EES DOUBLE DRILLS FOR FLA. SQUAD GAINESVILLE @® — Florida’s football team completes its home- work for the Gator Bowl game in double drills today. Final preparations for the Jan. 1 game with Tulsa will be made closer to. the Jacksonville game site. The Florida squad will go Monday to Ponte Vedra Beach, oceanfront resort 25 miles south- east of Jacksonville. Monday and Tuesday workouts will bs held at Jacksonville Beach. Wednesday the squad will limber up in the Gator Bowl Stadium. The 62 man squad resumed prac- tice here Friday after a three-day Christmas holiday. The accent was on offensive tac- ties as big Rick Casares, Papa Hall and Buford Long provided most of the ground attack. A pass- ing display was staged by Fred Robinson, young St. Petersburg sophomore who stepped into Doug Dickey’s position at quarterback. Dickey pulled a leg muscle last Saturday. He was able to walk slowly Friday and appeared brief- ly on the sidelines to throw a few Passes to a student manager. The defense playfully mauled a “B” running attack, the main of- fenders being All American Tackle Charlie LaPradd and Guard Art Wright.

By JACK HAND NEW YORK #—Vince Martinez, darling of the Paterson, N. J., bobby sox fans, has taken another giant step toward Rookie of the Year honors. Now he’s aiming toward Chuck Davey. Although young Vinnie may not be a rookie in a strict interpreta- tion of the rule, he was just another obscure welter until he hit the headlines in 1952. Ater a six-month layoff because of bad hands following an exciting knockout over Sammy Giuliani last June, Martinez picked up where he left off by scoring a technical win over Don Williams last night at Madison Square Garden. The end came at 1:35 of the ninth round when Referee Ruby Gold- stein decided the Worcester, Mass., veteran of 71 pro fights had en- ough. Martinez never was able to knock Williams off his feet but his fast hands handed stiff punish- ment, rocking his man several times and opening a cut over his right eye. Referee Goldstein and Judge Art Aidala had it 8-0 after eight and Judge Amerigo Schiavone saw it 5-3. The AP card was 7-1. “We're going to keep him busy now,” said Tex Pelte, Martinez’s manager. “We're aiming for a shot at. Chuck Davey. Right now we haven't any definite opponent in mind for the next two or three fights, but eventually we want to get Davey.” It will be “eventually” because Davey is supposed to get a welter title shot at Kid Gavilan before the winter is over. Martinez will have to wait in line. “I was pacing myself,” said Martinez “After all, I fought in six months. I got a little tired a couple of times, but I paced myself. I didn’t want to run out of vet- | gas.” from the stands tt Coach Harvey Rob- inson will be in charge of the Vols as they seek a second victory in the Cotton Bowl. Robinson has been picked by Neyland as his successor when he steps out of coaching, ex- to be soon. Texas has been established as a and may not even see " favorite to win the game. iKansas State Win Seen In Tourney KANSAS CITY (#—Kansas State and Colorado are favored to wind up the first round of the Big Seven Conference's seventh pre-season basketball tournament in winners’ roles tonight. The K-State Wildcats, pre-meet and conference championship fa- vorites, will take on the Oklahoma Sooners at 9 p. m. The Colorado Buffaloes will meet guest Yale University at 10:45 o'clock.

