North-South Gridders Battle To Draw ‘The game set a rugged standard | The Blue-Gray skirmish, pitting By WILL GRIMSLEY NEW YORK ® — College foot- ball’s holiday week of high hysteria is under way—and seldom has it opened on a more hysterical note. In a wild conflict that saw the tide reversed twice in the final 58 seconds, all-star teams from the North and South fought to a 21-21 tie in the annual Shrine game at Miami last night. With two seconds less than a minute to go, the North shot ahead, 21-14, on a five-yard pass from Purdue’s Dale Samuels to an old battery mate, Bernard Flowers. Just 20 seconds were left when Jack Scarbath, Maryland’s All America T wizard, fired a pass to halfback Jack Hook of Missouri good for 64 yards and the tieing touchdown. Hook had to run the last 20. This provided a fitting finish for an exciting battle which opened with a 95-yard touchdown run by Scarbath. Scarbath and All-Amer- ica line-backer Donn Moomaw shared the game’s: Most Valuable Player Award. A record crowd of 42,866 watched it. Page @ THE KEY WEST CITIZEN gains momentum tomorrow with two of the older all-star attractions —the East-West charity game at San Francisco and the Blue-Gray battle at Montgomery, Ala., plus the Shrimp Bowl game at Galves- ton, Tex. These are followed by eight bowl games next Thursday, Jan. 1, and the senior bowl tilt at Mobile, Ala. At ‘Galveston tomorrow, unde- feated Northeast Oklahoma State defends a nine-game season’s streak against Sam Houston State, which has won five games and lost four. The battle will start at 4:15 p.m., EST, before an anticipated turnout of 9,000. A crowd of 62,000 is expected to pay more than a quarter of a mil- lion dollars to witness the Shrine charity battle at San Francisco, which rivals the Rose Bowl in tradition. The game, with kickoff at 5 p.m., EST, will be broadcast by Mutual and televised by Du- mont, Friday, December 26, 1952 DeSpirito Planes To Havana For Attempt At Jockey Mark MIAMI, Fla. — Plucky Tony DeSpirito was to fly to Miami from Havana today for seven more races in an effort to better the all time record of 388 wins in a year. DeSpirito won three races Christ- mas Day in Havana to tally his 376th and will fly back to the Cu- ban eapital for additional races Sunday, when the Florida track is idle, He needs 12 more wins to equal the record set by Walter Miller in 1906 and equalled by Joe Culmone and Willie Shoemaker in 1950. His 376 wins to date put him ahead of Culmone and Shoemaker who had 373 and 371 at this stage in 1950. “7 still think I have a good chance to break the record,” De- Spirito said at Havana. He will finish his campaign here after Sun- day’s ecard at Oriental Park in the Cuban capital. Despirito returned to the saddle after a 10-day suspension and won after a 10-day suspension and won thrée races at Tropical Park. He can equal the world’s record if he averages only two wins a day on e¢ach of the six days re- maining in the yea The Lawrence, Mass., rider had two seconds and two shows in ad- dition to three wins at Havana ‘Thursday, He was out of the money only once in eight rides for the day.

Mutual will broadcast. Game time is 2:30 p.m. The Northern boys in this fracas were cheered by a weather fore- cast which predicted a hard freeze at Montgomery tonight and nippy, Yankee weather. This would be calculated to disturb the Dixie players. The Blues are depending on a passing attack, with Detroit’s Ted Marchibroda and Indiana’s Lou d’Achille doing the throwing. The Grays are pinning their offensive hopes on William & Mary’s Ed Mioduszewski, Auburn’s Dudley Spence and Texas A&M’s Hal Ledyard. At San Francisco, the Eastern team will be coached by Biggie Munn of Michigan State, who led his Spartans to the recognized national championship this season. Howie Odell of the University of Washington will direct the West- erners, . Munn said his boys will go into the game equipped with 45 differ- ent play patterns from the T, single wing, double wing and spread formations, provoking Odell to comment: “All we have to do is hope and pray our defense holds up.” There were several develop- ments, meanwhile, as the various bowl teams shook off holiday in- activity and moved into rough work for the Jan. 1 games. At Knoxville, it was announced that Gen. Bob Neyland, veteran Tennessee coach, is ailing and may be a spectator at the Cotton Bowl game with Texas in Dallas. Be- cause of his health, Neyland was foreed to turn over the coaching burden to his chief aide, Harvey Robinson. The single touchdown odds favor- ing Georgia Tech over Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans wobbled a bit with the revelation that Tech’s two ace back, Billy Teas and Leon Harde- man, may be out of the battle be- cause of injuries, Outboard Motor Dealer Awarded New Franchise Key West Outboard, 1116 Eaton Street has been awarded a dealer franchise by Evinrude Outboard Motors of Milwaukee, Wisonsin.

