Cristobal Gridders To Arve Te The Cristobal Tigers, who meet the Conchs at Wickers Stadium Friday night in the first Shrine Classic, will arrive from the Canal one this afternoon. Aside from the 30 players and coaches, 29 spectators are flying to Key West from Cristobal for the game. The Key West Shrine club, spon- soring the game, met last night and complefed arrangements for the handling of the large crowd which is expected te jam into Wickers Stadium for the classic. Aside from the thrills of the game, the pre-game and _ intermission show will be worth the $2.00 ad- mission. Shrine officials pointed out to- day that it was necessary to charge $2.00 for every person be- | cause of the tremendous expense involved. Transportation for the game alone is $3,200.00. Federal and State tax as well as a charge tic Board of the seat sold takes in 50 per cent of the gate. e the additional costs of officials and bandages for the players. “We will be happy to break even on this venture,” one of the Shrine officials said. : With Seven victories and one tie for their season’s efforts, the Ti- gers feel that this is their year to break the jinx a Beckman coached team has held over them. On eight occasions a team coach- ed by Ed Beckman has met the | Cristobal Tigers and eight times the Beckman team has won. One of the best defensive players on the Canal Zone squad is a 125 pound halfback, Ted Chin, of Chinese extraction. He is consider- jed one of the best tackles on the squad. Another boy expected to i give the Conchs plenty of trouble on the line is Tony Dyer, a 198 pound tackle. Operating from a Missouri split T, Coach Luke Palambo will bring a well coached squad here. His team kicks from a spread forma- tion and the fans will see a dif- ferent brand of football out of the Tigers than they have seen all season. As for the Conchs, they are expected to rebound with ven- € 2° wmv | geance from the 14 te 7 upset | | by St. Peter and Paul last Fri- | day night.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — South- ern California’s Trojans may have @ open their full bag of tricks against Notre Dame Saturday if they expect to keep their record unblemished for their Rose Bowl engagement New Year’s Day. And that probability makes the game a scouting paradise for the coaching staff of Wisconsin’s Bad- gers, the Trojans’ Rose Bowl op- ponent. Saturday’s game is a sellout and both schools have requested that it be televised. The NCAA Tele- vision Committee is studying the request and has promised an an- swer. The NCAA’s television Game of the Week Saturday is the Army- Navy contest at Philadelphia. The Pacific Coast Conference champions have won nine in a row and haven’t been beaten since they last faced the Irish in Los Angeles in the 1951 finale, when Notre Dame won, 19-12. . And the Irish, ranked No. 7 in the current AP poll and one of the nation’s upset kings, might do it again. Ralph Guglielmi, who as a fresh- man quarterback last year sparked the Irish to victory over the men of Troy, is ready for another try. His passing arm will be aided by a running attack which has aver- aged 206 yards per game, paced by halfback Johnny Lattner and fullback Neil Worden. Southern California’s fine record has been compiled largely on a great defensive unit which has been responsible, directly or in- directly, for 141 points. That’s more than 106 points tallied by the Offensive crew. Coach Frank Leahy of the Irish has been ill but was expected to return to active coaching today. He personally scouted the Trojans, via television, from his sickebed Saturday as the coast champs sewed up the crown by beating UCLA, 14-12. Florida’s Long Ups SEC Scoring Lead ATLANTA (#—Floerida’s Buford Long scored two touchdowns against Miami to increase his lead over Alabama’s Bobby Luna for runner-up honors in the Southeast- ern Conference scoring race. Jack Parker, whose Mississippi State team was idle last week, is far in front with 106 points. Long has 78 and Luna 69. Another Florida back, Rick Casares, is fourth with 58. Ala- bama’s touchdown twins, Bobby Marlow and Corky Tharp, are tied for fifth with 54 each, and there is a three-way tie for seventh- Georgia Tech’s Leon Hardeman, Mississippi’s Wilson Dillard and Kentucky's Steve Meilinger each has 48.

