(AP) Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Winchester, putting on steam down the home-stretch, won the $10,000 Miami open goif tournament today with a 72-hole score of 275, five under par, one stroke in front of Henry Picard of Hershey, Pa. Picard, meeting par on the last two holes to tie, bogied the 17th and took a two-under-par for a total of 276,.

Works Surprise The day's greatest surprise, however, came in the amateur ranks when Chick Harbert of Battle Creek, scored a 66, -equalling the low todrnament score, to take honors in his division with a 296 total.

Bob Servis, Dayton, Ohio, finished four strokes back of Harbert with a 74 for a 300. It would have been a hearU breaker for McSpaden had he lost.

Four times on the front nine he missed putts of five feet and less as the balls stopped on the lip of the cup. He round- ATLANTA, Dec.

18. UP) Recognizing the difficulty of enforcing uniformly legislation to curb proselyting and scholarships, the South's major athletic conferences have taken off the wraps with the Idea of allowing each Individual school to row its own boat. There was a time when the four organizations of this section had strict limitations and attempted to enforce them. One by one, they began a liberalization campaign and now "subterfuge" which they agreed could not be checked has been brought out into the open. Warner Suggestion The trend taken by Southern athletic officials follows almost to the letter a conclusion advanced Friday by Glenn S.

(Pop) Warner, a veteran of 44 years coaching whose long association with sports led him to suggest that athletes be given financial assistance openly. Warner thinks the whole question of financial aid eventually should be worked out on a national or sectional scale. "Such matters," he said, "eventually work out the way the public feels about them. The popular opinion now seems to be that the boys ought to be helped." His views' coincided almost in whole with the stands taken by the Southeastern and Southern Conferences, the South's two larger athletic organizations, the Dixie Conference, and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the latter representing 36 smaller schools. The Southern Conference, comprising schools in Maryland, Vir ginia and the Carolinas, adopted in 1936, the so-called "Graham Plan" to be de-emphasized football.

Since then it has steadily liberalized stringent regulations embodied in the original plan. Tossed Out Just a week ago the Southern revised the rule to eliminate a scholarship clause open to which was designed to prevent faculty members from considering athletic ability in aiding students. Elsewhere the trend has taken almost the same tone. Carnegie Tech of Pittsburgh has issued an open welcome of alumni aid as an expression of sentiment In the East, although the University of Pittsburgh and most of the major schools continue to adhere to "puritan" standards. The oldest Southern group, the SIAA, which has its members in ten States, let down the bars without debate.

The association was presented an amendment at its meeting in Atlanta Friday to eliminate from its by-laws a paragraph that prevented assistance. The paragraph, described by an SIAA official as "a rule that can ea me lurn in Jb, going over par at the ninth where a four footer failed to drop, Then McSpaden, who had been out of the limelight for several years, showed the boys they were wrong when they said he wasn't a stretch runner. He played the PLAY AFTER SINKS WEST Emphasize That Two Reach Same Idea Independently NEW YORK, Dec. 18. lPi In this town which prides itself that everything does or can happen under its many mazdas, night baseball has encountered two stubborn holdouts.

The New York Yankees of the American League and the New York Giants of the National League, emphasizing that each ar rived at the decision independent ly, let it be known today they will not play under the lights next sea son. Is A Surprise The action of the Yankees, com ing within a few days of the American League meeting which approved night baseball, was something of a surprise to their closest friends because Manager Joe McCarthy had never express ed any opposition to it. On the other hand Bill Terry had never let his Giants glow after dark and Majordomo Leland Stanford MacPhall of the Brook lyn Dodgers already anticipated a continuance of this policy by giving Cincinnati two dates next season to fill the Giants' Gap. Although Col. Jacob Ruppert's decision said point blank the Yankees were not acting in agreement with the Giants, the viewpoint' of both was believed expressed by President Horace C.

Stoneham of the National League club when he explained: "A good attraction in the daytime will draw as well as at night. Break down the figures sometime on night baseball in Cincinnati and Brooklyn, The actual figures, I mean. "If a team is winning, naturally the attendance is good at night games. But if baseball fans aren't sold on their own team, or the visiting team, they will not overwhelm the box office either day or night. One night game in our league drew only 4,000 last season.

Fear Habit "After every game there is an open day. Give the ball fans enough reason to find something else to do on bright days and they may get out of the baseball habit "In our opinion ours is a daylight sport. At night it is a spotlighted show." All the American League clubs haven't announced they will take part in the night games at Cleve- land and Philadelphia next season, but it is assumed that with the exception of the Yankees they will even Clark (Old Fox) Gnl fith, one of the innovation's most vehement foes but a shrewd man sighting all available shekels. Only the Giants in the National League have held out. NEW YORK, Dec.

