Klaug CTieup Seen For The Sugar Bowl Classic By ESCAR THOMPSON ENOXVILLE, Tenn. (% — Presi- dents or their faculty representa- tives cf the 12 schools in the Southeastern: Conference received today. a proposal that the SEC make an agreement with the New Orleans Sugar Bowl. “I’m prepared to make my re- port on the Sugar Bowl tie-up to- day,” said Bernie Moore, SEC commissioner from Birmingham and chairman of the bowl com- mittee. The Sugar Bowl is the only ma- jor New Year’s Day football bow! which does ‘not have a i agreement with at least one ath- letic conference. The Orange Bowl, at Miami, features the selections of the Big Seven and the Atlantic Coast Conference; the Rose Bowl, at Pasadena, is tied in with the Pacific Coast and the Big Ten Conferences; and the winner of the Southwest Conference race is host to the Cotton Bow! at Dallas. “We'd be happy to consider any proposal the SEC wishes to make,” said Bernie Grenrood, president of the Mid-Winter Sports Assn. in New Orleans which sponsors the Sugar Bowl sports program. The only controversial matter on today’s agenda, as nearly as could be learned, is a recommendation that the conference relax a re- striction on the number of fresh. men football athletic scholarships. ‘The present rule, passed last year, limits these to 40, of which 30 can be certified to Moore for use. Moore has said a majority of ath. from SEC teams re- ceipts from bowl games which pay each team less than $85,000. Al- though the Gator Bowl won't be referred to specifically, it is the obvious et of the recommen- dation. ‘aan, an SEC team, VETERAN NETTER—Will Pearce, canny veteran of years of tourney slated to get under way Sunday on the Bayview Park “courts.

Bradley And Penn State Cagers Lose By JOHN CHANDLER The Associated - Press Bradley and Penn State, a couple ot powers in the NCAA Basketball Tournament last spring, are find- ing the sledding pretty rough as the’ young 1954-55° college basket- ball season progresses. Their back- ers. hope it’s. just a.bit of early jitters.’ é In a slim program on the col- lege courts last night, North Caro- lina State belted Penn State 99-77, while Texas Christian outlasted Bradly . 85-83. It. was the third defeat in three games for Brad- ley, NCAA ‘finalist last spring. Penn State, which went to the Eastern division NCAA final and defeated Southern California for third place in the national finals, was outclassed by N.C. State in their game at Raleigh. The Wolfpack, led by. two tower- ing centers Cliff Dwyer and Ronnie Shavlik, rolled up a 53-36 halftime lead and was never in trouble. Shavlik plunked in 35 points and Dwyer contributed 21. Jess Ar- nelle, the Penn State star and captain, scored 20. At Peoria, Ill., Texas Christian made it 3-for-4, but almost blew a big lead in the final 17 points. At that point TCU ‘led 53-36, but Bradley put on a terrific rally as Lee Utt, Fred Dickman and Harry Hansen combined for 12 points’ while’ TCU was limited to a free throw. TCU’s J. Bryan Kilpatrick, who led all scorers with 22 points, made two free throws with 43 sec- onds remaining to make it 85-81, before Dickman scored for Brad- leyfrom the field with nine sec- onds ‘left. /Washington State. and \Gonzaga chalked up victories in the first double-header played in’ thé "hew 2\4-million-dollar Spokane (Wash.) Coliseum. Gonzaga took Whitworth 70-60, then the Cougars nipped Utah State 69-68 on Ron Bennink’s one- hander with only 20 seconds left to play. In New York, Madison Square college basketball, and the Seton Hall Pirates rallied in the final seven minutes to defeat Western Kentucky 98-85 after St. Joseph’s of, Philadelphia downed Manhattan 78-68. ' Louisville had a tussle before defeating John Carroll 96-83 for its fourth straight victory, while undefeated Drake merely coasted to its second win by drubbing South Dakota 83-48, ' North Carolina led ‘all the way to defeat South Carolina 88-67 in an Atlantic Coast Conference game. William and Mary rocked Hampden-Sydney 108-76 and Fur- man rolled over Newberry 98-56. NEW' YORK # — Al Andrews scoffed at the 2:1 odds favoring Vince Martinez and predicted he would break the welterweight con- tender’s victory streak in Madi- son Square Garden tonight. Martinez’s long-range style of fighting has carried him to 12 straight victories, a 39-3 record, and a No. 6 ranking among the welterweight contenders. The Pat-| erson, N. J., picture puncher has | won seven this year, four by knock- outs. But in Andrews he meets the most formidable opponent of his career. The ex-GI from the West will have about a six-pound weight edge—155 to 149—and he expects to throw the weight around if he forces Vince to a close-quarter battle. 3 A full-fledged middleweight now, and ranked as the No. 10 contend- er in the 160-pound class, Andrews has been facing heavier and tough- er opposition than Martinez. In 11 fights this year he won six, lost four and drew m one with Joe plays Baylor in that bowl Dec. 31 at Jacksonville, Fla. The usual take for each team in the Gator ~tae| Andrews Predicts He’ll Win Miceli. Three of the defeats were to middleweights—Ted Olla, Bubi Scholz and Gil Turner. He kayoed Turner ‘in the third round of a feturn. The other loss was to Can men Basilio, No. 1 welter con- tender. - Fight Results THURSDAY'S FIGHTS By The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Jimmy B.

But I wouldn’t mind the | outfield a bit if this boy Howard comes along.” “This boy Howard” is Elston Howard, regarded as one of the hottest Yankee rookie prospects in yéars. Normally an outfielder, the young Negro spent the past year at Toronto learning to be-a catcher. “I know Bill (Dickey) will work hard with him,” Yogi said. “Bill taught me an awful lot whensI eame up and he probably can do the same for Howard. The only time ve seen Howard was at spring training last year and I know he’s a hard worker. He don’t grumble and he’s willing to try, “That's important.” Berra, the MVP in 1951, is the: first repedter for .the honor since Ted Williams won in 1946 and 1949, He polled 230 points in the: ballot- ing by 24 members of the Baseball Writers Assn. from the eight American League cities.

LONDON ® — Rober Bannister, one of the two men who have run mile under four minutes, has stepped off the cinder track at the peak of his great athletic career. The London Physician announced | [his retirement last night at tae an- } {nual banquet of the sports writers of Great Britain. At the same time, in Australia, his friend and keenest rival, Joan Landy, talked glumly of quitting competitive running. So 1954 nears an end with a vast | void looming in the track and fie!d world. It was a year that saw Ban- nister, then Landy, crack the four- minute mile barrier. Then in a memorable race at Vancouver, Canada, Bannister vanquished his Australian rival in a race in which both were clocked under four min- utes. hi Bannister first lowered ‘the mile | — to 3:59.4 at Oxford, England, iy 6. A little over a month later in Finland Landy dropped the rec- | ord to 3:58. At Vancouver, in the | British Empire Games, Bannister won ip 3:58.8 with Landy second | in 3259.6. ‘ |_ Bannister, who'll be 26 next | March, hinted quite clearly after his European 1500-meter champion- | ship victory at Bern in August that jhe had run his last race. He said last night: “I have to refer to something which contains a very sad note: namely, I shall now be compelled to give up international athletics.” He explained that his medical | j) career has made training increas- ingly difficult,’ “Friday, December 10, 1954 Marathon, Florida Phone 2081: Complete Hauling & Repair Facilities For Boats Up To o 100 Feet - Eight-Foot Draft.
