C. Cagers COLUMBIA. S. C., Dec. 6 — rrar.k Johnson's University of South Carolina basketball quin tet will play a gruelling 21-game i schedule during the 1947-48 sea ton which includes 15 Southern j Conference feuds. The Birds, semi-finalists in j the Southern Conference tourna-1 ment held in Durham last year, | will make their hardwood debut j against the Newberry Indians here on December 15. By GIL SMITH Star-News Sports Editor Officials of the Wilmington Athletic Association, Inc., were this weekend awaiting an answer from the Professional Golfers’ Association relative to available dates for a proposed $10,000 golf tournament in Wil mington next fall, and it was | strongly indicated that a fai'ire i on the part of PGA to reply with speed would result in a plan to stage a sectional tourna ment here without the, golf as sociation’s blessing if necr essary. Alan Marshall, president of WAAI, last night was noncom mittal on the possibility of slat ing a sectional tournament, but said that the letter sent PGA’s tournament chairman, George Schnieter last Tuesday would probably be the last effort made locally to get some action from the pro golf group. He said the idea of a sectional tournament, possibly embrac ing Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina and Georgia had been talked by WAAI offi cials at their last meeting, but expressed the hope that Schnie ter would answer the local re quest favorably and make such a move unnecessary. With $12,500 pledged by WAAI stockholders, the sectional tour nament idea has merit if PGA finds it impossible to grant Wil mington dates for next fall. A meeting of all stockholders will probably be called to determine if all who pledged financial support will be willing to go along with the idea. For the past month WAAI has had only favorable reports from the PGA headquarters however. One letter said Wilmington’s re quest for tournament dates would be given full considera tion, and a phone conversation between Ed Dudley, president of the golfers, and one of WAAI officials was reported to have ended with verbal assurance by Dudley that the Port City would get a tournament in 1948, Since then however, the Chi cago offices of the pro golfing association have been silent concerning Wilmington’s bid for a contest.

KENTUCKY UPSETS VILLANOVA, 24-14 CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 6 (U.R) —The University of Kentucky put power and deception into a one-two punch that ripped Villa inova college of Philadelphia for | an upset 24 to 14 victory, in the : First Annual Great' Lakes bowl ; today in Municipal stadium. The meager crowd of 14,908, S lost in the confines of the vast Lakefronf bowl, saw a- bang-up game by two colleges that played as if it was the begin |ning of the football season rath er than the end. Sparkling line play by the Kentucky Wildcats, particularly [the pivotal work of Jay Rhode I rnyre of Ashland, Ky., All Southeastern Conference center |and tackle chores of Wash iSerini of Tuckahoe, N. Y., gave I the southerners a big edge over I the favored Main Liners. George B 1 a n d a, Young wood, Pa., quarterback, was a tower of strength for Kentucky and put his team ahead with a 27-yard field goal near the end of the first quarter. His stellar play was more than matched by i left half Bill Boiler of Beaver | Falls, Pa., who tallied two | touchdowns — both in the last i period, and tossed a pass for (the other one. j Bob Pilodor of Philadelphia | was outstanding for Villanova but was stymied by the stout Southern line. Kentucky made it 10-0 early in the third period when Boiler j passed to Jim Howe, Ft. Thom as, Ky., halfback, who scotted 129 yards to tally with an able I assist by Bill Moseley’s key block of the safety man. | The last period was a free 'scoring one, with each team racking up two touchdowns. Vil jlanova almost scored in the last | second of the third quarter, but the referee ruled the period had ended before the play started, and set them back on the 10 yard line.

