TORT MYERS (FU.) NEWS-PRESS, Thursday, Feb. 18, 1951 Palms Tops Genes in City Loop Finale Gatorland Grist By WENDELL HOUGH JR. Jayvees Tip Everglades 57-50 in Cage Thriller GAINESVILLE The selection of Art Wright as the most valuable lenior football player may surprise many persons, but recognition of this nature has been long overdue for the stocky, Florida guard. For three years, the writer insisted that Wright was the most underrated man on the Florida squad. The vote of Wright's teammates was a belated but rewarding honor for the now Army-man.

In football reviews Wright's name was always subordinated to that of guard Joe D'Agostino, a spectacular-type of player. But it seemed that when the going was tough the former Lakeland High star was the more consistent of the two, and certainly more conditioned for 60 minutes than any member of the squad. As far as we can remember, Wright never was slow rising from a pile-up at the line of scrimmage. His 5 ft. 8 200-pound frame was rugged and tough.

The writer has to chuckle when he replays a baseball game between Lakeland High and Fort Myers back in 1948. Wright, then only 165-pounds, was catching Harry Coe, dreadnaught hurler. Richard Yanke, former Greenie and an excellent high school player, was on third. A ball was hit to the infield, and Yanke, big and fast, headed home at full speed. Wright completely covered home plate with his stocky frame and received the throw at home.

A terrific clash at the plate could be heard all over Terry Park. Result: Yanke never reached the plate; or, if he did, he bounced back toward third base. You would have to have seen the play to have believed that this seemingly small catcher didn't budge under the impact of the larger Yanke. From that time on we remembered Art Wright. Wright, in a word, was a good football player.

He is deserving of the recognition his colleagues gave him at the grid banquet here last week. Wink Will Play Belk's for Title First. Second Half Winners Meet in Two Out of Three Series Palms took an early lead and coasted to a 52-37 win over Gene's Amoco Service in a City Basketball League finale at the local gym last night. It was the last regular season game and only the playoffs between Belk's and Wink regain. The best two out of three series will probably start next week.

Palms took a 12-4 lead at the end of the first period and stretched the margin to 26-14 at the half-time. The two teams battled on even terms in the third period as each scored seven points but then Palms broke loose for 19 points in the final stanza to 16 for Gene's who hit a hot streak of shooting at the close of the ball game. The game was a fast but cleanly played affair with Referee "Lefty" Barker calling but 10 fouls throughout the entire contest. Buddy Roth and Len Harsh were on the front end of a fast breaking attack for Palms and worked the ball well under the basket. Tommy Raber and Bill Sheppard o'ayed a fine rebounding game with Raber dominating the defensive boards and Sheppard the offensive.

Wayne "Booger" Boyette played an aggressive floor game for the winners. Roth took scoring honors with 19 points, Harsh adding 14 and Sheppard 11. Louis Nester was the standout for Gene's both in play on the floor and in the scoring column. The chunky forward tossed in 14 points and rebounded well under the boards. Center Erie "Shanks' Lev-ens tossed in 10 points, including six in a late fourth period splurge and also did some fine rebounding for the losers.

Richard Noble contributed nine points to the Gene's Amoco total. Wink, winner of the first half. will meet Belk's, winner of the sec ond half, in the best two of three series next week. Wink has played in a leisurely manner the second half but is expected to open up with an all out attack in the playoff series.

A full-court press followed as the 'Cats played as if the score was extremely close. Florida fans went away happy because Rupp didn't have his way (Kentucky scored 97 points), Rupp had previously told Mauer that he didn't want to come to the Florida Gym because it doesn't have a three digit scoreboard.

In the second period, Anderson, a 6-3 pivot man, tore things apart as he tossed in 15 points and the Hurricanes outscored the Greenies 26-9.

