    LOOKING THE SPORTS WORLD OVER not taking back page to anything, football is on the sport scene. This Friday South Carolina Came cocks will come to the Orange Bowl to test the force of University of Miami Hurricanes. VIZ feel that the Hurricanes will delight its thousands of rooters with a 14–⁠6 score. FACTS AND FIGURES Bob Lotion, popular manager of the Carver Hotel is curious as to how Cleveland with three 20 game winners, Lemon, Wynn and Score, were not able TO beat the Yankees in the American League, who could boast only one 20 game winner in Whitley Ford. Experts will tell you that there are varied reasons for such sit uation. The cause could lay at the managers feet or the team itself ii could be lack Of determination But if you check the batting averages you will that CLEVELAND has but one or two batters hittin over 300 wherein the Yankee has over five. OF course Mantl’ has lot TO do with Cleveland being in the shape she is.