By REX THOMAS AUBURN, Ala. #—The last guy you’d expect to intercept a pass is a giant, nearsighted tackle who can’t even see a football in the air. But “Blind Bill” Turnbeaugh did it Saturday and gave Auburn the break that led to a 3-0 victory over Clemson. It put the ball in position for an 18-yard field goal. It was a spectacular perform- ance for the 265-pound lineman whose eyesight is so bad he can’t see the opposing backfield from the line of scrimmage. And it was the biggest thrill in the 22-year-old senior’s already sensational grid- iron career. Turnbeaugh isn’t blind, but he’s as nearsighted as you car get. His own hand at arm’s length is just a blurry object. But turn him loose on the field and he’s a sput- tering crate of dynamite. It was part luck and a lot of quick thinking that enabled him to grab one of Clemson Quarter- back Billy Hair’s passes late in the Auburn game, hold onto it and rumble 10 yards downfield before he was stopped. “Something hit me in the chest and it was a second or two before I realized what it was,” the giant gridder explained. ‘Oh, I knew it was a pass play because of the way I was blocked. “So I just sort of drifted down the middle and ran right into it. I did the same thing once before in an “A” Day (inter-squad) game, but I didn’t get to run with the ball. Last Saturday was the longest run I ever made in a game.” Auburn drum-beaters call Turn- beaugh the “radar” boy with a “hear ’em, feel 'em, grab ’em” technique, but “Blind Bill” himself and Coach Ralph Jordan have a more scientific explanation. Says the coach: “Bill does a lot just by feel and touch. Sometimes he gets hold of an Auburn man by mistake. But more than that, it’s playing by Pressure. He’s learned that even when he’s blocked from the inside, the play generally goes outside him and vice versa. So he plays it that way.” And when he wraps his Turnbeaugh, a product of Tu- cumeari, N. M., wore contact lenses when he played high school he can get along better without them because he “‘tries to see too much.” He wears regular horn- rimmed glasses on the bench and in the classroom. The 6-foot 4-inch tackle has al ways had poor vision. On the eye chart it registers 20-200, about as low as it can get. And don't say anything to Turn- beaugh about his nearsightedness being over - exaggerated. “Heck no,” he snorts, “I sure wish was.” Bama Back Named Player Of The Week quarterback of Alabama’s Orange Bow! bound Crimson Tide, was named Associated Press back of | the week today.

The Australians believe in giv- ing a man his choice, bookmaker or pari-mutuel, right on the prem- ises, and so.far as we have been able to see or to learn there is no conflict between the two meth- ods of betting. They seem, rather, to complement one another. It is possible to stand in one spot and see both the prices be- ing flashed upon the tote board, which, incidentally, was invented by an Australian. This lends itself to a little extra excitement, for the patron, having decided upon a horse, then has to choose be- tween man and machine. The bookies, by some obscure signal system, keep in pretty close agreement on the principal entries. Say that they are offering 5-1 against the animal you fancy while the tote indicates the payoff will be slightly longer than that. You takes your choice, and we invariably took the bookie. Our reasoning, which we con- sidered extremely sound, was that a late rush of money into the machines might send the price tumbling down to 2-1 or even short- er in the iron men, whereas we had our man hooked for 5-1, no matter what happened. The fact that it never turned out that way has not lessened our faith in the system, The big money bettors, we noted, also appeared to favor the men under the umbrellas. The bookies and their assistants stand with their backs to the men-only clubhouse enclosure, accepting the modest offerings of the general Public outside the fence. The clubhouse toff strolls non- chalantly past and, without break- ing stride, murmurs, “Two thou- sand on No. 3.” The bookie takes \a fleeting glance over his shoulder to identify the sucker, scribbles \2 note on his pad and goes right on hawking his odds with the loss of perhaps five seconds. The man who thinks he knows a winner thus has gotten down a hefty bet of $4,500 without send- ing it through the machines and affecting the price. He has made both himself and the bookie happy. The arrangement, we were told, is that payment of all such bets is due on the following Monday, | and that the percentage of pay- ment is 100 per cent, period.

The feathers effectively hide last week’s record of 30 cor- rect and eight incorrect choices for an average of .790. Navy over Army: The Cadets are vastly improved over last year. In fact they are much better than the Army team which started the present season. However, Navy’s defensive unit is the best to repre- sent the sailors in recent years— and you can’t lose if you can keep the other team from scoring. This game is your TV tidbit Saturday afternoon. : Notre Dame over Southern Cali- fornia (Saturday): Figuring that the Trojans were at their best last Saturday when they got by UCLA and gained the Rose Bowl assiga- ment. Also, the Irish apparently have cured their fumbling habits.

It is hoped by all the boy will be back on his feet soon and the best Saturday night of luck to him. Cristobal High landed in Key West today for their Friday night | tilt with the Conchs. Accompanying the squad of 32 piayers and coaches were some 29 parents and interest- ed parties. From what notes that have been obtained on the Canal Xone squad it looks as though the Conchs will be in for another good game. Head Coach Luke Palumbo, prior to his coaching duty with his pre- sent team, had some ten years with various high school in Mis- souri.
