However, It is a custom that has The playev want it, and the fans are 9 7 11 v5 7 J4 tI K' 'V, -t y. 1 Because the fans are newspaper customers they are always right, so each year we risk the wrath of fine youngsters, their proud parents, and their close friends, and name a set of all-star teams. Our good friend.

Ash Wing, former president, and now secretary and jack-of-all-trades in the Florida State Sports Writers Association, has a few dozen well -selected words on the all-star subject. He writes: "DEAR PETE: "The letter from W. A. Campbell, of Clearwater, which appeared in your column this morning was heartening. In the five years I've counted ballots for All-State this one of the very few times In which a fan has put forth a suggestion for the Florida State Sportswriter's Association "All "It seems to me that because it is impossible for sportswriUrs to see more than a tenth of the high school football games played that fans who see an unusual prospect might write his local sportswriter outlining the candidates ability.

"In all the years I've been connected with All Slate and Ail South ern I have not yet received one suggestion from a fan. I've been appreciative of the fact that complaints have been few, perhaps, but I recall many, many times I'd have welcomed suggestions. "In counting the ballots last year I came across many ties. "At the time I was living in Ocala and Joe Michaels, the Florida football player was home for Christmas vacation. I called Joe in and he was able to help me a great deal with pertinent information on certain players he had actually seen or played against.

"Incidentally, last year's All State drew my first major complaint. It came from a sportswriter on a certain paper that wrote and said he didn't even use the All-team in his paper because the team didn't include a single player from his section of the state. I answered his letter stating that All-teams are not picked from certain "sections" but from ballots and information sent in by sports writers. The writer who complained. Incidentally, didn't send in a ballot.

"Picking All State is a thankless job as we all know. And. as you know, a job that we sportswriters would gladly hand over to any other organization who would handle it as impartially as we do. But inasmuch as we are 'stuck' with this Job what say we enlist the aid of high school football fans all over the state? It would help immeasurably, I'm sure. "All a fan would have to do is to write to his local sports editor telling about the boy he thinks should be considered for All State.

It would be important to outline the player's abilities and other vital information. "What d'ye you think? "ASH WING, FSSA." (Note) We agree that Brother Wing has hit the nail on the head.

state doesn't mean half as much as the facts that Johnny has scored ten touchdowns this year, is a fine passer, a good defensive man, and big enough to play college football. If more records are sent to the state's sports writers a better line can be secured on players deserving of top rating. As chairman of the Florida division of the All-Southern high school team last year we had much the same experience as Brother Wing. We believe the same sports writer who complained to Wing sent in a howl to this department about his "section" being neglected. He also refused to send in a ballot for the all-southern.

Our system of naming a committee of ten sports writers representing ten different sections of Florida was Southern, and we are happy to report that the vast majority of the boys named on the big team were immediately offered college scholarships, and are now on football squads all over the The fact that such outstanding players as John Kosey, Miami back, has entered Vanderbilt; Art Ross, Orlando man squad; and Jim Haslam, giant St. Petersburg tackle, is at Tennessee, Is somewhat discouraging to Florida fans, but Coach Wolf assures us that most of the prep material he sought savage Game FROM VOLS Justice Throws Two Scoring Passes By TED SMITS Associated Press Sports Editor KNOXVILLE, Oct. 30. Charlie Justice's two first quarter touchdown passes kept North Carolina in the dwindling list of major undefeated football teams today by de feating Tennessee, 14 to 7. It was North Carolina's 13th consecutive vic tory.

Tennessee, starting slowly, came back savagely to score In the third period on J. B. Proctor's pass to J. W. Sherill.

The Vols challenged all the rest of the way. The most brilliant run for 90 yards was canceled by a clipping penalty. Near the end of the first half, Hal Littleford of Tennessee took Justice's punt on his 10 and ran the length of the field. The officials ruled, however, that Ermal. Howard clipped Hosea Rodgers, the mighty North Carolina fullback.

The ball was called back to the Tennessee nine yard line to a mighty chorus of boos from the record crowd of 50,000. Police Rescue Officials Between halves several hundred spectators, mostly boys, closed in on the officials but police dispersed them. Until the last period Tennessee kept Chco-Choo Justice's running fairly well under control, but Rodgers, the other half of North Carolina's offensive punch, took over on behalf of his shifty teammate. The traditional game between the two powerful Southern teams began mechanically and then became tensely dramatic. North Carolina's first touchdown was ground out tne nrst time tne invading team got the ball.

Eleven plays were required to go 55 yards. Then from the three-yard line Jus tice passed to Bill Flamisch in the end zone. A few moments later Hall Little-ford's only bad punt of the game set North Carolina going from the Tennes see 27. This time Justice passed from the 12 to Art 'Veiner who was charging through the end zone. Bob Cox made both conversions and it looked as if the nation's third ranking football team was on its way to obliterating Tennessee.

Vols Rally Savagely But Tennessee, playing before the biggest home crowd in its history, decided otherwise. Canceling of Little-ford's 90 yard gallop seemed to provide the necessary spark. The stage was set for Tennessee's touchdown in the third period when Rodgers fumbled and Alan Fielden recovered on the Tennessee 25. A penalty put the ball back to the 20 Short passes and bucks carried to the North Carolina 47 and there it was that J. B.

