Marine, Navy Gridders To Arrive Today Arrangements are virtually com- plete for the gala football classic which will pit the Pensacola Naval Air Station Goshawks against the Miami Marine Air Station eleven here tomorrow night at the Wick- ers Field Stadium. The rival ciubs arrived in Key West this afternoon, the Marines by bus and the Navy by plane from Pensacola. They were met by a police department motorcycle escort at Boca Chica. The largest crowd ever to wit- mess a sporting event in Key West is expected at the clash which will get underway at 8:0C p. m. with a pre-game entertainment program.

At game time these two groups will team with the U. S. Marine Band to offer the National anthem. Preceding the game, Miss Jean Navarro, representing the Navy and Miss Barbara Pritchard, the Marine queen will march to the center of the field with the res- pective team captains to get the action underway. In addition to the pre-game and halftime ceremonies, the Key West football fans will be treated to a lot of good football when the two service clubs trade blows on the gridiron.

The Marines are slated to lead the traditional and nationally famed Orang jowl parade in Miami on New Years Eve. The Marine drill squad from the Key West Naval Base, the “Pre- sident’s Own,” will perform for the spectators at the half time. They have worked up some snappy new routines. Admiral Irving T. Duke, and Rear Admiral J. P. Whitney, of Pensacola will participate in the pre-game ceremonies along with Brigadier General A. D. Cooley, commanding officer of the Third Marine Air Wing. Tonight a gala parade of the musical units, including the Marine Band, will move down Duval St. from Truman Avenue to Eaton Street at 8 p.m. Detroit, Browns Make Player Deal PHOENIX, Ariz. — In the fourth major Detroit-St. Louis deal | in a year, the Tigers today traded | pitchers Virgil Trucks and Hal White and center fielder Johnny ; Groth to the Browns for left fielder Bob Nieman, second baseman Owen Friend and catcher-outfield- er. J. W. Porter. The swap, involving some $250,- 000 in player talent, did not in- clude any cash according to Rudy Schaffer, Browns general manager. Trucks, a 33-year-old righthand- er, pitched two no-hitters in 1952— against Washington in May and the New York Yankees in August— but wound up with a 5-19 record. Groth, 26, a Detroit regular since | 1949, hit 284 in 141 games and | White, a 33-year-old relief pitcher, | had a 1-8 record in 41 games. The most important St. Louis player involved was Nieman, 25, a rookie sensation with a .289 bat- ting average, 18 homers and 74 runs batted in. The right-handed hitter hit two straight homers against Boston in his major league debut, Sept. 14, 1951. Porter, used both as a catcher and outfielder, received a $65,000 bonus from the Chicago White Sox as a free agent when he entered pro ball. Last season the 19-year- old prospect hit .250 for the Browns after spending most of the season lat Memphis and Colorado Springs, | two White Sox farms. The Tigers will have to wait a week or so for Friend, 25, to be discharged from military service. regular sec- ond baseman in 1950, hitting .237 in 119 games. At first glance, it appeared that the Browns had the best of the latest trade, acquiring a starting pitcher in Trucks and a regular center fielder in Groth for one proven big leaguer—Nieman. How- ever, the Tigers were reported hot after Porter, who has promise of becoming a future star. ‘New Champions ‘Are Named By Racing Group NEW YORK (®—The Charfran Stable’s Crafty Admiral, Alfred G. |Ogden Phipps’ Vanderbilt’s Next Move, and Mrs. Oedipus were named today to complete the list of 1952 divisional champions select- ed by the Thoroughbred Racing | Associations.

