Lake Worth's second win of the season and the in two years while the defeat Joe Knight's Marriage Announced by Manager Miami, Oct. 20.

CP) The secret marriage last July of Joe Knight, one of the South's leading light-heavyweight boxers, to Miss Vivian True of Daytona Beach, was announced Friday by the fighter's manager, E. H. Griffith. The wedding took place at Ocala, July 16. The bride, a graduate of Daytona Beach High school, Is the daughter of Mrs.

Q. Beckett of that city. Griffith made the announcement after a telephone conversation Friday with Knight at Jacksonville, who said he and his bride were en route to his home in Cairo, for a visit with his mother. Mrs. Knight joined her husband here last Monday night and watched him stop young Bob Godwin of Daytona Beach, another of the South's leading lightheavyweighta In the if if th round of a scheduled ten-round bout.

Griffith said Knight would come to Miami Nov. 1 to prepare for a fight with Eddie McCarthy ln Orlando Armistice day. get a real assignment against the Wildcats. The Wildcat squad, three full teams, arrived here shortly afternoon Friday, all in fine condition. The club left West Palm Beach shortly after 7:30 o'clock and traveled here by bus.

Neither Coach Red Whittington nor Coach Carlos Proctor was sure of the starting lineup against the Tigers, waiting to see just what the team will be up against regarding playing conditions here. However, it is expected that about the same machine that started against Daytona's Buccaneers at West Palm Beach last Friday night will get the first call. Right now it looks like Pieper and Kocher will start at the flanks, Kort and Crabtree at tackles, Sparks and Moore at guards, Boise at the pivot point, with Cochrane at quarter, O'Rourke and Harris at halves and Morrison at full, in the backfield. There are a number of West Palm Beach people here for the clash, several of them disappointed because they had Intended seeing Florida play North Carolina university at Gainesville Saturday afternoon. Because of the postponement, several have departed for West Palm Beach and a few of the others plan leaving here early Saturday morning and driving on to Gainesville.

Members of the Wildcat squad prepared for the game Saturday include: Kocher, Pieper, Dodge, Malphurs, Lightbown, Crabtree, Kort, Bartlett, Lockman, Clresser, Sparks, Moore, O'Connell, Loy, Ellis, Blanford, Whitstone, Boise, J. Frary, Fugate, Cochrane, Zinni, Morrison, Harris, O'Rourke, Thom-ason, McKendrlck, Foster, Davidson, B. Duggan, Bob Hall, Bob Frary, Stump and Russell Hall. Coaches are Whittington, Proctor and Phil Glancy; team managers are Heston and Adair. By al McMillan Post SportB Editor Orlando, Oct.

20 A torrential downpour here early tonight forced postponement of the scheduled Wildcat-Tiger clash between the high school football teamB of West Palm Beach and Orlando and the game will be played Saturday afternoon, starting at 2 o'clock. Although boasting a heavy team for a high school eleven, the West Paim Beach 'Cats are outweighed by the Orlando machine and will meet stiff resistance from the local fore-wall. Since being held to a couple of tie contests, Orlando has adopted aerial tactics and is expected to use a heavy air attack against the down-staters Saturday afternoon. Much of the recent training given the Tigers has been on passing. Much talk is current here tonight of a new halfback that has been uncovered and who is expected to They Did I.iiUe Worth (7) Pns.

Lamar and Fulton then cooperated for another first down, stopping about 17 yards from the goal.

Lake Worth had made four first downs in rapid succession on six scathes and an off-side, taking the ball deep into the invaders territory. Nelson recovered a fumble back of the Lake Worth line but Drury stepped in to halt the scoring march, intercepting one of the few passes attempted by the Trojans. Fisher attempted to pass deep in her own country but failed and Costello dropped back and punted to Nelson who returned the ball about 10 yards to his own 49-yard line. Lake Worth failed to gain and Nelson punted on fourth down, Costello being held in his tracks on his own 20-yard stripe. On the next play the Typhoons, about blown out, saw Costello fumble and Hansen recover for the fatal break.

In the final minutes of the game, D'Ncil, who had been rushed in for the Trojans, broke up a Typhoon drive that might have been disastrous when he hauled down a Miami Befell pass on his own 20-yard marker. The play came after Drury had completed a shan't pass over the line to Elliott who took the ball for a first down, placing it on Lake Worth's 38-yard line. Lake Worth tried six passes, one of them, completed, one intercepted, that which broke up the first scoring threat, and the others incomplete. Miami Beach tried a couple more and completed one, that late in the final quarter. Two were intercepted.