It was all Manatee in the second half as the 'Canes were on the long end of 17-6 and 23-14 scoring margins in the last two quarters. Anderson was the big scoring gun of the game for Manatee with 23 points. David Robinson, Bob Anderson and Ken Leer tied for runner up honors to Anderson with 13 points. Little Eddie Reed played consistent ball for the Green Wave and took scoring honors with 15 points. Guard Johnny Gilliam tossed in nine points for the runner up honors.

Open Golf SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 17 (JPi Jaunty Jimmie Demaret and balding Chandler Harper, a couple of veterans of the golf tour, lashed Brackenridge Park's loose 6,400 yards for nine-under-par '62's today as a bulky field tore things up in general in tuneup rounds for the Texas Open. Demaret, the links fashion plate from Kiamesha Lake, N. had a course record-equalling 29 on the back nine. Harper, the Chatta nooga, stylist, did 30-32 for the 18.

These rounds, which Demaret said "ought to come tomorrow when they count," indicated that while the field is wide open as to favorites it will take a pretty bit of shooting to win.

Three Stetson Hoop Stars Suspended DELAND, Feb. 18 Dick Morland today suspended three Stetson University basketball players including the team's two leading scorers for playing in an outside game without his knowledge. John Imgrund, Jim Yonge and Ted Cassidy played with an independent team at Kissimmee a week ago, Morland said, adding that he did not find out about it until Stetson prepared to take the floor against Florida Southern College at Lakeland last night. Moreland did not use the players in th game pending investigation. The Stetson athletic committee is looking into the case.

"Playing in outside games is common in most colleges, but to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time it has happened at Stetson since I have been here," tlje coach said. "We hope to establish a policy that would take care of all future case of this sort." 1 Imgrund scored 276 points this season and Yonge, 246. Cassidy was the tallest man on the squad at 6 feet 9.

The Greenie team will meet the Cadet team in a preliminary tilt.

The Greenies surprised KMI 49 46 on the Fort Myers floor during the first meeting of the two teams. The Cadets will definitely be up for this game the Greenies, after an 80-39 pasting by Manatee, will have to show vast improvement to win. Coach trv ibach announced a shift in the Greenie lineup to get more life and rebounding into the team. Billy Kelly has been shifted from forward to the center slot with Bobby McCollough moving into the starting forward position. Kelly, although not tall, has good spring and can be of great help under the boards.

Starting at forward with McCollough will be Chick Hall, a scrappy senior who had a bad night at Manatee. Hall has shown tremendous improvement this year, especially on rebounding. The Greenies guard positions will be manned by the hustling pair of Eddie Reed and Johnny Gilliam, a small but scrappy and high scor ing pair who work beautifully together.

17 A matter of something like $2,500 is keeping big Allie Reynolds from signing his 1954 New York Yankee baseball contract. The Oklahoma righthander conferred for more than two hours with assistant General Manager Roy Harney in the Yankees' fifth avenue offices today, with no tangible results. "We're not too far apart," Reynolds said afterwards, as Harney nodded agreement. The veteran pitcher is reported asking $40,000 while being offered no more than the $37,500 he supposedly received last year. "It's reached the point where we have to take the matter up with George Weiss," Harney said, "And we haven't been able to reach Weisg today." The Yankees' general manager is at the Yankees' St.

Petersburg training camp. Another salary conference is scheduled at 10 a.m. (EST) tomorrow and Reynolds said he hoped to get the business over with and head for home. "This Is my wife's birthday," he added, "I should have been home today. I hope to get out at noon tomorrow.

He's going to Oklahoma City to clean up some of his oil business affairs before reporting back to the Florida camp. The Big Chief declined to discuss salary figures but hinted he was asking a raise when he pointedly asked a press group: "If you were in my shoes, do you think you'd be asking for more money?" He got a favorable chorus of "Yes." Reynolds pitched mostly in relief last year, compiling a 13-7 record. He relieved in 27 games in which the Yankees scored victories. Asked about whether he would prefer a starting role to that of reliever, Allie said: "It makeg no difference to me. I would prefer to be designated as one or the other.
