Sept. 15 Picked by coaches to win the state junior col lege conference title, the Hinds Eagles more than lived up to their advance billing Saturday night by thoroughly trouncing an outclassed Northwest JC eleven by the score of 63 to 0, at Eagle Stadium in Raymond. Coach L. C.

DeVall's charges working like a well-oiled machine that had perfect timing, swept to four touchdowns in the opening quarter for a 280 lead and went to take the one-sided contest without working up a sweat. Prior to the game, the Jackson Touchdown Club held its initial meeting of the year with a barbe-que-chicken dinner (with trimm ings) at the Raymond High School cafeteria as special guests of President George McClendon and Hinds Jr. College. Billy Junke. 158-pounder from Houma, led the scoring parade for the Eagles with three touchdowns: while Bill Smith.

Florence product, had a pair and sinele markers were chalked-up by Billy Cooper. Billy Hugh Montgomery, Byron O'Ouinn and Dickie Craddock. Winning the toss, the Eagles chose to receive and marched goal-ward without interruption with Junke climaxing the march with a one-yard drive off tackle for the score. Here Roy Price came in to kick his first of nine perfect placements for the Eagles and gain the extra-poirit. Cooper got the second marker or a 32-yard pass from James Rat-cliff with Cooper running the remaining five yards: while it was Junke again getting the two in the first quarter on beautiful punt returns the first for 65 yards and the second for 70.

Hinds lone score in the second period was a 27-yard gallop around end by Montgomery to put Hinds ahead 35-0 at intermission. Onlv one Eagle score came in the third period, that by Smith as the speedy Florence lad intercepted a pass by Senatobia's Carter Tarkington and scampered 45 yards. O'Quinn opened action in the fourth quarter as. on the second play, he ran 40-yards on an end sweep across the goal: while Craddock got the eighth Hinds marker on a one-yard plunge. Smith had set-up this score with a 49 yard return of a punt to the Ranger 17 yard line.

Smith then closed the scoringg for the evening on a five-yard plunge through tackle to climax a 73 yard march that saw Montgomery, on a quickie, race 58-yards. L'NIVERITY, ept. 15 Mfm-phis State looms as Ole Miss' Immediate football target as the Rebels head Into the finai week of preseason The game will be played Friday night In Memphis. Just five days a-way. leaving Coach Johnny Vaught only four af'ernonns for last-minute preparations before the Reb campaign gets underway.

Following Memphis State, it's Kentucky In Oxford on Sept 29 in the first of seven Southeastern Conference games with the Wildcats posing a tremendous problem. They re the defending SEC and Sugar Bowl champions. In taking on the Memphis team. Vaught is certain to break the seal on the wide-open plav planned for the current Ole Miss team. It still the Split-T offense that's involved, but there'll be a bit of single-wing power attached and a fancy trend featuring a bol.stered aerial attack.

There'll be two hands rather than one operator to be relied on at quarterback with Rocky Byrd. the 1950-49 regular, and Jimmy Lear. prlnt-fast Junior, handling play at the post. They'll attend to a portion of the pass plav with the extras to be triggered by the halfbacks, one and all. Wilson Dillard.

Harol Lofton. Lea Paslav and Dave Salley from the left side and Llndy Callahan, Dick Westerman, Jim Salley and Red Muirhead at right half. Vaught hasn't yet recalled abatement that a dozen sophomores will have to produce if the Rebels are to roll this autumn. He isn't likely to. either, with the rookies to piay an important part at sev-eral first-team stations on defense and as the solid bench needed to bolster other positions.

Close watch will be kept on the piny of Crawford Minis, Bob Straughn and Henry Linton at right guard, linebackers Pete Mangum and Ed Beattv. sidebacks James Kelly and Paul Whiteside and safe-tymen Buddy Craig and Jack Reed. With Stram'hn nursing a 1 a leg. Mims will open at right guard and the balance of this bunch can push in as starters. Lofton, a driving runner at left half, is another soph with a definite future.

He packs a healthy defensive wallop and may be paired Middlecoff Ties Haefner For Golf Lead BALTIMORE. Sept. 15 Dr. Cary Middlecoft came blazing in late today with a red hot putter to shoot four-under-par 68 and tie Clayton Heafner for the halfway lead of the Eastern Open Golf Tournament. The golfing dentist from Memphis and the 225-pound Heafner from Charlotte.

C. were even at 1.1!) In the 72-hole tourney winding up Sunday with 36 holes. Heafner's 70 had put him into the lead until the winner of the Tarn O'Shnnter All-America reeled off four birdies of the second nine on the Mount Pleasant course. Mlddlecoff put on a whirlwind finish. He sank a 50-foot "sort of cross-country" putt on the hole and an 18-footer on the last green for his final birdies.

