Coach Johnny Vaught had the same idea as he sent his Missis- sippi team through blocking and tackling drills in preparation for Saturday’s invasion of Vanderbilt. The Alabama squad held a light drill, concentrating on timing in preparation for the game with Tulsa, but most players and coacn- es were concerned about Bart Starr, their passing sensation. Starr was hospitalized because of a nagging back injury. Coaches said he might miss the Tennes- see game Oct. 16.

The Georgia team was reported in good physical shape after losing to Texas A&M.

Norkus, Powell To Battle In TV Bout Tonight Wednesday night TV fight fans will witness an old-fashioned pier- six brawl on October 6 when two big heavyweight sluggers, Charlie Norkus and Charley Powell battle in a 10-round main event at the Civie Auditorium, San Francisco. Blue Ribbon Bout followers re. member Norkus as the rock-em, sock-em brawler who scored two sensatonal victories over Danny Nardico. Powell, a newcomer to the TV fight series, hails from San Diego, California, and is considered by many sports writers as the most promising heavyweight on the Pa- cifie Coast. A network of 101 CBS- TV stations will carry the contest across the nation at 10 p. m. E. S. T. Station. Norkus, from Bayonne, N. J., is a dangerous fighter capable of scoring a kayo in either the first Shortage Of Top Back On SEC Roster By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS On the basis of early season performances, there appears to be a shortage of outstanding ends and centers on Southeastern Confer- énce football teams. With the season three weeks old, sports writers around the confer- | ence have nominated only six ends and three centers to the weekly Associated Press SEC checklist of stars. Eleven tackles, 11 guards and 30 backs have been singled out for top-flight performances dur- ing the same period. Two flankmen made their first appearances on the checklist this week—Eddie Bravo of Tulane and Jimmy Durham of Georgia Tech. Durham, chosen for fine defensive play and offensive blocking against Southern Methodist, had not played in Tech's first two games because of illness, * Auburn's All - America hopeful Jim Pyburn made’ the list this week for the second straight time for his petformance against Flor- ida. No other end has: -received two nominations. The three \centers singled out so far are Steve DeLaTorre of Florida, Hal Easterwood of Mis- sissippi State and Larry Morris of Ga. Tech, DeLaTore has made the list all three weeks, Easter- wood twice and Morris once. Players nominated this week: BACKS — Freddie Wilcox and Bobby Saia, Tulane; Charlie Hor- ton and Steve Pepoy, Vanderbi't; Corky Tharp, Alabama; John Ma- jors and Tom Tracy, Tennessee; Bobby Freeman, Auburn; Bobby Lance and Jackie Simpson, Flor- ida; Dickie Prescott, Louisiana State; Dick Rushing, Kentucky; Earl Blair, Mississippi; and Jim Tait and Frank Sabbatini, Missis- sippi State.

In his: first Nardieo fight, a sav- age, bloody battle, Charlie floored the ex-Marine several times before knocking him out in the ninth round. In a- return bout Charlie hammered out a unanimous deci- sion in a fight that was as savage- ly fought as the first encounter. As a result of these victories Norkus’ prestige soared. A hard puncher, he is willing to take a punch in order to land one of his own. In his pro career which began in 1948, he has foyght 36 times, winning 24 while Isoing 12. Fourteen of his 24 vic- tories were via the kayo route. On the brink of becoming a top- rated contender, Charlie has lost only one in his last ten starts. Fac- ing one of the toughest opponents of this career, Norkus will seek an eary kayo rather than risk be- ing a victim of Powell’s lethal and devastating blows. Powell is a youngster in age and experience. In his brief but suc- cessful ring career, Charley is un- defeated, having 11 victories and one draw in 12 starts. An all-a- round athlete, he currently plays defensive end on the San Francis- co 49’ers football team and had a major league baseball tryout. Powell had turned to fighting in hopes of becoming a future heavy- weight champion. The huge fight- er — hé’s six feet, four inches tall and weighs 220 pounds, is one of the har hitters in the ring to- day. He has the physical require- ments and natural ability to be- come an outstanding challenger, and many of his fans believe he will match or equal Joe Louis’ re- cord in achieving this goal. His knockout record is pheno- menal, for in winning eleven con- tests Charley kayoed ten opponents. Against Rocky Jones, a toughie who decisioned Roland La Starza and Tommy Jackson, Powell scor- ed a sensational 50 -second first round knockout, a stunning upset victory.

Sports NEW YORK # — The American League only thought it had trouble when it met here a week ago to try to breathe life back into the Philadelphia Athletics. No one can estimate how long it will take the younger cireuit to recover fully from the debacle of the World Series. It was known, of course, that President Will Harridge’s league, after seven straight years of dom- inance, had become badly over- balanced at the top and seriously needed to do something about the five weak sisters in its “second division.” Until the Giants went to work on Cleveland's 111-game wia- ners, the extent to which the en- tire league had deteriorated was not fully appreciated. Let us put it this way: In the third playoff game at Cleveland, when Hank Majeski substituted at third base for ailing Al Rosen, the champions of the American League were playing men at third, shortstop, first base and in right field who could not among them win a regular job on any club in the National League. An official of the eighth-place Pittsburgh 'Pi- rates said he. couldn’t use any of them, and that should be fairly conclusive. So what does this portend—the | sad showing-up of a club which had broken even with the Yankees and Chicago White Sox over the regular season while slaughtering its lesser league rivals? A National League figure, not connected with the Giants, who was doing some eélebrating after the final game, said this: “Every team in our league will feel the difference at the gate. Take New York, which has some thing like 50,000 visitors every day of the season. A lot of those people want to see a big league game, and a big majority of them have | been going to Yankee Stadium, Now they'll want to go to the Polo Grounds to watch Willie Mays, Johnny Antonelli, Alvin Dark and Hank Thompson, “We'll all feel it when we play there, and we'll feel it in our home Parks too, because our fans will know they are looking at the best. If there was any question about those fellows getting the Athletics PEs RIGS punching ability lies in a compari- son of his record against Frank Buford and the records of a former heavyweight king and the present light heavyweight title - holder. Powell scored a two-round knock- out, while it took Ezzard Charles seven rounds and Archie Moore nine rounds to duplicate his feat. In a four-round exhibition bout, Charley, wearing 16 - ounce gloves. scored an early second - round knockout over an opponent who previously had never been floored.
