Our Biq Storcwide FURNITURE CLEARANCE Ends Saturday LUCAS FURNITURE By Ml'RRAY OLDERMAM - NEA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA) The vogue in wrestlers changes just like the length of women's skirts Last sep.son it was Evil-Eye Ivan, Montmorency the Mad, Baron Alexis von Kartoffel and Delicious Donald who were palpi tating the customers. The ginv mick was the thing, whether mar celled locks or a dainty perfume epray. This season the stage is set for the likes of Homespun Herman, Just Plain Joe and Honest Ernest, "The freak is passing out of wrestling." says Verne Gagne, a handsome cauliflower out of Min neapolis who belongs to the latter school. Gorgeous George is in semi- retirement Homehwere in the West, counting his turkeys; Gene Stanlee, Mr. All-America, spends most of his time tending bar. STRAIGHT Gagne makes better than $100, 000 a year playing it straight well, fairly so. The day of the villain is in limbo. Now wrestling fans 55 per cent ot them women go lor the brawny, handsome hero. World champion Lou Thesz and American litlist Gagne are a couple of prime examples. None of the other big men in the trade, the ones who gross bet ter than $50,000 annually, depend on butlers or frilled trappings to ply tneir business. Hans Schmidt, Wladek Kowalski, Pat O'Connor, Ray Gunkel, The Mighty Atlas, even Antonino Rocca keep their hair to a respectable trim. Does that mean we can look for a return to the Greco-Roman school of tugging for five hours at a time? Hardlv. FURIOUS "I could take care of Stanis slaus Zbyszko in 10 seconds," in sists Gagne. "What people go for is fast, furious action, and we've achieved this through a complete relaxation ot the rules." That could mean getting hit over the head with a chair one night or ducking a beer bottle the next, as has happened to Gagne. One night in Denver a gentle little old lady irately whacked him on the skull with her purse, and in Springfield, Mo., he was in the vortex of a tornado-like riot with drawn knives. "It's a rough game because pro moters want it that way," says Gngne. "It makes money with our blood, of course. DEAD "So you think wrestlers don't get hurt. How about the guy who lay dead in a ring in Washington while the fans hollered, 'Fake'? Fellows like scnmidt and Kowalski are brutal. Schmidt kicked out Jour of my front teeth. Another time he dislocated one of my ribs. I was helpless, and he could have pinned me easily if he'd known it. Instead, he gave me a body slam. and the rib- jumped back into place." Gngne's itinerary might find him in Omaha on Monday, Des Moines on Tuesday, Denver Wednesday, Syracuse Thursday and in Newark, N.J., on Friday. Every week-end he flies home to Mrs. Gagne and the four kids at Excelsior, a Minneapolis suburb. Last yenr he wrestled 268 times, won 268. In 1953 he's undefeated in more than 150 bouts. What does he do when he's home weekends? He plays sandlot football with the boys in the neighborhood.

Mississippi Southern, going light on entertain' ment until after the Sun Bowl clash with host Texas Western, was rated a- one- to two-touchdown favorite over the Miners Friday. The Southerners left with red faces last year after dropping the border classic, 26-7, to College of the Pacific. Many said the Southerners Jiacl too good a time and too little practice then. The visitors vowed things would be different this year. A BIG ONE Doug Ford, with an cyc-popping eagle three on the treacherous 15th hole of the Miami Springs course, captured the 510,000 Miami Open. Here, Ford gets off one of the steady iron shots which had a lot to do with his victory. (NEA) n f ' , I I I i. Jeff Mere. Tonight Feir eoneir Air Lanes Keynote In Bowl Grid Games By BOB HPOBING NEW YORK IB Victory through air power was the keynote for sev eral bowl entries today with par ticular attention centered on Miami, where Oklahoma chal lenged Maryland's national cham- pions. The fourth-rated Sooners, one touchdown underdogs, were ex pected to mix In plenty of pass ing against the nation's leading rushing deiense club. In other mninr hnwl namAl. Michigan State, No. 3. met UCLA, in. x-HEiiaena; ueorgia lech, No. 8, faced loth-place West Vir ginia in the Sugar Bowl; and Rice, No. 6, hosted Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. At Jacksonville, Fia., Auburn pitted its "X" and "Y" units and the passing combination of Bobby Freeman to Jimmy Pyburn against free-scoring Texas Tech, led by second team All-America hallbaek Bobby Cavazos in the Gator Bowl, QUESTION The burning questions of quar erback Bernie Faloney's condt- tinn nnri ManrlqnH'- vinu n -i ...... j. .,u iiiii, m me national title went on the line be- lore an estimated 69,839 fans in a televised and broadcast game. Faloney, the split-T magician whose knee was injured in Mary land's last regular-season game with Alabama and whirh trove wqu again several days ago in practice, win see some action, according to ihe team trainer. But his sub stitute, Charlie Boxold, was to start for Jim Tatum's powerful Terps and how much service Faloney would see was unknown at kickoff time. Many people felt that Notre Dame, not Maryland, should have been named thp Nn. 1 tnnm in tha country. The Irish, who defeated uKianoma zo-m, voted tne sooners the toughest opponent they met. So todav the Oraiitre Rrtwl Inrf urnc to be Maryland's proving grounds.

