The Bears were tall and aggressive, but they were no match for the 1 smaller, smoother and speedier Lions.

That oid It. and the now famous "Ol Redhead' was off and running towards the top. Oddly enough. In addition to Barber, Harry H'ismer, another top sports spieler, was a student at Gainesville some yean back.

Wismer went to Florida. I believe, as a prospective football player during the Bachman regime and after being injured, eventually followed the coach up to Michigan State when he was given the Gainesville gate. PhilSarboe Quits Football Coaching Game SPOKANE, Wash, (. Young Phil Sarboe. citing the "uncer tainty and insecurity" of it all.

decided at 37 to quit football coaching for good and try some thing else. Sarboe resigned In December after five years as head coach at Washington State college. Yesterday he announced he had withdrawn as a candidate for the grid Job at Fresno (Calif) State college. "From now on rm going to take care of the first team my family," he explained. That first team includes Mrs Sarboe, a daughter, Linda, 10, and Joe, 6.

Sarboe was coach of an unbeaten Tacoma high school team when he was signed by the Pacific coast conference Cougars in 1943. His teams won 17, lost 26 and tied three at WSC. Last year was a particularly bad one for Sarboe's Cougars. They won three and lost six and amid rumors his one-year contract would not be renewed, Sarboe resigned. Forrest Evashevski, back-field coach at Michigan State, has been named to succeed him.

No Regrets Phil has ho regrets about his years of coaching but he is firm in his dtcision. "It's been wonderful. But after careful deliberation I have decided to get away from it completely. I figure it's best to make a break now. Football coaching is past the glamour stage for me.

It ceases to be a game in the big leagues. It a business and it's uncertain. There is no security. When a fellow sees a chance to cast in another direction he might be well to do it. "And that's my decision now.

Speedway Schedules Third Races Sunday Officials of the Lakeside speedway announced this morning that they will hold their third racing program of the season at the local dirt track Sunday afternoon. The officials also announced a reduction In ticket prices, and said that student tickets will be placed on sale at both Florida State University and Leon High. Students are urged to purchase their tickets in advance, since student tickets will not be sold at the gate.

For fans who still prefer the fast-vanishing daylight tilU. there are eight Sunday games on tap.

Earl "Red' Blatk, famed eoach of Army's many recent great grid machines, thinks baseball's gain was football's loss in the case of one Tyrus Raymond Cobb. Blaik and Cobb were both guests at a recent banquet, and while looking across the table at the Georgia Peach. Blaik several times remaiked. "My, what a halfback that fellow would have made. I men it, I'm not Just talking," he emphasized.

"With the quickness and the fight and the reflexes and the desire Cobb had, he might have been one of the great foot ball players of all time." Cobb was asked if he had ever played football as a boy back in Georgia. "No, we dldll't haTe any football then," he said. "But you know Colonel Blaik, my father was a state senator and I almost got art appointment to West Point." "When was that?" Blaik aiked. "About 1906." "You would have been In the class with Genera Hap Arnold. How much did you weigh when you started out In baseball?" "Around 178 or 180." Blaik shook his head.

"What a T-formation half-bark he would have been," Red sighed. "As a youngster I followed Ty's baseball career closely. I Imagine he was the greatest competitor sports has known." When the Pacific Const league announced that It was playing a 200-game schedule this year there were a lot of "oohs" and "aahs" over the extended grind of the season. But shucks, t'ain't nothing to what the oldtlmers played out there years ago. In 1803 the coast loop played 210 game slate, and In 1904 they hrd a 223 game card that didn't wind up until Nor 271 That, of course, was before the mushroom growth of football.

Veteran sports writer Bill Coram had an extremely interesting column recently on sports announce Red Barber, who will plnch-hit for Bill in his daily column while the scribe take leave to promote the Kentucky Derby. Corum tells how Barber, a 6an-ford boy who got his start at station WRTJP Gainesville mc -seeing the old Orange Grove string band, broke Into the bit time up in Cincinnati. The famed Redhead had to make three trips from Florida to the Ohio city at his own expense for auditions before he finally got his break. Contrary to the wide-spread belief, it vu not Larry McPhail who got Barber started. McPhail had talked Powell Crosley Into buying the Cincinnati Reds, and Crosley owned two radio stations, neither of which had ever aired any baseball games.

After acquiring the Reds, Crosley decided to broadcast a certain number of games over his smaller station, and it was the Cincinnati owner's brother Louis Crosley, who actually opened the gates for Barber. When the Crosley's were looking for an announcer to handle the games Louis said, "How about the young fellow in the I The clinic was scheduled to run Referee: Brn.

company sometimes referred to as the Mercer Bears, will attempt to avenge an upset defeat at the hands of the Florida State University casters here tonight when they met in a Dixie Conference tilt. Ccxich Bud Kennedy's FSU squad, which has been erratic on the road, but highly effective at home all season, handed the Bruins a surprising 57-45 defeat in Tallahassee Jan 17 in the first game of the season between the two clubs. In addition to man-handling the Bears as a whole, the Indians also held Wilkes to one of his least-productive nights from the field as they limited him to a pair of double-deckers. The rangy Bruin ace picked up 12 points from the free-throw line for a respectable total of 16 points, but even that mark was considerably below Wilkes' usual evening's work. Got 40 One Night The sharpshootlng senior forward owns a 20-point plus scoring total, and this season has staged some of the biggest scoring sprees in the south.