DIAL 26341 sth 3 Wet Weather Is JOCKEY'S HOPE FOR MARK FADE Seen At Shrine Clash Today SAN FRANCISCO (# — Slippery footing and damp skies were in prospect today.as Eastern gridiron stars pitted a razzle-dazzle of plays and formations against the power- packed West in the 28th renewal of the annual Shrine Game at Kezar Stadium. Despite the weather, the sta- dium’s nearly 60,000 seats have been sold out. The game will be nationally televised over the Du- mont Network and broadcast by Mutual, starting at 1:45 p.m., Pacific Standard Time (4:45 p.m., EST). A rainstorm swept over the San Francisco area last night and occa- sional rains were forecast today. Michigan Sate’s Coach Clarence (Biggie) Munn, who led his Spar- tans to No. 1 ranking in the nation this season, has drilled his East quad with 45 plays to be run off the T-formation, the single and double wings and making use of spreads. University of Washington’s Howie Odell has restricted to a little or a dozen the plays to be run off the T-formation by such collegiate stars as Oklahoma’s fleet Billy Vessels and California’s crunching fullback Johnny Olszewski. The West remained a slight fav- orite. Each head mentor has a spark- plug from his own team in the backfield. Don McAuliffe was on hand to help Munn extend a win- dn’t | 90-1 ning streak unbroken at 24 straight. Odell has pitching Paul Heinrich ready for quarterback duties. But he indicated he would start another brilliant signal caller, Oklahoma’s Eddie Crowder, a teammate of Vessels on the Sooners’ Big Seven champions. Gridders Drill For Orange Bowl MIAMI, Fla., @—Both Orange Bowl football teams, Alabama and Syracuse, were here today, labor- ing under a warm sun to get in shape for their New Year’s day battle. A 48man Alabama squad ar- rived by plane Friday. The Syra- cuse Eastern champions have been here since Monday. From the. airport, Alabama Coach Red Drew hustled his team to the University of Miami practice field for a fast workout. Syracuse concentrated on kick- ing phases of the game in a light ute workout Friday. Ted Williams To Make Comeback MIAMI, Fla., #—Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox slugger now doing a second hitch in the Marine air force, hopes to resume his base- ball career when he gets out of the service next September. “If I feel right when I get out, I'll be back in baseball,” Williams said Friday as he stopped over in Miami on his way to California and, hé believes, on to Korea. “T'd like to play some more.” “But I'm getting near the age where major league players begin to go downhill,” added Williams, the highest-paid baseball player in history. The 34-year-old outfielder had to give up a Boston job paying a reported $125,000 a year when he was called back into the Marines last spring. He served as a flight instructor in World War II. While here, Williams made an investment in a fishing equipment MIAMI, Fla., — Little Tony DeSpirito’s hopes of breaking the world’s jockey record of 388 win- ners in a ‘year were fading fast today after the shutout he suf- fered in eight tries Friday at Trop- ical Park. The nervy, 18-year-old Lawrence, Mass., rider now needs 13 winners to erase the record set way back in 1906 by Walter Miller and tied in 1950 by Joe Culmone and Willie Shoemaker, and he has just five days to get them. It seemed ap almost impossible uphill battle “for DeSpirito, who hasn’t been getting the best mounts at Tropical and has faced fierce competition from many other erack jockeys riding at the Miami track. He'll ride at Tropical today, fly to Havana Sunday to compete at Oriental Park, then complete his year at Tropical Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. _The best DeSpirito could do with eight mounts at Tropical Friday COUNTY OFFICIALS (Continued trom Page One) and the results will be presented to a Coroner’s jury at an inquest to be scheduled after January 1st. Following the fatal incident, Pruitt surrendered to a Sheriff's Deputy and was lodged in the Mon- roe County Jail. MIGUEL MARISCAL, (Continued from Page One) three years with Mrs. Emeline Bodler. Miguel was also heard by John Seeger, head of the music de- partment of the. Pan American union, and several other impor- tant figures in the capital’s. music world. They were all impressed by the brilliance of his playing, and he will be invited to play a con- cert in the famous Hall of the Flags of the Pan American union when he is a little older. The day of his first audition, the slim, curly-haired boy sat at the big piano in the famous tall win- dowed, marble hall and played for these few men who were to judge his talents. His mother, Mrs. Mi- guel Mariscal, Sr., who has ac- companied him to Washington, was also there, as well as several newspapermen and women. His small audience was delighted, and so was a gray pigeon who flew in- to the big room and roosted in a niche until the music had ceased. Miguel and his mother were very busy during their stay here. They were entertained by Mrs. Edwin Snell, correspondent for several North Carolina newspa- pers, and The Citizen’s book edi- tor, Miss Angele de T. Gingras. They attended several concerts by the National Symphony at Consti- tution Hall, and at the Pan Amer- ican union. They: also had a round of sight- seeing which included everything from a glimpse of the tion’s capital from the top of the Wash- ington monument to the inside of the newly decorated White House. Asked what she liked best on the trip, Mrs. Mariscal said it was the gray squirrels in Lafayette Park. And the only thing about the whole trip which disappointed Miguel was the weatherman pro- ducing no snow during his stay. He wanted to write a composition about the snow falling on the city park. If he does it now, it will have to be his imagination playing with store-window snow, .and snow sprinkled from boxes on the Christmas tree. firm (Southern Tackle Distribu- tors) and became a vice president.

His riding record made the slen- der, black-haired youth’s mounts the favorites in most of his races with the crowd of 11,773, but it was not DeSpirito’s day. This dismal showing contrasted sharply with his Christmas day in Havana, when he booted home three winners, and with his per formance at Tropical Park on Christmas eve—his 18th birthday— when he also registered a triple. DeSpirito got back in the saddle on Christmas eve after serving a tenday suspension for a riding foul—a break that virtually killed his chances for a new record.

Barker, Sr. according to Duane “suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it in my direction.” Duane tried to grab the gun, gripped the barrel in the scuffle, he oe the gun, a .38 revolver, went Duane says he doesn’t know whether he pulled the trigger “or how the gun went off.” Duane informed the Dade coun- ty deputies: “I just shot my dad” as they walked in the house on the call of Mrs. Barker. The shooting of the father climaxed months of ill feeling in the family which resulted in a divorce of Duane from his wife of six years standing. Duane admits to beating his father on July 8, when he says his father pulled a gun on him at Duane’s residence on Ludlum road, Miami. Barker was hospitalized at that time, but told The Citizen it was for his arthritus. Duane, according to his ex-wife’s divorce petition, drew a gun on her and one of her three children that night. Duane had been on the Miami police force until his resignation last October, the same month his father resigned as Monroe county deputy sheriff. z The coroner’s inquest in Home- stead will determine what happens to Duane who is now in Dade county jail for investigation.

Gard is also the chairman aad organizer of the National Blood Bank Committee of the Hotel Greetters Association. He was the originator of such a program in Miami Beach and at the Nation- al Convention of the Association in Mexico City, he organized the National Program. Already there are 15 national blood banks as the result of his efforts and some 8,000 hotel employees, all over the nation, have free blood insurance. In one case, a hotel employee was given 16 pints of blood at no cost as a result of the program. Gard was the recipient of an award of merit from the Hotel Greeters Association for his dis- tinguished service in hotel pro- motion at the national convention in 1952 in Denver, Colerado. Gard hailed the scheduled open- ing of.the Key West Kennel Club Dog Track which has been set for February 1st, as the biggest boost Key West’s tourist industry could have received when he said that “it will bring thousands of people into Key West.” It will be ins- trumental in keeping winter visi- tors here for a longer period as well, he added. Gard has named James 8.