The win marked Lake Worth's second' this season, the first that over Ponce do Leon at Coral Gables last B'riday, 12 to 0, and it was the third straight loss for Coaches Bill Harkness and Chet Freeman of Miami Beach. The latter club lost to Miami High in the opening game, 25 to 0, and then fumbled itself out of a win to Fort Lauderdule last week, 7 to 0. Lake Worth exhibited a powerful line with a fine running attack Friday afternoon. In the fore-wall Alexander at left end and Hansen at guard, smeared up plenty of Fisher plays. In the backfield Fulton is becoming a power at offense while Cobb, Lamar and Nelson will have to be reckoned with In any contest.

Coach Bob Wilson's club will meet the Wildcats at Andersen field here under the lights Nov. 17. In answer to an appeal by radio, Harry Blum of Anchorage, Alaska, flew to Kodiak Island with Dr. A. S.

The University of North Carolina, enraged over a severe drubbing at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs last Saturday, and the University of Florida in none too pleasant mood as the result of a scoreless tie with North Carolina State, will mix it at Florida Field stadium at 3 p. Saturday. Governor Dave Sholtz will be among the crowd of spectators which officials have predicted will V.

Nine of the Florida players stand over six feet, and the Tarheels present virtually the same imposing array of giants, so huski-ness will not be lacking. For the first time this season, every member of the Florida squad will be ready to play. The Tarheels have shuffled their material considerably this week, reports reaching here indicate.

Coach Collins has shifted Bill Moore to left end from center and Daniel, who has been playing tackle, to the center post. After an overnight ride from Raleigh, the Tarheels will take temporary headquarters at Key-Btone Heights, 25 miles from here. They will not start for the stadium until after lunch. Coach Dutch Stanley gave his squad only a light workout Friday, reviewing assignments and then calling it a day. The temper and spirit of the squad seems to be "Just right." One of the features of a full weekend here will be the finish of the Florida-North Carolina crosscountry race at the stadium shortly before the kickoff in the football game.

The football picture of the nation Saturday is a sort of a volcano, rising evenly from one coast to the other to a flame spouting peak in the Mid- West. There the major drama of Octo ber's third Saturday will roll out like lava waves as two Eastern leaders provide the intersectional high lights of the day, Ohio State and Michigan lock in a battle that may determine the new Big Ten champion, and the Big Six works its way to a climax. Nothing the East, the- Far-West the South and the Southwest offers for the day can outweigh Army's first major engagement of the season against the rising power of Illinois in Cleveland, the invasion of Minnesota by the Golden Panthers of Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame's assault opce more on the troublesome Tartans of Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, on the fringe of the Mid-West.

The greatest crowds of the season, probably totalling close to 300,000 will see these major engagements, the Big Ten battles of Northwestern and Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin, Chicago and Purdue, and the crowning conference struggle of Ohio State and Michigan's defending champions at Ann Arbor. With Minnesota tied by Purdue and Indiana, and the latter beaten by Notre Dame, Northwestern trimmed by Iowa and Wisconsin walloped toy Illinois, the Ohio State-Michigan duel brings the Big Ten to an early climax. Both have displayed tremendous power, the Buckeyes in slaughtering Virginia and trouncing Vanderbilt, Michigan beating Michigan State and crushing Cornell 40 to 0 last Saturday. The winner has only late developments at Illinois and Chicago to fear. Army sends the lightest, fastest eleven to represent the military academy in 10 years unto battle with Illinois and is the under-dog in its first invasion of the Mid-West since 1930.

The Pittsburgh team that smothered Navy last week 34 to 6 should be more than a match for the brilliant sophomores of Minnesota at Minneapolis, and Carnegie Tech always has been a particular thorn in Notre Dame's side. This season, coached by Howard Harpster, the quarterback who piloted the Tar tars to victory in 1926 and 1928, Carnegie is again a power, while the Hoosiers under Hunk Anderson have been none too impressive. With Nebraska and Kansas State, Oklahoma and Iowa State, narrow ing the field of title contenders in the Big Six conference, the East and South trail in matches of championship significance. Columbia, smart and versatile, tackles the sophomore power of Princeton in a battle of the unbeat en while Colgate runs but slight chance of an upset against New York university and Syracuse appears too strong for Cornell. Pennsylvania and Dartmouth promise a renl battle at Philadelphia.

