By ORLO ROBERTSON NEW YORK @#—If the Oklahoma Aggies and North Carolina State don’t own Oklahoma City’s All- _ College Tournament and the Dixie Classic, they at least have a first mortgage on the two holiday bas- ketball festivals. The Aggies won the Oklahoma City competition last night for the 10th time in 17 years and the Wolf- Pack of North Carolina State wrapped up the Dixie crown for the fourth consecutive year. the Okla- homa Cowpokes whipped Idaho ,61-49 with a blistering second half drive and the Wolfpack came from behind in the final half to ‘down Brigham Young, 75-59, at Raleigh, N.C.

Named to start with Lear against Tech was a trio of fine backs—Hal Lofton, Wilson Dillard and Dick Westerman.

(@—Police reported 100 traffic accidents in the greater Miami area during a “rough” New Year's Eve, one causing the death of Mrs. Gertrude Miller, 40, of Colombia, South America, The car in which Mrs. Miller was a passenger collided in Coco- nut Grove with another and the woman was thrown out.

LaMotta regained his feet and Nardico was on him like a tiger. He drove Jake to a corner and ham- mered him furiously, Jake stag- gered to his corner at the bell. A boxing commission doctor ex- amined LaMotta and the Bronx battler’s seconds yelled to referee Billy Regan: “that’s all.” Regan and judges Mark Erwin and Jerry Sherrard all had Nardico leading by 69-62 when the fight ended. The fight, held in the Coral Gables Coliseum, drew only 3,318 “live” fans and a gross gate of $14,378. It was the first fight tele- vised out of Florida and went out on a national network (CBS). Nardico, a 25-year-old who began his ring career about the time La- Motta was lifting the middleweight crown from the brow of Marcel Cerdan of France in 1949, weighed 177 while LaMotta tipped the beam at 173. LaMotta iost the middleweight title to Sugar Ray Robinson in 1951 and was ranked ninth among light heavyweight contenders. Nardico was ranked fifth. LaMotta blamed his defeat on his long layoff from the ring. It was his first fight since he whipped Irish Bob Murphy six months ago. Nardico said he felt the fight was his all the way. T.aMotta’s reflexes seemed slow after his long layoff and Nardico consistently landed a left to ‘his face, then cut through with hard rights that found the mark.

LOUIS W—A Russian weak | Orange Bowl game. Syracuse, winner of the Lambert trophy symbolizing the Eastern gridiron championship, will be a }13-point underdog when the teams clash at 2 p. m. (EST in a game to be seen by 65,000 “live” fans and millions more on a national tele- vision network (CBS). The Orange Bowl’s record for perfect weather appeared in no danger. The forecast called for bright sunshine and a balmy, 70- ce temperature at kickoff ime. Alabama, with a deadly running attack that moves from the split-T formation and sometimes shifts into the old Notre Dame box when the Tide is in scoring territory, compiled a record of nine victories and two defeats this season. A slow-starting team, the Tide built up to a peak when it overran Maryland late in the season, 27-7. On that day, Coach Red Drew said the team was “as great as any in Alabama's history.” Syracuse, equally effective by ground and air, won seven and lost two, racing through all its Eastern college opposition. It will be the 11th bowl game for Alabama, which has a record of Tropical Park Post Time Is Moved Up MIAMI (#—Early risers didn’t have to wait long to see the races at Tropical Park today—post time was 10 a. m. to avoid conflict with the Orange Bowl football game four hours later. Duntreath Farm was out to make a strong bid to take the $10,000 added New Year’s Handicap with the double entry of Starecase and Color Guard. The race was for three year olds and upward at six furlongs and attracted a field of nine’ speedsters. World’s champion jockey Tony DeSpirito has mounts in seven of the nine races scheduled but was not engaged to ride in the feature event. DeSpirito had 390 winners last year and began the new year with another ambition—to be the lead- ing rider at Tropical Park’s cur- rent meeting. - He broke the reeord. when he booted home his 389th winner Tues- ny and added another Wednes- lay. Safety Record Set By Airlines... In Past Year WASHINGTON (#—The nation’s airlines set a new safety record than ever before, the Air Trans- port Association says. The association’s director of re- search, Dr. Lewis C. Sorrell, gave these figures yesterday in a year- end summary: The airline industry carried more than 27 million passengers 9.7 per cent more than in 1951. The passenger fatality rate for domestic operations went down from 1.3 to 0.38 passengers per 100 million passenger miles. The volume of revenue traffic was 166 billion passenger miles, up 17.3 per cent. The Civil Aeronautics Board said the previous safety record for U. S. scheduled domestic car- |Tiers was 1.1 deaths per 100 mil- jlion passenger miles in 1950.

