Four SEC Battles Scheduled For Weekend Larson Always A Threat Four football games matching Southeastern Conference opponents and four non-SEC battles get all of the Big 12 teams into action Saturday and Saturday night. All four of the strictly SEC Scraps shape up as close, exciting contests. Alabama and Louisiana State University, both opening game losers, clash at night in Baton Rogue. Mississippi State and Ten- messee tangle in the first half of a day - night doubleheader in Mem- phis, where Mississippi and Ken- tucky bang heads under the lights. Florida plays Georgia Tech in At- | lanta to Clemson, Auburn is at home to Chattanooga, Vanderbilt meets Baylor in a night game in| Nashville and Tulane entertains | Memphis State. Except for Auburn, all the cham- Pionship contenders will play. SEC members and the rest should throw a little light on the title race, Auburn, Tennessee and Vandy will be in action for the first time | this season; the others opened last | week, Ole Miss., Tech, Auburn, Ala-} bama and Tulane are favorites. The Georgia- Clemson and Tenni see-Mississioppi State games are| Tated tossups. LSU, Vandy, Ken-| tucky and Florida take the field as underdogs. Out - on - the - limb depart- ment: Kentucky over Mississippi: Ole Miss has more horsepower — it runs about three teams deep — but any team that can look as good against Maryland as Ken- tucky did is dangerous. Alabama over LSU: A_ shaky vote for ‘Bama, mostly on reserve | strength. Ailing Tide quarterback Bart Starr probably holds the an- swer. If he is in shape to stick in the game, his passing and play- calling should see ‘Bama throug. Tennessee over Mississpi State: Jimmy Wade and Pat Olesksiak head a talented collection of Vols who have been working all month to be ready to avenge last year’s 26 - 0 upset defeat by State. Georgia Tech over Florida: The Gators won't have a hurricane to help stop Tech’s runners this year. The Yellow Jackets have an edge in experience and personnel. | Auburn over Chattanooga: The | Mocs are outclassed by the X and Y Plainsmen. A fine stable of run- ners, big linemen and the passing | combo of Bobby Freeman - to -| Jim Pyburn make Auburn awe- some. Clemson over Georgia: One of the best split - T quarterbacks in | the country, Don King, and a rug-| ged, more experienced line give | Clemson an edge over the rebuild- ing Bulldogs, Tulane over Memphis State: Bob- by Stout the yardage if Tulane’s quarterbacks can stop their fumb- ling. Baylor over Vanderbilt: he Bears are a Southwest Confrer- ence power and Vandy is far down the list in the SEC. Too much tal- ent from Texas. Guide Dog Is Returned To Injured Master CHICAGO #®— A big Boxer guide dog jumped onto a bed in Ward 53 of Cook County Hospital last night and licked the face of| the blind patient, Leamon Bunch. “That's my Bouncer,” sobbed the 63-year-old man as he petted the dog. ‘‘He’s not dead after all.” Bunch was taken to the hospital Wednesday after he shot himself accidentally while cleaning a .25 caliber pistol in his home. The bullet went through his left side and grazed Bouncer’s head. Hospital attendants said Bunch had cried since entering the hos- pital because he thought he had killed Bounce, his guide dog eor five years. Fred Hertwig, hospital warden, arranged to have the dog brought to the hospital. “It is very unusual to allow a “but we had to make an exception to the rule in this case.” Physicians said Bunch’s condi- tion improved considerably after an hour's visit with Bouncer. ~ As Bears T Quarterback By BOB MYERS BERKELEY, Calif.—Versatility and a magnificent record last year stamp Paul Larson of Cali- fornia’s @den Bears as the prob- able leading backfield performer in the Pacific Coast Conference this fall. Larson, now 22 and a senior, amazed the experts and thrilled the California rooters last year when he took over the T-formation | quarterback duties. He had never played such a role in a game. As a freshman and a sophomore he was a halfback. But when the season was over the shifty, speedy 180-pounder was s-|the leading player on offense in the nation and the possessor of six school records in passing. “This was truly a remarkable record for a boy who had abso- lutely no real experience in this capactiy,” said Lynn O. (Pappy) Waldorf, coach of the Golden Bears. “Yes, Larson should have an- other fine year. He is a natural athlete and mentally adept,” Pap- py added. Waldorf won’t prophesy that the Terror from Turlock, Calif., will guide the Bears into the Rese Bowl. Pappy isn’t that audacious. But many observers do think Cali- fornia will top the coast confer- PAUL LARSON ence, and it stands to reason Lar- son will be a major factor in any success registered. Larson is somewhat deceiving. He stands only 5 feet 10% inches and his appearance belies his 180 pounds. But he is exceptionally fast and as strong as a young bull. He is a sincere competitor and he has a Cop Gets Sore All Over In Effort To Settle Horse And Wagon Woes Key West In Days Gone By SEPT. 24, 1994 Inspectors and clerks in the fifth and seventh precincts are to be arrested in connection with alleged fraudulent practices in these precincts in the first primary election on June 5.

Sometimes walking and somc- times riding, he took them to the police department's stables. Offi- cers there said they’d take the horse but there was no room for the wagon. Bianca decided to take the wag- on to the police impounding lot. To make the job eagier, he took the horse along to pull the wagon. But the impounding lot also re- fused the wagon. Stymied momentarily, the re- sourceful patrolman then headed for the Northeastern Police Sta- tion. He parked the wagon across the street from the station. Then he walked the horse to the stables and walked back—alone—to the station house. “My feet hurt,” Bianca said af- ter his four-hour sojourn, “Every- thing hurts.” Packing Heir Faces Dope Case LOS ANGELES (# — George (Geordie) Hormel II, 26-year-old nightclub piano player and meat packing heir, faces a preliminary hearing on marijuana possession charges Oct. 11. He was released on bail of $1,500 after arraignment in Municipal Court yesterday. Hormel was arrested last Sun- day. Police said they found 13 marijuana cigarettes in his car. The young heir, former husband of actress Leslie Caron, told re- Porters: “I want it to be known that the allegations made against me shall be proven untrue. I feel & great injustice has been done to the family name and I intend to see the honor and integrity of my family vindicated.” SNIPER FIRES INTO U.S. CONSULATE PUSAN, Korea (8 — A sniper today fired a small caliber bullet into the U.S. Consulate here, nar- Towly missing Vice Consul Gordon K. Mott, Lakewood, Ohio, as he worked in front of a third floor window. Consul Charles B. Borell notified U.S. military poliee, who are in- vestigating.

Last year he personally rolled up 1,572 yards from rushing and passing. Trained as a runner but a neophyte as a college passer, Paul accounted for 1,431 yards through the air and added 141 hemself carrying the ball. Paul is a versatile T-quarter- back—a definite threat on the optional run-pass play. In addition to his quarterback- ing responsibilities, Larson does the punting, he is a fine conver- sion artist, safety man and a de- mon on defense. Betty Ward Has 2-Stroke Edge In Ardmore Open By WILBUR JOHNSON Ardmore, Okla.

She trailed such threats as Mar- lene Bauer, Betty Danoff, Betsy Rawls and Betty Jameson, who were lumped at 79.
