football opener 6 (o 0 Friday night at the Orange Bowl For three periods the stubborn Jacksontans had it all their wav while Miami High sputtered around unable to gel its '('-formation offensive rolling Hut the Generals lacked the punch In pound through tile burly Stingaree line which outweighed them 20 pounds per man Once they lost the hall at the three Again at the 10 And once more at the 18 before yielding the upperhand to their heavily favored westsiders In (he final quarter big weight edge began (o take its (oil and (lie Stingaree offense rolled 82 yards in a sustained drive that paid off a scant minute before time ran out Quarterback John Koey sneaked through center for the touchdown from-a yard out alter teaming with Halfbacks Doug McKay and speedy Jack Keye in the long drive Alan placekick for point was blocked but it was too late in the day for the weary' Generals to do much about overcoming those six big points Until the Stings initiated their victory' drive however the Generals had more than held their own and had won the sentimental support of a large part of the crowd of 11902 amazed fans who saw the game The Stings beset by numerous hackfield in motion penalties fumed around throughout the first half accasionaliv threatening to shake a man loose but never pro ducing a sustained attack while the plucky Generals charged from their own 47-yard stripe to the Miami High 10 in the first scoring threat After the Stings' Alan Tyson hooted out Jackson moved hark to the 18 before losing the hall And in the third quarter they exploded their best drive with Halfback Barney Waters and Ken Little leading an assault that carried 57 yards and fell short of a first down by inches on four-yard stripe Duel Willi Clcinson Tops Program Southern

running back a punt eight yards to the Jackson 44 in the first period of their qame at the Orange Bowl Friday night Miami High won with a last-minute touchdown 6 to 0 CHATTANOOGA TEN Johnny Douglas of Miami did a nice job of first basing for in the Southern Association this past season according to Bob Allen co-owner of that team Allen was encountered here on one of his cotton buying expeditions Allen revealed that Douglas who hit around 325 during the regular season had to leave the club during the Shaughnessv playoff betau-e of his father's death Douglas i a hustling hall player" Allen said "His trkk knee didn't bother hint and I am sure that Brookljn Is going to give him another chance to make good In the majors But Bonglas needs experlente and he also needs to learn to hit to right The Miamian is the propel ly of the Brooklyn club and was firmed to Mobile He suffered a knee injury while serving in the Navy but apparently an operation remedied that trouble Johnnv Is ambitious to plav big league ball and quite possible that he'll come through for the Dodgers More About That Southern League WE HATE TO BRING I that old story about Miami's chances of getting into the Southern Association hut Allen offered some Information contradictory to what our friend Joe Adams had to say on the subject retentiy After we had printed a story from a reliable source that Mami could buy the Little Rock franchise Adams issued a statement that "too much publicity had killed the chances of getting the Little Rwk club and that he was washing his hands of the matter Well from what Allen sa the Little Rock franchise is still available Allen says that if it could he sold the owner then would take a franchise in the Texas league yyhich will remain an A-l league instead of going AA like the Southern "Miami's dance from the closest Southern league city would be a great Alien said "It is about 750 miles from Atlanta and on a round trip that would he an addition of 1500 miles It costs about a dollar a mile to tram-pot a hall club so you can see how much extra expense would be Jacksonville Would Help League ALLFX THINKS that if both Miami and Jacksonville could be brought into the league it yvould be okay The fact that Jacksonville Is now a member of the Sally league is no barrier Allen savs because cities can he dratted in professional baseball just like players rity from a league can he drafted into a higher one by paying the league Allen explained "If Miami went into a leagup it could be drafted for the Southern by paying the league $15000" ot Enough Interest Or Money WE IOl' BT IF MIIMI yviil ever get in the Southern but just to keep the record straight we would like to report that the failure be because no one is interested enough to put up the money and not too much publicity as Adams said In fact Adams several times volunteered the information that he could get a gioup of public-spirited citizens to put up the morrev to bring a Southern league team to Miami Well if they are still interested and have the dough for such a speculative deal it can be done Incidentally this is the home of Chattanooga Lookouts who used Miami as a spur last year to inspire fans here to better support of the team Joe Engel neyer yns eincere in his promise to move the team to Miami He got Adams excited about the prospects and hecatise of the publicity won better support from the fans here Many Miami's amhtv to suppott baseball Some even question nether the newly organized Florida International league with Mami and Miami Rea a entries will be a financial success But that leag ip is much moie of reality than our chances of getting m'o the Soutnern Association and now that we've established that our Little Rock vain was accurate we're willing to forget the hole tning
