Tour LONDON. Nov. 7 UP) Officials of London's ace soccer team. Tottenham Hotspurs, are seriously considering an invitation from the American Soccer League to make a spring tour of the United States. "We aren't in a position to say muchc right now," an official explained, "but we are discussing, the' invitation." The tour would closely follow the end of the English soccer season in early May.

The team would be in the United States for five or six weeks. Two years ago the "Spurs" made a short tour of Canada and the United States. Easy Stakes Win As He Triumphs In $50,000 Empire Handicap Over 11 Sophomore Foes NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (UP) Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Find, ably replacing the retired Native Dancer in the closing days of the season, scored his third consecutive stakes victory today when he won the $50,000 tdded Empire City Handicap at Jamaica.

The gelded son of Discovery who has been out of the money only once in 14 races this year, beat 11 three-year-old rivals to the first turn and still was in front at the end of a mile and three-sixteenths as he scampered under the wire a half a length in front of Valley Farm's Impasse. There was a three-length gap back to H. L. Nathenson's Guy. Find, winner of the Ohio Derby and the Grey Lag Handicap In his last two outings, opened up a lead of almost three lengths on the backstretch and that comfortable margin was enough to get him home safely even though he began to tire near the end.

It was a cold miserable day but a crowd of 20,507 showed up. They made Find their favorite despite his top weight of 126 pounds and cheered him home to a $5.40, $3.50, $3.10 payoff. Victory was worth $40,450, raising Find's earnings for the year to $125,379. The colt who did not race as a two -year -old was ridden by jockey Eric Guerin who got him home in 1:58 over the sloppy track. Impasse made a bold challenge in the stretch but he just couldn't overtake the winner despite jockey Charlie O'Brien's best efforts.

He paid $3.80 and $3.30 while Guy, grouped in the mutuel field with Count Cavour, paid $11.30. Joe Jones was fourth, followed by Dictar, First Air, Fresh Meadow, Open Show, Buck 'N Gee, Count Cavour and Toulouse. PLAY IN TWIN-BILL TODAY Fullback Dick Hynes of St. Xavier, left, and tackle Dick Loechtenfeldt of Elder will see plenty of action today in the Greater Cincinnati League's double-header at Xavier Stadium. Undefeated Purcell will meet St.

Xavier in the opener at 1 p. m. and Roger Bacon plays Elder in the nightcap. jecture. True, he has been box ing professionally for 11 years, but he won't be 28 until January.

Some contend Gavilan has been leading the life of Riley and hasn't been in the best of physical condition for some of his matches. This might be the answer, because the Kid shouldn't be skidding when he still has to reach his 80th milestone. But if he has been burning the candle at both ends he will eventually have to pay the penalty. Harry Greb, the great middle-wegiht of another era, is the only fighter we know of who could beat that virtually invincible foe. But there was only one Greb.

SPEAKING OF middleweights. there has been a lot of discussion concerning Olson since he whipped Turpin to go to the head of the 160-pound class. So far there has been no trend to go completely overboard on the Hawaii-born scrapper. Olson's failure te put the Britisher away, despite the fact he hit Turpin with everything but the lights over the ring when he had Randy on the ropes, has de- traeted from Bobo's triumph. Xnus it established that Olson Is not too much of a puncher, and a fighter who doesn't hit with KO power Isn't likely to gain high esteem with the ring fans.

However, Olson can do everything else. He can box, punches rapidly if not hard, is a good ring general and there can be no question as to his courage. For this reason it will take a real good fighter to beat hiim the extent of knocking down Ten Pin Topics by Don De LOTELL out and he rolled around left end for a touchdown before the game was a minute old. Joe Terrasi kicked the point After the second half kickoff BU could move only six yards and Lou Petroka's punt carried only to the Bl? 30. Two tunning plays lost five yards before Jolie passed to Hettinger on the 10 and he tampered over unmolested.