When Mercer beat Oglethorpe 125-54 last week, Wilkes chucked tn 40 points himself. Last week end he hit for 33 against Florida Southern, and he piled up 27 in the Bruins 75-72 loss to Tampa University, Quite a boy, this Wilkes. In addition to their eagle-eyed scoring ace, the Bears have a balanced lineup that includes Glenn Cassell, another dangerous point-maker, steady Mayes Dobbins, tall Nat Webb and several other sure-handed playmakers. FSU, battling to get back to the .500 mark in season's piay, will depend on big Tom Mc Laughlin, Lee Ben Jamin, Dick Kendall. Bill Welgel and Bob Pence to match the Mercer aces.

McLaughlin is FSU's leading pointmaiter with a total of 162 points in 15 games. Three other regulars are all over the century mark in scoring. Kendall has 124 points, and Benjamin and Weipel each have 118. The latter pair staged a close race for Seminole scoring honors last year before Benjamin finally won out. is 18-year old pitcher Paul $100,000 from the Pittsburgh Short Irons, Putters Vital In Tucson Golf TUCSON, Ariz, () Short irons and putters will be given particular attention in today's pro-amateur prelude to tomorrow's $10,000 Tucson open golf tourney.

These are likely to be the payoff clubs. The men who are sharpest around and on the greens will walk of! with the big money. After they get off the tees, woods aren't ol much importance to the pros on the easy par 70, 6,402 yard El Rio layout. There are only two par five holes. If degdes and putters aren't working, a golfer is out of luck, and money.

The course Is a flat chunk of converted desert. Sam Snead has been in trouble here by overdriving a 325-yard hole. There is a feeling that the winner will have to shoot an average of 66 for each of the four rqunds to win or tie for first. Lloyd Mangrum took the $2,000 first place money last winter with a 17-under par 263. This year's event has been named for Mangrum.

He arrived last night and announced he would be unable to play. He had hoped to make this his first tour ney since being injured last fall, Ben Hogan has passed up the Tucson event and is back in Texas. Jimmy Demaret will be carefully watched today. At the moment he is possessor of the favorite's role. The handsome Texan playing out of Ojal, Calif, snapped a losing streak last week and grabbed the Ben Hogun open at Phoenix.

Snead also looks dangerous, the West Virginian has complete confidence in his new outlook on putting. He is rated the best chance to beat the popular Demaret. the most improved player on the "If he can pick up the reins where he dropped them, he. not Waitkus, will open the season for us." Sawyer declared. "In fact.

Pirate general manager Roy Harney agreed yesterday to fork out that sum for the six-foot, two-Inch, 205-pound southpaw rho amazed observers with his Narbonne high schol and American Legion teams. He's pitched six no-hitters. The hundred grand transaction with a Hollywood twist, topping the $73,000 bonus glverl catcher "Pig" House by Detroit and the which went to Johnny Antonelli jf the Boston Braves, Dick Wakefield of Detroit, and one or two others, marks a new high price for a rookie. Can't Spend It What is young Pettit going to do with all that money? he laughed, "I can't touch it until I'm 21." ui9 labiici, urutt(Q Clblb, a Long Beach night watchman, and movie producer Frederick Stephani. the prodigy's agent, will keep a careful eye on It.

Pettit will pitch for New Orleans in the double A Southern Association this year Hampy said. As a bonus player he will have to be brought up to the Pirates in 1951. "We are very happy to land the boy," said Harney. "Our scouts have watched him closely for a long time, rate him very highly and believe he has a chance to become an outstanding pitcher in the majors." The bidding for the lad was spirited, witn the Brooklyn Dodg- ers and New York Yankees re ported in the runnlns until the Pirates raised their offer to what Harney admitted was a $100,000 deal. Pettit himself won't get all the $100,000 because of the unique contract he signed with Stephani oeiore nis recent graduation.

Major league scouts, by law couldn't contact Pettit until he was out of high school, but Stephani unbound by restrictions signed him to an $85,000 movie, radio and television contract, which was approved in court. A.iaio auuuieu wus contract and tossed in $15,000 more, -mast of which will go to Pettit. Stephani, however, will still have the movie, radio and video rights. Under the original contract, Pettit got $10,000 for signing, a bonus of $50,000, a three-year -salary of $18,000, $5,200 for his father, $1,500 for his attorney, 10 percent of screen profits and even $750 for honeymoon expenses if and when he marries. Pettit won 73 games and lost but 13 in the last thrte years.

The deal was closed after Dick Butler. Commlsioner A Chandler's representative, studied the Stephani contract and found that it "apparently violates no rule In baseball."
