The high schools still use the two-platoon system in football but Jim Payne never bothered about it. Jim is the 198-pound tackle and middle guard of University High School. He end,ed his school boy career by playing the entire game. That had been going on for two years. For 20 consecutive games, Payne ptsyed every down. The college scouts are camped on his door steps. He's just what the doctor ordered for one-platoon college football. Jim started as a defensive spe cialist in 1952 but the next year he did double duty and never missed a minute. He blocked four punts and recovered 14 fumbles. This year he blocked two punts, recovered 10 fumbles. The boys lost count of how many tackles he made. Against Hamilton High, Payne was in on 28 tackles, making 15 of them unassisted. He's also a basketball star and a weight man and high jumper in track. And he's a member of the National Honor Society, making straight As in his studies. Marty Brill, star halfback for Notre Dame in 1930, is a salesman for a California drug supply firm.

A red haired junior named "Hopalong" Cassady, carries the bulk of Ohio State's football fortunes on his not-too husky shoulders. Canary hit tfye headlines twQh years ago in his opening collegiate contest by scoring three touch' downs against Indiana, and he hasn't slowed since. He's the darling of the Buck eye fans, for he's a Columbus resident and a perfect example of "Home town boy makes good copy." His real name is Howard Albert Cassady, but even his dad, mother and wife call him "Hoppy." Hoppy is 20 years old, weighs 168 pounds and stands 5 feet 10. He is starting his third year of varsity ball, having entered Ohio State in January of 1952, when freshmen were allowed to play. He has the lefthalf back job all locked up. Here's why: Last season he carried tha ball 86 times for 514 net yards, an average of 5 9; threw 2 passes, one for a 25 - yard touchdown; rushed for 6 touchdowns and counted 2 on passes as he re ceived 16 aeriali for 273 yards, and led the team In punt, kickoff and pass interception returns. He's the squad's fastest man, the best pass defender, and the top "clutch" runner/ He missed one game last season, but played 403.5 minutes of a possible 480 in the others, going better than 55 minutes in five of 'em. As he left home for his first game in 1852, against Indiana, be told his mother: "I doubt if I'll even get in the game." But he scored three touchdowns that memorable day to outscore the entire Hoosier club in a 33-13 conquest. Prfor to that day he had seen all of Ohio State's home games except one, for eight seasons. fa-floppy missed spring practice tftli year to^llay shortstop on the vfrsity baseball team. In high school, at Columbus Central, he was named All-Ohio in football, was voted the city's No. 1 ath lete, and back in 1946 won the city caddie golf championship. He's enrolled in the college of education, and may join his father in an interior decorating business after graduation. Just now he's intent on decorating the score- < board with numerous sixe? His biggest fan is his wife, Betty, I who was a cheer leader at Central High while Hoppy was making scholastic history there. She and their nine month old sort, Craig, often sit in the stadium during pratice sessions, and she never misses a game. Last year Ohio State won six and lost three games, and Hoppy's key runs were the decisive ones against Wisconsin and 'Northwest ern. In the Wisconsin game, with Ohio trailing 19-14 in the final quarter, Hoppy told Quarterback Dave Leggett he could get behind the defensive halfback, catch a pass and outrun the safety man. Leggett called the play, and it worked like a charm, Hoppy going 60 yards for the winning score. Fishermen in Florkfa's Big Cy press Swamp have more than fish to eat.

Duke's Parker Picks Baseball over Football By KEN ALYTA Durham, N. C. (AP) ? Clarence (Ace) Parker, Duke University's offensive backfield coach, says baseball is his game. This, despite two broken legs which cut short his brief whirl in the major leagues. For seven years Parker, a fast talking Virginian, has been coach ing at the school where in 1936 he gained All-America recognition. To his football duties have been added the job of head baseball coach the last two years. In his long college and pro fessional football career against rugged opposition he never re ceived a serious injury. lie won league honors in 1938 with Brooklyn as quarterback, with a third place team that had a modest 4-4-3 record. Two years later he again won that honor as the Dodgers finished second. He broke into the majors with a bang smashing a pinch hit home run in his first time at bat for Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics. Incidentally, neither of Ijtar'old teams, the football Dodgefs *and the A's, is in business any more. He stayed with the A's two seasons as a shortstop, batting. .177 in 38 games in 1937 and .230 in 56 games the next season. He played for Portsmouth, Va., in 1940 and was sold to Pittsburgh in 1940. Sent to Syracuse, he broke a leg in a game. Back at Ports mouth for the 1941 season he broke his other leg. Then followed four years in the Navy. After his discharge as a lieutenant he resumed play at Portsmouth in 1946. After a brief training camp stay with the C hicago Cubs in 1947 he called it a career and joined the Duke football staff under Wallace Wade, his former coach. Parker returned to Portsmouth in 1948 as manager of a second place ' team in the Piedmont league. From 1949 through 1952 he man aged the Durham Bulls of the Class Clarence "Ace" Parker . . . tw0-way greatness ft Carolina League. His 1951 team won the pennant and in '52 he finished seeond. In the spring of 1953 Parker relieved Jaek Coombs, former major league pitching star, as Duke's baseball coach. His first team won the Southern Confer ence and NCAA District 3 titles. One of its members, A1 Spang ler, a classy outfielder from Phil adelphia, is now on the roster of the Milwaukee Braves. Pinned down to choose between football and baseball, Ace grinned: "I like all sports and it has been and still is fun to participate in them. To choose between football and baseball is hard, but 1 would have to go with baseball. I en joyed it more as a player, as a manager and now as a coach/' This from a fellow who ran 105 yards to a touchdown in his final college game against arch rival North Carolina and broke two legs playing baseball. Hunting Tips Rather be sure than sorry is an old adage which should apply to the hunter. The quarry he sought to take home would be of little comfort if in his anxiety he wound ed a fellow hunter. The National Rifle Assn. says a good hunter is always sure of his target before pulling the trigger. Know the iden tifying features of the game in tended for the kill. Angler Hooks Bear But He Got Away, Naturally Pittsburg, N. II. (AP) ? -HtUt a "fish" story with a new angle. It's about a big one that got away. J. F. Perkins was fishing in Lake Francis recently with guide "Ving" Judd. They spotted a "big one" swimming across the lake ? a 125-pound bear. Excitedly trying to head off the animal, Perkins' fly-hook accident ally tangled in the bear's fur. Swimming with renewed fury, the animal made it to shore and ran into the woods, the hook, still in his side. Alumni Special Storrs, Conn. (AP) ?
