Maryland, which will meet
Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl at

Wolfson said the Gator Bowl is
sold out for the first time in its
history.
When he announced Miami’s ac
ceptance of the Gator Bowl bid
last week, Wolfson said a capacity
crowd would mean $60,000 for
each team. The bowl seats about
37,000 but officials plan construc
tion of temporary bleachers to add
about 3,000.
Clemson has a 7-2 record this
season. It defeated Auburn last
Saturday, 34-0. Miami, with two
games left on its regular schedule,
has won six and lost two.
Dick Raber Singled Out
As Fine Ball Carrier
BY DAN MAGILL, JR.
Richard Edwin Raber is
one of the most underrated
fullbacks in the Southeast
ern Conference, says Wal
lace Butts.
In addition to being a terrific
blocker on Georgia's pass offense
that is leading the conference, Ra
ber is considered the hardest run
ning back on the squad, He has
a fine average of 4.4 yards per
carry, having rushed 89 times for
a net gain of 375 yards.
Raber came to the Bulldogs as
a freshman in 1948 after starring
as a tailback at Altoona, Pa. He
had a fine freshman record, steal
ing the show with his powerful
plunging in the freshman game
against Georgia Tech’s Baby Jack
ets at Grant Field. ;
But the next two seasons Raber
suffered from two knee injuries,
one a reinjury to a high school
mishap and the other a new one.
He was able to rush only 28 times
for a gain of 127 yards as a sopho
more (4.5 yard average) playing
right half in 1949. Last year he
was limited tc 29 carries for 71
yards (2.4 yard average) playing
right half and fullback.
This year the 200-pound Dutch
man has carried the ball more
times than any other Bulldog
back: 89 and has the second best
average of the regulars: 4.4 yards
per rush as compared to Lauren
Hargrove’s fine 4.9 yards per rush.
“Raber has really helped us this
season,” says Coach Butts. “He is
one of the best competitors we
have had, too. He is one of the
most determined runners we have
had at Georgia.”
Baseball Hot
Stove League
.
Comes To Life
By RALPH RODEN
1 NEW YORK, Nov. 28 — (AP)—
| Baseball’s hot stove league has
i begun to show signs of life now
| that the college football season is
| nearly over. .
Those two live wire magnates,
Frank Lane of the Chicago White
|Sox and Bill Veech of the St.
| Louis Browns, stirred up the fires
in the battered stove yesterday
with an eight-man deal.
Trade
The White Sox shipped first
baseman Gordon Goldberry, out
fielder Jim Rivera, pitcher Dick
Littlefield. catcher Gus Niarhos
and infeilder Joe De Maestri to the
Browns for catcher Sherm Lollar,
!pitcher Al Widmar and stortstop
ommy Upton. Later, the White
x traded Upton to the Washing
ton Senators for infielder Sam
Dente.
Lollar, also desired by the Bos
ton Red Sox, was the man the
White Sox wanted most. Lane in
. timated that the hard-hitting Lol
|lar would greatly improve Chic
ago’s chances of bettering last sea~
son’s fourth place finish.
The Browns were glad to land
Rivera the Pacific Coast League’s
most valuable player. Rivera play
ed for Brownie Manager Rogers
Hornsby at Seattle last year.
Hornsby said, “He’s the only
player in all baseball today that
I'd buy a $2.00 box seat to watch
play.”
Others figuring in the baseball
news yesterday were Lefty O’Doul,
Marty Marion, John W. Galbreath
and Fred Saigh.
O’Doul, former National League
batting champion, was signed to
manager San Diego of the Pacific
Coast League. O‘Doul manager of
San Francisco for the past 17 sea=
sons, replaces former Detroit Tiger
manager Del Baker at the padre
helm.
Marion, released as manager of
the St. Louis Cardinals this week,
was considering player-coach of
fers from the Browns and Boston
| Braves.
l Narrowed To Three
Saigh, owner of the Cardinals,
said the search for a new manager
had narrowed to three men. One
of the prospects reportedly is Ed
[Stanky, second baseman of the
New York Giants.
Galbreath, president of the
| Pittsburgh Pirates, denied rumors
Los a rift among the owners of the
! club. “We're going to sink or swim
| with Branch Rickey,” Galbreath
] said. Rickey is the club’s General
‘Manager. Reports said co-owners
| Tom Johnson and Bing Crosby
| were miffed over a loss of $300,000
‘[ the past season.

