Sport Shorts MIAMI (®—The University of Miami football Hurricanes today will hear a report on Virginia Mil- itary Institute plays and continue workouts for the opening game Friday night with the Keydets. Miami scouts Walter Kichefski and George Trogdon were to re- port this morning on what they saw Saturday when V. M. I. opened against William and Mary. Today’s practice may wind up the twice-a-day sessions for the year but Coach Andy Gus! indicated if he is not sa er the evening drill, another morn- ing session may be held Tuesday.

The Georgia pro soared to a 75 for his final round, but with three previous rounds of 67-67-68, had a comfortable six-stroke cush ion over the Memphis dentist. Mid- dlecoff, however, narrowed Harp. er’s margin to only two strokes at one time through the final round is*the new Southeast ern PGA champion for 1952. Mid dlecoff is a PGA member and!

What he is hoping and praying for is that the ole pappy guy, Jersey Joe Walcott, will pull a fast one and come out slugging at the first bell in their championship duel Tuesday night at Philadelphia. “I'd like to fight right off the bat if he wants to,’ the Brockton belter says. “I seem to do all |tight in the exchanges.” Was he perhaps a little worried that the wily old champ might give him the dipso-doo round after round, dancing around and side- | stepping and dropping his gloves at his side and generally lousing up the act? “Yeah,” challenger id the stocky young Yeah, I guess I am a I hope he wants to fight, the way some of the fellows think he might.” Rocky was reminded that this figured to be much the toughest fight he has had in his meteoric career as a knocker-outer. He was told that Walcott, for all his years still was a very rough and clever and that he obviously was in wonderful shape. “I know that,” Marciano said, seriously. ‘‘He’s the champion, and you've got to be good to be the champion.

Eastern Conference Has Heavy Slate By The Associated Press For a September day, the South- eastern Conference football pro- | gram Saturday of seven games is | hard to beat. There is nothing resembling a breather in the bunch and it’s not out of reason to expect two or 3 favorites to get whipped. Leading off the program three-way tie for game of the day —Florida at Georgia Tech; Geor- gia at Tulane and Maryland vs. Auburn in Birmingham. Maryland, ranked second in the nation in the AP poll,isn’t a SEC member but the Terraphis play five conference opponents which means they will have a big part in deciding who wins the cham- pionship. Auburn hardly is an SEC championship contender but the Plainsmen have improved to the Point where a game with Maryland should produce some good foot- ball Standing-wise, the Georgia-Tu- lane game is first rate After whip- ping Vanderbilt last week, 19-7, in the only SEC game Georgia week in New Orleans and Wally rates first in the standings.

U. in Baton Rouge Saturday night and Vandy in Char- lottesville aganst Virgi Tech and Mississippi piled up identical 54-6 scores over the Cita- del and Memphis Sate. Although both Tech and Mississippi were expected to look good, both looked | great. In Nashville the Vandy Commo- dores successfully held Georgia’s passing quarterback, Zeke Brat- kowski, to a minimum of throwing activity. But, Georgia, unlike the 1951 season, had the running guns to turn on instead. A good set of hoofers showed well, especially Fullback Foots Clemens. Florida showed up with good passing by Rick Casares and won | 33-6 over Stetson. L. S. U. didn’t do as well as Tiger people hoped for against Texas and lost a rough 35-14 game to the Longhorns. Ala- bama showed Ittle in fumbling 12 times and skidding through to a 20-6 victory over Mississippi South- ern. Kentucky was upset by Villa- | nova, 25-6.

One was from a merchant who said all the money will be taken out of Key West. If I were a merchant I too would object if this was so but lets examine the correctness of this statement. By law the State requires dog tracks to return to the betting public 83° of the money in the pool. That leaves 17° of which 5‘< is contributed to the State for taxes, Monroe County’s share of this 5[ goes to teachers and old age pensions. Of the remaining 12“ it is estimated that 3° goes as purses to the dog owners, These are human beings who will have to reside here and spend their money for rent, water, electricity, groceries and entertainment. Of the 9°o remaining it is estimated 6% will go toward salaries of employees and other expenses. Approximately 3% will go to the stockholders which means if we do a million dollars of business the stockholders will earn $30,000.00. Of course we hope to do more because we have faith in the future growth of Kev West, but is that so much for the risk of over a quarter of a mile lion dollars in capital? The second objection is the one of the ministers who believe a bad element will come to Key West with the opening of the dog track here. I am asking for the answer to this question from law enforcement officials in Florida.
