Southern Cal Sure Of Bid For Rose Bow! Tilt Arkansas Is Seen As Sugar Bowl Siarter By ED CORRIGAN The Associated Press The list of candidates for the four major New Year's Day bowl games was down to manageable | proportions today but there still ‘was only one team with its spot ‘definitely nailed down, No matter what happens in its final two games against UCLA and Notre Dame, Southern California will be the host in the Rose Bowl. a they stop UCLA, the No. 1 team jn the country Saturday, they'll ‘win the Pacific Coast Conference title. If they lose, UCLA will take the crown, but the Trojans, as © gunners-up, get the bid anyhow. layed in the bowl last Jan. A ae Tietelore ineligible ‘this year. Pohd ; Otherwise, everything is up in the air. Here’s how they shape up: Rose Bowl — Southern Cali- fornia’s Big Ten opponent will be determined Saturday when Ohio State and Michigan meet. If the undefeated Buckeyes, second in the weekly Associated Press poll, win, they will: get the bid. However, if Michigan wins, both teams would have 6-1 league rec- ords. A vote would have to be taken. In that case, the Wolver- ines probably would be selected ‘on the basis of having beaten Ohio Oeaiien Bowl — The Southwest Conference winner, which usually is decided on the last day of the “season, is the host team. Until last Arkansas seemed the Razorbacks 21-14 and changed that. Now if SMU Fae Beyioe and season, plays in the bowl, “The visiting team probably will be the club that finishes second Southeastern Conference an upset.’ They have to by Mississippi State two weeks | Should State win, the survivor the Georgia-Georgia Tech game ‘would emerge the champion. Even if Mississippi loses to State, the Rebels would be the leading eandidate for the Cotton Bowl. appearance The Terps lost to Oklahoma last year 7-0 and have finished, their conference schedule with a 40-1 mark. Duke, currently sporting a 2-0 record, still must play South Carolina and North Carolina. If the Blue Devils win both, they'll show a 40 mark and will head for Miami. The opposition is bound to be easier than last year. Oklahoma, the perennial Big Seven champion, is ineligible, having played in the game the past year. That leaves Nebraska and Kansas State still in contention. Nebraska plays Oklahoma. Saturday and State goes against Colorado. Should State win and Nebraska lose, a distinct pos- sibility, the Wildcats would get the bid, although the two teams would show idéntical 4-2 records — be- cause State beat the Cornhuskers earlier in the year. Golf Executive Dies Sunday AUGUSTA, Ga. Fielding H. Wallace, 74, president of the United States Golf Association from 1948 to 1950 and widely known in golfing circles, died suddenly last night. He was president of the South. ern Press Cloth Co. in Augusta, secretary of the Augusta National Golf Club, and a former president of the Georgia State Golf Agso- eiation. He also was closély associated with the growth of the Augusta Country Club and was president from 1922 to 1936. For many years he was a mem- ber of the Women’s Titleholders | Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, November 15, 1954 Sports NEW YORK, (#—We have a feel- ing, amounting practically to an Obsession, that the track coach at Oxford University, Franz Stampfl, was talking through his topper the other day when he said to a report- er as follows: “A year ago the four-minute mite was called ‘the magic mile.’ It was nothing of the sort. Tlie four- minute mile was run four times last season and in the next few years it will be run 40 times. In 20 years I expect the record to be 3:50 — possibly lower.” The Viehna-born mentor is the man who taught Roger Bannister how to run, and so must be grant- ed a high standing in his profes- Association and served as chair- sion. He’s entitled to make pre- dictions, too. But we are of the firm opinion that this is one time he was talking when he should have been listening. Coach Stampfl is not going to live long enough to see 40 four- minute miles listed in the record books. He probably will not person- Upsets Mark SEC Play As "Bama Loses Sy MERCER BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The 1954 Southeastern Confer- ence football season has been filled with upsets:and oddities, but none of the unexpected develop- ments is more surprising than the fact that Alabama has lost its once-potent scoring punch. The Crimson Tide. lost 20-0 to Georgia Tech Saturday, stretching its string of scoreless quarters to 14. Tech, Tulane and Georgia re- fused to let the Tide cross the goal line and Mississippi State did not allow a ‘Bama score «in the Not ‘since 1916 had “wn Alabama team been held scoreless in three consecutive games. And, oddly, it was the same trie—Tech, Tulane and Georgia—that turned the trick back then. It’s not that Alabama has lost the knack of moving the ball—the Tide has averaged better than 250 yards in their last three games. It’s just that the end zone has become No Man’s Land as far as Tide ball carriers are con- cerned. And to underscore the surprising turn of events, here’s the way Coach Red Drew sized up his team before the seasen opened: “Our teamr could be somewhat improved on offense and probably not as good on defense (as in 1953). . .” Yet "Bama went into the Tech game as the nation’s top defensive team. Auburn is another example of puzzling form reversal. The Plains- men were picked as one of the powers of the conference and got off to a good start with a 45-0 Tout of Chattanooga. Then, boom- boom-boom, three straight losses to Florida, Kentucky and Tech. But the Plainsmen regrouped, shelved the X and Y two-team system, and Saturday’s 35-0 romp over Georgia was Auburn’s fourth straight victory and fourth shut- out of the season. Also’ in the realm of the un- usual: In seven games Saturday involving SEC teams, six of the losers were held scoreless—Tech over ‘Bama 20-0, Auburn over Georgia 35-0, Mississippi State over Louisiana State 25-0, Missis- sippi over Houston 26-0, Florida over Tennessee 14-0 and Tulane over Vanderbilt 60. Kentucky whipped Memphis State handily but State managed one TD, bow- ing 33-7. Auburn’s vietory over Georgia knocked the Bulldogs off the SEC pinnacle and returned Ole Miss to the top spot. Tech and Florida are tied for second. Mississippi ean clinch the championship by beating Mississippi State Nov. 27. If Ole Miss loses, the winner of the Tech-Georgia game would get the title. Half of the SEC teams—Tech, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, Mis- sissippi State and Tulane—are idle this weekend, resting up for their traditional intra-state rivalries the following Saturday. 