/Wiley Downs Rattlers 32-6
For National Honors
Tampa, Fla. (ANP) — Wiley
college gjidders of Mar.-shall. Tex.
defeated Florida A. .and M. col
lege Rattlers 32 to 6 at Phillips
field before 8,000 fans to win the
ni tional grid championship in the
lath annual Orange Blossom
classic Saturday, but their victory
was married by the death of As
sistant Coach Marry Lung.
Coach Long was stricken witn
a heart attack just after his toaoi
scored a hard earned touchdown
to get into the lead in the late
part of the first quarter. He di''d
in an ambulance on his w'ay to
Clara Frye Memorial hospital.
Following the game, the nation
al champs did not leave the field,
but went to their bench ei
sprawled out on the ground and
wept over the loss of their assist
ant coach and brother of Head
Coach Fred Long.
The two tiams played stubboni
ball throughout the first quart.'-
with the Wildcats scoring late in
the period. News of Long's attack
hit the winners hard but they
were more determined than ever
and scored twice in the second
period and tallied twice in the
fmal stanza.
It was the passing of Vernon
Hicks, qarti rback. and the run
niiig of John P^plcs, loft half
back, which paved the way for
the overw'helming victory over the
previosly unbeaten, untied Rat
tlers, L«roy Cromartie torsed
passes for the losers.
Peoples turned in the outstand
ing play of the game when ne
intercepted a Rattler pass ana
raced 35 yards down the sideline
to score, giving the Wildcats a 32
to 6 win.
Cromartie tossed 31 passes for:
the Rattlers, 18 of them going
titc-re for a gain of 151 yds. Hick^
tossed 26 passes, 12 of them be
ing completed for 180 yards. Th.-
Wildcats made 14 first downs and
the Rattlers 12.

BEATING THE GUN
BY ALMX MOSES
A REAL HANDICAP MATCH
NEW YORK tANPi — When a
Frenchman wrestles, one never
knows whlhcr to call in the under
taker or keep the hospital emer
gency line open. That is becau.se
the temperamental Freiichma nem-
Frenchmaii employs hi.s feet in
overcoming his opponent, the art ,
being called "La Savatc."
Back in 1910 when l was a skit-
ny iOo pound kid running a relay
leg for Public School 10, I read my
first story on French wrestling.
Seems that Sam MeVey. my first
boxing teacher, journeyed to Paris
during that year and challenged a
topnotch French rappler to try hi.-
wrcstling skill on him while he at
tempted to knock his block off wilh
that celebr-ited left hook of hi.s.
This is how the match ended. Dur
ing the fisrt few minutes of the
match both principals assumed a
cagey attitude.
Suddenly the Frcnchio. spying
v-hat ho thought was a "kiH” open
ing, rose on his Tight foot and with
the grace of an, Anna Pavlova the
ballet queen, deposited the 220
pound frame of "MeVey on the re-.
signed ring floor with a deft kick
to the chin. So first blood was call
ed for the wrestler versus the box
er with the matman gainnig the
honors.
MeVey. a deep thYhkcr, decided
he'd take no mi re undue chances.
Clarg went the bell starting the
second round and MeVey circled the
wrestler in search of the proper
.•pining. A m i.sttT at the art of
feining, MeVey led the Frenchman
into one brief mistake and whang.
MeVey's hook exploded on the
wre.stler's chin like the atom bomb
on Hiroshima, They could have
counted up to 1,00 and the wrestler
wouldn't have heard a thing.