Path Cleared For Birth
Of Another Major League
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—(AP)~The path was cleared today for
the birth of another major baseball league. At the same time, the
door was closed to any individual city wishing to crash the big
leagues. ’
A new method of application for major league status wa: rec
ommended by the Major League Executive Council. The recom
mendation came as the Council acted on a proposal made by the
special committee named to study' the Pacific Coast League’s re
quest {or a change in classification.
© It specifies that applications can be made only by a group of
eight clubs mutually agreeing to all requirements,
This proposal must receive a majority vote among the big league
owners at the major league convention next week for ratification.

State Championshi
Tilts Set Saturday
BY MERRITT POUND, JR.
Five state championship gridiron struggles, so to speak,
will be played among Southeastern Conference foothall
teams Saturday with the most prominent and the most
strategic being fought here in the Empire State.
Georgia and Georgia Tech will
be vieing for the mythical Peach
State title in a game that could
decide the SEC winner. A Tech
victory would assure the Jackets
of the conference crown but a
Georgia triumph could easily sw
ing the championship in the direc
tion of the nation’s number one
football machine, the Tennessee
Volunteers. Tech and General
Neyland’s boys are both unde
feated in league competition, but
the Engineers have played one
more loop game than Tennessee.
And on that basis, § Tech beats
Georgia, the Jackets would be the
conference kings even if the Vols
})eat Vanderbilt which seems like
y.
The Vol-Commodore formality
can also be classified as a state
championship contest, with the
Knoxville boys expected to take
the Volunteer State title as well as
the national crown.
Probably one of the best of the
intra-state pigskin wars will be
the Ole Miss-Mississippi State
clash in Starkville. Both squads
have been potent at times with
the Rebs most decisive win coming
over the Cotton Bowl-bound Ken
tucky Wildcats. The Maroons de
feated Georgia in an early season
encounter, 6 to 0.
L. S. U’s Bengal Tigers are
favorites to win the Bayou title
against Tulane Saturday. L. S. U.
and Tulane have both been migh
ty of late; the Tigers dropping Mis
sissippi State and Villanova on
successive weekends and the
Greenies upsetting Vanderbilt and
eliminating SE Louisiana from the
state title picture.
Alabama and Auburn square off
at Tuscaloosa in a game that will
be hard forsthe experts to pick.
Auburn, an early season sensation
that has been bombarded in its
last three outings is as unpredic
table as they come, while the Tide
has been up and down all year
long. This game will decide the
wearer of the Alabama state pig
skin crown.

Judge Streit
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28 —
(AP)—Dr. Harry C. Byrd, presi=-
dent of the University of Mary
land, says New York Judge Saul
Streit overstepped judicial bounds
in his recent criticism of big time
college sports. .
“Most of the criticism we hear
of college football is inexcusable,”
Dr. Byrd asserted last night in an
address at a dinner celebrating the
75th anniversary of football at
the University of Pennsylvania.
“Some of it comes from coaches
lvvho blame losing seasons on the
- argument other. schools can afford
better material. Some comes from
uninformed persons—the consci
‘entious but ignorant,
~ “And criticism from New York
came from a judge who exceeded
judicial ethics in departing from
| the subject of his work in blasting
a sport not on trial.” °*
Judge Streit let fly at what he
called sordid rackets in college
sports when he imposed sentence
on basketball players and other
defendants in the notorious brib
ery cases.
About 1,000 alumni attending
the banquet cheered Bob Evans,
215 pound negro tackle, who yes
terday was elected captain of
Penn’s 1952 football team. It was
the first time in the 75-year his
tory of Penn’s football team that a
negro was named captain., Evans
is a Philadelphian.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28 — (AP) —

champion Kid Gavilan, the flashy
Cuban, meet in a non-title ten
rounder in Chicago Statium to

The odds makers have made
Gavilan a 3-1 favorite.