He hogeyed only one hole whn he took three putts on the second and made that up on the ninth with a 20-foot birdie putt. Heafner. who started the second round tied for second at 69, had four birdies and two bogeys. A stroke behind the two leaders came little Jerry Barber of Fasa-dena. who had a 69 on his second go-round.

Three were tied for third at 141, Including Al of Danville. who slipped from his first round first-place score of 67 to 74. Smith took 37 putts compared to his opening 30 In going two over par. Tied with nim are Andy Gfb-son of Towson with 69-72 and Ralpn Lomeli of Freno, with 72-69. Only 10 of the field of 132 were able to break par on the second round compared to 16 on Thursday.

As Lloyd Mangrurn, the defending champion who fell back with 75 for a 14fi total, said the "water made the fl.R!?5-yard course longer." The heavv rain yesterday had postponed the second round. The 65 low scorers. ur to 152. qualified for tomorrow's double round. Line-ups: HINDS Ends Cooper.

Co-captain Jack Parker, Bobcat left halfback, scored the visitors' first touchdown with an 84-yard run from scrimmage in the first quarter and a two-yard plunge in the second period netted the sec ond tally. Perkinston used 14 plays to cover 65 yards after taking the second half kickoff. This drive was climaxed by Charles Evans on a one-foot plunge for the lone touchdown. The visitors added their linal two touchdowns in the last period on a 50-yard pass play from Charles Walters to Glen Slay and a 32-yard runback of an intercepted pass by Woody Montague.

In the third quarter Bobby Simms went 67 yards around left end to add another Jones tally. Slay booted three extra points in five attempts.

She hit every green in regulation men's par and her chipping usually left her with putts of about two or three feet. While Beverly's golf was the best the Babe made the shot of the week and probably the best shot ever made in any Women's National. On the 500-yard par five, 5th hole. Babe's third shot was a 75-yard nine-iron. She went into the ball with all her strength and it arched toward the flag, struck the green and trickled to a stop half in the cup and half out, held there by the stick.

As the Babe walked toward the green, a slight breeze came up, fanned against the flag, shifted the pin allowed the ball to drop for an eagle three. Marlene looked like a 75 shooter for sure until the 18th green when she laid in a 20-foot putt for a birdie four. Marlene's putting has been the best in the tournament by far.

15 Cedar Farm's Halter registered a front-running triumph in the $10,000 added Olympic Handicap at Atlantic City today. Jockey Carroll Bierman guided Halter home 2 1-2 lengths before Harry Lamontagne's Blue Steel. Our Request, a 57-1 hazard and extreme outsider in the field of seven, was third, another three lengths back. In scoring his second stakes victory of the year Halter picked up $7,357. The colt, winner of Bowie's Farrell Handicap early in spring, was an outsider with the crowd cf 17.900 and paid $20.80.

$7.60 and $5.80. Steel Blue returned $5.20, $4.40 and Our Request, $10.60. cf perrormers. One thing for sure is the Maroons will have the benefit of more experience this campaign. The current varsity roster in-eludes names of 14 seniors and 13 juniors.

Of this group 23 are letter men. Ovverall Morton figures the 1951 team stronger than last year when the Maroons ended up with four wins against five losses, three, of the defeats by one touchdown. This he bases chiefly to added experience and this at least holds true lor the offensive crew. With the inaugural battle only a week away, Morton has two major worries. They are kicking and the center position.

After trying at least ten different kickers Morton hasn't found one that firs the bill. Best of the lot appear to be Jack Blount, 240-pound senior tackle, and Zerk Wilson and Mike Mask, sophomore halfbacks from Tupelo. Bobby Collias, a freshman quarterback from Laurel, could get the punting job before the season gets well underway. Two weeks ago Morton was well set at center. Now he's more concerned over this post than any other position on the ball club.

And he has good reason to be. Early Uiis week Jack Manley, sophomore from Town Creek, who was set for both offense and defense, came up with hurt knee that will keep him out of action indefinitely. Manley is a brother of Freshman Coach C. T. Manley and saying that Morton think highly of his ability is a terrific understatement.

Morton says, "Manley is the best prospect I have ever seen and we are counting on him heavily." Ken DeLoe, who lettered at tackle before being moved to center, has just returned to action after being out with a bad ankle and is not yet in condition. This leaves Bo Reid, Junior letterman from Ackerman, the only experienced performer. For that matter the only other pivotman on the varsity is Stan Dahoda, a sophomore, who will back un the line. Kentucky Is Easy Winner Over Tech LEXINGTON. Sept.