Syracuse, playing its first major Post-season contest, will be hungry for an upset. Spearheading the Alabama run- ners will be halfback Bobby Mar- low, who set new Alabama ground- gaining records and topped all Southeastern Conference backs in rushing as he picked up 950 yards during the season. So effective was this overland attack, Drew used his aerial arm sparingly, although he has a good passer in quarterback Clell Hobson. Syracuse depended almost equal- ly on a ground game powered by Bill Wetzel and Bob Leberman and the passing of Pat Stark, wao threw for 11 touchdowns, including four in the rain in the final game with Fordham. The Easterners use an unbal- anced winged-T formation, plus a deep formation bordering on the double wing. Sometimes Stark, the quarterback, spins and goes into motion before the ball is snapped in a maneuver which has been known to lure the enemy offsides. “This will be a tough game,” said Drew as he worked. overtime to keep down over optimism in his squads “My boys will do their best--with what they have,’ commented Syra- cuse Coach Ben Schwartzwalder. “We just hope to be able to keep the ball, so their running attack won't have a chance to eat us up.” Bobby Riggs Gains Net Championship JACKSONVILLE BEACH — Bobby Riggs won the final match in the Gator Bowl Professional Tennis Tournament Wednesday from Jack Rodgers, St. Petersburg but it wasn’t easy all the way. The court tactician from New York claimed the first set, 7-5, ran into trouble and dropped the second to the tall Tennessean, 9-11, but emerged with a 6-2 count in the third. Riggs made his way to the finals by defeating Jerry Evert, Cleve- land, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, in a semi-final match carried over from Tuesday.

Vike hat a eg {bringing against Tenne Cuba Sports Head To Plane Here Sun, The Director General of Sports of Cuba will come to Key West on Sunday in an ef- fort to straighten out a misun- derstanding which has resulted in the delay of a baseball se- ries between the Cuban Juv- enile Champions and a picked team of Key West teenagers, Eduardo Valdez Hernandez, manager of the visiting team said today. Hernandez said that Dr. Luis Ortega will plane here to dis- cuss the situation which arose when the yy Westers were said to have violated an agree- ment made earlier with City Recreation Director Paul Al- bury by using over-age play- ers. Fourteen years was set as the age limit, according to the agreement. The Cuban team, which has spent $1600 on making the trip, will remain here yntil Sunday and an effort will be made to resume the series, Hernandez, who is the Sports Editor of the Havana newspaper Informa- cion, said. On Tuesday night, an exhibi- tion game was played after Key West had captured the first game of the series, 5-4 on Monday night. The Cubans came back to gain a 3-1 win Tuesday behind the hurling of Alberto Gonza- lez. Manvel Salas hit a three bagger and Alberto Gonzalez a double for the winners off the slants of Key West hurler, Lee- burg Knowles. The Jose Marti Trophy was at stake in the series which was to have been an annual affair.

Unrestricted for the occasion, television picture tubes for the first time beamed all four of the major attractions into the nation’s parlors, starting at 2 p.m. (EST). It’s expected to produce the larg- est football viewing audience ever. It should be a whale of a show, too. Six of the country’s top 10 teams are in action and nine all-America players spread their talent through the competing rosters. Odds indi- cate a series of close contests, with one touchdown deciding the issue in most cases. Alabama, a hardened bowl vet- eran, is the only top heavy favorite, a 13% point choice cver debutting Syracuse, pride of the East, in the Orange Bowl at Miami. Elsewhere, Southern California is a seven-point choice to break the Big Ten’s six-year winning streak in its Rse Bowl battle with Wis- consin at Pasadena. Georgia Tech, winner of 11 straight games this year, is conceded a similar edge over Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl while Texas is 12 over Tennessee at Dallas. Here’s the major bowl lineup, with radio and TV commitments: Rose Bowl, Pasadena—Southern California (9-1) vs. Wisconsin (6- 2-1), 5 pm. EST. NBC radio and TV. Sugar Bowl, New Orleans—Geor- gia Tech (11-0) vs. Mississippi (80-2), 2 p.m. ABC radio and TV. Cotton Bowl, Dallas—Tennessee (8-1-1) vs. Texas (8-2), 2 p.m. NBC radio and TV. Orange Bowl, Miami—Alabama (9-2) vs. Syracuse (7-2), 2 p.m. CBS radio and TV. There are four other bowl con- flicts, including a battle between Tulsa and Florida in the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville, expected to draw 37,000. The Salad Bowl at Phoenix has two service elevens, San Diego Navy and 101st Airborne Division; the Sun Bowl at El Paso, Tex., pits Mississippi Southern and College of the Pacific. The Tangerine Bow! at Orlando, Fla., matches East Texas State and Tennessee Tech. In all, an estimated 406,000 was expected to pay $1,800,000 for to- day’s entertainment. The teams collect additional thousands from TV and radio receipts. Injury lists, which plagued many of the teams in practice, have dwindled and most of the compet- itors will be at full strength. Good weather is expected everywhere except New Orleans, where rain threatened.

Game time was set for 2 p. m. (5 p. m. EST) and while good weather was forecast for the ex- pected 100,000 fans, the turf prom: ised to be on the soggy: side, if not slippery in places, from raim two days ago. This, the 39th game in the oldest bowl game of all, will be seen and heard around the ‘nation over the National Broadcasting Company’s television and radio networks. It goes on at 1:45 p. m. (4:45 p, m, EST), with Mel Allen and Tommy Harmon doing the TV show. Southern California, with its vaunted defensive platoon and a regular season record of nine vice tories and one defeat, remained a slim favorite. Wisconsin, co-champions of the Big Ten with Purdue, had a record of six victories, two defeats and one tie, but boasted a more im- pressive and versatile offense.
