(JP) The major college football powers, their eyes on national honors had better watch out today. The schedules in the main comprise "breathers" for the big fellows, and therein lies the danger of upsets. For instance, top-ranking Michigan goes against Northwestern, always potentially dangerous in the Big Nine.

Louisiana State had the educated toe of tackle Holley Heard to thank for a 14 to 13 victory over Boston College's hot-and-cold gridders.

More than 36,000 perspiring fans saw LSU smack BC from the ranks of the unbeaten here last night in an intersectional battle played in southern-style heat. Behind the canny piloting of quarterback Y. A. Tittle, LSU scored once before the game was five minutes old and took advan tage of BC fumbles to hold a 14 to 0 lead at halftime. Boston College's "second half team" smashed back after the Intermission for touchdowns in each of the last two periods, but on the last score Tom Brennan's conversion placement went wide to leave LSU its one-point margin of victory.

Brenan Sltko Panelli out of their class? Yet the Gators have lined up schedules for 1948 and 1949 with teams that would make an Ail-American selector shiver. One thing for sure Florida doesn't play weak The Gators have the second-best ground gainer in the country in fleet Bobby Forbes who has piled up 387 yards In three games In 36 pigskin-lugglngs.

He trails Jimmy Nutter of Wichita by 16 yards. If he overtakes the Kansan, he'll be the nation's peace-setter. He leads the Gators in touchdowns with three or Florida's five tallies two against Auburn and a 38-yard dash against N. Texas. PITCHING 'EM with a lot of accuracy is his backfield mate, Doug Belden, who has completed 16 of 44 passes for 297 yards.

This week Julian Schamberg, third string Gator quarterback, withdrew from the team saying: "I have lost interest in going to school and playing football." Lazarous Lewis, who does the extra-pointing chores, and Danny Sliman will move into Schamberg's shoes as subs for Doug Belden. John Cox, field general for the team, also may move up. After the N. C. State game, the Gators have North Carolina, Fur-man, Georgia, Tulane, Miami and Kansas State left on the slate.

Gritty Gators Backed By Hopeful Students By SANDY SCIINIER (Miami Dally News Staff Writer) a Clark The entire play carried 4S Anoiner prep tut is on tne agenda, Gesu's Crusaders playing St Mary's Corsairs at 8:15 at Moore park in a South Florida Catholic league skirmish. Gesu will be favored over the lighter, less experienced St. Mary's eleven. For Ponce's Noppenberg, the Beach offers a chance for revenge, since his Cavaliers lost to his ex-teammate's eleven last year, 25-13. Nobody ever has beaten my Ponce teams two times straight," voluble Noppy declared today.

"We're planning to beat 'em by 22 points." THE 22-POINT figuring by Noppenberg isn't the result of higher mathematics on his part, but was arrived at by adding one point to the margin run up on the Beach by Miami High Tuesday night. Noppenberg would like nothing better than to outdo the Stlngarees. Despite Noppenberg's ever-pres ent optimism, his Cavaliers will be underdogs tonight against the heavier Typhoons. The Ponce fore-wall will be spotting approximately 18 pounds per man to the 198-pound average Typhoons. Ponce holds a 2-1 record, with a 46-18 victory over Gesu and a 19-6 triumph over Lake Worth.

Its lone defeat was a 6-0 one by South Broward. Miami Beach defeated Tech High, 13-7, before losing to Miami High, 27-6, Tuesday. The Typhoons came out of the Stingaree tussle well-battered and the Cavaliers may have en edge in condition, despite several minor ailments themselves. ED McGEE, 135-pound scrapper, will start the game for Ponce at right tackle, replacing Bud Nelson, who has been slowed by an injured leg. Little scatback Doug Preston has a bad ankle while Malcolm Johnson has been bothered by a carbuncle behind his ear.

Johnson will be the Cavaliers chief offensive threat, having scored five touchdowns thus far. Johnson is a hard-hitting, deceptive runner. Both teams, however, may rely on their passing attacks. Each has a lefthanded tosser, the Cavaliers with Sonny Parrish and the Beach with southpaw Fred Diamond. Doug Cove and Ed Levitt also can throw for the Beach.