15 Kentucky's 1951 Sugar Bowl champions warmed up for a rugged football campaign today with an effortless 7213 victory over Tennessee Tech before 20.000 fans in sunny, 76-degree weather. Playing under heavy wraps and pointing for next week's major test against Texas, Kentucky's Babe Parilll and companv piled, up a lead in the first half and let the freshmen and sophomores finish the rout. Parilli completed ten of 15 pass-es in the first half, including two for touchdowns, and sat out the entire second half. The Tech Eagles scored on Ion? passes from Van Hooser to Scott. One covering 58 yards was registered late in the third quarter and the other, covering 68 yards, hit, a surprised Kentucky combination of freshmen and sophs early in the fourth.

Kentucky scored three times in each of the first and second quarters, twice in the third, and three times in the fourth. Another fourth quarter drive fizzled on the half-yard line.

The secondary One Hitter In Edgemere 'Cap Victory NEW YORK, Sept. 15 The Greentree Stable's one hitter captured the $27,935 Edgemere Handicap today at Aqueduct with a terrific charge in the final sixteenth, after Hill Prince the 1950 American Champion failed to win his first start of the season in the pre ceding race. Under one of jockey Ted Atkinson's patented whipping finishes, the wiry one hitter, a five-year-old son of Shut Out-Bold Anna.

Triumphed by a nose over the Hampton Stable's Alerted. Alerted, which won the discovery handicap from Battlefield here last week, appeared a sure winner a-gain until one hitter bounced home in the final stride. John W. Nizlek's all at once, a 34 to 1 shot, tried to steal the race and almost did. setting most of the pace in the mile and one quarter event.

However, he wilted in the stretch and finished third, a length and a half back of Alerted. Two more lengths in the rear was Clifford Moorers' Mocopo. Hill Prince was back in action for the first time since last December and turned in a sparkling performance although finishing third in the fifth race. The four-year-old son of Prince-quillo-Gildene, carrying 138 pounds top weight, was beaten five and one half lengths by F. Ambrose Clark's Tea-Maker.

Tea-Maker zoomed the six furlongs of the Spinalong Handicap in the brilliant time of 1:10 4-3. Two-fifths off the track record set by Doublerab in 1942. At the finish, the Virginia-Bred Hill Prince, own. ed by C. T.

Chenery, was litterally flying, and served notice that he'll be a formidable horse in the big fall races yet to come. Hall Prince was injured while training for the Santa anita Maturity on the West Coast last winter. He was slow to start today. Running fifth, a dozen lengths off the pace in the early part. At the top of the stretch Eddie Arcaro asked the Prince for speed and he responded gamely.

He was given sedatives. He gulped down aspirins before teeng off this morning. However, Gagliardi's tooth-ache apparently had little to do with the outcome of the match since Maxwell plaved almost unbeatable golf. The North Texas State student, straight with his drives and pin-hungry with his approaches, moved over Saucon Valley like a well-oiled machine bringing natural comparisons with Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson of his Lone Star State. He had only one noticeable let down.

That in the middle of the afternoon round when he went over par on the 25th. 26th and 27th holes, three-putting the last two. With his advantage cut from five to three holes as a result of this laxity, it appeared the old man might make a comeback. But Maxwell reeled off six straight pars, a pace Gagliardi couldn't match.

15 Wl Yellmantown. owned by Billy Minor and Marshall Robinson of Lexington, won the $11,975 Chicago Handicap at Hawthorne today while racing over a grass course for the first time. The 4-year-old gray gelding opened up an early four-length lead and then lasted under a hustling ride by Jockey Earl J. Knapp to defeat Dr. Ole Nelson by half a length.

Dr. Ole Nelson, racing for Maur-ie and Roy Saffir, was coupled with Walmac Farm's grass champion, Volcnic. The entry, trained by Howard (Babe) Wells went off as the even-money favorite of the crowd of 20,298, mostly because of the presence of Volcanic. mediocre golf, turned instead into a terrific battle of birdies, with spectacular shots repeatedly bringing gasps from the crowd of more than 5.000. When Maxwell, the first Texan to take the crown, closed out the mild-mannered lawyer on the 33rd hole, he was even par for the day over the 6.979-yard, par 71 lavout.

15 Havwood Sullivan threw a slippery football Just like it wasn't raining tonight to give Florida's Gators an upset 13-0 victory over Skynne Conference champion Wyoming. Sullivan, the six-foot, four inch quarterback, passed 24 yards to end Jim French for one touchdown and set up the other with a 35-year toss to end Don Brown.