Jimmy Crowley's power at Ford-ham is ready for Boston college while Harvard faces a desperate tussle keeping the slate clean against Holy Cross and Yale is in all kinds of trouble with Brown on its hands. The Old Blue and Crimson both may be lucky to escape defeat. The Southern slate is headed by Tennessee's effort to resume against Alabama the victory string Duke shattered last week and the chances are less than even. In the Southwest Texas Aggies appear to have their best chance in years to wallop the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian and sweep oh to a conference title. Along the Pacific coast the southern division takes time out from its own wars to rally against the north as Southern California meets Oregon State and California takes on Washington State in the main engagements.

A drama of the skies of heroes who dare not think of the sweethearts they left behind as they ride with death through fog and storm! 7ZZZI. first played at Lake Worth marked the thud for the invading Miami Beach club. Although dampened by a downpour shortly after the opening kick-off, and hampered through the remainder of the game by a steady drizzle, the contest was a sweet game to watch as the Trojans finally overcame a stubborn Typhoon resistance that finally cracked in the first few seconds of ihe final quarter. Noted for its fumbles, the Typhoons paved. Jhe way for Lake Worth's only score late in the third period when Hansen, a pretty working tackle, smothered Costello's fumble near Fisher's 18-yard stripe.

The break came after three-fourths of the game had been played near midfield during a punting duel and on the second down after Nelson had booted the oval from his 49-yaid marker to Fisher's 23. Lamar, Trojan back, who had made steady gains throughout the afternoon, shoved the ball five yards closer to the goal on the first pla'y and Cobb sneaked it a couple of yards closer on the third down for four more tries, with goal to go. Fulton, Lake Worth's 200-pound fullback, was called on to bring the ball into scoring position and shoved it up to the one-yard line, with the assistance of a line buck by Lamar. Cob1-, with the last down coming up, elicited a sneak through the center of the line and shoved the eval across as the Typhoons were preparing for another thrust by Fulton. Nelson, who had done most of Lake Worth's punting, dropped back and sailed a neat boot over the uprights for the extra point.

Lake Worth played heads-up football in scoring against the Miami Beach team, playing mostly straight football and using few passes while the invaders, after being scored on, resorted to the air. Despite the fact that no one back made any sensational runs during the game Lake Worth's ball carriers and Drury, Costello and Dan-sky of the Miami Beach eleven, did-fine work against two lines that proved themselves full of resistance. Miami Beach made four first downs, twp of them in the first as compared to eight for Lake Worth. The latter was the most consistent ground gainer of the day, although held about even in the first half. Immediately after receiving the opening kick-off in the third quarter when Lamar returned the oval to his own 42-yard Une on an 18-yard run, Nelson went through left guard for first down.

Lamar made a first down on the second following play after Fisher had spotted Lake Worth five yards by being off-side. Fulton then crashed through the line with an- Come On, Kids!

20. In a contest heightened by the ejection of players on both sides of the field, Pahokee won Its Becond victory of the current gridiron season from Fort Pierce here Friday afternoon, scoring Its winning touchdowns in the first period. Friday's victory over the Fort Pierce invaders marked the first conquest ever established by the Farmers over their rivals from coast in several seasons of conflict. Pahokee capitalized on a Fort Pierce fumble shortly after the latter had received the opening kick-off. The Farmers recovered on Fort Pierce's 30 and then started an aerial attack which went for a touchdown run on the first attempt.

Tabb, Pahokee signal caller, dropped back with oval and shot a short pass to Thompson, on the left flank, who scampered 25 yards for a touchdown. Pahokee failed to make the extra point. Fort Pierce was held for downs near the middle of the field following the kick-off and the ball went over to Pahokee. Line plays, broken by a couple of short passes with Tabb doing the hurling, took the locals within scoring distance and Sapp, fullback, went over for another touchdown. Tabb dropped back on a fake drop-kick and passed to Thompson for the extra point.

During the second quarter, and during the remainder of the game the Fort Pierce line stiffened and kept play near midfield. Pahokee received but was unable to penetrate the enemy territory and the ball went over to the visitors. Fort Pierce took possession of the ball in Pahokee territory and brought It to the 17 when the Farmers drew a 15-yard penalty for roughness that took the ball to Pa-hokee's two-yard line. Hopkins, after several plays had failed to push over a score, scampered around end for a touchdown. Kiekllghter made the extra point.

