/v|| PERSON By J. S. MERRITT ‘"Tennessee Has Started Newspaper reports say that Tennessee has a new kind of football shift and that the team will employ this new shift this season. The Blue Devils of Duke are anxious to know more about the new play as they will meet Tennessee this year. Coach Neyland and Coach Wade plan to have a great game on that day and they intend to employ all of the plays, both new and old, that they think will be needed to win the game. Neyland and Wade are great rivals and when their teams meet you can watch out for a great game. On top of that it locks like Duke and Tennessee are going to have excellent teams this vear and that will make for an even harder game. o o —0 0 Hogan Wins Tournament Ben Hogan, the little man with the big golf game, cut loose with a seven-under-par finish in the $5,000 Grensboro open golf tournament Thursday to win first prize of $1,200 with a tournament record score of 270. The hard-hitting Texas welter-weight, breaking 70 on each of his four rounds, shot a 66 over the Sedgefield Coun try club course to hold a seven-stroke lead with 18 holes to go. Sticking to his fire-for-the-pin tactics right to the final hoie, he blazed through the last round in 67. And thus handed an all-star field and all-star licking. In spite of the snow that fell Easter Sunday the Greens boro golf tournament was a success. We doubt if the tourna ment made money, but everything went on in great style even though bod weather stopped the game for two days. The players stuck by their guns like real sports and continued in the tournament even when they had to wait two days and grow stale during their waiting period. Golfers are great fellows. O—o—O—O Didn’t Pay Enough Many boxing fans of Roxboro have been talking about reviving boxing in Roxboro. It was tried here in a fairway three or four years ago and there are many who would like to see it tried again. Boxing did not pay in Roxboro. There are not enough boxing fans here who are willing to plank down the neces sary amount of money that is required. It costs about $150.00 to put on a decent boxing show and you have to charge 50c or better per customer. Although fifty cents is not so much money it is a little more than the average fan wants to pay. Anyway, boxing did not pay the last time it was tried in Roxboro.

Mrs. Page who slugs like a heavyweight off the tees, played out her card for a 33-35—68 on the par-74 No. 1 course.

Directors will go before the al dermen next week with a re quest that they authorize a loan to the club, to toe repaid over a period Os years, and assist it in securing a federal grant. The park, a spokesman for the club said today, would be similar to those at Greenville, Wilson and Goldsboro. The club uses a park owned by Grainger high school. It is one of the largest in the Coastol Plain league but poorly equipped. Up<to*the*Minute Sport News Solicited Gainsville, Fla., March 28. —Bob by Dodd, former Tennessee star who has been assistant coach at Georgia Tech for several years, has been “tentatively recom mended” by the University of Florida athletic committee for head football coach here, Dr. John J. Tigert, president of the university, said tonight. “The recommendation is only tentative and has net been passed on by me to the board of con trol,” Dr. Tigert declared. “Mr. Dodd is one of several candidates that wie are consider ing for the position. The recom mendatiicn has not been acted upon as yet.” The committee usually initates coaching recommendations sub mitting them to Dr. Tigert for his approval, after which they go to the State Board of Control for final action. The head coaching vacancy was caused by the resignation of Josh Cody, who also held the position of athletic director, to become line coach at Temple University. Dodd said tonight at Orlando that he would confer with univer sity 'officials tomorrow about the coaching job. “I am interested very much in the job and would like to have it if we can get together on terms,” he said. Prior to going to Georgia Tech Dodd served as an assistant coach at his alma mater. While at Ten nessee, he won fame for his all around play and especially for his clever field-generalling of the Volunteer teams. Mel Ott, in 44 years as a regu lar with the Giants, amassed a to tal of 369 home runs. Jimmy Foxx of the American league exceeds his total by 100 runs. ■ o Garden Tours In North Carolina To Attract Many Raleigh, March 27—Spring will be officially ushered into North Carolina this week with the open ing of the Third Annual Garden Pilgrimage sponsored by the Garden Clubs, of North Carolina. Beginning today, the pilgrimage will continue through April 25, during which period the gardens in 26 communities will be open to visitors. Thousands of garden enthus iasts from many states are expect ed to take advantage of this op portunity to visit North Carolina homes and gardens. During the garden pilgrimage last year more than 3,000 persons from 25 different states participated in the pilgrimage and many more are expected this year. In addition to the hundreds of gardens that will be opep, visi tors will also be permitted to browse through many old colon ial and pre-revolutionary home, since many homes as wei as gar dens are being opened for this pilgrimage. Many of the interesting old homes in New Bern will be open during the pilgrimage dates there, April 2 and 3. These are the only dates during the entire year that any of the private homes in New Bern will be open to the public. Because so many gardens were damaged by a late freeze, the gardens in Greenville will not be open April 27 and 28, as previous ly announced. But the Kinston Garden club has announced that it will open many of its gardens on these same dates. So those who had planned to visit the Green ville gardens are asked to go to Kinston instead.