Several changes have been made in the Beach line. Jim Yonge, who performed well against Miami High, will open in place of Bob Johnson at left end: Art Gilbert will replace Tank Frredlander at right tackle, and Murray Leverant will take over left guard for Martin Brandt. The backfield will remain the same. Bob Feller's, All-Stars Win 7 To 2 Decision SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18.

UP) Bob Feller's barnstorming all-star baseball team beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-2, before 7,788 fans at Seal's stadium last night. Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh paced the all-star attack witha three-run homer in the first inning. Feller pitched four innings, fanned seven and gave up two hits. Second-ranking Notre Dame does n't figure to have much trouble at Lincoln, where the Irish resume their rivalry with the cornhuskers, while Texas, in No. 3 position in the National standings, is the choice over Arkansas.

AND SO it goes, with none of the day's major contests appearing too hard to call on paper. Due to the slump of some potent clubs of the past such as Washington State, DuqueBne, Oklahoma A. New York University, Syracuse, Pitt and Fordham, the top teams can look for a comparatively easy Saturday. California, most Improved club In the Pacific coast conference and currently ranking No. 4 in the nation, takes on Washington State.

Unbeaten and unscored on Georgia Tech, fifth in the week's ratings, meets Auburn in one of the south's bigger contests. The East, which last week had an imposing concentration of top-notch games offers little in matinee at tractions. New York will be vir tually deserted by grid fans with only NYU and West Virginia on the scene. At Philadelphia's Franklin Field eighth-ranking Penn appears against a crippled Columbia crew. Army entertains the term is prob ably correct Virginia.

Poly at West Point. Colgate tackles Princeton, Cornell meets Navy, Penn State is at Syracuse and Holy Cross vies with Harvard. An intersectional offering is Yale-Wisconsin. In the midwest sixth-rated 111! nois and Minnesota offer an inter esting contest Iowa goes against Ohio State and Indiana meets Pitt, the doormat of the big nine" teams. San Francisco comes east to meet Marquette.

DOWN SOUTH. Kentucky seeks to halt Vanderbilt's streak, north Carolina meets William and Mary, Alabama goes against Tennessee, Mississippi is pitted against Tulane and Duke plays Maryland. Besides the Texas-Arkansas duel, other big clashes In the southwest See Rice vs. Southern Methodist, Georgia vs. Oklahoma Aggies, Baylor vs.

Texas Tech and Tulsa vs. Georgetown in an intersectional contest. On the coast, the Washington State-California clash takes prece dence over UCLA vs. Stanford, Call fornia vs. Oregon State, Santa Clare vs.

College of the Pacific. Jockeys Pulled Off Mounts In Paris PARIS. Oct 18. iJP) The Transport Ministry announced all norse racing had been suspended for the duration of the transportation strike. The strike started Saturday, but did not become generally effective until Monday.

Races at the Engheim course were called off yesterday after pari-mutuel employes, annoyed over labor disputes, invaded the track and pulled jockeys from their mounts just as they were going to the post Earlier employes had asked track authorities for a bonus to cover extra expenses incurred in getting to the track due to the transportation strike. Their employers consented, but said the amount would be fixed at the end of the day. The workers refused. SUMMARY Miami RolHna Fieler LE R.

-F Thm Buffalo Bills and the New York Yankees continue to share tha eastern division leadership in tha All-America conference became cf the Dodgers. Brooklyn's tail-nders prevented the Bills from moving ahead of the Yanks by battling the Bills to a 14-14 stalemate in a nigfil gam at Ebbets field. Bob Hoernschemeyer and Phil Martinovich enabled the Dodgers to effect a tie. Hoernschemeyer dashed for a touchdown and Mu tinovich followed with his Zt consecutive conversion to tie tha count in the final period. The 21-year-old halfback, obtained by the Dodgers in a three-cornered swap, established a record by gaining 179 yards in 13 tries.