Drake Quits
Mo. Valley
Conference
DES MOINES, Nov, 28— (AP)~—
Drake University ended its 43-
year-old Missouri Valley Confer
ence membership last night, and
Bradley University quickly indi
cated it may follow suit.
The Drake Athletic Council said
it took its action because of the
“refusal of the conference o in
vestigate the assault upon John
Bright in the Drake-Oklahoma A.
& M. football game at Stillwater,
Oct. 20.”
Broken Jaw
Bright suffered a broken jaw
in the early minutes of the game,
which Oklahoma A & M won, 27-
14. Drake officials after viewing
pictures of the game charged
Bright was the victim of at least
three “vicious and premeditated”
attacks by Aggle Guard Wilbank"
Smith.
Drake in its action last night
also cut off athletic relations with
Oklahoma A. & M., effective at
once. The Council said it was
asking Aggie officials to cancel
contracts for two basketball games
between the two schools this sea=-
son.
President David Owen of Brad
ley said at Peoria, 111., he would
recommend to his faculty athletic
committee that it follow Drake’s
lead in withdrawing from the con
ference. The committee meets
today.
Drake protested to the confer
ence shortly after the A & M
game. But conference presidents
and faculty representatives said
after a meeting in St. Louis last
Wednesday that the conference
“holds no power to take discipli
nary action against an individual
player.” The group added that it
contemplated no further action in
the Bright case.
In Stillwater, Aggie Athletic Di
rector Henry Iba declined com
ment on the Drake action. He said
he had not been officially notified
of it.
Conference Commissioner Art
Eilers in St. Louis expressed re
gret over Drake’s withdrawal.
Jaw Reinjured
At the time Bright was injured
he was well on his way to his
third straight national total of
fense title, He played in only one
more game—against Great Lakes—
after he was hurt. His jaw was
reinjured in that game and his
collegiate career was finished.
During his career Bright piled
up 5,903 yards in total offense.
Auburn Cage
Team Whips
Troy, 83-58
AUBURN, Ala, Uov. 28 — (AP)
— The Auburn Tigers showed
some bright young sophomores in
downing Troy (Ala.) State Teach
ers, 83-58 in their opening basket
ball game of the season last night.
Forward Roger Weldon was the
only senior in the starting lineup
and he was forced to yield honors
to two newcomers, forward Bill
Fickling and guard Inman Veal.
Both sank 15 points in tying-for
scoring honors.
Another sophomore, center Bob
Senn, tallied 13 points. Kirby
Knox, 5-foot, 8-inch Troy guard
topped the losers with 13 also.
Auburn moved out to a 10-0 lead
and was ahead by 39-29 at the half.
Troy narrowed it to 41-37 im
mediately after the intermission.
‘With the score 48-44 a few minutes
later Auburn began hitting the
basket and pulled quickly away.
Vandy Readies For
Volunteer Assault
By The Associated Press
Vanderbilt is working furiously to strengthen its defen
sive platoon, and if ever a team needed a stout defense
Vandy will need it Saturday when it goes up against thoss
terrific Tennessee Vols.
Defense has been a weak spot
for the Commaodores all season and
Coach Bill Edwards had his boys
hustling yesterday in a tough drill
designed to plug some ot the leaks.
Not For Granted
Coach Bob Neyland isn’t taking
things for granted, however. He
put the Vols through a stiff two
hour workout in rain, sleet and
snow, Offensive and defensive
units ran top-speed scrimmages.
The Vols probably will use about
the same tactics against Vandy's
passer Bill Wade as they used Sat
urday to stop Kentucky's Babe
Parilli, s
Zeke Bratkowski tested his
offense and pass defense high
lighted a long drill at Mississippi
State. Coach Slick Morton said no
scrimmages will be held this week
in an effort to keep injuries at a
minimum for the game with Miss~
issippi.
_ Frank Branch at quarterback,
Zerk Williams and Wally Beach
at half and Bill Stewart at full
macde up the Maroons’ first string
backfield.
Mississippi concentrated on its
aerial game, with Quarterbacks
Jimmy Lear and Rocky Ford do
ing most of the throwing. The de~
fensive unit worked on stopping
passes. Reggie Ott, a stubby jun
ior, was put into the halfback slot
left vacant by the injured Harold
Lofton.
Practice at Alabama was re
stricted to dummy scrimmage in
an effort to keep down injuries.
Passing Quarterback Clell Hob
son, whose ankle was hurt in the
Florida game, showed up for the
workout but did no running.
Quarterback Bobby Duke and
Fullback Fred Dugin, both fresh
men, ran with Bimbo Melton and
Bobby Marlow in the first string
backfield.
Auburn, the Crimson Tide’s op
ponent Saturday, scrimmaged be
hind locked gates. Herman How
ard, a sophomore fullback, and
backs Charles Hataway, Robert
Duke, Charles Littles and Rigas
Coptsias turned in good perfor
mances. Coach Ralph Jordan also
had praise for tackles Gene Mul
hall and Bill Turnbeaugh.
Secret practice was the order of
the day at Tulane, too. The Green
ies tangle Saturday with Louis
iana State. On the bright side,
was the excellent offensive work
of Bobby Saia and Roy Bailey.
Tulane has a long list of injured
regulars.
