My eoneern Is that playing talent may be spread too thin and hurt the caliber of the game if expansion comes too fast.

"I've always thought that the right player in the right park would someday break Babe Ruth's home run record. With more games being played as the result of the expansion, this becomes, even more of a threat And, cer- tainly, someone is going to bat .400 some time." Williams was the last major! leaguer to have batted over .400 .406 in 1941. i 1950 Coronado ED 4-9624 Popular Line of Rods Reels -The Tackle Shop That Sells And Services lackie FISHING and LAND MAPS I'AMEY LAND SURVEYING CO.

Horner declared that "You'll never see better team than Duke was for a nine-minute period against Navy." "Lonely End" Duke uses the, "lonely end" on every play, throws a lot and runs more and Horner calls quarterbacks Don Altman and Walt Rappold "two of the best quarterbacks in football." Altman is a junior, Rappold a sophomore. Arkansas has only one senior in its starting backfield Joe Paul Alberty at fullback. George McKinney, the pass pitching quarterback, is a junior and his understudy, Bill Moore, is a soph. Halfback Lance Alworth, the keyman of the backfield, is a junior. So is right halfback Darrell Williams.

MYERS IRON WORKS 2315 Anderson Ave. 0 5-6311 Bm Mat i I I DALLAS, Dec. 27 CD Arkansas isn't highly experienced as top college football teams go but it can almost call Duke, its foe in the Cotton Bowl next Monday, "son." Duke will be making the rounds of the major bowls and the team that tries in the Dallas post-season classic may be about the greenest of them all. There are only seven seniors on the entire squad and all are starters.

Thre juniors and one sophomore round out the first team. Of 35 of the first squad 18 are sophomores. Senior Squad Arkansas, on the other hand, has 11 seniors of which six are starters and the other five are juniors. The Razorbacks' entire first string squad of 36 has only 14 sophomores. 'But don't let little things like experience and age indicate that Duke will be a pushover for Arkansas.

"The most colorful and offensive-minded team Coach Bill Murray has produced in his ten years at Duke "is the description given the Blue Devils by Jack Horner, veteran sports editor of the Durham, N.C., Herald, who has followed and written about all the Murray-coached outfits. Horner says Duke is a fine football team and it was unfortunate that the Blue Devils played their worst game on national TV against UCLA. "There's one thing sure," he declares, "The Duke team that goes against Arkansas at Dallas will not be the same one that played so badly against UCLA." He explained that many things contributed to this fiasco, "ft was the first trip to the West Coast for many of the players and certainly they would go to a movie studio before the game. The trip out was a tough one, the plane being a total of four hours late and the boys arriving there at three in the morning. Too, North-South lilt Gives New Hope To Grid 'Cripple' MIAMI, Dec.

27 (X) The North-South football game here last night for the benefit of crippled children gave new hope this time to a "crippled" football player too. In convinced Henry Oppermann that his left knee is sound now and he is good enough to play pro football. "Until now I had no intention of playing pro football, did not even answer the questionnaires sent out by the pro clubs," said Oppermann, the Penn State end who was one of the stars for the North as the Yanks overcame a 14-6 halftime deficit and swept to a 4-14 victory. Oppermann set a record for pass receptions for this 15-year-old event with 10 that gained 120 yards and brought two touchdowns. Hugging the sportsmanship award given by vote of the players, he flicked a look at his bandaged left knee and confided: "Now I don't know.

I think now I'd like to give pro ball a try I was playing against some of the outstanding players of the nation and I did all right. It restored my confidence." Bill Brown of Illinois was voted the most valuable player on the North squad and Quarterback Bobby Skelton of Alabama, the South's most Valuable performer. Brown is the only one of three honored players in the game who was drafted by the American League (he was picked by the New York Titans). The National League held its draft today.

No sir, pardner, not by a long shot.

For Rice fans will tell you real quickly that the 21-year-old Cox who makes the Owls fly Owls fly. The moment of comparison will come at 1 p. m. (CST) Monday for 80,000 fans in Tulane Stadium and many thousands more over national television (NBC). This, of course, takes up to the record book.

And what you will find will make you a Gibbs con vert no doubt about that. But look closely at the record Cox turned in aa Rice tied for the runnerup spot in the tough Southwest Conference with a 7-3 mark. But first, the inevitable statistics: Tough to Beat Gibbs completed 66 of 109 passes put down the slide rule, it was 60.6 per cent for 970 yards and 12 touchdowns. He added another 243 on the ground on his pet rollout pass-run option play for an output of 1,216 yards. Gibbs was the big wheel in directing Mississippi a 9-0-1 record, the only unbeaten slate among the top ten teams in the final Associated Press poll this season.

What has Cox to offer to offset this bit of convincing statistical data? Cox, only a sophomore and a new bridegroom, had an eyecatching year. The lS3-pound product of Galena Park, Texas hit on 45 of 80 tosses 56.2 per cent for 510 yards and three touchdowns. He ran for another 186 yards and six touchdowns. What makes the Cox story interesting is a comment furnished Missouri Polishes Offense buzzing around the bays in gnoaf numbers, lsitors crownea docks, yesterday, to see the boats unload some very resectable catches. Black grouper have moved into the rocks off Redfish Pass and most of the guides are concentrating on these since mackerel, kings and other pelagic fishes have been very scarce.

Here are gome of the grouper catches of the past two days: Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Veatch, their children, Ruth and Johnny, Richard Stein and his son, Tony, all of Carmi, 111., had a real ball aboard the Ballerina with Captain Buck Fernandez, yesterday.

They boated 61 black grouper and a nice false albacore. Fishing with Buck, Monday, Mr. and Mrs. D. M.

Bockelman and Harold Metz of Clarksville, Ohio, reeled in 19 grouper the largest weighing 12 pounds. Both catches were made west of Redfish Tass. Jim Edenfield of Nashville, Ray Edenfield and W.

Glen Cary, Wilbur McCoy and Orville McClure of Fort Myers docked at Copley's place with 102 channel bass.

Joe Beavo of Fort Myers and Tony NeppI of Ana-mosa, Iowa came in with 60 channel bass and 10 sheepshead which were taken on shrimp and buck-tail jigs, in the Punta Blanca Creek area.

IT 53 Naples eigiibors Rice Cox by Rice Coach Jess Neely, a pretty good appraiser of talent in anybody's league.

Too Fat to Play Cox turned out for practice last season and putting it mildly, he was a bit on the chunky side. So Neely red-shirted him and filed him away for future reference. "He was too slow," said Neely. 'He weighed 203 for the spring game and couldn't carry it. He came back this fall at 183 and Incre was all the difference in the world." This is not to say that Cox alone was responsible, out sometnmg made the difference between the Rice team of 1959 and this year's Sugar Bowl squad.

The Owls won only one game in '59, lost seven and tied two. Fans Can Decide In any event, Sugar Bowl fans will get a look at a couple of pretty good quarterbacks next Monday afternoon. Mrs. Wiley Wins Ladies Day Event Mrs. Tom Wiley Jr.

Guard Injured Right Guard Paul Garvis worked out in sweat clothes, and there were indications he might play Monday. He suffered lip and forehead cut3 requiring 15 stitdh-es in an automobile accident in which a woman was killed. Devine said Garvis was emotionally upset and if the guard does not play Sophomore Tom Hertz will be moved up to a starting post.

Hertz, a converted fullback, filled in during the Ok lahoma game when Garvis wasl injured. The Missouri' squad worked with dummies this afternoon.