The rrou rnark of 13 was held by Marion Motley of the Browns. Brooklyn opened the scoring with an 80-yard drive in the first period that was climaxed when Al Akins raced over from the IS. Tha Bills tied the score on the next kickoff when Alex Wizbicki took the ball on his nine and scampered 91 yards to pay dirt The Bills moved ahead in tha second on an 80-yard drive that ended with Chet Mutryn scoring from the 12 but the Bills were checked thereafter.

Brooklyn 11 tuel. fusion From the salvos of boos hurled at the white-shirted legions from time to time and the volleys of cheers accorded the 31-man Tar squad at certain junctures, the patrons were unimpressed by the initial victory of 1947 to be hung in the gridiron trophy room of the University of Miami.

The Hurricanes' philosophy a touchdown a week nets an occa sional squeak evidently has left the faithful a trifle cold, even if this laborious method did halt the run of ill luck andor dismal failures in three previous contests. OK PERHAPS the fans were, to a degree, being generous-hearted to the little upstate rival whose 29 players participating fought a terrific fight never gave up the ghost on frequent occasions had the big ger, better-manned home team back-pedalling rapidly-and came dangerously close to tying or win ning the game two or three times. Indeed, all that saved the bacon of the Gables eleven was a for ward pass play fitted into the wan ing seconds of Period Two which clicked with perfect precision. It was the redoubtable Hal John ston who, seeing the time ticking out after Miami had gained possession on an out-of-bounds punt at its own 4.1, opened up with a flurry of overheads. A flurry? Well, just two.

There were 30 seconds to go in the half, and he had to work fast. The first was a 13- yard flip to Ed Moyer, who downed the ball at the Rollins 42. On the next snap Hairbreadth Hal faded back and to the south side, barely escaping a swipe at him by a Tar tackier, peered into the distance for a receiver, finally espied Andy Novak hoofing it for dear life to the southeast coffin corner. Hal let fly with a long, arching aerial. It came down smack into the hands of the U-M end man and over he stepped into the land of milk and honey.

Ghaul' bid for the seventh point was blocked by R. Chisholm. IT WAS a 42-yarder and a rep lica of the play that scored on Florida last fall at Gainesville. That was not the lone bright spot in the Hurrican performance last night which was slightly more spirited than against TCU and Baylor, but it was the one payoff play. Other opportunities by the Hur ricanes were frittered away by fumbles and an interception.

But Rollins, too, had its chances to dent touchdown territory. Al ways, though, it seemed the ominous cotton-topped figure of Bob (Whitey) Campbell loomed up in their path. Campbell, the sophomore basketball star, never used before on offense until last night in a Hurri cane football game, proved a ball of fire and if he didn't actually steal the laurels for the vening at least he shared them. Three times he speared Rollins passes when the Tars were on the move, besides lugging leather with a carefree abandon the Hurricanes haven't been accustomed to displaying this season. The first time Whitey stuck his frame into the picture was in the first period, when Sam Hardman flung one.

Campbell pulled it in on the Miami 15 and as he was tackled lateralled to Johnston, who brought it up to the U-M 23. Then, as the Hurricanes began a drive that bogged down at the Rollins 14, Campbell got the ball for the first time intentionally. He sprinted 13 on the first play around end and on the next slithered through right tackle for 22. A few plays later the Tars' defense began to stiffen and Harry Ghaul tried a field goal from the 21, which went wild. IN THE second quarter the Tars had rolled from their own 20 to Miami's 26, when Hardman ballooned another.

This time the omnipresent Campbell gave a wi)d leap into the air and grasped it at his own 12 to halt the threat The third and last time was the "charm," sure enough. It saved the touchdown, beyond all doubt and perhaps a 7-to-6 beating. Opening the second half Ernie Mazejka had. grabbed the kickoff and hustled back 20 when the ball left his hands without warning and Rollins recovered. Next the Tars had the pigskin at the U-M UAINESVILLE, Oct.

18. With, three games of the 1947 season gone by the boards, Miami's contributions to the University of Florida football, machine have accomplished the following: Frank Dempsey has played first string right guard in the North Texas State and Auburn games and has averaged 50 minutes' time In each. This week the 208-pounder was moved out to the right end position, a spot he is expected to play henceforth. John Gilbert, third string center, has been on the bench all three games. First and second string centers Jimmy Kynes and Bam Webster, have been taking turns and as yet Gilbert hasn't been given the nod to go in.

