PAGE SIX Today's Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY l United Press Sports Writer KEW YORK~(UP) Line Coach Hugh Duffy Daugh erty will move up to the role of head football coach at Michigan State if Clarence Biggie Munn gets his wish and moves up to Athletic Director in the spring. BfCmn has “had it” as a coach. He was Coach of the Year in 1952 and this season, his first in the Big Ten, led his Spartans to the Rose Bowl. Athletic Director Ralph | Younjpmust step down *this spring because of the confer- 1 ence retirement age and Biggie is ready, and able, for the pSt. - , HJg is expected to name Daugherty as his successor, because the World War II major was one of his proteges when Biggie was line coach at Syracuse and a good choice it would be, both ways. Major league moguls are desperately hopeful for the new Baltimore club in the American League but suspect it wifldequire an even greater marvel than the Milwaukee miracle to make the team a success. USe situation is vastly different than it was in Mil waukee, to begin with, and expenditures have been stag gering? The team is committed to more than $200,000 in salaried before even signing a player. This is due partially to the'fact that it will be paying three managers, hold overs Rogers Hornsby and Marty Marion and new pilot Jimmy: Dykes and, observers point out, it took a winning ball club to put over the Milwaukee story and that’s sometJiing which Baltimore lacks both now and in the directly forseeable future. Madison Square Garden is getting ready so« its first New Year’s Day bout, in which Lulu Perez battles Dave Gallardo in a third and “rubber” match. There have been a lot of famed fights on Jan. 1, however, with such war riors in action as Joe Gans, Johnny Kilbane, Harry Wills, Sam Langford, Benny Leonard, Lew Tendler and Harry Greg still a rough way to start a New Year. Bob Feerick, the Santa Clara basketball coach who was a -pro star with the Washington Caps, contends that people-shrink as they grow older and has fairly con vincing proof. “When I was playing professional basketball,” he says, “I was 6 feet, 3 inches tall. Now I am only 6 feet, 1% inches tall. ’’ .'Still plenty big enough to see. Tam Underwood, prominent Kentucky horseman, re calls rather ruefully that he gave out some terrible tips on the 1938 Kentucky Derby. Asked about- the prospects of Lawrin, Underwood said: “I can’t tell you who will win but I Can tell you that Lawrin won’t! Nothing can come from the mule country of Missouri and beat our thor oughbreds.” So Lawrin won and paid $19.20 for each deuce. RJn.O THIS LATE DATE THAT MAKES Under wood blush. But imagine how 16-year-old Don Coleman of Van-Buren, Ark., felt after going deer hunting and fall ing asleep in his stand. He not only didn’t get a deer. Somebody came along while; he was snoozing and stole his gun! •7"' - " ■ 1— 1— Cage Results UNITED PRESS East Holiday Festival Manhattan 80 NYU 64 St. Louis 77 St. Johns 47 Duquesne 88 Brigham Young 47 Niagara 88 LaSalle SO fj; BsCstra Tourney Wagnef, 57 Delaware 47 Lehigh-86 Wesleyan 50 New England Tourney Springfield 75 Colhy 68 Connecticut 87 Brown 63 Harvark.6B Amherst 49 Dartmouth 63 Mlddlebury 54 Columbia 75 Pittsburgh 64 Pennsylvania 67 Miami Fla 54 Purdue 78 Rutgers 58 Sonth Dixie Clmasie Navy 86 North Carolina 62 N.

Back row: State Likely To Hold Own In Tournament RALEIGH, N. C. (W North Carolina State was a solid choice . to retain its team title today as it headed into the semi-final round of the Dixie Classic basketball tournament with Oregon State, its No. 1 foe, eliminated by a stunning upset by Duke. The State Wolf pack, which won an four previous tourneys at Rey nolds Coliseum, was matched against high-scoring Navy in one sfemi-flnal game tonight while Duke’s red-hot Blue Devils were pitted against Wake Forest In the other. Duke, sparked to brilliance by Joe Belmont and dury D'Emilio, two lads who stand only flve-11 1 and an even six feet, engineered ope of the major upsets of the court season last night when it soundly trounced Oregon State, the nation’s fourth-ranged team, 71-81. Oregon State had loomed to that lofty ranking by its recent con quest of NCAA dvmplon Indiana, but last night the Beavers were hustled off their feet by Duke’s comparative “midgets." The West Coast machine led for the first eight minutes, and then fell be hind to stay at the Blue Devils zipped in and among the Beaver giants to score points. HALBROOK CUT DOWN Wade Halbrook, Oregon State's seven-foot, three-inch scoring giant, tallied 33 points but that total In cluded only five field goals His effectiveness was out by double teaming on defense, with six-nine Marty Doherty, six-four Ronnie Mayer, and six-seven Junior Morgan taking turns guarding him. Balmont and DTEndllo had 19 points Belmont wab especially sharp, sinking six of right shots, as Duke hit on 35 per cent and the Beavers on only 38.6 per cent. A big factor in the upset was Ore gon’s poor foul shooting—they miss ed 30 out of 41, with Halbrook missing nine. N. O. State very nearly suffered the same fate and survived in a 73-70 victory over Seton Hall only on the strength of a hotly-disput ed play. Seton Hall, minus graduated All- American Walter Dukes and thus only a shadow of the Pirate team that won last season’s National In vitation Tournament, played in -1 spired ball and led until the last two minutes. The Pirates were given the'baß PM Kmmk m Ywr P4B v ~« SfiliffL B. j Dcabt 387 S 188 DAILY RECORD, DUNN, If. a on an out-of-bounds with seven seconds left, but the ball rolled down the sideline and time ran out before it was put in play. State’s task tonight wiU be to stop Navy’s hook-shooting Don Lange, who used either hand to push in 39 points to lead the Mid dies’ 86-63 win over previously un beaten North Carolina. Tulane managed to hold Wake Forest’s high-scoring center Dickie Hemric to 13 points, the lowest total in his college career. But Hemric was busy feeding the ball to little Lowell Davis, who drove Under for 35 points. Wake Forest, however, didn’t pull away until the last two minutes. Phil Wallace led Tulane with 18 points.
