Hunter went on to win on a split decision. Detroit's Billy Hunter goes round after being caught with Argentina's Alex Miteff in 10 down in ninth a left hook by round fight in 45 Central High Swimmers Preparing for Tough Season The Army-Navy game heads a list of traditional clashes to- day, with bowl bids in the off ing for several of the victors on the last big Saturday of the college football season. Army is rated a six-point fa vorite over the Middies in their annual service encounter.

The Cadets are figured to launch an aerial attack that will stem Navy's ground-gaining thrusts. Expect 100,000 Bids to bowls are up for grabs in games involving Georgia and Georgia Tech; Texas Christian and SMU, Mis sissippi and Mississippi State, and Miami (Fla.) and Florida. More than 100,000 are ex pected to jam Philadelphia's Municipal Stadium to watch the nationally televised Army-Navy game. The Cadets depend upon the Joe Caldwell-Bill Carpenter passing combination to sink the Navy. The Midshipmen count on Joe Bellino to operate their running attack.

Gator Bowl officials will be watching the evenly-rated Georgia-Georgia Tech game for a possible opponent against Ar kansas on New Year Day. Se lection parties from the Orange, Liberty and Blue-Bonnet Bowls have also expressed interest in the outcome. A victory by Georgia Tech over the Southeastern Conference champions could make bowl bids available to both schools. SMU vs. TCU SMU could also conceivably wind up with several bowl invitations in their traditional tangle with the Frogs.

TCU, however, is a n-point choice. A clamor has been set up for a rematch btween Mississippi and Louisiana State in the Sugar Bowl. Mississippi, rated a 24-point pick over Mississippi State, was beaten by LSU earlier this season on Billy Can- non's 89-yard punt return for a touchdown. The Miami Hurricanes have a good chance of winding up in the Orange Bowl against Missouri, if they beat Florida. The Miamians are three-point, favorites.

A hurricane loss, how- ever, could mean a glowing Orange slice for the winner of the Georgia-Georgia Tech game, i Other hot rivalries find once- beaten Southern California one-point choice over Notre Dame, the Air Force Academy a two-point pick over Colorado, Au- burn seven over A 1 a a.m Wake Forest one over South Carolina, Oklahoma 18 over Oklahoma State, Tennessee seven over Vanderbilt, Rice one over Baylor, Holy Cross three over Boston College, UCLA 15 "over UTAH and Clemson 24 over Furman.

The reserves will open the action at 6 o'clock with the varsity game set to follow.

"Re run away. He no fight," he said. "I thought I was win ning easy to the seventh round I knocked him down in the ninth. So, I didn't win the last round, but I thought I won the fight." Judge Charlie Rosen agreed He had Miteff ahead 6-4. But referee Ruby Goldstein (5-4-1) and Judge Leo Birnbaum (6-4) made Hunter the winner.

The 9P card was 5-4-1 Hunter, who got off fast in each round except the first when he was confused by Miteff's switch to a southpaw style. Hunter, 191 Vfe, opened the gash over and along Miteff's left eyebrow in the seventh. It seemed for a time that the fight would have to be stopped.

I talked to the people at USF and to my doctor Wednesday. The doctor said I should get away from the whole thing for a year." Wool-pert's official announcement came late yesterday. The young defensive strategist produced two national championship teams during his nine years as head coach at USF. Woolpert, a perfectionist, has been haying trouble letting off steam. "Up to five years ago," he said, "I would rant and rave on the bench.

Then our league, the West Coast Athletic Con sons by winning 40 of 41 conference games, is not loaded this season for the first time in many campaigns. 65 Candidates However, head coach Bill Zabonick and assistant Bob Whitcomb, had 65 candidates out for the first drill.

Following is a team-by-team rundown of each conference school: BRONSON: Coach Bill Za bonick and assistant coach Bob Whitcomb have a total squad of 65 with the following lettermen: Chuck Miller, Don Bidwell. Leon Hoard, Dick Laughry and Mike Poling.

The Vikings will probably be weaker than last season, but must be rated as a contender. ATHENS: Second place last year, the Indians have a new coach in Wayne Chapman, for mer Homer basketball star, Wayne has a total squad of 26 with Jim Spoor, Leslie Lewis, Mill Homan and Andy Parlin ai returning lettermen. Reading: Finished in a tie fo" third with Homer.

Most of the club's directors issued a terse "no comment" when asked about one director's flat statement that president- general manager Edwin J.

Aft derson and head, coach George Wilson may get the axe. There are 13 directors and most maintain an official silence about the matter. One said "we're having our diffi culties and we'll settle them, but in a businesslike manner." Meanwhile, the source who told the Associated Press Thurs day night that club owners might overthrow the Anderson regime said today the air should be cleared at the reg ular board meeting Dec. 16. The director said the main complaint against Wilson is his "indecisive handling of the quarterback situation." Wilson has used Tobin Rote, Earl Mor rail and Jerry Reichow as the once-proud Lions have stumbled to a 2-7-1 record.

Dave Ragan Jumps Into Golf Lead WEST PALM BEACH, (JPi Dave Ragan of Orlando rode a fat three-stroke lead into the second half of the $15,000 West Palm Beach Invitational Open golf tournament today.

His seven-under par 65 for a 36 hole total of 135 allowed him to leap from sixth place to first. Such stalwarts as John Berry of Tallahassee, Frank Wharton of Dallas and George Bayer of Gleneagles, 111., could not lick par.