Patrick, Fort Pierce, and Spooner, of Pahokee, were ejected from the game at this point for unsports-manship. Kicklighter, captain of the Fort Pierce club, was removed from the game in the fourth quarter on a similar complaint. Fort Pierce intercepted a Pahokee pass in the third quarter but failed to capitalize after taking It back 30 yards. Both teams fought desperately in the fourth quarter but both lacked a scoring punch.

Outplayed for a large part of the game the Univer sity of Georgia Friday needed the difference of a placement to win from the Mercer Bears 13 to 12. Short, sharp thrusts accounted for both touchdowns scored by the Bulldogs of the Southeastern conference while the steady ferocious attack of the Bears accounted for the Mercer scores.

Mercer took up the attack as soon as the game opened and kept pounding away at Georgia's goal until McQuaig plunged over. It was not until late in the second period that Georgia was able to get past midfield. A touchdown run of 44 yards by Cy Grant, who converted with a placement, and Brown's 42-yard jaunt that placed Chapman in position to score brought Georgia vic tory. Mercer came back to cross the Georgia goal again but the try for extra point failed. A blocked kick by Popeko who pushed in from his halfback posi tion was taken in by Bell, Mercer guard, in the first period and he carried it to the Georgia six-yard line.

An incomplete pass over the goal line sent the ball over but a little later in the second period the Bears went tearing back and aided by a 26-yard run by Zinkow sky advanced to the 16 where a penalty against Georgia for roughing took them to the yard mark. The Bulldog stiffened and it took McQuaig three tries to get over for a touchdown. Play was all In the Bulldog's backyard until just before the sec ond peribd ended when Georgia got as far as Mercers 31-yard line. Soon after the second half started Grant got away on his long run for a touchdown then added the extra point. The Bears Immediately marched to Georgia's 12-yard mark before they were stopped and kept the ball deep in the Bulldog territory throughout the rest of the period.

Georgia finally managed to reach midfield ih the fourth period and Brown went to the 8-yard line on one play. Chapman at once made the rest of the distance to the goal line. Taking the kick-off on their 36 the Bears bore down again and aided by Georgia off-side penalties and a 20-yard run by Allen reached Georgia's 10-yard stripe and Allen went over on a spinner. A pass for the point was grounded. Georgia intercepted a pass and had reached Mercer's 13-yard line as the game ended.

20. With the early skirmishes out of the way after leaving a heavier than usual toll of casualties, the Southeastern conference Saturday looks for its first major gridiron battle as Alabama crashes Into Tennessee at Knoxville. This duel, for several years ranked as October's- big attraction, brings together the pre-season twin favorites for the Southeastern football championship, both bearing splotches on their escutcheons, Tennessee by a defeat from Duke and Alabama a tie with Mississippi. The Knoxville' Volunteers beset by injuries, face the possibility of two successive defeats for the first time in eight years. Although in none too good physical shape, Alabama should possess nearer Its full varsity strength than the Vols.

Captain Maples, Palmer, Frank and Wynn are among those slated for the Tennessee sidelines. Tennessee's backfield appears a shade stronger but the Alabama line looks more powerful and, with Maples and Palmer out, the Volunteer's defense may be Inferior. Feathers of Tennessee, and Howell, of Alabama, are evenly matched as punters. Three other Intra-conference contests include Georgia Tech and Tulane in Atlanta; Vanderbilt and Mississippi State in Nashville, and Mississippi and Sewanee ln Oxford, Miss. A free scoring engagement is in prospect as Tulane and Tech, both beaten in early tilts, gamble to improve their Southeastern ratings.

Vanderbilt will be favored over Mississippi State ln the first conference go for the Commodores. Mississippi seems too strong for Sewanee. In the Southeastern-Southern conference rivalry Kentucky, victor over Washington Lee by a huge score a year ago, faces a much better general eleven at Roanoke, while Florida Bhowing more strength than in recent years, takes on at Gainesville a North Carolina club angered by two successive defeats this campaign. Auburn meets George Washington University in Washington, lh Its first intersectional go In two years, while Centenary goes against Texas at San Antonio and Chattanooga plays Catholic University in Washington. Louisiana State has its annual non conference engagement with Arkansas at Shrevepbrt.

The Centre-Furman and the Howard-Southwestern battles head the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association program as all are unbeaten in the association. Ersklne plays Wofford; Georgetown meets Transylvania; Mississippi Teachers face Southwestern Louisiana, and West Kentucky plays DEMOCRATS PLAN DANCE Plans are progressing for the Halloween dance which will be sponsored by the Young Democratic club of Lake Worth.