Fisherman Calls Cast As Partner Catches 37-Pound Rainbow For New World Record By JACK ROTTIER NEA Special Correspondent COEUR D’ALENE, Ida. Dec. 6 —They’re juggling around the world trout fishing record on Idaho’s Panhandle, home of the famous fighting Kamloops rain bow. Behind it all is a boast that might compare with Babe Ruth pointing to the distant Wrigley Field bleachers and then swat ting the ball into it in the 1932 "'.fid Series. Before retired grocer Wes S. Hamlet and hardware dealer Anton Moen, both of Coeur d'Alene, went to Lake Pend Oreille just before the season dosed, the latter wrote a busi ness Jetter to Clinton Shepherd jof Rathdrum, Ida. Shepherd last May 1, opening day set a new world record by itaking an even W-pound Kam loops rainbow from Lake Pend Oreille. 1 Closing his letter, Moen twitted Shepherd with: “Hamlet and I are going to Pend Oreille tomorrow and spoil your world I record.” ! Much to Shepherd’s apparent chagrin. Hamlet and Moen did ijust that, subduing an even 37 ; pound Kamloops a mile out of .Garfield Bay, near Sandpoint, after a 15-minute tussle, while ! trolling from behind an out ! board motor. The new record ! trout measured 40 1-2 inches in I length, 28 in girth. Hat tonal Glothiers, Snc. Attractive Useful Gifts For Men 219 So.

The whopper made one big leap about 100 feet from the boat, when Moen remarked: “We’ll have the biggest fish in the lake if we can land him.” Two more short runs and the record- wrecker was brought to gaff. Hamlet caught his prize on a Montague rod,, fishing with *00 feet of Nylon 40-pound surface test line. A Martin silver streak lure tricked the daddy of ’enk all. For Hamlet, his 13th quest of Kamloops at Lake Pend Oreille was charmed. He drew blanks on 12 previous sorties f o r big ones. Moen has caught several whoppers, his biggest being a 28 1-2-pounder last season. Clinton Shepherd’s record fish was sent to President Truman. Hamlet’s was o f f i c ially v/eighed in at Garfield Bay, and excitement g r i p p ed Coeur d’Alene as the big fish was shown at Moen’s store before it was taken to Sandpoint for an other round of pictures. Wes Hamlet won $500 in prizes in a Sandpoint contest for catch ing the largest trout at Pend Oreille Lake this year. That’s a big assignment, for this is the fourth world record trout taken from the big north Idaho fresh water lake in three years.

North Carolina Soccer Men Try For Olympics ANNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 6 — Thirty-six soccer players from colleges in Maryland, Vir ginia and North Carolina collab orated in almost two hours of fast action on Lawrence field to day in the first Southern District tryout for United States Olympic team berths.

E. Paul Patton of Philadel phia, secretary-treasurer of the Intercollegiate Soccer Football association, said after the long workout in chilly weather that further sessions probably would be held before an 18-man squad is chosen to represent the South ern district. The collegians finally tabbed will engage a squad of amateur soccer players to determine the district’s entry in subsequent regional eliminations.

