Fort Myers (Fla.) News-Press, Wednesday, September 4, 1937 9 Nugent Well Pleased I GOODSON'S Woodruff's Big Flo Chadwick Fails In Irish Sea Attempt ac- Question Mark Is Blue Unit Orange Unit Ready Vith 11 Letter men From 1956 Gators With Semincles TALLAHASSEE, Sept. 3 (jP) Florida State Coach Tom Nugent had his varsity running offensive plays against a strong freshman defensive unit in a full scale scrimmage today. The FSU coach said he "was well pleased with the condition of most of the boys." He said he thinks the FSU squad will be able to continue at a tough practice pace. Among those Nugent singled out for praise was Senior Right End Bob Nellums. Because of a knee injury Nellum3 played only half the season last year, but led the Seminoles in scoring with 31 points.

"If our Blue or second unit can play half of every game and do a good job, we will be ---m the game with each of our op-; he said, Woodruff alternates two units name the Blue and the Orange in acord with the school colors. Last year the orange was the gec-i ond unit.

It came through hand-; and Florida had one of its best seasons third place in the tar, the Catalina Channel, the Dardenelles and various other difficult bodies of water. The only man to make a successful swim across the Irish Sea was Tom Blower, a tobacco factory worker from Notthingham, England, who died in 1954. Blower did it in 15 hours, 26 minutes in 1947. Miss Chadwick hoped to break that record when she set out from Donaghadee, Northern Ireland, at 4:21 a.m., Grenwich time (11:21 p.m. Monday, Eastern Standard).

After six postponements because of winds and rough water, conditions appeared ideal at the start. Halfway across, the American girl was swimming strongly and her handlers were confident she would make it. But as she approached the Scottish coast, her strokes slowed down and she began to complain of feeling sold. After 20 miles she drank some hot coffee and kept going. Two miles further along she stopped for a while and then resumed her slow swimming.

Finally she came to a stop, unable to continue although she protested when she was haul-! ed into the pilot boat. Tearfully, Miss Chadwick "I just could not stand that cold," OVERFLOWING PURSE CAMDEN, NJ. iff) Besides the glory, there's one other attraction for jockeys and owners in the world's richest horse race, The Garden State: Second money is more than the winning purse of most big races. Federal Hill's share was $63,842 last year when he lost a photo finish to Babizon. PORTPATRICK, Scotland, Sept.

3 VP Florence Chadwick, the American girl who can't see a channel without trying to swim it, failed today in her attempt to become the first woman to swim the Irish Sea from Ireland to Scotland. Miss Chadwick was pulled out of the icy water late today only about thre miles from her goal after swimming nearly 12 hours. She was almost within sight of the welcoming crowd, including a kilted bagpiper who planned to pipe her ashore, when her handlers decided it would be futile to continue. The 36-year-old San Diego, woman had made no progress for about 15 minutes before she was forcibly taken out of the water. Chilled to the marrow by the 50-degree water, she abandoned her usual crawl stroke and tried to go ahead with a breast-stroke but couldn't move.

Several times her advisors told her she would be taken out if she didn't start swimming, then Dan Gilbert, a husky Irish lifeguard, hauled her into the 'pilot boat. Taken ashore, she was examined by a doctor, given a hot bath and put to bed until morning. Friends said she probably would not attempt the 27-mile crossing of the Irish Sea again this year but probably would return next year for another try. Earlier this summer Miss Chadwick swam the Bristol Channel. She has crossed the English Channel in a record 13 hours 55 minutes; the Straits of Gibral- 'Hub of furr.oui Southeastern Conference and a Must Make Room for Fall Inventory.

There are 15 other lettermen. But, Woodruff points out, most were with the Red or third team and saw action only, aflter the Orange and Blue softened up the opponents. They are the nucleus of this season's Blue unit.

The Blue should be solid at tackle. Don Hicks, Baetman, Ray Midden, Fred Schutz and Pete Davidson all lettermen battle a pair of promising sophomores, Charles Baetzman and Dick Bush, for the jobs. We have high hopes for Baetz- said Woodruff, who played tackle at Tennessee. "It depends on how fast he progresses before our first game Sept. 20 if he can tnt beat out the lettermen."

Another walk, and three more singles, combined with third baseman Bobby Adams' fielding error of Hank Aaron's grounder, opened the gate for four more runs. The Braves continued the deluge in the eight inning when Nippy Jones and Mathews singled in succession and Aaron slammed his 39th homer into the lcftfield stands to hike his runs-batted-in total to 118. Spahn retired the first 11 men he faced and issued his first hit, a blooper into short center by Walt Moryn, in the fourth. CHICAGO, Sept. 3 -Warren Spahn, pitching the pennant-stampeding Milwaukee Braves to a 8-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs today, registered his 41st shutout of his career for a National League record for lefthanders.

Because this 1957 Ford gives you the advanced features, the solid ride, the effortless handling that you once expected to find only in expensive cars. And when it comes to looks, where in all the world can you find fresher styling than in the sculptured-in-steel lines of this new Ford? Ford's superiority is evident in many places. In the vital rear axle, the pinion gear that turns the rear wheels is straddle-mounted supported between two anti-friction bearings instead of being "overhung" from a single bearing. This makes operation quieter, smoother and longer-lasting.

It's a feature that Ford shares with only one other car maker Rolls Royce. Or consider Ford's famous V-8 engine. No other manufacturer in the industry today electronically balances wry V-8 engine, while operating under its own power, the way that Fprd does. This means you get a smoother-running engine the finest V-8 in Ford's 25 years of V-8 leadership. These are only a few of the important hidden values that are yours in the new kind of Ford.

But they indicate why so many paople who can pay almost any price for a car people who have driven expensive cars for years are buying Ford today.