Proctor, the injured Ten nessee star, went in to throw to Sher-rill on the 20. He ran the rest of the way to score. Late in the fourth period North Carolina charged down the field but folded up on the Tennessee 24 when Justice's hard pass to Weiner was missed on the goal line. Justice, 165 pounds of cool, sparkling football player, passed accurately, punted beautifully including one quick kick that traveled 74 yards but was watched so closely that he made only 47 yards in 13 running tries. Frequent penalties hurt Tennessee all through the first half.

(U.R) Tailback Tommy Korczowski and Fullback Jack (Flying) Cloud hit Richmond with a stunning one-two scoring punch in the second period to lead William and Mary to triumph, 14-6, over the Richmond Spiders before some 10,000 homecoming fans here today. The Spiders never fully recovered after Korczowski and Cloud ripped the lid off the bitterly-fought defensive battle. William and Mary threatened dangerously first with a drive to the Richmond one in she second period before Halfback Graham Morris punted out to the William and Mary 49. On the next play, Korczowski blasted 19 yards to the Richmond 32, where Cloud took over to shake off a half-dozen Richmond players and bulldoze downfield to the end zone in one long run. Halfback Buddy Lex kicked the first of his two extra points.

It was Korczowski again with Halfback Jack Bruce heading up a William and Mary drive in the third period to the Richmond 23.

SPARTANS LOSE TO NAVY ELEVEN BY 37-32 SCORE Sensational Game Is Watched by 15,000 PENSACOLA, Oct. 30. (IP) The University of Tampa football team, four-touchdown underdog in pre-game estimates, make suckers out of the experts by holding the Pensacola Navy to a 37 to 32 win in one of the most sensational grid scoring duels in the history of this state todays Some 15,000 fans witnessed the contest for benefit of the Community Chest in the Pensacola area.

It was highlighted by long aerials featuring the tossing of Tommy Haddock, former Jacksonville Beach prep star, Vernon DeMois from New York City, both of the Navy team, and Julian Schamberg of Tampa. George Beling, former University of Pennsylvania star and now a Midshipman, scored twice in the first period for the Navy. Jim Snider, former Naval Academy end, and Haddock added two more in the second. Jim Hill Is Star Henry Brewer and Haddock made two more markers in the fourth quarter and Ed Gillespie add'i one of the extra points. The outstanding performer of the day was Jim Hill, left end for Tampa, and a graduate of Hillsborough High.

He covered two fumbles in the second quarter and caught one pass for a touchdown to play a leading part in all three Spartan touchdowns in the second period. Holland Adlin took a pass in the final period for Tampa and played an equally important role in defense in the closing minutes.

(Reorganization of the Mexican Baseball League was announced today as a step toward forming a new circuit next season.

The league folded up Sept. 19, a month before the end of the season. Two of the six clubs dropped out in July and baseball was a losing game. Jorge Pasquel, rich sportsman and customs broker, last night resigned as president. He has poured a fortune into the game.

The revamped league hopes to have an eight-club circuit, as in 1946. By BILL BOYD Tribune Sports Correspondent SERRINE FIELD, Greenville, S. Oct. 30 Florida's Gators pounced back from a severe beating last week to score in every period this afternoon as they downed the Furman Hurricanes, 39-14, before a Homecoming crowd of 6500 disappointed South Carolina fans. The Gators got off to a fast start as Chuch Hunsinger dashed 70 yards for the first score on the first running play of the game.

The speedy Illinois lad was never in real trouble as Gator blockers cleared the way for him. The second Florida score came later in this same period as big John Cox, husky Gainesville junior, bulled his way over from the Furman two-yard line. The only Gator score in the second 'period came when Doug Belden, passing brilliantly this afternoon, ran almost all the way across the field to his left and flipped a neat pass in the hands of End Tommy Bishop, who went over from the five. Gator Passes Click The first score in the second half was the result of a short pass fr)m Angus Williams to Hal Griffin. Griffin gathered in the ball on the Furman 45 and then raced down the sideline to score standing up.

On this run he displayed some beautiful broken field running, leaving three befuddled Furman would-be-tacklers sprawled on the ground. The last two Gator scores came In the final period. The first of the two was the results of an 85-yard drive. Russ Godwin carried from the Gator 15 to the midfield stripe. Beach then gave him a hand in carrying to the Furman 44.

Williams then passed again to Griffin who raced to the Hurricane 18. Beach scored two plays later from the Furman five. After intercepting a Furman pass the Gators scored their final six-pointer when Williams passed to Vic Vaccaro from the Furman 19. Lewis kicked three points and missed three. Hurricanes on Long Runs The first Furman tally came in the second period as Charlie Johnson, shifty little halfback, raced 67 yards and the score.

He came out of nowhere to breeze by the Gator sec ondary. The second and final score came with the game almost over. Lemon Moates, 170-pound Macon, boy, intercepted, a Williams' pass and tight-walked the sidelines for the score. Johnny Little kicked both extra points for Furman. The Gators got 15 first downs.