In addition, | Plans For Korean War Seem To Aim At Putting Pressure On Communist China While Easing Job Of American Troops By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (®# — Plans of the Eisenhower administration for dealing with the Korean War ap- pear likely to aim at putting new pressures on the Chinese Commu- nists while easing the battle bur- den of American forces. To this end, the belief here is that, as a minimum, president- elect Eisenhower and his secretary of state to be, John Foster Dulles, will promptly call for: 1, A United Nations economic blockade of Red China. 2. Maximum speedup in the training of South Korean forces and their assignment to front line Positions. How far beyond these minimum actions the new President and his advisers may be willing to go re- mains to be seen, because despite his trip to Korea, his unprecedent- ed mid-Pacifie conferences with prospective aides and his meeting with Gen. MacArthur in New York, Eisenhower so far has not tipped his hand. A new factor of uncertain weight was injected into the knotty sit- uation yesterday with publication by the New York Times of a re- ply from Premier Stalin to four questions posed by the Times. Stalin Said Russia is interested in ending the Korean War, and that he would co-operate in any new diplomatic approach toward a truce. However, the question re- mained: How’ much of a price would he pay for peace? A mere public endorsement of peace in Korea is not noticeably different from the past Russian position, which—at least for propa- ganda purposes—has been in favor of a truce. The new statement, however, raised tke question whether Stalin may have been con- vinced by now that the Commu- nists have nothing more to gain in Korea. Some authorities here believe that Eisenhower’s major plans— charted in broad outlines aboard the cruiser Helena—are still fluid and may continue so until, upon taking office, he gets a final look at all the Korean information and gets full authority. At the same time, there are some elements in the situation and some factors in Eisenhower’s and Dulles’ own thinking which clearly point to probable lines of action. Draft Standards Lowered Again WASHINGTON (#—The Defense Deparment today announced a low- ering of physical requirements which will allow another check of 4,000 doctors, dentists and veteri- narians previously rejected for military service. 3 The department said its lowered standards would permit fuller use of doctors who are under Selective Earlier this month the United Nations General Assembly had its Korean peace appeal to the Chi- nese and North Korean regimes thrown back in its teeth: The Reds made clear they would only make peace on their own terms—that is, when and if the U. N. was willing to stop insisting upon vol- untary repatriation of prisoners. The rejection had not been un- expected. Two months ago the Truman administration had consid- ered what to do in such a situation. The conclusion then—a conclusion certain to be laid before Eisen- hower’s people—was that if the U. N. peace bid was spurned by the Reds, the U. N. itself ought to undertake some new action. The State Department feeling was that the minimum would be for the U. S. to take the lead in seeking General Assembly enact- ment of an economic blockade of Red China. Truman officials de- cided not to pursue the mater, largely because of the impending change of administrations. Both the general and Dulles argued during the campaign that U. S. forces, as the “first team” of the free world military, should be disengaged from the Korean fighting as rapidly as possible and that this could be accomplished by expanding the training of South Koreans. Actually, the Truman adminis- tration has had a large-scale pro- gram producing hundreds of new Korean soldiers every week, but Eisenhower has intimated that more may be done. Dulles has argued publicly that to replace American divisions with Koreans would remove two great incentives Russia has for seeing that the Korean War goes on: (1) It would end the commitment of an important segment of American military power, and (2) it would end Moscow’s opportunity to propa- gandize the war as a fight of white men against Asiatics. Many lines of action are open to Eisenhower, if it is assumed he is not to work a miracle and bring a quick peace. What kind of a plan. was laid before him by the former U. S. commander and U. N. chief of Ko- rea, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, has not been disclosed, but the oppor- tunities for action beyond the min- imum lie in these possibilitie: 1, He could order an offensive Service or in the officers reserve, without hurting the quality of med- ical care in the armed services. The announcement also said a saving equal to the services of 4,000 physicians has resulted from reliev- ing military doctors from non-med- ical duties. Deaths among wound- ed getting medical treatment since the Korean War, it added, are run- ning at only half the World War II rate. Gold is almost invariably found in ores which produce silver.

Army presently has 20 divisions of which eight are in the Far East, seven in the U. S. and five in Europe. Seven is considered by military men the least number that the U.

It is understood that military leaders in Korea urged him to launch an offensive aimed at destroying the enemy and with the narrow neck of the peninsula as its probable geographical ob- jective. 2. An offensive up to the Man- churian border of North Korea could be ordered, but apparently military men consider it undesir- able because defense lines at that Point could not be manned as eco- nomically as at the neck. 3.