"We haven't thrown a lot of passes this season," said Neyland, "and naturally our passing game hasn been up to par. But start ing Monday we'll concentrate on getting our passers and receivers ready for the Orange Bowl game. Tennessee possesses three bet ter than average tossers in Half. back George Cafego, Babe Wood and Buist Warren. Wood suffered a broken hand in the Mississippi game, but Neyland is counting on him being ready for service against the Sooners.

Although Neyland minimized the effectiveness of the Vols' aerial game this year, the statistics show Cafego and his males pitch- ed 76 completing 34 for 465 yards. Only three Vol passes were in tercepted and all came in the last two games. On the other hand, Tennessee's ten opponents attempted 121 pass es, connected 41 times for 357 yards but had 20 intercepted. The Vols will begin preparing Monday for the Miami melee. Neyland has announced he will take 41 players to Florida.

8 Palm Island, Mr Feng, Sir Ten. Beit-aUMJCX MiillSON, RACE ENTRIES committee, said Joe Triner, ar committeeman from Illinois, voted a dissenting opinion against Ga-lento's ranking. The NBA rated other heavy-weights in the following order: Willie Reddish, Roscoe Toles, Ar-turo Lovell, Clarence (Red) Bur-man, Buddy Knox, Gus Dorazio and Tony Musto. Honorable mention went to Alex Kettles, Chicago; Tommy Farr, and Wild Bill Boyd, of Birmingham. The committee said it declined to give Bob Pastor a rating because he was under suspension in NBA territory due to his failure to "fulfill a New Jersey contract against Red Burman." In the controversial middleweight division, the association recognized Solly Krieger, of Brooklyn, as the champion and Freddie Apostoli as the ranking challenger.

Wants Three Matches The committee also recommend' ed three matches, which it said would clear up conflicts of opinion regarding the featherweights, bantamweights and flyweights. Miller said the committee reconv mended that within 60 days, a title match take place between Leo Rodak and Petey Scalzo, or Rodak and Joey Archibald, and that the winner be declared world cham pion of the featherweights. Such a match, the committee added, should be fought with contractual stipulation that the winner meet the third fighter not later than May, 1939. Sixto Escobar, who has not defended his bantamweight title within the required six months, was ordered to fight Johnny Morgan, Henry Hook, or Georgie Mace within the next 60 days. In the flyweight division, the NBA recommended that the winner of a 15-round fight between Little Dado and Small Montana be declared the American title-holder, and that Peter Kane of England meet the winner for the world title.

John's Plan John Henry Lewis, the light-heavyweight champion, advised the committee that should he defeat Joe Louis, he intends to relinquish the lightheavyweight title, but has no such' intention now. COACr WORCESTER, Dec. 18 MP) Joseph L. Shceketski, back-field coach at Holy Cross the past six seasons, tonight was named head football coach. He succeeds Dr.

Eddie Anderson, who resigned three weeks ago to accept a position at the University of Iowa. The appointment was announced by Director of Athletics Tom Mc-Cabe from Sheekctski's home in Detroit, where he signed a three-year contract. Financial terms were not revealed. McCabe announced that Sheeketski, who is only 29 years old and one of the youngest head coaches at any major college, will be given complete command. He will select his own assistants.

Sheeketski came to Holy Cross with Dr. Anderson in 1933 straight from Notre Dame, where he had been a star right halfback for three seasons. He proved himself an outstanding backfield tutor and his popularity with the players was such that, when college officials recently polled the letter men con cerning their choice for a new coach, he was an unanimous selection. It had been announced that Sheeketski would accompany Dr Anderson to Iowa as his first a.s sistant and it was not known un til tonight that he had been an ap plicant for the berth here. He is a native of Mount Carmel, but now lives in Detroit.

He played right halfback at Notre Dame under Rockne and under Hunk Anderson. His only coaching experience has been at Holy Cross, where he has assisted Anderson in compil ing a record of 47 victories, four ties and seven losses during the six seasons. BROOKLINE, Dec. 18 iP) Dr. Eddie Anderson, informed tonight that his successor as head football coach at Holy Cross would be Joe Sheeketski, his number one assistant, remarked: "That's swell for Joe." "I hale to lose him," Anderson added, "because I've been counting on him In my new job at Iowa next year.

He'll do a good job and .1 feel honored that the Crusaders should pick him." Anderson will take over the coaching reins at the University of Iowa next year. BEEBE HIGH SCHOOL STARTS CAGE SEASON BEEBE, Dec. 18. (JP Beebe High School launched its basketball season by scoring 144 points.