Furman was able to collect only five. The Gator passing attack was at its best of the season. Belden threw eight times completing three for a total of 70 yards. Angus Williams connected three times for a total 104 yards. In the last play of the game Wil- (Continued on Page 3 Column Z)f PENN TROUNCES W-L ELEVEN BY 40-7 MARGIN PHILADELPHIA, Oct.

(JP) The football Vikings of Missouri Valley College are rolling steadily along on an all-victorious voyage that stands at 38 games and may land them in the Cigar Bowl at Tampa, again New Year's night. The long Journey, skippered by amiable Volney Ashford, started back in 1941, and is being hailed as the longest undefeated, untied record of modern football for any one coach at a single school.

Ashford's Vikings sunk Culver-Stockton of Canton, Thursday night, 47 to 0. It was Missouri Valley's sixth victory of the season. They've scored 153 points and yielded but 13. Their closest call was against Central College Oct. 15 when they squeezed through 7 to 6.

Officials of the Cigar Bowl said today Missouri Valley is one of five teams in the running for a New Year's assignment in Tampa.

30. (P) For the third week in a row, Columbia snatched defeat from victory as Cornell's spirited sophomore stormed back with two touchdowns in the final 10 minutes to pull out a 20-13 decision. Trailing 13-7 after 4:08 of the fourth quarter, the Cornell team that had been bottled up since the first period, started to roll. It must have taken added hope from the fact that Charles Klemovich, the Lions' extra point expert, twice failed to add a vital point after Lou Kusserow's second touchdown. Then the Big Red started to come.

They moved 67 yards in seven plays for the big touchdown that knotted the count at 13-13.

PETERSEN BALTIMORE, Oct. 30 (U.R) Notre Dame's mighty football legions, which display their wares for paying customers every gridiron Saturday, put on their weekly show before 63,314 persons in Babe Ruth Stadium today, with Navy the victim. The score was Notre Dame 41; Navy 7 Actually, it wasn't a ball game at any time. The Fighting Irish could have won by any margin they wished, but when they scored touchdowns the first two times they got possession of the ball, they more or less called it quits. They coasted from that point on and came close to disgracing themselves.

They allowed Navy to score the first time in three years the Midshipmen have gone to such extremes against Notre Dame and the Irish also came periously close to having their touchdown a period record broke.

(U.R) Georgia Tech grabbed Duke's Blue Devils by the tail today and was more than happy to come out of the threshing battle with a 19-to-7 victory that kept the Yellow Jackets among the unbeaten elite.

A crowd of 32,000 watched the Georgians, getting the worst of the breaks and baffled by a defense pattern that would have made a general jealous, ramble from behind to win. Rallying around the heroic figure of Tackle Al Derogatis, Duke got the jump on the visitors and made a gamble to hold on to the ball at all costs pay off until late in the third period. Brown Is Star Tech's famed passes were far off the target but the Jackets kept punching behind the generalship of Jimmy Southard and Joe Brown, Plant City, boy, and got on the top end of the score in the third period. They were in full command at the finish to extend their record to six victories in as many games. For Duke, it was the first defeat but the Blue Devils had been tied their first two outings and had not been expected to put up so stout a battle today.

Big Derogatio, a standout In the double-tough Duke wall, made the first break when he fell on a Georgia Tech fumble on the second play. Though Duke got nowhere and the ball went over, Tech stalled on its own 26 and Derogatis rumbled into the (Continued on Page 2 Column 2) SOUTH CAROLINA IS CRUSHED BY WEST VIRGINIA MORGANTOWN, W. Oct. 30. West Virginia poured on the power in the second half today and walloped South Carolina, 35-12, before 24,000 Homecoming fans.

The touchdowns did not start coming until after the Gamecocks had given the Mountaineers a thorough scare in the first two periods. This was due primarily to the accurate right arm of Quarterback Harold Hagan. Jimmy Walthall, passing ace of the Mountaineers, got his game working in the third quarter and the West Virginians aided somewhat by South Carolina fumbles, marked up three touchdowns.

MAVHEW ANN ARBOR, Oct. 30 Unbeaten Michigan stayed on the victory trail today by edging a stubborn and courageous Illinois football team 28 to 20. But the Wolverines had an assist from the breaks in chalking up their 20th consecutive win. A homecoming sellout crowd of 85,938 saw lady luck hand out two favors that helped win the ball game. The first came in the form of an offside penalty that nullified Dike Eddleman's 94-yard dash into the Michigan end zone on the second half kickoff play while the scoreboard read 7-7.

Moments later, officials ruled Chuck Ortmann's pass to Dick Rifenburg complete for interference on the Illini 1-foot line when Rifenburg dropped the ball as he was hit by three Illinois defensemen. It took Michigan two plays to cash in on that one. Made A Fight Inspired Illinois made a fight of it all the way, however, sparked by Eddleman's punting which averaged 41.1 yards on six kicks and the amazing pass work of Bernie Krueger, who.