On the closing play of the third period Joe Har ri ton made an amazing one-handed terception to give Holy Cross possession on the T3U 46. After Pete Bjocca and Bill Haley smashed the BU line for a first down to the 33, Jolie fed a pass' to Halev and interfmW. called on Tom Gaskill on the BUv 4. The ensuing -Terrier protest cost them a penalty to the 1- yard line. Jolie bucked over on a second try t.

Just follow the crowd, because that's where the Greater Cincinnati League will hold its annual double-header. The classic, which is the 22nd In the league's history, will feature all four teams, Purcell, Elder, Roger Bacon and St.

Xavier. A crowd of 12,000 is expected. Undefeated Purcell will meet St. Xavier in the opener at 1 o'clock and Elder plays Roger Bacon in the following contest. Regardless of the past records of the teams, the double-headers have always been closely contested affairs.

Purcell, which Is ranked fifth Jn the state, will be shooting for its eighth straight season victory and second league win. The Cavaliers haven't been beaten In a league double-header Mnce 1943, when Elder dumped them 12-6. Purcell leads the league in total double header victories with 11. The Cavaliers have lost eight and tied two games. Elder is second with 10-9-2, Roger Bacon is third with 10-8-3 and St.

Xavier last with 7-13-1. LIMA LEADS ATTACK Purcell's offense is headed by Its bruising fullback, Chuck Lima, who has scored 15 touchdowns this season. He is paired with quarterback Jim O'Brien, halfbacks Pat Healey and John Paola. Halfbacks Stan Clark and Bob Carr also will be on hand to back up the Cavaliers' first line of offense. St.

Xavier, which has the unenviable task of taking on the Purcell powerhouse, has captured three victories in seven games this season, their best year since 1949. Coach Tom Ballaban will probably start Paul (Ringer) Reiner-man at quarterback, Kenny Lohr and Joe Schlager at halfbacks and Dick Hynes at fullback. Purcell has turned bark Newport Catholic, Central, Wlthrow, Western Hills, Hamilton public, Louisville Male and Roger Bacon in' that order to account for Its seven straight victories this season. The Bombers hold tvlns over Hamilton Catholic, Central and Newport Catholic, while losing to Wlthrow, Hughes, Covington Holmes and Elder. The Cavaliers will be favored to defeat the Bombers by at least four touchdowns, The second half of the twin-bill, featuring Roger Bacon and Elder, should turn out to be the best offering of the afternoon.

INJURIES HURT ELDER Elder, which has been plagued by injuries all season, still will be minus several defensive men. However, they will have Dick Loechtenfeldt back at tackle and possibly guard Gus Cianciola. Roger Wolf, Tony Conte and Bernie Richter are still on the doubtful list. Coach Virg Scardina will start Dick Selcer at quarterback, Paul Kelly and Frank Birri at half backs and Bob Geiser at fullback. The Panthers have a 3-4 slate this season.

Elder holds decision over Chillicothe, Deer Park and St. Xavier. The Panthers have lost to Hamilton Public, Dayton Chaminade, Mansfield and Louisville Flaget. Roger Baeon, which was massacred by Purcell, 63-0, last week, will try to recover some of its prestige with a victory over the Panthers. Couth Joe Luchl, successor to Walter Ornella, who resigned following the Pureell de-the first time.

Roger Bacon's head basketball coach, is expected to have Phil Collins or Mike McMahon at quarterback, Sam Lynd and Frank Weyer at halfbacks and Jim Fisher at fullback.

it is every memoer 01 a league 10 see that the ABC sanction application has been properly filled out and sent to Art Bludau, secretary of the Cincinnati Bowling Association. Bowlers generally leave all these details to the league secretary, and this sometimes leads to trouble, unless the league officers are on the ball and apply for the sanction before it is too late. If you haven't received an ABC membership card, ask your aecretary If the league Is sanctioned. Many times, ABC bowlers are members of "unsanctinned' leagues and don't know It. This is contrary to all ABC regulations.

Bowlers who continue to bowl In an unsanctioned league after being warnfd by the city secretary are subject to suspen-nlon.
