NEW YORK — Close friends have been unable thus.far to dis- suade Sugar Ray Robinson from attempting to make a ring come- back after two years on the tap- dancing circuit. The once-great fighter who retired as middle- weight champion in December 1952 is in training and declares he is serious about winning back the 160-pound. title. Many who saw Robinson at his unbeatable best back in the mid- die "40s cherish the memory and wish that he would not subject them to the same pain that Joe Louis did when he returned a few years ago a blubbery caricature of mer self to be pounded out of shape hy the likes of Ezzard Charles, who wouldn’t have lasted three rounds with him at his Peak, _It's’an old story of the prize Ting. They say that admirers of Jim. Jeffries wept when their idol came out of retirement and was axed by Jack Johnson. Jeffries, though, had been urged to give it @ try, and Louis needed money. Nobody has asked Sugar Ray to put the gloves on again, and he has approximately half the loose Money in Harlem, The suggestion we are about to make is that Robinson get himself & copy of the films of the Johnny Saxton-Kid Gavilan thing in Phila- delphia last week and play it a few times after he has fi his training chores.

It was a little on the facetious side, since Bryant obviously was taking a poke at those who ride only with the winners. But Arkan- sas might note and get the idea it could run into a peck of trouble Saturday night when the high-fly- ing Razorbacks, leading the South- west Conference race, play the Aggies on their home field. Bryant observed that mobody else wanted the team so he would take it. “It’s always ‘our’ team when we'r winning and going good, but nobody has asked me how ‘our’ team is doing. It’s always ‘How’s your team going this season,” said the man who's in his first losing season of a 10-year coaching ca- reer. He always finished ahead in nine years at Maryland and Kentucky. A&M has won only one out of six. At Kentucky, in 1951, his team had an 84 record and those four loses were the previous high for a Bryant-coached squad. But that outfit pretty well redeemed itself by beating Texas Christian in the Cotton Bowl. The lone Aggie victory was over Georgia, and Georgia right now leads the Southeastern Conference race. So Arkansas leads the South- west Conference . . . h-m-m. | still have confidence in these .”” growled Bryant. 49ers Stay Unbeaten In Pro Football By JOE REICHLER San Franeisco’s power-packed 49ers owned a triple distinction %o- day: 1, They are the only undefeated eleven in the National Football League. 2. They are in undisputed pos- session of first place in the West- ern Division for the first time this season. 3. They are the only team to de- feat the defending champion De- troit Lions in nearly. a year. The 49ers ground out a thrilling | 37-31 victory yesterday that jarred the Lions out of the lead and into second place. An overflow crowd of 59,600 that jammed San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium cheered itself hoarse as the 49ers burst into a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and never were headed although they had to stave off a desperate last-period rally by Detroit. Y. A. Tittle, quarterbacking with a cast on his broken left hand, and full back Hugh McElhenny, running like an unbroken colt, led Frisco’s explosive attack. Tittle pased for two touchdowns and McElhenny reeled off runs of 60 and 34 yards to snap Detroit’s 10-game winning streak. It was a great afternoon for quarterbacks, esvecially for veter- ans Charlie Conerly, Otto Graham and George Blanda. Conerly, en- joying his best of seven profession- al seasons with New York, literal- ly tossed the Giants into a three- way tie for first place in the East- ern Division. Chuckin’ Charlie passed for three touchdowns in a 24-7 triumph over Washington’s hapless Redskins. Pittsburgh made the three-way tie possible Saturday night, defeat- ing the Eagles 17-7 on the passing of Jim Finks and the running of Lynn Chandnois. Graham passed to a touchdown and scored two more while lead- ing Cleveland to its 10th straight victory over the Chicago Cardinals High-powered running by Paul (Tank) Younger and Dan Towler offset a tremendous one-man show by Chicago’s Blanda and spearheaded the Rams to a free- scoring 42-38 victory over the Bears. Blanda completed 28 aerials for 328 yards and hurling four of Chi- cago’s five touchdowns. ‘A recovered fumble in the third period set up a Green Bay touch- down that gave the Packers a 7-6 triumph over the Baltimore Or oles, SAXTON OFFERED L.A.

