A few vears seo. thn HIS TYPEWRITER TALKS A MAN who took a rickety Remington and ran it into thrll-liona of typed words and millions of dollars' worth of Judicious publicity for Miami, the Orange Bowl, and Hiealeah race course Is tall, handsome, capable and courteous Everett were as far from a major bowl bid It as they were from the This year they're one of the nation's top- ranking teams, thanks to three men who combined their varied talents f'V to lift Kansas out of the gridiron doldrums. The first was Ernie Qulgley who took over the Job as athletic direc- tor and revived the school's waning football fortunes.

The second was 5-George Sauer, whom Qulgley entlc- ed from New Hampshire to coach. And the third was Ray Evans, one tf of the greatest backs ever to playjf A.

Always refreshing, Everett's manners are punctillious, almost overcrowded with courtesy. His warmth of fellowship is invigorating as a hot toddy on a frosty morning. Arid his temperature of experience tests the top of the thermometer.

i Clay was in one of his gracious, let-me-help, receptive moods as publicity chairman and member of the Miami press committee at the recent National baseball meeting.

Right now he is up to his collective running and the first undefeated season alncn 1923 when tha hawkers won five games and tied three. Evans, who is known as "The Rider" In the midlands because of his uncanny passing skill, was a leading All America backfield choice.

In addition to his passing ability, Evans Is a shifty runner and a brilliant pass-defender. He won the Big Six passing crown for the second year in a row by completing 30 passes In 60 attempts without a single Interception, gaining a total of 361 yards. But bottling un Evans -n un. likely prospect, won't assure Georgia Tech of an easy time In the ears with work on the Orange As we've said before, Clay's a Democratic presidential candidate driving a sulky througn Mississippi.

Yankees Look To Return Of 2 Ailing Aces NEW YORK, Dec. 18.

(-Medical reports from Maryland on the unproved physical eondition of Outfielder Charley Keller launched the holiday season prematurely today by casting a warm glow of optlirlism over New York Yankee headquarters. Gathering for the first of a series of winter press conferences In their gaily-decorated Fifth avenue office, Yankee general manager George Weiss and Manager Bucky Harris beamed at the friendly news from the scalpel set. "Keller definitely wants to play ball," read a report from Dr. Thomas Hoem, who performed the operation on the slugger's spine last summer. "We see no reason whv he should not be able to play next summer.

A similar report on the Joe Di Maggio case indicated that the Yankee clipper, recently named most valuable player in the American league, would report to spring training camp at St. Petersburg, March 1 In the best shape in years. DiMagglo recently underwent an exhaustive physical exam that resulted in an operation for removal of a bone chip from his right elbow. Word from Spud Chandler, who also was operated on for bone chips since the close of the season, was that the veteran righthanded pitcher Is sure he will be In fine condition by spring training time. As regards Chandler, both Harris and Weiss are adopting a "wait and see" attitude.

Clemson's record of four wins and five losses might not have looked too impres slve on the gridiron, but in the meeting of the nine opponent this past year, the Tigers led In nearly cvory staiisiicai department. The "Country Gentlemen" scored more points than any other con ference team, and their star tall duck set a not pace in winding up third In the nation In total offense. This same tailback, Bobby Gage, unllmbered his rubber arm, ana on many occasions, gave the Tigers much needed yardage. Even though the Tigers' opponents held a slight edge in the number of first downs, the Clemson eleven out rushed and out passed their nine gria opponent. i Gage completed the season with a total offense of some 1.604 yards enough to rate third among the nation lop run-pass scars.

The Tigers' team passing mark of 68 completions out of 153 attempts for 1,331 yards rated fifth spot In the nation.

He also recovered a blocked punt for a fifth score to rank at one of the Conference's leading point-makers.

Marvin Small, a rangy 180-pounder, is Schellbacher's running mate at the other end, Don Et-linger fills one tackle slot with Hugh Johnson and Dick Tomllnson alternating at the other, Don Fam-brough, a 190-pounder who has converted 30 extra points, and Joe Crawford fill the guard berths, with coach the past season, succeeds Bob Smith, recently resigned.