Coral Gables' Jim Kehoe Is playing first strins; right tackle on the combination freshman-varsity squad and displayed good offensive and defensive form in the Baby Gators' 19-8 loss to the Pensacola Naval Air Station Goslins in their season debut. JIM WILL be called on to bear the brunt of line attack, tonight when the jayvees take on the University of Miami Hurricanes in Orlando. Last game on the "B'' Gator schedule is with University of Georgia boys Nov. 20 In West Palm Beach. The Fighting Gators of Coach "Bear" Wolf may have lost 13 straight games but don't count them out.

They've got plenty of spunk and good spirit and plenty of moral support from the student body. And that means a lot to any team. Tonight In Raleigh, N. C. the Orange and Blue battle Coach Beattie Feather.

North Carolina State Wolfpack who have beaten Davidson, 14-0 and Clemson, 18-0. The Saurians have lost to Mississippi State, 14-6; to N. Texas State, 20-12, and to Auburn last Saturday, 20-14.

With a touchdown just around the corner, Horton took the ball and raced up to the line of scrimmage, jumped and pegged one directly at another Tar. But there was Campbell again, this time to save the day, as he snagged the oval and was downed in the end zone. That extricated the locals from their last dangerous spot The Hurricanes, as aforementioned, had opportunity knock aev-eral'timea but Just that once opened the door, Richard.

BIG GHAUL almost got away and with a little good blocking might have in the openmg chukker. About midway he slipped through right tackle from the U-M 30, going through a big hole, and veered to the north sideline. He was giving it his all, but Harry is no speed demon and a couple of Tars overtook him at the Rollins 28. But on the next snap Davies fumbled away the chance. Miami came right back with a drive which, as previously etated, ended when Ghaul failed at his goal from the field.

In the third quarter with, Clive Sharder chunking the passes Miami made another drive from its own 38, and one time taking a chance with fourth down and three to go and making it as Ghaul plunged seven yards. They ad vanced to the 18 when Ghaul fum bled for a 4-yard loss and on the next lineup Shrader's pass intended for Yovicsin was Intercepted by Neil Justice at the Rollins four. The fourth period was half over when Miami staged a short march only to end. when Ghaul fumbled and Sakkis recovered at the Rol lins 34. Miami was right back though.

with Kasulin racing 15 from his own 37 and then five more when a Kasulin pass struck in the hands of Harry Hancock. The hustling Tars put on some stirring offensive exhibitions them selves. Early in the game Darty whipped one to O. Mooney for 25 yards and on the succeeding play Hardman aimed one at R. Chisholm in the clear that may have been a touchdown, but it slipped from his hands.

A Hardman-R. Chisholm aerial in the second quarter was good for 25 when Injayohork and Kasulin batted it into the latter'a arms but a little later Campbell got in their way. A FEW MINUTES afterwards Ghaul punted and the fleet Horton snatched It at his 17, made as If to lateral, and staged a dazzling run of SO yards, eluding tackier after tackier before big Ernie Settembre nailed him at the U-M 33. They got little beyond that mark. Near the end of the game Justice hooked on up to Polak for 28 yards.

that was a beauty, carrying to the Miami 24. but there the Hurricane wall bedame concrete and hurled them back. Although they wasted most of it the Hurricanes piled up yardage. showing 318 yards net gain to the enemy's 188 with 252 rushing against 93. and in first downs they led, 16 to 9.

Citation and Relic, are scheduled to compete in Florida this winter and it may give the Gator state its first Kentucky Derby winner since romped off with the Roses in 1938. Assurance that Florida would get the big two came when Circle Ranch announced that Relic would be campaigned in the south. Thus the Saratoga Hopeful winner finally will match speed and stamina with Citation, who has cleaned up just about everything else, and the' winner probably will become the Derby favorite but remember, only four winter book favorites have won the Derby since 1919.
