Conch Cagers Face Tough Battle With Towering Coral Gables Five Tonight Solomon Out As The Conchs Start Season The Key West High) School will embark on a very ambitious basketball season | tonight when they tackle the| Coral Gables quintet on the} local hardwood. The battle will get underway at 8:15) p.m. with preliminary game pitting Coach Ray Blais’ Jay- | vees and the Gables B team set for 7 p.m, The Conchs’ chief problem will be overcoming a huge edge the Gables five will have on them in height. Their club boasts of an aver- age of six feet three inches. They are co-favorites, along) with Miami High (whom the Conchs face next Tuesday evening) to walk off with this year’s title. Coach Ed Stokel commented Fri- day that “it’s pretty early in the season to figure just what will happen — but I hope it’s not an- other close squeak one like the Coneks gave us last year. Key West has probably set some kind of a record for the state, even before the start of the sea- son — their entire forward wall is} made up of football linemen. Coach Win Jones said hell start with forwards Glynn Arch- er and Julio Henriquez, center Legun and RK. ‘Archer. has been hitting the bas- ket in drill sessions and is being counted on to lead the Conch scor- ing parade. Ralph White and Car- bonell have shewn some good work under the basket. Others certain to see action are: forward Gibby Gates and guards) Biff Salgado and Gene Favors. ‘The latter is a sophomore who has) been battling for a starting post. Guard Jim Solomon will not see action tomorrow night because of an ankle injury incurred during the football season. Coach Ed Stokel will field a club which will-tower better than three faches per man over the Conchs. He'll start Bob Steiner (6’ 5’’) and Dave Anderson (6 4”) at the forwards. Ronnie Mayuiers, a six foot midget will handle the center assignment with Warren Quillian (6° 2”) and Fred McClintock (6’ 3”) at the guards. Herb Gonzalez will also see a lot of action at a guard post. Both clubs are studded with let- termen. Tropical Park Betting Is Off MIAMI (®—Wagering at Tropicai Park during its first 12 days of operation is off more than a million dollars and horse racing authori- ties are revising their figures on the season’s outlook. Attendance also has shown a decline of 13,581 from the 108,852 for the first 12 days last season to 95,271 for the corresponding period this year, Betting for the first 12 days of the 1952 season totaled $7,549,180 but for the same period this season it reached only $6,456,623. An air taxi service by helicopter from Miami Beach to the track some 10 miles away was started yesterday but even that didn’t help. Attendance for the day was off 800! compared with the same date a “year ago, Track officials had predicted this season would show a gain of five) per cent in attendance and wager- ing but that seems impossible now unless crowds show an unprece- dented gain during the remaining) 31 days of the 43-day meeting. To meet the decline, minimum purses have been reduced to $2,000 from $2,200 and stakes and purse! . Money cut $42,500. Some authorities attribute the decline to unusually mild weather in the North while others claim there is a general “tightening” of money, GREAT ENTHUSIASM PHILADELPHIA w—J.

The match will be divided inte three parts according to D. Forsythe, instructor. The first phase of the match will be “Florida Police Course” with the competitors firing 30 shots any kind of 38 caliber revolver and is designed to show the vidual’s ability at precise grouping at close range wth the va time limits imposed. This course has been used in Florida for more than 20 years with great success, Forsythe said. On December 17, the second phase of the meet—the “Practica! Police Course,” is set. This course is derived from the FBI qualifi- cation course and is designed to show the individual’s abilty to han- H. the with indi- rious dle his weapon in close quarters and under the simulated stress of | combat in sapid fire. The regular work gun and. so-called “harness” the officer wears on duty should be used. On December 18, the final phase of the competition is scheduled. This will consist of the “Camp Perry Course” and is designed to de- monstrate the ability of each officer to control each shot he fires at medium range and is used to familiarize’ the individual with the small area he must hit in hs apprehenson of escaping cars, Tempers And Scores Soar In Miami Open Golf Tournament ‘Tennis Captain (Cuts Down On Team Practice 4 BRISBANE, Australia, —Bill| |Talbert, captain of the Uaited |States Davis Cup team, has cut! down on the boys’ practice, say- ing, “I want to keep them hungry.” Wimbledon champion Vic Seixas,) his injured knee almost fully| healed, skipped yesterday’s prac-} tice altogether on the advice of) Talbert.

Spectators could think of no other reason for these strange happen- ings during yesterday’s second round: Runs 4:02 Race Friday By KEN MOSES MELBOURNE (—Almost aj 1. Julius Boros, 1952 Na- © b/ Like 52 Rules GAINESVILLE —Almost to a man, the University of Florida football squad liked 1952’s free sub- stitution rules better than 1953's version which prevented them from being offensive or defensive spec- ialists. In a_ poll which Coach Bob/ Woodruff said was taken at the request of the Coaches’ Football international fame, slender John Landy today ran the third fastest winning mile in history, a 4:02 effort at Olympic Park. Landy’s time—a new Australian record—is exceeded only by the world record of 4:01.4 set by Sweden's Gunder Haegg in 1945 and by the 4:01.6 of Sweden’s Arne Andersson in 1944 for a then world mark. (These times compare to the|” fastest mile ever run by an Amer- ican, Wes Santee’s 4:02.4 at the Compton (Calif.) Relays last June. Roger Bannister of England ran a 4:02 mile earlier this year, but the time was not recognized be- cause it was a paced mile.) In contrast to a week ago when he ran a 4:09.8 mile, Landy ben- efitted by a swift 1:58.2 first quar- ter by John Marks, former Aussie mile champion. At the half mile, however, timed in 1:58.6, Landy was in front-by 20 yards. He steadily increased his mar- gin during the last half mile, winning by 200 yards. He finished running into a headwind of 6.1 feet per second, The quarter times were an- nounced as 58.2, 60.4, 61.6 and 61.8, Australian Prime Minister Rob- ert G. Menzies, who witnessed the run, exclaimed, “It was colossal! Give him someone to go with him and he will win the four-minute mile for Australia.” The 23-year-old medical student} seemed disappointed at his effort. “I knew all week I was going for a fast run, but I did not tell anyone,”* he said, “I needed the initiative at the 200-yard mark, but could not do it. “Well, I did all I could and could not do any better. This re jeord-breaking bxusiness is hard work, You can’t do it unless you have everything in your favor. |I was going well at the three- quarter mark, but was surprised I did not run the last lap faster. I am physically exhausted.” “To run a four-minute mile,” he said, “you have to have con- fidence you can break the four- minute mile before you start. I think the American Wes Santee jmay do it. He has more qace and confidence than I.” Landy said his effort today may’ hurt his run next Saturday, Dec. 19, which already has been billed in Australia as Landy’s attempt to break Haegg’s world mark, ‘SEC Passes Rule On Scholarships LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Rules Committee, Florida players tional Open winner, quit in dis-ltavored 1952 rules 73 to 2. gust after taking 109, four over par, for the first 27 holes over the flat and normally easy Miami Springs municipal course. 2.

The action followed a report by Commissioner Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson that MSC had satisfactorily met all terms of the probation. It was Wilson who last February put the Spartans on their good be- havior because of the activities of ithe Spartan Foundation, Inc. This off-the-campus booster group al- legedly helped recruit and aid MSC athletes. At the time, Wilson decreed the Probation for a year but said it might be lifted by Big Ten chiefs any time the Spartans proved they had their athletic house in order. 4.