Roberts and Oklahoma A&M Wins All-College Tourney By BEN OLAN NEW YORK Ifl The Oklahoma Aggies looked toward the remain der of the college basketball sea son today with high hopes of im proving their already lofty rating among the nation s leaders. The Aggies, ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press poll, captured the All-College Tournament title last night by whipping Santa Clara 67-56. Oklahoma A&M has lost only Santee Runs 4:04.2 Mile NEW ORLEANS Hope for a four-minute mile was brighter to day after Wes Santee of Kansas turned in a record 4:04.2 in the Sugar Bowl Track Meet the third fastest mile ever run by an American. Santee, holder of the American record of 4:02.4, flashed through a phenomenal 55-second final quar ter yesterday to break the 15-year-old Sugar Bowl mark of 4:07.7, set by Glenn Cunningham of Kan sas in 1S38. Tile slender Santee, who set the new standard over a damp track, said after the race he wasn't shoot ing for the four-minute mile, al though a slip on a wet spot may possibly have cost him two tsec onds, "I was Just trying to break Cun ningham's mark," he said. "I wasn't even thinking of trying to break four minutes." Santee took over the lead just after the field crossed the line at the finish of the third lap. His time in the final lap was slightly sensational in view of the times turned in on the first three quar ters. With Bruce Drummond of Oklahoma University and Charley Capozzoli of Georgetown alterna ting in the lead, the field did the first lap in 60 seconds, the second in 62 and the third In 65. JUCKELAND TRUCK of tackle Rog Nelson. Michigan State's Spartans ruled a touchdown iavorile over UCLA in the latest edition of the Big Ten Pacific Coast Conference battle, which the Midwesterners have won six out of seven times. UCLA, owner of one of Uie best defensive records in the country, faced a Pasadena jinx that has found it on the losing end of two previous appearances (9-0 to Geor gia, 1913, and 45-14 to Illinois, 1947). The Bruins have classy All America single wing tailback Pjiui Cameron and Michigan State has All America end Don Dohoney but the prcgame word was that MSC's quarterback Tom Ycwcic and hard-running halfback Leroy Bolden were the men to watch. SCREENS The Spartans may take a page from the University of Michignn book to spring screen passes which were dynamite for the Wolverines in 1048 (49-0 over USC) and 1951 (14-6 over California). State used the same weapon to turn defeat into victory against Texas Christ ian early this season. Certainly aerial defense proved the Bruins' biggest weakness this year, with Stanford, paced by pas- sing-, ace Bobby Garrett, handing them their only defeat. Passing appeared to be vital for favored Georgia Tech and under dog Alabama too. The T-formation Engineers, go ing against the heavier, split-T powered West Virginians, were ex pected to try to run to the out side or go overhead -to avoid the beefy Mountaineer middle. VETERAN Injury-riddled 'Bama, a bowl veteran, counted heavily on the passing of quarterback Bart Starr to try to handle Rice s ground forces, paced by All America full back Kosse Johnson and speedster Dickey Moegle operating behind a powerful line. In other games Mississippi Southern met Texas Western in the Sun Bowl, La Crosse (Wis.) State met Missouri Valley in the Cigar Bowl, Arkansas State met East Texas State in the Tangerine Bowl and Great Lakes Navy met Ft, Old in the Salad Bowl. once this season by one point to Minnesota. Not only was the shooting all over at Oklahoma City; two other tourneys closed out as the new year came in. At St. Paul, Gustavus Adolphus' height overcame St. Thomas' te nacity for a 68-60 victory and the championship of the first annual St. Paul Invitational Tournament. Northwestern Louisiana squeezed by Finaiay 71-68 in the finals of the Midwest Collegiate competition, at Terre Haute. Ind. Still to be completed is tne All American City Tournament at Owensboro, Ky., where last night at. rrancis ot Brooklyn whipped South Carolina 58-55 and Kentucky wesleyan turned back Denver 84-55 in first-round games. The winners meet tonight in one of the two semifinals. Maryland takes on Evansville (Ind.) College in the other. In other games, Notre Dame pulled ahead in the final three min utes to hand Northwestern a 52-50 defeat, the first home loss for the Wildcats this season. Michigan brought its record to 5-2 with a 76-68 triumph over Marquette, and UCLA defeated Michigan State 67-57. In the consolation games of the All-College Tournament, Oklahoma City outfought a taller Wyoming team 63-54 for third place; Tulsa edged Mississippi 64-60 for fifth and Cincinnati walloped Furman 93-77, despite Frank Selvy's 50 points for the losers.

Gallardo, Perez In Rematch By JACK HAND NEW YORK Ifl The fight to night is Davey Gallardo - Lulu Perez from the Madison Square Garden studio, a rematch of a re match between two busy little featherweights. Radio-TV viewers can catch the show at 10 p.m., EST, on NBC-TV or ABC-radio. The International Boxing Club hopes enough fans will be attracted by the novelty' of the first Jan. 1 fight in Garden history to make a passable gate. Pcrei won the first match .of this three-bount series because Gallardo suffered a deep eye cut that required two stitches. Gallardo came baok to win No. 2, knocking down Perez twice in the fourth round. Perez was 4-1 in the first bout and 17-5 in the second. The betting people are sticking with Perez as an 8-5 choice in No. 3 although the past performance charts show Lulu is a risky favor ite. With Sandy Saddler, the feather weight champion, due to get out of the Army in the spring and aching for action, this meeting of Gallar do, No. 5 challenger, and Perez, No. 9 behind Sandy, could be im portant. Saddler, incidentally, is ngming Buiy uossio over the weight at St. Nicholas Arena Jan. 15 while he's home from Germany on leave. Perez has the better career ree. ord, 33-2 since he started in 1951.
