Fall In Miami,
|'Ballla Battle

CORAL GABLES, FLA. - Uni
versity of Alabama, which hasn't
scored on anyone for the last X
quarters of football it has played
and the University of Miami which
hasn't shut out anyone all season
will end at least one of those
streaks Friday night in the Orange
Bowl.
Miami has come close to scoring
shutouts in each of its last thrae
games. Maryland was pinned back
into its own territory and appar.
emily frustrated until well into the
fourth quarter when a roughing he
kicker penalty after a bad fourth
down kick gave the Terps q new
life - and the chance to drive
for their one score.
Fordham didn't have a chance
against Miami = until a mis-direct-
ed lateral was intercepted for a
scoring run.
Even Auburn was outgained and
shut out until well into the fourth
quarter against Miami. Then, fol-
lowing the I'd Miami almost had
but lost, the Tigers regained their
poise and poured through the Mi
ami line for drives of SO, q - and
as the game was ending, another
20 yards to win both the ball
game and the battle of the stats,
ties.
However, Miami coaches aren't
as much concerned over keeping
'Bama's' scoreless streak intact as
they are in penetrating a defense
which is lot rougher than it look
ed against Georgia Tech. sBama
has five shutouts to its credit and
though Techs performance last
week may have dropped the Tide
from first place in total defense
and passing defense, Coach Red
Drew's club has the size and the
savvy to make things very tough
for any ball club.
Miami has never beaten a Uni
versity of Alabama football team.
The schools have met three times
on the gridiron and on each oc-
casion Alabama won three touch
downs to one.

Title May Be
Decided Sat.

NEW YORK R-No doubt about
it. The three best passers in col
lege' footballs this year are Ore.
CONS George Shaw, California S
Paul Larson and Purdue's Lennie
Dawson. All three wrap up their
seasons this Saturday and each
apparently has a national. title
cinched.
According to NCAA statistics re-
leased Wednesday Shaw still ranks
No. l in total offense, with Larson
making a strong bid to overtake
the leader and win the crown two
years running. The California ace,
meanwhile, has a new national
pass completion record almost in
hand.
Dawson, the youngster who up
set Notre Dame, holds the lead
in pass yardage.
Shaw, leading all season, has a
total yardage net of 1,415 yards
as he winds up against Oregon
State. Larson takes a 1,375-yard
total against Stanford. Dawson,
with 1909, opposes Indiana.
Larson could become the second
collegian to. win the total-yardage
crown in successive years-Okla-
homa A & Ms Bob Fenimore did
it in 1944-45 and brakes Johnny
Bright pulled it off in 1948-50-but
at worst he'll be tops in compile
tions. Thus far he's hitting at 64.2
per cent, completing Ill of 173
tosses. Washington's Don Heinrich
set the present accuracy record
Of 6O.9 per cent in 1850. Shaw is
second in completions with S6 and
Dawson third with 81.
Lawson's leading air yardage is
1,4OO, with Larson second on 1887.
The Purdue ace also has the most
touchdown passes with IA.
In rushing, the top three Dali
carriers also rank as the leading
scorers, and in the same order
Arizona's Art Luppino, Penn
States Lenny Moore and Army's
Tommy Bell.
Luppino, a sophomore, looks like
the champ in both departments
with two games remaining while
his closest competitors have but
one. He has scored 1873 points
(only 20 short of the highest total
in "a years. and has rushed to
1,O25 yards. Moore, a junior, has
scored 78 points and netted LOLA
yards and Bell, in his final year,
has scored 72 points and gained
914 yards.

Sports Roundup
BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK Up - Having noted
that one of our principal tennis
heroes, Tony Trabert, had just
taken a shellacking from minor
Australian player named Don
Candy out in Sydney, we ran down
that doyen of American tennis
teachers, Mercer Beasley, and
asked him what in the world he
thought the game was coming to.
Beasley, who has devoted his
past 50 years to showing our youth
the proper end of racquet to
grip, frankly was gloomy.
Thinking has gone out of the
game" he said. 81 would have to
say that that is the principal de-
velopment / have seen in my time.
If there is a man playing today
who thinks on the court the way
Bill Tilden did, l don't know who
he is. Bill would have thought any
of our present amateurs right off
the court.
"All they know now is to hit
the ball past them down the lines.
Maybe this dates me, but that's
the way / see it."
Beasley, who was instrumental
in the development of two such
stars as Ellsworth Vines and
frankie Parker, now travel S
around the country for a sporting
goods firm, conducting tennis elm
les and ever searching for talent.
He is convinced that if the United
States ever is to reclaim its for
mer place in the net world it must
look to the public parks.