The annual Associated Press sur- vey showed an over-all naticn-wide drop of 1.49 per cent with the big- gest decreases on the Pacific Coast ern independents. The actual crowd per game was smaller by only 378 customers—a figure subject to revision since some colleges furnished only round number estimates of their turn- stile count. Only major conference members outside of the East counted. The Southern, Southeastern, Big Seven and the Missouri Valley Con- ferences enjoyed flush seasons. The per game average in the Southeastern and Southern Confer- ences increased about 10.5 per cent. The 1952 average was 27,222 a game in the Southeastern and | 16,092 in the Southern. Paced by fourth-ranked Okla- homa, the Big Seven drew an aver- age of 25,741 for an increase of 6.88 per cent. The sprawling Mis- souri Valley Conference, led by the drawing power of Houston and Tulsa, had an average increase of 8.64 per cent. In contrast the attendance was the largest crowds of the season were recorded. In the East, attendance as a though the Ivy League lost only 5.67 per cent. Pennsylvania topped | the list in the East, as usual, with an estimated 372,000 fans for seven |games. The Quakers were out-| drawn only by Ohio State andj Michigan in the Big Ten. Ohio State was the nation’s No. 1 gate attraction with a turn out of 453,911 for six home games. Mich- igan attracted 396,538 for the same number of contests at Ann Arbor. But Big Ten attendance as a whole was down 3.22 per cent. New Boxer Looks Like Joe Louis DETROIT — Coley Wallace \looks like Joe Louis. And he ends |his fights in Joe Louis style. But | in between the start and the finish Coley doesn’t always fight in the Louis pattern. For instance, last night the 199- pound Wallace dropped 177-pound Bob Dunlap for a count of eight in the first round and stopped him at 46 seconds of the sixth round with a flashing right to the head. But in between, Waliace was never as hungry, never as stalking as the great heavyweight champion of former years. In fact, the blood - splattered Dunlap jarred Wallace with con- stant lefts to the body and head in the second round of their national- ly-televised fight. And he fought Wallace on even terms through the third, fourth; and fifth rounds. Then came the sudden end. The status of 24-year-old Wallace | in the heavyweight ranks lifted a} | little by the victory. Wallace has | now knocked out 14 of his 19 op-| | ponents. However, he has been stopped |twice himself, most recently by | Jiramy Bivins. Umpire’s Wife Says iNo Dull Moments and among the unorganized East- |i Kentucky Will Meet Cones Sat. GAINESVILLE, Fla. @ — A classy football battle is in Prospect here Saturday between two of the “new-rich” of the Conference-Kentucky and Florida. The prospects some of the top conference coaches here for the game. Bob Neyland of Tennessee, Bobby Dodd of Geor- gia Tech, and Wally Butts of Geor- gia have made reservations. and Kentucky tied Tennessee. What the customers expect to see is quite a struggle betw Kentucky team that has won and tied one after a shaky and a Florida team headed for first bowl game. Then there’s the comparison be- tween two great natural all-around athletes. One is Steve Meilinger of Kentucky, All-Southeastern Con- ference offensive end who also other is Rick Casares, Florida full-| back who also played quarterback, and who kicks off, kicks conver- sions and field goals, purits, passes and runs. He was named to the second All-See offensive team. Two All - Conference and All - South defensive linemen -- Tackle Charlie LaPradd and Guard Joe D’Agostino-are the heroes of the Florida Wall. Gator fans regard them just about as highly as they do the great running backfield of Casares, Buford Long, and Papa Hall. Both teams had an off week last Saturday when most others were winding up their schedules. That put both of the squads in top physical condition. Florida will be missing only Jack Nichols, safety man, whose shoulder injury may keep him out of any heavy going. Only in the past few years have Kentucky and Florida become any- thing but Southeastern Conference doormats. Coach Paul (Bear) Bry- ant has pulled his Kentucky team up into the top bracket since World War II and Bob Woodruff is now doing the same for Florida, Tampa Coach Is A Happy Man Now TAMPA (#—For someone who's facing his most important game of the year, Tampa coach Marce- lino Huerta is the happiest person you ever saw. Huerta, who most of the season chaffed about the way his players looked in workouts, now comes right out and says the Tampans look pretty good. Tampa plays Florida State Sat- urday and is hoping for a repeat performance of its 14-6 win over FSU last year. Tampa coaches say FSU is not nearly as bad as its record of only one win this season looks. More scrimmage is on the work- out routine today. The team tapers off Thursday.
