Spittin’ Image. Plenty of competition will be given by the other dogs in the race, all of them top speedsters Including Resonator, Wilshire, Honest Buddy, Jack Riboud and Renegade. A top crowd is expected for this race since the cream of the local greyhound crop will be seeking a win in the feature. Max Marmorstein, owner of the plush Casa Marina Hotel will‘ pre- sent the winner in the top race of the evening with a beautiful blanket. Post time for the evenings pro- gram is 8:15 p. m. Some Mix, a 2.00 favorite justi- fied the fan’s confidence in him when he romped home for a win in the feature race last night. But a photo finish was needed to give him the verdict when Bee’s Trou- ble a classy speedster pressed the winner all the way. Reckoning ran third. Some Mix, a two year old own- ed by Ed Wulf paid 6.00, 3.20 and 3.00, Bee’s Trouble returned 4.60 and 3.00 while Reckoning returned 3.60. F. B. Stutz’ Magnate, who is fast making a name for himself, captured an easy win last night in the tenth race of the evening when _ he came in ahead of Tumble Time and Run Mike Run, The Daily Double, Judy Go and Outrageous, paid 32.60 last night while the first race was marked by a hefty 162.20 Quinela. Georgia Cops SEC Win Mon. By MERCER BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer Georgia finally got around . to winning a Southeastern Conference besketball game, and the unexpect- ed victory by,the last-place Bull- dogs gave league-leading Louisiana Siete a boost toward the SEC title. After nine Conference defeats, Geoeg'a unset Florida 61-58 last n'tht and knocked the Gators out © endisputed possession of second place. yled with Tulane’s 70-65 tri- umph over Auburn, the Bulldog form reversal put Florida an dTu- lane into a tie for the runner-up stot with identical 6-3 . records. Florida had held seeond place al- most all season. Florida’s defeat means that LSU now needs to win only one more game to assure the Tigers of a tie for the SEC championship. Two more victories ia their remaining four games will give the Tigers their first undisputed crown since the Conference was organized 20) years ago. In other games last night, Ten- nessee nipped Georgia Tech 82-79, Mississippi overpowered Vander- bilt 79-65, and LSU trimmed Pen- sacola Naval Air Station 71-60. CONGRATULATIONS FOR LOW QUALIFIER.—Phil Rizzuto, left, New York Yankee shortstop, congratulates Matt Batts of the Detroit Tigers on his low score, tied with Alvin Dark of the New York Giants, with 75’s for the qualifying round of the National Baseball Players golf championship in Miami, Fla— (#) Wirephoto, BENCH VIEWS By JACK K. BURKE Two tough ball games in a row proved too much for the Key West High School basketball team this past weekend. Forced into an overtime period hy an error on the scoreboard in Friday night's tilt and then having to meet a tall team from Coral Gables the fol- lowing night was enough to take the starch out of anyone. The fault of the overtime match jhaving to be played can be laid to two men. It’s their job to check \the official score book after each quarter and so far none who have worked the games have even bothered to look at it. Their only way of knowing the score is by looking at the wall scoreboard which is operated from a booth up over the lower part of the floor. Both games were handled nice- ly, except Saturday night’s game had several situations which could have been dangerous except for the quick thinking of the two offi- cials. It’s hard for an official to work a game in the local gym because of its size. They have no room to cover the court properly and also many times they are blinded by the fast breaks of the teams. Could be that someday a larger court will be built. Where? That's a good question. In regards to the article the other evening on the recreation funds for the small children, I learned further from. Win Jones |that the change in funds in now jup to the State Legislators and they have the power to approve or reject the citizens’ proposal. All that can be done is wait and see jhow they will act.

A small -word to the Athletic Direetor of Key West High School. After our. meeting with the Coral Gables coaching staff the other evening, I have found five boys in high school that. have. stated their desire to play a golf match with CG. Hows about putting this sport onthe varsity list and ar- range a schedule for our young golf players? They could play a home and home series with all the high schools ir the Miami area, Let’s all support the others like we do football. Okay? The State Golf tourney is in Sanford on April 16. Paul Albury announced that ‘the "53 Little League would be divided into two separate Jeagues. Four teams make up each league and they will be called the American and National. New sponsors have come forward and made it possible for more boys to enter this sport and also to provide additional re- creation for the oldsters that have grown to old to play. It would be a good idea if more business concerns would agree to back a Junior League team so they could expand and give the boys in that age group the chance {that the younger ones have now. At present there are only three backers for the present American Legion Junior Baseball League and some 65 boys to place on these. It sgoing to be rather hard to do, but Legion rules state that so many can be on each team so therfore many boys will be denied this privilege. Can't we have more sponsors?