Only 1900 of 10000 In Anchorage File Land Registration

ANCHORAGE, R - Only 1900 of an estimated 10000 property owners have filed declarations of ownership in the US. Commits sioner's office with the -deadline set for tomorrow at noon.
 A law passed by the 1853 leg islature prescribes a $5 penalty for persons not filing by tomor- row and provides for confisca- ton and sale of property not registered by July 1, 1854.
 Some doubt has been expressed whether the law ever will be enforced, with two territorial of ficials disagreeing.
 WA. Chipperfield, territorial land commissioner, charged with administration of the act, has ex- pressed doubts it will be enforced. Atty. Gen. J. Gerald Williams, who was first to comply with the law in this district, said, how CT, he expected it would be en- forced.
 Williams registered his property the second week in December, touching off the scramble by othe s to comply. This has been com. icated by failure of the ter ritor. to provide forms for filing.
 Ch Derfield said he has not public d the act because his of flee ' $ not provided with funds to flu fish the forms or compile the information obtained in the filing.

No Move AfOOt
 To Curb Scope of Mccarthy Comm.

WASHINGTON, LR - Senator Knowland said today the Senate Republican Policy Committee may study change in subpoena rules, but he declared there is no COP move afoot to curb the scope of investigations by Sen. Mccarthy.
 Knowland, the Senate majority leader, said in an interview the policy group may look into the wisdom of requiring approval by a committee quorum before issu- ance of any subpoena for wit nesses or documents.
 This isue was raised last month when Chairman Velde acted alone in signing a subpoena for former President Truman to testify be- fore the House un-American Act ivities Committee in the Harry Dexter White case. Truman re- fused to honor the subpoena, not because of the way it was issued, but on the ground that Congress may not require an ex-president to testify.
 Although there has been no comparable action in the Senate, Know1and said he thinks it might be wise to clarify the rules on this point.
 There has been ,unconfirmed talk that some Republican lead CTS would like to curb the far flung investigation activities of McCarthy's permanent investiga- tions subcommittee. Some mem bers of the Senate Internal Se- curity subcommittee grumbled privately that Mccarthy was en- croaching on their field of hunt ing for Communists.

Major Plywood Co. Applies For Pulp
 Plant Near Juneau

JUNEAU, LR - The Georgia Pacific Plywood Co. has made written application to the U. s. Forest Service regional office here for national forest timber for newsprint plant in the Juneau area.
 Regional Forester A.W. Greeley described the application as bring ing a step closer a long-hoped-for industrial timber development in this part of Alaska. He said the firm expressed a belief that the area is suitable for newsp1int mill and expressed the intention of launching on such a future project.
 Greeley added, however, that even if the company presses for ward for the project, and the necessary procedures move smooth ly, he does not believe the actual plant construction could be ex- pected in less than two to three years.
 He said the company indicated tentative plans for newSprint plant of 1,0OO-ton daily capacity. Georgia Pacific is one of the nations major operators.
 He said a specific plant site has not been selected, and other fac tors, such as the electric power and water supply, remain to be worked out.

1854 Employment Outlook Described As "Uncertain''
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss'

Recent and planned layoffs of employees in industry and rail- roads, which employ nearly 20 million workers, total 53,000, a survey has disclosed.
 The nations total unemployed, as of November, was 1,428,000, an increase of only 10000 from No velmber, 1852. Of the 61,925,000 workers in all gainful occupations in November, 16,711,0000 were in manufacturing industries a n d 2,956,000 in railroads.
 The Associated Press survey showed that most of the 53,O00 workers were laid off in the last few weeks or face unemployment by the middle of January. All though most of the layoffs ap peared to be of the long term type, there appeared openings in other fields. Most of the metro politan newspapers carry many columns of ''help wanted" classi- fled ads.
 On Tuesday President Eisen- hover outlined a federal man. power policy designed to channel more defense contracts into areas "where there has been large amount of unemployment" The proposed program has drawn pro- test from southern Democrats. Senator Knowland of California, the Republican leader, also has expressed disagreement over the administration proposal.
 At a forum in Washington this week, a majority of about 300 economists agreed that the coun- try is having an "orthodox reces- sion," mild but general, and pre- dicted that the business slump would continue through next year.
 In New Years statement, George Meany, president of the American Federation of Labor, said there is mo indication that the rising tide of unemployment will be reversed" in 1854. ''There is but one word which describes employment conditions for the New Year: uncertainty" Meany said.
