Hits egal Reeruiti DALLAS (#—Copies of a 400- word statement that the Southwest Conference ’s very existence is en- dangered by a wave of illegal re- cruiting went out today to alumni groups of the seven member schools. It was the alumni that the facul- ty committee, governing body of the conference, hit at mostly in a report on athletic subsidization at its winter meeting over the weekend, And, it was pointed out, this is the hardest group. to control, that while “evidence of such wrong- doing has occurredis too strong to, be doubted” the kind of* evi- dence that will-stand up in court couki not be obtained. The committee found that valu- able gifts to prospective athletes, payment of money and promise of employment to parents in an ef- fort to influence athletic recruiting and efforts to evade the rule in the proper signing of athletes were threatening “the good name” of the conference. Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, December 13, 1954 OUTBOARD ROUNDUP The Key West Outboard Club put the wraps on their racing activi- ties for 1954 with their Regatta in Garrison Bight Sunday afternoon. If the City Father ever make up their minds concerning the| Bight, or would assure the Out- doard Club that it could use same for the next three or four months ‘we could plan our winter program to cover several Regattas during the heavy. tourist season. As it stands no program is being at- tempted at this time. Jerry Schnaedelbach was the high point champ for 1954 in the ‘B” Runabout Class. Bill Porter topped the “D-1” Runabout Crown for this year. David Nason, after trying -des- perately for four years, finally suc- ceeded in topping the field in the “B” Hydroplane Class, Ray Miller and his Mercury pow-| ered Flirty Miss took the Free for All championship. The High Point Trophies will be from each member of the league that it would tighten rules to bet- ter control its alumni and other presented to the winners at the Installation Banquet to be held on Jan. 22. Raymond. Maloney, always a great showman, gave the fans something to remember the 1954 racing season. He timed it ‘per- fect. Flipped his 50 horse power Hydro right at the finish line in the last lap of the last heat of the last race of the year, and my opinion was the most spectacular \flip of the year, and though his boat was upside down, the momen- tum took boat and driver across the finish line and he was declared the winner as he was leading the field.

CONCH SCORING PLAY—Big Julio Henriquez (No. 24) lays up a cause Friday against Coral Gables’ cagers. Looking on are Conch Ji Williams and Klein. Conchs make second of Miami Open Winner Almost. Didn't Show Up MIAMI, Fla, #—Bob Hogar ri a roly-poly young man who a mo: wasn’t there, pocketed the $2,000 first ptize money in the Miami Open Golf Tournament after a dis- Play of putting that had spectators bug-eyed. “T had decided not to come down for this one. It’s a long way to Miami from California and I didn’t think it would be worth the trip,” the San Francisco putting perfectionist said yesterday after winning his first major tourna- ment. “Now I’m awfully glad I changed my mind.” The chubby, 28-year-old Ros- burg’s putting was at a peak in the final round over the par 35-35—70, 6,620-yard Miami Springs course. His ability to stroke them in from as far as 50 feet away en- abled him to vault from a tie for sixth, two strokes off the pace, intg first place, His sensational 32-33-65 gave him a 273 total, 7 under par. Bo Wininger, Oklahoma City, tied for the lead with National Open champion Ed Furgol, St. Louis, and’ Ted Kroll, New Hart- ford, N. Y., after three rounds was the only one of that trio who managed to break par yesterday and his 69 gave him second place, one stroke behind Rosburg, and $1,400 prize money. Doug Ford, Kiamesha Lake, N. Y., the 1953 winner, shot a fine 67 to pull into third-place with 275. He collected $1000. Furgol and Kroll took 70s and tied for fourth at 276 with former Open champ Julius Boros, Mid Pines, N. C., and Pete Cooper, Tampa. Boros, the first-round pape setter had a 69 and Cooper card- ed a fine 67. One stroke back were Herman Barron, White Plains, N. Y., and Art Wall Jr., Pocono Manor, Pa. Each had a 68 in the final round. Olson Risks Title Against Langlois Wed. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bobo Olson risks his ‘Fighter of the Year” fame as well as his world middleweight title when he defends against France’s Pierre Langlois Wednesday in San Fran- cisco. Olson of course, still would be honored as the outstanding boxer of the year, win or lose, but a defeat would rub most of the luster off. As Bobo. is a 4-1 favorite, he may Bot be taking too much of a gamble. Still, Langlois is a rug- ged import with i unorthodox style who can trouble anybody, This will be Olson’s third de- fense of the championship he nailed down by defeating Britain’s Randy Turpin Last year. He whipped Kid Gavilan in Chicago, last 5) and got off the floor to outpéint Rocky Castellani in San Francigto Aug. 20.

They were Duquesne (No. 3), Iowa (No. 4), Holy Cross (No. 5), Niagara (No. 8) and Notre Dame (No. 9). Indiana (No. 6) was beaten earlier in the week. In addition, 1ith-ranked Okla- homa A&M was knocked off as were 12th-rated St.Louis, peren- nially powerful Western Kentucky, North Carolina, Fordham, Army, Texas Christian and San Fran- cisco. Duke, Penn State, Wake Forest and Kansas State also have been beaten, LS La Salle and Kentucky, one-two in last week’s AP poll, still were among the unbeatens but not be- fore they were handed real, honest- to-goodness scares. The Explorers, behind from the gpening whistle, were forced into overtime before eking out a 76-75 victory over Niagara. It took a desperation shot by Bob Maples with only six seconds left for La Salle to regis- ter its fourth triumph. Kentucky had its toughest game since it last was beaten, by St. John’s in 1952, edging Xavier of Ohio 73-69 for its 27th straight. The Wildcats led by only 70-69 with less than a minute remaining, Dayton and North Carolina State, ranked seventh and 10th respectively in the AP poll, im- proved their prospects with re- sounding victories, The Flyers of Ohio won their fourth in a row, burying Bowling Green 109-39, and the Wolfpack notched their fifth {straight with a 6653 win over Eastern Kentucky. The biggest shock was George Washington’s 71-64 annual Steel Bowl triumph over Duquesne, which admittedly Was handicapped by the absence of Si Green, its spectacular scorer. Green was out with an attack of appendicitis. Jie Holup led the Colonials with 26 points. Towa’s 97-94 loss to Missouri also came as a surprise since the Hawkeyes are favored to’ capture the Big Ten title. Indiana, Big Ten defending champion, whipped Notre Dame 73-70 Saturday to hand the Irish their first home defeat since Feb- ruary 1952. Holy Cross, rated one of the best teams in the East, was rocked by St. John’s of Brooklyn, blowing a 35-33 halftime lead to bow 93-73.
