'24.—The first 32,000 of the quar- ter million football fans who will jam the Orange Bowl to see the University of Miami Hurricanes in action this fall, will be on hand the night of Sept. 26 to see Coach Jack Harding's eleven launch its 1947 football campaign against the rejuvenated Baylor Bears from Waco, Texas. Season ticket sale assures the Hurricanes of 12,000 fans for ev- ‘ery game while the student and faculty sections boost the total to 20,000 per game. Sell-outs of the 35,000 Orange Bowl seating capacity seem assured for most of the eight home games. Miami won eight of ten last year and faces a somewhat stronger overall schedule this fall, though only Alabama is ex- pected to approach the class of ISU and North Carolina, Miami’s 1946 conquerors. | Hal Johnston at. fullback is ex- pected to be oné of the nation’s jeading ground gainers this fall. A year ago the Hurricanes gained (ee yards on his passes and since Hal has virtually all of his favor- ite receivers back with a few newcomers added, the outlook for Miami success by the air route is excellent. Hal averaged almost exactly 20 yards gain for each completed pass. The 182 pound back is no scat back but his power running eats up the yards. His average gain on 61 running plays last year was 3.6 yards per try. When it is con- sidered that this average includes 92 yards of losses, most of which came on plays when pass receiv- ers were too well covered, the figure is very good. His actual gain on strictly running plays was about five yards per try. He also took part in the longest punt return Miami made last year. He took a Louisiana State punt on his 20, broke away’ from just about every L.S.U. foe who hit him on his journey and finally, after covering 70 yards, lateraled to John Mell for a score as he was being hauled from behind. Key West Stars To Play In Havana The Key West All Stars will play in Havana, Cuba, against the University of Havana, on October 4 and 5. The locals will leave Key West Friday, Oct. 3, at 4:30 p.m., via the Aerovias Q, and return Monday, Oct. 6, at 10 a. m. Those wishing to make the trip with the Key West club should single by Garcia in the third, and in the seventh, M. Tynes walked, Battano fanned, and then F. Tynes singled through first, and M. Tynes scored. Machin * and Santana fanned to end the game. | At bat, Sterling. and Kerr hit two for the winners, and Garcia two for the losers. In the field, Albury, Lastres and Villareal were the best for the winners, and Machin, Santana, Hernandez were best for the losers. In the second game the Hospi- tal boys scored five runs and it looked like the ball game, but the | Jerrys kept picking away until they tied the score in the fifth. A homer by Mira gave them the first run. Mira singled a fielder’s choice and Walker singled and one error and two runs scored. In the fifth, Higganbotham sin- gled, Hernandez doubled and two runs scored. In the sixth, Walker hit to short, who fumbled the bail and was safe. Bolton sacrificed him to second, but Walker kept on to third when no one covered, and Pineda singled to center and Walker scored, In the seventh, Miller bynted safely, on a fielder’s choice went to second and scored on Figuras’ single to center. In the last half the Jerrys won the game. Sweeting flied to right, the fielder dropped the ball and Sweeting landed on second. Mira singled and the win- ning run crossed the plate. ‘ + At bat the leaders were Joe Mira, who hit four out of four times at bat. Walker hit two for the losers. Martin hit two. In the field, Higginbotham Vinson and Pineda were best for the winners, and for the losers Miller, Martin and Wells were the best. First Game Score by innings: R. H. E.
