reported today. He
found a few of the largest of
American cave bats, the big
brown bat. and, at a greater
depth than is frequented by any
other species. the smallest of
eastern bats. the Pipistrelle. Only
the big brown is powerful enough
to penetrate the skin of a hui
man being.
These bats were identified by
Miss Nancy Rogers, Walter Reed
Hospital biologist. who now has
passed four days in the cave.
She had planned some bat band
ing experiments, but the animals
are too few to make this profit
able and Miss Rogers has worked
for several days as camp cook.
Surprised at Depth.
1t was surprising to find any
bats at all at such depths, Mr..
Barr said, since the animals must
leave every night to forage for
insects. They fly all, night long,
eating on the wing about a third
Of their own weight in insects,
and returning to the dark cav
ems to sleep.
The wet walls in places are
alive with cave crickets. prob
ably the most conspicuous form
Of life underground. They are
small. white, transparent. blind
grasshoppers with antennae as
much as 8 inches long. With
these they feel their way in the
darkness. To some extent they
are cannibals. but apparently
get their chief nutriment from
organic material brought in by
water seeping through the earth.
They are voiceleSs, as are all
cave animals.
The ubiquitous rat has pene-
trated some of the greatest
depths Of this cave. Several
nests have been found. but the
rat is not true cave animal
and must go outside to seek it's
food. These animals are quite
similar to pack rats. They bring
in supplies Of leaves, nuts and
almost anything they can pick
up. which they pile around their
nests. Mr.. Barr found one rat
nest made of strands of a rope
which had been carefully sep
arated and then woven together
again.

Temus r. Bright, used car
dealer who has been much in

Of charges that he failed to
deliver titles on cars he sold.
Magistrate Wilfred T. Nc
QUAD said he could not convict
Bright because the law on
delivery of titles does not set
any specific time limit. Magis-
trate McQuaid suggested the
current session of the Maryland
General Assembly ought to close
the loophole.
Mr.. Bright has filed as a

Many individuals Stood Out
In Diocese's Top Sports Year

The high school athletic year
which came to an end last week
will long be remembered as one
of the most successful in diocesan
history. The year produced two
state championships. It also brought
forth a bumper crop of individual
stars.
Probably the greatest achieve
ment was cIimaxed on March 27
when New Lexington st. Aloysius
was crowned state class B basket
ball champion. And the next shin
ing moment came on May % when
Columbus Aquinas annexed its sec
ond straight golf title. But preced-
ing these events we're a number
of other noteworthy affairs.
St. Charles Topped Football
Columbus St. Charles wasn't ex-
pected up come up with another
season like they'd enjoyed the
year before. And the Cards didn't
look it when preseason practice
started on August 20. But Jack
Ryan's men seemed to improve
with each game, and after an early
season loss to Columbus Central
they roared on undefeated. st.
Charles proved its right to a high
rating by dropping Columbus Lin
den Mckinley, the eventual City
League champs.
Dennison st. Mary came up
with one of the strongest teams
in its history and topped off the
season with a win over arch-rival
Dover st. Joseph. You can't leave
out Marion st. Mary who lost only
one game and was unscored on till
late in the season.
And again New Lexington St.
Aloysius stepped INTO the limelight,
for in football the Blue Knights
won the six man Tri-County league
in their first year at the grid
sport.
Allen Made Coaches Rave

ketball court have been told and
retold many times during the past
two months. Sparked by the great
Mike Allen the Blue Knights roar
ed through the District and Region
al championships and into the
state finals. There we're many who
doubted St. AIS right to compete
in the championship finale. Del
phos st. John and Copley had been
getting the rave notices all sea
son long. But the Knights took
their two games in stride and came
out the victors. in as wild a fin
ish as the tourney has ever pro-
duced.
Many other fine teams stood out
on the hardwood. Newark St. Fran
els, paced by Frank Murphy and
Bobby Franks, grabbed off first
place In the Central Catholic
League. The Green Wave enjoyed
a highly successful season, being
ranked eighth in the state at one
point during the campaign.
And who will ever forget the
great Harry Fitzpatrick of Lancas-
ter ST. Mary, who led the Sham
rocks for three years? Fitzpatrick
was named to a first team all-Ohio
berth, and well deserved it. Then
there was the one-nan gang at
Somerset Holy Trinity, Martin
Walker. Walker brought Somer-
set its best team in years. He was
a stand-out in Perry county hoop
circles for four seasons.
There were others too, Mike An
derson of Marion st. Mary, Tom
Bramlish and Chuck Mattingly
of GAINESVILLE Rosecrans, Dick Fond
riest of Dennison st. Mary and
Paul Bettendorf of ChiIlicothe Ca
tholic Central In Columbus it was
Bill Stewart and Dave Barker of
ST. Mary, Joe Endres of st. Charles,
and Ralph Reiser and Bill Nye of
Aquinas.
Roseersns and Cards in Baseball
Two outstanding pitchers led
their teams into regional baseball
finals, where the teams that beat
them went on to capture the state
crowns in the A and B divisions.
Joe Rotonda set records at St.
Charles that may well stand for
ever. The fast-halhng lefty won
games over three. year span. m
cluded in that number we're sew
eral no-hitters and numerous one
hit efforts. Rotonda tossed every
game for the Carolians in their
tourney quest before they finally
bowed out to Mansfield the event
ual Class A titalist.
Tom Bramlish of Rosecrans set
a glittering mark of no-hitters and
one-hitters in his two year tenure
as leader of the Bishop mound staff.
He worked and won five games
over ten day period for the Hill
toppers as they advanced through
District and regional play before
they were topped 4-s by Waverly
in the finals. Waverly went on to
grab the B toga the next week.
Terriers Set Record in Golf
Columbus Aquinas became the
second team in ohio's history TO
win more than one state golf crown
when they came In with a record
low of 322 to successfully defend
the crown they won last year. Paced
by Gene Cardi, who was the Ter
riers' low man both years, they
made up for their lone loss of the
season by topping Upper Airing
