Id ILL; CONDITION GRAVE PREP COACHES LINE IIP PLAYS FOR GRID W1E Wide Open Battle Is in Prospect Friday A big score game, with the four teams shooting the works to get across the goal line, is forecast by football men here, when Tampa's four major high school teams clash in the second annual Kiwanis Club football round robin, at Phillips Field Friday night. Coaches of Hillsborough, Jesuit, Plant and Jefferson have been plotting new plays all week, and plan to wage an all-out offensive battle In the four-cornered show.

The Jefferson Dragons will team with Plant's scrappy Panthers against Hillsborough and Jesuit, and the No. 2 and 3 Tampa teams are rated slight favorites to win over the Terriers, city champions, and the last place Jesuit eleven. Tickets Going Fast Because of the charity angle, with all proceeds being turned over to the Kiwanis Club underprivileged fund, and the fact that the game will mark the final appearance of many star high school players here, the contest is expected to attract a gathering of some 12,000 fans. Co-chairman Stewart Pomeroy of the Kiwanis football committee, said yesterday he anticipated at least a 50 per cent gain over last year's crowd of 8000. "Our advance ticket sale has been better," Pomeroy said, "and football fans here also realize that the game is not a sports freak, but a real contest.

Many of them stayed away last year because they didn't believe the teams were evenly matched. As- it turned out, Hillsborough and Jesuit won by a fairly big margin, but the game wasn't decided until the fourth quarter. "This year, with Jefferson and Plant stronger, the teams are more evenly matched, and it wouldn't surprise me if the contest ended in a tie." All-Stars Will Play Members of the all-city team named by members of the Times and Tribune sports staffs will take part in the game. The star eleven will be announced tomorrow morning. The playing schedule Friday night follows First quarter Plant vs.

Jesuit. Second quarter Hillsborough vs. Jefferson. Third quarter Jefferson vs. Jesuit.

Fourth quarter Plant vs. Hillsborough. The four football squads are going through light workouts each afternoon in preparation for the game. None of the coaches believe their boys need more strenuous work after playing long, hard schedules, and only NEW YORK, Dec. 3.

However, I can say this for the men who named the teams, they spent a couple of days carefully considering the records of every topflight player, his individual ability, his quality of teamwork, and his prospects for advancing into better classification of footbalL The Times-Tribune star team comes out Thursday morning. Each member of the first team will be awarded a gold football by the two local newspapers, to be presented at the annual banquets.

All of the boys on the first and second teams will be seen in action within a few hours of their selection, and there's a strong rJossibility that those who didn't make the first team might make the selectors look bad with a superlative performance in the Kiwanis round robin game Friday night. A NOTE FROM G. TAMPA, TO GOVERNOR CALDWELL: "DEAR GOVERNOR CALDWELL: "It seems that your idea of changing coaches at the University of Florida hasn't worked out so well. As you know the Gators have just wound up a win-less season, the worst in the history of football at the University.

3. (JP) The Rollins College Tars today voted to hold team scrimmage several times weekly until the Cigar Bowl game with the University of Delaware in Tampa on New Year's Day. Coach Jack McDowall, dissatisfied with the Tars performance in losing to the University of Chattanooga last week, said he had "put it up to the boys and they voted unanimously for hard work, then on New Year's Day we'll play those who are still on their feet." McDowall said he would keep his current crop of cripples out of the game Saturday with the Naval Air Station at Jacksonville. On the sidelines will be Cal Peacock, spinner back who helped defeat the Fliers in 1942; Henry Baxter, guard and star punter; Orville Thomas and Reedy Talton, right ends; and Dave Frazer, right half. All are out with leg injuries.

A backfield shift is also in the cards, McDowall indicated. At Chat in three years, sports writers across the nation picked Notre Dame today as the outstanding college football team of 1946.

Accompanying the pulchritudinous symbol of Main Street tobacco emporiums a half century past will be a delegation of cigar industry executives representing companies with factories in the Tampa area. Some of them played football in the days when all gains were made by booting or plunging and a forward pass was just a term for a presump-tious wink at a passing damsel. The princess will be a neutral rooter, belonging neither to the Dela-wares nor Seminoles, the redmen of the territory from which come the contending elevens, Delaware and Rollins College.

Davis was runnerup to his teammate Doc Blanchard, in the 1945 voting for the trophy and also finished second in 1944, when it was won by Les Horvath of Ohio State. Blanchard placed fourth this year, behind Davis, Charlie Trippi of Georgia and Johnny Lujack of Notre Dame, with Arnold Tucker of Army fifth.

Many of his friends feared that he had suffered a mild stroke a month ago because of the marked change in his condition, but Jacobs refused to admit any difference in his health. Dr. Nardiello, who said a consultation among several specialists already was in progress, refused to reveal the exact nature of Jacobs' illness, saying only that he was "very sick." Dr.

Nardiello, in a statement issued at 9:25 P. said that Jacobs was in a semicomatose condition, but that his blood pressure had decreased slightly, a hopeful sign. Members of his family were at his bedside. Jacobs, a native of New York, began as a newsboy, then became a ticket broker. After the death of Tex Rickard.

Jacobs began to promote fights. When Joe Louis appeared on the fistic horizon, he got him under exclusive contract.

"I occasionally miss one," said Finkle yesterday, "but not the important ones. For instance, when I was manager of Jimmy Sullivan, the fighter, I hexed 99 per cent of his opponents. When Sullivan ran for sheriff of Dade County I was overseas, but put a long-distance hex on his five opponents, and he beat them all in the first primary.

ONCE A FLORIDA BOOSTER, always a Florida booster, as witness the following note from Ulmer Hawkins, who is now living in Tucson, Arizona: "DEAR PETE: "Boy, they have a great football player out here in a little country high school that just won the state championship. His name is Wilfred "Whizzer" White.

They should call him "Bullet" White, as he is aU of that. "I stopped by Mesa High School a couple of weeks ago to have a talk with him, and he was tickled to death to have me talk about Florida, although the Army, Navy, Ohio State, Southern California, Arizona, Texas, and the Lord knows how many more are after him. "The morning paper came out that "Whizzer" may go to Florida. These guys may run me out of this country if he does. In fact, I may leave with him, that would be the satisfactory way to be comfortable around here.

I am sure he won't go to Arizona. He's too good to go to a dinky school like Arizona. In fact, he doesn't have TB, asthma, sinus, or -ny of the troubles that would require him to stay here like 95 per cent of the population. "I have written Coach Wolfe but haven't had a reply. If the boy derides to go I am sure Wolf would like to have him.
