A WORD TO THE WISE

in the second, 1t is distribltive:
/. The number Of students is
increasing.
2. A number Of students are

In the first sentence, "the

Answer: Sorry, but the SEN

MIAMI, Fla. Dec. IL lP).-The
unlikely combination of an ant
hill and a beautifully controlled
sharply slicing two-iron shot
helped record-smashing Sam
Snead win his sixth Miami Open
golf tournament.
The sensational, arcing two

after he pulled his drive into the
trees in a sudden-death playof1
with Tommy Bolt yesterday. The
ant hill caused Bolt to miss the
green and he wound up with a

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Dec.
IL (R.-The University of Vir-
ginia's Athletic Advisory Council
will hold informal interviews
this week to screen prospects for
the position of head football
coach.
The council, meeting yesterday
in a 41a-hour session, drew up
the interview schedule and began
to eliminate some of the IS men
under consideration.
Another council meeting was
scheduled for next Sunday.
Mortimer Caplin, who acted as
spokesman for the seven-man
council, said in all probability
no recommendation of a coach
will be made Sunday.
Caplin refused to mention any
names of candidates for the
head coach's post now filled by
Ned Mcdonald, who succeeded
Art Guepe three years ago.
Mcdonald, whose contract ex-
pires in March, probably won't
do anything until Colgate w
Darden, jr., president of the
university, returns to Charlottes-
vile from a United Nations as
signment. An invitation to at
tend yesterdays council meeting
was turned down by Mcdonald
During the 1855 football sea-
son, the Cavaliers lost nine OF
10 games-their worst record in
the schools history.
Caplin, who is chairman OF
the council, said:
If Mcdonald was available,
he would be given consideration
So far. he has not said he was
available"
Applications are still being
accepted for the coaching post
Caplin said.