Two Other Racing Plants Drawing Fine Horses To Florida CORAL GABLES, Dec. 18. (IB New records in attendance and pari-mutuel betting were indicated tonight for the Florida racing season opening Monday at Tropical Park. Last season saw a record set when 822,838 persons clicked through the turnstiles and passed through the betting windows exclusive of the bet on greyhounds and Jai Alai games. Season Is Bigger But qualified authorities say the tourist season is bigger this year certainly the recreation and housing plant has been vastly expanded in this area and a new race, track is scheduled to open when Hialeah Park does Jan.

18. The new track, Gulfstream Park near Hollywood, is rapidly being put in shape and expects its first horses Monday, The racing strip and most of its stables are finished and officials have been hired. Meanwhile the Miami Jockey Club plans a more brilliant season than ever at Hialeah with another match race between War Admiral and Seabiscuit a possibility. Neither horse is here now but both have been nominated for the $50,000 Widener Challenge Cup which closes Hialeah season March 4. Stagehand and Lawrin are other notable nominees, the Kentucky Derby winner being among 2,000 horses already on hand.

Don and Eddie Ready The return of two old favorites to the saddle also will add inter est to the season. Jockey Don Meade, after a two-year suspension for improper betting, has been reinstated by the Stale Rac ing Commission and is expected to arrive Monday from Columbia, S. C. He has been galloping the George Odom horse's at Columbia and probably will resume riding at Tropical Park. Jockey Eddie Lit-zenberger, out of the saddle for three years with a broken leg that was rebroken twice, has been in workouts at Tropical and also probably will don the silks again.

Tropical inaugural feature will be a six-furlong handicap for a $1,200 purse with ten entries. Wise Prince, owned by telix Spatola of Philadelphia, drew top impost of 119 pounds. Mythical King, Court Scandal, Galapas, Rissa, Gold Flag, Gay Balko, Our Ketchum, Dunade and Bob's Boys are the others. I IS COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 18.

(JP) Final organization of the projected United States Trotting Association, nation-wide parent body of harness horse activities, will be perfected here Jan. 7 and 8, committeemen said today. Representatives of three organi- iations to be merged into the larger group completed four days of negotiations on the consolida tion program here. Favors Plan The American Trotting Register Association already has sanctioned the merger plan mapped by the committees, but the National Trotting Association will act Jan. and the United Trotting Asso ciation has set next Friday for consideration of the consolidation plan.

Mrs. Don A. Detrick of Belle- fontainc, Ohio, executive secretary of the United, said she expected the National and the United to accept the reports of their committees without a challenge, and that the merger would go through on schedule. Delegates from 11 districts into which the United Slates and Canada have been divided will meet here Jan. 7 and 8 to put.

final ap proval on the merger. The group of 33, made up of three board members from each district, will make up the national board to serve until 1940. Under One Head The merger places under one head practically all the harness horse supervision in the country only the American Trotting Asso ciation, with headquarters in Chicago, operating outside the new organization. The American turned down the merger plan by a 74 to 1 vote, and then declined to send a committee to Columbus for the negotiations. Horsemen demanded the consol idation several weeks ago at a meeting in Indianapolis.

Although the three parent bodies already operated under identical rules, and their classification systems were the same, separate registration cards were necessary to race Under the several organizations. That, feature will be abolished under the proposed setup, as well as permitting nation-wide rule changes without the necessity of separate votes by the three bodies. The merger vote was unanimous but approval of the boards of directors of the associations is necessary to clinch the consolidation. That, however, they believed a mere formality.

18. UPiAn Alabama basketball squad undisturbed by post-season foot ball training -and strengthened by three first-rate sophomores is ex pected to be back in the South eastern Conference race this year, Last season the Crimson basket-eers were hindered by prepara tions for the Rose Bowl football game, with Coach Hank Crisp and several varsity players busy on the gridiron. "We expect to make a much better showing this year," said Coach Crisp. "For two years our team has been upset by loss of key players and post-season foot ball work. This season it looks like we'll have plenty of time for basketball.

Win Opener Crisp pronounced the Tidesmcn satisfactory in winning their sea son-opener against the Birming ham YMHA 41-22. His tnree high-scorers, Herman Roberson and Edgar Hudson, forwards, and George Prather, center, rang up 30 points while playing half the game. This trio, along with Tom Stone and Jim Busby, guards, probably will form the starting line-up. Prather, Stone and Busby, junior college transfers from Mississippi, apparently, will step into first-string jobs their first year. Roberson and' Hudson, juniors, will share duties- at forward with Harold Thomason, a sophomore.

These six men probably will do practically all Alabama's basket-balling this winter. The schedule: Jan. 4-5 Tulane at New Orleans, Jan. 6-7 Louisiana State at Baton Rouge. Jan.
