SECTION 2 SPORTS THE COURIERJOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4, 1952. FOOTBALL 'Bama Smacks Miami 21-7 Miami, Oct. 3 (AP) Alabama's hard-charging backs Bobby Marlow, Tommy Lewis and Bobby Luna carried the Crimson Tide to a smashing 21-7 victory over the youthful but highly regarded Miami Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl tonight. The game was rated a tossup Male Eclipses Atherton 27-18 on Kessinger's Run oooDies Dy piaying a ieauiii ioib in the Alabama attack and scoring the tying and winning touchdowns, both on one-yard smashes through a Miami line that just couldn't cope with the speed of the Tide runner. Fern Creek Turns Back Valley 14-0 By IKE STETTER Courier-Journal Correspondent Fern Creek registered a mild upset tonight by overpowering Valley 14-0 at the Creeker's field.

Fern Creek scored in the first quarter and added the clincher in the final period. Fine blocking enabled the victors to march 79 yards for a touchdown in the opening stanza. The attack began -when the Creekers recovered a fumble on their own 21. On a series of end-around plays, Dave Denunzio and from Dohrman on Kessinger, went all the way. Rigby's kick barely got off the ground and was easily blocked.

Atherton completely blanketed the Male passing attack in the second half. The Rebels checked the Purple ends effectively and rushed Kuhn more aggressively. As a result Kuhn failed to connect on any of his five passes. Except for Kessinger's explosive run, the Purples picked up only 23 yards rushing in the second half and made only one first down. The Rebels blew a chance on the Male 21 midway in the third chapter when three passes went Alabama 0 7 7 721 Miami 0 7 0 0 Alabama scoring: Touchdowns Marlow 2, Tharp.

Conversion Grossman. but Alabama's rugged forces convinced 53,916 fans the biggest football crowd in the South this season that the new Miami team with its many freshmen and sophomores is still a year away from the big time. After spotting the Hurricanes a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter, the Tide's attack troops took charge.

They tied the game before half-time and swept to the front in the third period, while their defense held Miami safely in check. Fumble Away 2 T.D.'s Marlow fumbled away two more Alabama touchdown opportunities, losing the ball once hen the Tide stood just 12 inches from the Hurricane goal with a first down. But Marlow made up for his FV fsi ECIAL i I Southern trill meet Tilghman at Paducah tonight. It teas reported erroneously yesterday that the game teas scheduled last night. State Horse-Show Building for naught.

They brooked no denial late in the quarter, though, as they stabbed 52 yards for their second marker. Short punches by Rigby, Dalton and Gary Westerman moved the Maroons to the Male 24 in six plays. Dohrman fired to big Charley Tyra for 12 more and Larry Caudill ended the thrust with a 14-yard bull charge up the middle. Rigby's kick again was smothered but the Rebels were on the move. 15th In Row For Male Passes from Dohrman to Charley Phillips and Phil Nicholas carried Atherton to the Male 29 early in the final frame but the threat melted when a fourth down pass by Prather Nicholas missed its target.

The Rebs were back knocking on the door a few minutes later and this time crossed the threshold. A 35-yard puht return by Rigby established a toe-hold on the Male 30. Dohrman whipped a pass to Phil Nicholas on the Male 11 and followed it with another strike to Phillips in the end zone. Rigby attempted to run the extra point but was steam-rollered by Dave Kuhn. The Rebs trailed only 20-18 with four minutes left.

Kessinger pulled the rug from under Atherton on the first play after the kickof He look a hand-off to the outside and found the way clear w-hen Bob Barlow cut down the halfback. It appeared that the Rebel defense wasn't quite set as two substitutes were shuffling around when the play started. Kessinger closed out the scoring with an accurate boot. The victory was the 15th in a row for the Purples, who tangle with Flaget next Saturday in a game that could decide both city and state championships. The loss was the first for Atherton.