5 Alabama has a Friday night en- gagement with Miami in the Flori- Roundup By Gayle Talbot ally ever see another mile run un- der that figure, since Bannister has asked to be counted out. And there never will be a 3:50 mile run by a human being without the use of afterburners, That last statement is taking in a lot of time, but we’re willing to be stuck with it if anyone wans to clip this out and confront us with it 50 or 60 years from now. We'll even toss in the prediction that this generation will not again see two men break four minutes in the same race, as Bannister and John Landy did last summer in Vancouver. Our feeling, stated simply, is that there must be, sometime, an abso- lute limit to human endeavor, The fact that 32 track and field records have been broken this year, and that boys are growing bigger and breakfast food, doesn’t make this any the less true. Some time it’s got to stop, and we think that in the case of running the mile that point has just about been reached. ——SSLSSK== Grid Gleanings By ED WILKS NEW YORK, (#—Monday’s Foot- ball Wash: Two of the easiest jobs in college football at the moment are those filled by Joseph Cahill of West Point and John T. Cox of Annapo- lis, the two gentlemen who supply press, radio and television with information ‘in support of Army and Navy athletic teams. Both the Cadets and the Middies are in seclusion at present, pre- paring for their annual football classic at Philadelphia Nov. 27. And the promotion necessary to build up interest in that. game matches the encouragement need- | ed by your favorite nephew to ac- cept a chocolate soda. Most of the Army-Navy clashes have been thrillers, But this one is a natural. The Cadets and Mid- shipmen have been building up for it all season with a look of may- hem in their eyes when, they met mutual opponents, i Dartmouth, Penn, Duke\ and Cd- lumbia were the unfortunates with Columbia and Penn the most re- cent victims. Army bashed Colum- bia 67-12 earlier and last Saturday Navy mauled the Lions 51-6—roll- ing up a ground net of 512 yards and a 629-yard total offense, Both were Navy records. Penn, meanwhile, was blanked 35-0 by Army last weekend after an earlier 52-6 pasting by Navy. And Dartmouth lost to Army 60-6 and Navy 42-7 while Duke col- lapsed before the Cadets 28-14 be- fore Navy steamrollered the Blue Devils 42-7. An almost forgotten scoring weapon, the safety, provided the margin of Minnesota’s 22-20 vic- tory over lowa despite the explo- sive power of the Gophers’ Bob McNamara and Iowa’s Eddie Vin- cent and Earl Smith. McNamara scored twice, on runs on 36 and 89 yards; Vincent rambled 62 to set up a TD and Smith ran 81 yards on a- punt return that was nullified by a penalty, There was contrast in the Texas- Texas Christian game, too. The Southwest Conference “contest in- cluded five touchdown plays which ranged in length from 56 to 71 yards. Yet the touchdown that gave Texas a 35-34 victory was scored on a 3-yard plunge.

The coaches believed that Miami would have its finest running a tack since the great 1950 Hurti- cane eleven, but the club lacked a man who could go all the way. Miami backs, however, have up set these predictions in more ways than one. Long runs, and long TD gallops have been a steady diet for the Miami football team this year. On rushing plays, John Book- man made a 79 yard gallop; Quar- terback Carl Garrigus romped 48 yards; Mario Bonofiglio, 52 yards and Sam Scarnecchia 54 yards. Edward Oliver romped almost 40 yards, missing a TD by a half yard against Fordham. On punt returns, Captain Malloy, one of Miami's All-America candi- dates twice made long distance punts returns for touchdowns, one time romping 25 and 75 yards and on another occasion, 72 yards. The longest run of the year wag recorded by Paul Hefti, second string fullback, who galloped 98 yards on a pass interception. The TD run was against Fordham, Miami, ranked No, 11 in the na- tion, is now making ready for its all-important football battle to be waged with the University of Ala- bama Friday night, Nov. 19 in the Orange Bowl. The Hurricanes wll be meeting an Alabama team which ranks No. 1 in the nation in total defense. The game will be played before more than 60,000 fans in the Orange Bowl Stadium.

Lions Head For 3rd NFL Championship sr ROBERTSON e Associated Press The Detroit Lions, leading the Western Conference by two games, are safely on the way to their third straight National Football League playoff and a chance to win their third successive league title. But the road is far from rosy for the New York Giants, who are atop the Eastern Conference today but only by the thin margin of half a game. The Lions avenged their only de- feat of the season yesterday when they whipped the San Francisco 49ers 48-7 for their sixth victory. They have five games remaining —two with the Green Bay Packers and one each against the Phila- delphia Eagles, Chicago Bears and the Cleveland. Browns. And only the Browns, pressing the Giants for the Eastern Conference. lead, figure to cause the champions any serious trouble. Meantime, the Giants, who took sole possession of their division yesterday by downing the Eagles 27-14, must face the always dan- gerous Los Angeles Rams Sunday and then take on the Browns in the game that could well decide the title. They also play Pittsburgh and Philadelphia again. The Browns, who hold a 5-2 rec- ord compared to Philadelphia’s 6.2 | after walloping the Bears 39-10 yes- terday, tangle with the Eagles Sun- day, followed by the Giants whom they defeated earlier in the season, Washington, Pittsburgh and De- troit. The 49ers’ defeat yesterday cou- pled with Los Angeles’ 28-17 con- quest of the Chicago Cardinals tied the Rams with San Francisco for second place ‘back of the Lions.
