THE KEY WEST Cl y, October 18, 1954 lon Fleming Tops ce S Grid Picture Is Really By ED CORRIGAN The Associated Press This crazy-quilt college football season is approaching the halfway Point and coaches are beginning to think in terms of conference championships and possible bowl ids, Some of the teams that were buried far down in the preseason ratings are right in the thick of things. Arkansas, for one, could write a real rags-to-riches story if they win the Southwest Conference title. They haven’t taken it in 18 years, day night against Constance, a team that has shown hot and cold throughout the cur- Their biggest achievement to date was in holding the red-hot Miami Beach eleven to a 6-0 score. Boasting of a team bigger and than Curley, ,Constance ple of years, is ex- pected to be among the leaders in the Miami area, They will be no “We've got to pep up our pass offense,” said Coach Beckman, “You can’t play good teams and not complete a single pass like we did against Curley.” And the success of the Conch aer- jal assault depends largely on the condition of halfback Bill Haney, whe threw his shoulder out of joint ‘or the second time this season in che Curley clash, After the game, ae was feeling comfortable but wrainer Tom Whitley is fearful that the musles may have tightened up. Beckman said that he would. pro- bably use his spafingly, if at all, against Constance. Other Conch performers are nurs- ing bruises, but generally the lo- cals escaped “unscratched in the Curley tilt, which proved to be one of the most hardfought in four years of football here. Red Stick- aey suffered @ slight back injury which may keep him stiff in to- day’s workouts, Hard-driving Mike Cates received a painful bruise on the calf of his leg and George Reese aggravated a bruise on his shin, All of these boys will be key per- formers in Friday’s game. “‘They’ll load up on us two deep in the mid- dle,” predicted Beckman, Dramatic Move Saves The A’s For Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA “#—An eight- man Philadelphia syndicate made emerge the Rose Bowl team. bitious Purdue’20-6-and..Qhio State defeated Iowa 20-14. Michigan plays Minnesota for the Little Brown Jug in another game that could have some bearing on the title should the Badgers or Buckeyes falter. but their stunning 20-7 triumph over Texas last Saturday left them one of the dozen and a half ma- jor undefeated teams in the coun- try. They still play Texas A&M, Rice and Southern Methodist, so they could meet their downfall. The Southwest winner is host team in the Cotton Bowl. And who would have thought Army would emerge as the top team in the East after it’s wretched showing against South Carolina in the beginning of the season? But the Cadets’ fine 28-14 triumph put them up there. Both the Big Ten and Ivy League have been surprising. Minois and Michigan State were expected to make serious bids for the Big Ten title. Both are pulling up the rear, while Wisconsin and Ohio State, two of the unbeatens, go at it this Saturday.

The first postponement was caused by the Cuban champ’s injured right hand and the second when the Keed came down with a virus and the mumps. —$ night, saving American League baseball for this city. The action ended the baseball life of one of the game’s greatest figures, 91-year-old Connie Mack, Months of confusion and indeci- sion over the status of the Ath- leties was ended when the syndi- cate of wealthy and prominent Philadelphians bought out Connie and his son, Earle Mack, and a dramatic last-minute purchase of the Philadelphia Athletics last Miami Malloy Highly Touted University of Miami’s undefeated Hurricanes, with one All Ameri- can candidate on their hands in End Frank McDonald, appears to have another contender for the big team in Gordon Malloy, captain and left halfback. While McDonald continues to add | to U. of Miami all time records} epached thoroughly to stop Malloy, every time he catches a forward pass — and is leading the team for the third year in a row in pass catching — and plays a bang up blocking and defensive game at end, his team captain, Gordon Mal- loy has rocketed into fame with his sensational running. Malloy has scored in each Mia. mi game thus far. In his last two, his tallies have come on sensation- al punt returns. He ran for 75 yards against Holy Cross and prac. tically retraced every foot step down the north sidelines as he rac. ed 71 yards for another Seore against Mississiped State. ‘Aside from these two spectacu- lar thrusts, his running from. the left half back slot has been amaz. ing and devastating.

Pounds of determination will pick up four, five, six yards with tack- lers grasping him. He opened the year by trotting 38 yards in five tries against Fur- man and then pulverized Baylor in 10 State, Cross gave up 57 yards sprints while Mississippi had 16 tries and gave up 77 yards before downing him. Not once has Malloy been held without gain this fall. In 40 tries he has picked up 257 yards, an average of 6.43 yards per rush. is almost flawless — he played on the Miami defensive team in the first year he was eligible at Mia- mi. He generally leads the backs ih tackles and is a terror on pass defense. Whatever is to be done, Malloy does it but good. He is given much of the-credit for turning a Miami team which had a 4-5 record in 1953, to an undefeated until this fall. Elected captain this fall, he is a tremendous inspirational lead- er. for 85 yards in nine efforts.

The Uclans can’t go back to the Rose Bowl, so they’re playing for national honors. They. massacred Stanford 72-0 in their last outing. Actually, .

Colorado is the only club capable of giving the Sooners a healthy workout in their prepar- ations for a jaunt to the Orange Bowl. In the tough Atlantic Coast Con- ference, which supplies the host team for the Orange Bowl, defend- ipg national champion Maryland still has a good chance, although Duke and Wake Forest are in the Tunning to. . Undefeated Mississippi is in a peculiar position. Ol’ Miss could win the Southeastern Conference title and go on to the Sugar Bowl and with its soft schedule probably do just that. But the schedule has worked against the Rebels in the national picture. Arkansas is their opponent this week. Among the independents, Notre Dame, struggling to recoup from its reversal by Purdue, probably is the standout. The Irish licked Michigan State 20-19 last Saturday and seém to have rebounded well. UNDUP The clever, 28-year-old Gavilan is the 1-2 favorite to make good in his eighth title defense. Saxton, 24, makes his bid with a fine 43-2-2 record. CBS will telecast the bout. Gerry Dreyer, the former Brit- ish Empire welterweight cham- champion from South Africa, is a slight favorite to spoil the New York debut of Ramon Tiscareno| at St. Nicholas Arena tonight. The | 20-year-old Mexican, who fights out of Los Angeles, is highly touted. But recent invaders from the West have been taking regular beatings and the experts want to wait and see.