Harold (Red) Keene hustled Fine Fiddle home a length-and-a-ciuarter ahead of Colonel Hoop in the six-furlong event, while Emerald finished third. Fine Fiddle, the favorite in a field of nine, paid $4.40 for S2 after sprinting the distance in 1:10 3 5. 133 By JOHNNY CARRICO Make one mistake against Ted Kessinger and he'll run down your throat. Atherton learned that galling lesson last night as "Twinkling Ted" broke off a searing 64-yard dash in the final quarter to lead Male to a thrilling 27-18 victory over the Rebels at Maxwell Field. The Maroons dispelled any doubt that they can move in the elite football circles here when they had the state champions on the ropes with four minutes to go.

Male had blown a 20-0 lead and was wobbling leading only 20-18. Then Kessinger brought the sagging Purples upright again with his back-breaking spin. Male seemed headed for a runaway when the brilliant Kenny Kuhn pitched the Purples into a 20-0 lead in the second quarter. The Rebels, however, refused to concede and they swept the Purples off their feet in the second half. Kuhn Hits Sizemore After a first quarter spent in sparring, Male scored quickly in the second.

Kessinger intercepted a throw by Howard Dohrman on the Atherton 35. Kuhn found Jack Sizemore behind Roger Dal-ton and hit him with a touchdown pass. Kessinger booted Male into a 7-0 lead. The Purples struck 64 yards for the next one only minutes later. Kuhn threw 18 yards to Jim Hyman and 16 more to Sizemore to the Atherton 20.

Another 16-yard fling to Hyman placed the Purples on the four, from where Kessinger banged over through right tackle. Kessinger's kick was wide. Another pass interception, this time by Sizemore with an assist from Doug Slayton, started off the third tally. A clipping penalty cost the Purples 15 yards to their 35 but Kuhn regained the ground with a toss to Sizemore to the Rebel 41. From a- double wing Kuhn tagged Sizemore again on the Atherton 18.

Two passes went astray before Kuhn fired to Hyman who took the ball away from Dohrman to score. Kessinger's kick was good for a 20-0 margin. Rigby Races 85 Yards The next play virtually was the turning point of the game. Jack Rigby embraced Kessinger's kick- Courier-Journal Photo ON HIS WAY Male's Jack Sizemore gained 22 yards on this pass from Kenny Kuhn in the second quarter of last night's game with Atherton at Maxwell Field. Chasing him was the Rebels' Howard Dohrman (40).

Male won 27-18. STU 5l LJ Id Marvin Wenz carried the ball to the Valley five where Denunzio scored on a sneak Woody Richardson made it 7-0 on the same type play. Neither team made any serious threats in the second or third periods as the defenses stiffened. Richardson Scored Late in the final quarter, Richardson put the game on ice when he raced around left end for seven yards and a touchdown. Richardson also converted.

Denunzio, Wenz, and Richardson were the big ground gainers but the Fern Creek line was even more outstanding by providing some sharp blocking. Jerry Nichols; Sherwood Bur-ress, and Tom Hodge are to be commended for their fine defensive work for the Vikings. Score by quarters: Fern Creek 7 714 Valley 0 0 0 00 7 TO A FINISH 1 OR 10 FALLS! ONE MUST GIVE UP Scales' Kick Gives K.M.I. 7-6 Victory McNabb Gets Touchdown For Losing Beechwood The accurate toe of fullback Joe Scales gave K.M.I, a 7-6 decision over Beechwood yesterday afternoon at Lyndon. The victory was the second for John "Rabbit" Pace's Cadets in three starts.

Scales booted a placement squarely in the third quarter that provided the margin of victory. He also scored K.M.I.'s lone touchdown. After the Cadets threatened twice in the first quarter before being turned back on the Beechwood 23 and the 10, K.M.I, rammed across a marker in the third period. The drive started on the Cadet 18 and moved 29 yards when Jay Stevens took -a handoff to the Soldiers' 47. Another handoff, this time to Scales, set them on the Beechwood 21.

Scales and Stevens alternated in line plunges until Scales smashed over from the ten. Pass Was Intercepted Late in the third the Beechies drove to the K.M.I, four but a pass interception halted the march. After a short K.M.I, punt gave them the ball on the Cadet 33, Allen Foster sped 18 yards to the 15. McNabb scored there on a line plunge.