DIAL 5043 By HARRY GRAYSON I NEA Sports Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 6 (NEA.) j —Wesley Fesler wants it known that he isn’t picking Michigan to defeat Southern California in the Pasadena Rose Bowl, Jan. 1, but admits that a Wolverine victory wouldn’t surprise him. j Coach Fesler is in a better po sition than anyone else to judge. His Ohio State squad was the only one to tackle both sides, was belted by Southern Califor nia, 32-0, Oct. 11, and by Mich igan, 21-0, Noy. 22. Simple arithmetic would indi cate Southern California is 11 points superior, but not to the Ohio State All-America end of 1928 and ‘30.' ‘We fell behind early in the : Southern California game, then took costly chances that pre sented the Trojans with scoring opportunities they ordinarily would not have had,” he says. ‘'Ohio State was at its peak against Michigan, and the Wol verines won on superior agility, passing and speed.” Fesler points out that the types of play employed by Mich igan and Southren California are as different as night and day. “Michigan Uses the single wing, depends primarily on its speed, timing and deception for offensive effectiveness,” he ex plains. “Southern California is a T formation team, and the basis of its success is quick opening thrusts.’’ Fesler opines Michigan will enjoy an edge in speed and ver I satility of attack, but adds, cau ! tiously, that Ann Arbor has a | scrap on his hands. He is posi i tive that there will be nothing ; easy about it. Notre Dame went to the Southern California game for a battle of T teams. There again it was a battle of i lines. Once again on New Year’s Day, Southern California’s chances will hinge on whether it has the superior defensive line. While the Irish did not have an opportunity to prove it, Notre Dame perhaps has a margin on the Michigan line and more overall speed. That goes even with Terry Brennan and John Panelli benched by knee in juries. Frank Leahy has other remarkable backs to take up the slack. There is a general cry for younger football officials. The college game could well use some young fellows who can move around. Too many of the old boys are back year after , year. Eastern college officiating ■ was pretty bad this fall. j The ridiculous rule prohibiting i Lewis Rare 3-Sport Star At High School POLICE GAZETTE TERMS WALCOTT WORLD CHAMPION NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—W—The National Police Gazette, the ar biter of boxing back in the days of John L. Sullivan, announced in a statement tonight it was withdrawing recognition of Joe Louis as world heavyweight boxing champion and recogniz ing Jersey Joe Walcott. H. H. Roswell, publisher, said a champiouship “Belonged to any challenger when he demonstrat ed decisive superiority.” Walcott scored two knock downs to none for Louis, He was in better shape at the finish. There is no logical reason Louis should be continued in title recognition.” Roswell derided the decision, calling it the “Worst and most costly boner pulled in boxing.” and he also characterized the scoring system instituted by Vew York boxing commission' Ed die Eagan as “Eagan’s folly.” “I am convinced Eagan should resign,” Roswell said. “He has faced one crisis afttr another— the Graziano case, the Fox La Motta fight—and has failed each time to correct the abuses and injustices done to the sport public.” Wolf pack Smashes High Point By 78-42 HIGH POINT, Dec. 6 —M>)— | Paced offensively by the 24-point ’shooting of center Harvath, the N.

Optometry means literally, eye measuring. By GENE WARREN Star News Sports Writer Injuries in football have kill ed the hopes of many athletes in other sports fields—such as basketball, tennis, golf, hockey, swimming, baseball. For that reason certain players, who are especially good at one sport but j only fair at another,are not al-1 lowed to participate in all sports. Take W. A. Brown, Toddy Fennell, and Louis Collie for in stance. They are all excellent basketball and baseball players, and have proven against scrub opposition that they can handle themselves pretty well on the gridion. Fennell was first string quarterback at Hemenway dur ing his grammar schools veat; Collie not only made the Tiles ton grammar school club, but also starred as a end on one of the New Hanover High school junior varsity teams; Brown, handling the passing roles in Saturday touch games, has ex hibited the touch of an excellent T-quarterback. Yet Coach Leon Brogden knows these boys are too small for football. Brown weights around 130 pounds, Fennell 155, and Collie 140. Brogden’s slogan is why risk boys who are essen tial to his basketball and base ball plans in football? But there are three-letter men who are risked by Borgden. The most notable of the crew is Bob Lewis, an alternate at left end on the football team; a top prospect for center in basket ball; and the likely fellow' to step into Dunk Futrelle’s shoes at first base in baseball. Lewis stands six feet, two and one-half inches tall, and tips the scales for the three sports at size for the three big sports at NHHS. But a twist of fate—an arm injury—may greatly hamper the Brilliant athletic future for Lewis. Against Rocky Mount in October Lew'is’s right wing v.'as battered in a pileup, and has not been the same since. A hard knot has arisen just above Bob’s elbow a n d is affecting his basketball playing to a slight de gree. What it will do in baseball is the big question mark for Lew'is and Brogden. Brogden has told Lewis that he expects the injury to heal by next summer. If so the tall NHHS athlete may gain recog nition enough to receive an ath letic scholarship to his favorite 'school, the University of North | Carolina.