The Tigers handed Florida a setback in the Gators’ drive to- ward the championship Saturday night, 20-7. And two other teams still in title-grabbing territory— Mississippi and Mississippi State— must get by the Tigers to keep their hopes alive. Quarterback Al Doggett’s fine Play calling and passing, plus some key blocking and decoy work by Lou Deutschmann, were major factors in LSU’s upset vic- tory over Florida, previously un- beaten in conference play. Ole Miss likely will be boiling mad when the Rebels march into Baton Rouge for a Saturday night battle with the Tigers, who just a week ago spoiled Texas Tech’s dreams of an unbeaten season and a Sugar or Cotton Bowl bid. Mississippi, previously unbeaten and the nation’s top offensive team, was unable to score on Arkansas’ win-happy Razorbacks and the Rebs bowed 6-0. The game counted as a conference con was doubly costly. Alabama, which like Florida and Ole Miss had a 3-0 SEC record be- fore Saturday’s game, got its lumps from a rugged Mississippi State team which finally is getting its injury problem under control, State tripped "Bama 12-7.

Big inter- conference games are Tech at Duke, Tennessee at Kentucky and Auburn vs. Tulane in Mobile. With Georgia on top of the standings, Ole Miss, Alabama and Florida are tied for second with 3-1 SEC marks. Next is Mississippi State with a 2-1 record. Trojan Back Plays 60-Minute Game LOS ANGELES (#—In this age of high speed football you might think the day of the 60-minute man belongs to the past. Consider then the case of Lindon Crow and the full hour of playing time he put in for the University of Southern California Trojans as they beat California 29-27 Saturday to remain on the road to the Rose Bowl and an undefeated season in Pacific Coast Conference play. The popular Trojan right half- back and co-captain scored three touchdowns, was the team’s lead- ing rusher with 38 yards in 11 car- ries and caught two passes for an additional 57 yards, He recovered a pair of crucial fumbles and provided agile defer- sive play to cap his brilliant show. “The best game he has played at the university,” said Coach Jess Hill. “‘He’s a senior with lots of ability and he showed it both of- fensively and defensively.” Hill added that Crow, the fastest sprint man on the squad (he can run 100 yards in 10 seconds flat), has been of tremendous value to the team for three seasons. As a sophomore, the 187-pounder who ie studying to enter the real estate business, was the regular defensive right halfback.

They’ve won their three day games and the remaining four are in daylight: At Homecoming Saturday, Flor- ida will find a tough foe in Missis- sippi State. Hardly anyone thought the Maroons were good enough to beat Alabama—although Florida can thank them for it so far as the Gators’ chances for the SEC title are concerned. Another result that helps was Mississippi’s. loss to Arkansas in a game that counts in the SEC standings. Alabama, Mississippi and Florida all had 3-0 conference records. But when two of the SEC co- leaders fell Saturday afternoon, and Florida missed the brass ring Saturday night, the merry-go- round broke down. Al Doggett, LSU quarterback who passes with an unorthodox sidearm motion, hexed Florida for the'setond straight year. His pass- ing and kicking gave LSU an up- hill 21-21 tie last year. This time he started each of the thr :e Tiger touchdown drives with a pass—10 yards to John Wood; 30 to Vincent Gonzales and 31 to Don Simpson. But the thing that hurt Florida’s sophomores the most were their own mistakes. Bob Smith fumbled the opening kickoff and Ftorida was in a hole from which it never dug out. It was at the start of the third quarter that a fired up Louisiana State team won the game—74 yards for one score and 56 for another after a third Florida fum- ble. Fred Robinson quarterbacked Florida to its own touchdown on a 67-yard march in eight plays; the last 14 yards by Joe Brodsky. ked the conversion.
