Hit Stride in 2nd Half Rally
Captain Scores All Three Touchdowns in Last Half; Douglas' Kicking a Feature
liy George Walsh We knew they"had the power. We knew they had a line that was tough to get through. Now we know that our Hurricanes have the ability to come from behind to beat a tough opponent, one that wanted to win desperately.
Sidetracked for the first half and apparently headed for defeat, Couch Harding’s boys snapped back to subdue completely a stubborn University of Florida eleven, 19 to 7, last Saturday night at (iainesville.
Brilliant is a rather overworked word with sports writers but that’s about the only insertion in Webster’s list of adjectives that would fit the actions of the Hurricanes in that last half.
Down, 0-7, when they took to the field for the second half kickoff, our boys got down to the business of the night, setting a Florida team back on its heels.
Several minutes of the third period had ticked away before the Hurricanes showed their faces for the first time deep in Gator territory. A punt return by Capt. Eddie Dunn, which he started on the Florida 45 and wound up on the 28, set the stage for the Miami team.
Mike Corcornn planted the ball five yards nearer the goal and then Dunn spun his way 13 yards more. A moment later Eddie crossed the Gator line hut a lax Hurricane lineman was offside and the play was called hack.
Douglas Boots It 78 Yards
Just to make it look easy, Dunn sent Carl Jones off tackle, where he plowed to the 5-yard stripe. Eddie made three and then was over for the six points on the next try. Dunn’s placement was wide.
Soon after Johnny Douglas came through with the best kicking ever seen at Florida Field to place the Hurricanes in line for the second marker. Johnny’s first, a boot that went for 78 yards, caught the Gator safety napping. The Codymen punted out and again Douglas surprised the Florida fans.
Pat Reen was nabbed on the 7-yard line as the quarter ended. Bud Walton, Gator sophomore, got off a poor kick that traveled to the 33, Dunn running it back to 27. Noppenberg went into the center of the line on m the first play and Eddie followed [ with a seven-yard gain off tackle.
With Chuck Guimento and Andy Csaky heading the interference, Dunn gave a classy exhibition of shaking off would-be tacklers to cross the line standing. Eddie’s second try also failed but this didn’t stop the thousands of Miami rooters from letting the world know the Hurricanes were ahead and were going to stay there.
Douglas-Dunn Teamwork
It was an easy task for the Hurri y canes to hold the Gators after the kickoff and march goalward. Mixing his plays well, Dunn crossed up the Gators with a pass to Douglas that set the ball on the 29. Csaky then took a shovel pass that was good for five and Duoglas placed the ball on the 17-yard line on an end sweep. Eddie and Johnny combined to put it on the 10 and then Eddie smacked the center for five yards in two tries.
Noppenbeijg,plunginghard, reached , the one-yard stripe. With the entire Gator line massed to stop Noppenberg on a supposed dive through # center, Capt. Dunn strolled off tackle for the last marker. Chuck Guimento booted a nice placement for the final point.
The Hurricanes’ old jinx, a good passing attack, brought the Gators

Rotary To Entertain
The Miami Rotary Club is anxious to entertain all of our students whose fathers are Rotarians. Such students are urged to see Dr. Holdsworth, in room 234, as soon as possible.

Slow Train Carries Fast Crowd to Enemy Bailiwick
While the University of Miami footballers made the Gainesville boys see Orange, Green, and White, Miami rooters made travel, social and drinking history aboard the special trains and in the tiny north Florida metropolis. Strange things hnppened. Many incidents occurred that ne’er will be forgotten.
For instance, after the game Jackie Behr planted a beeyootifull impression of his rosy red lips on Miss Merritts cheek, explaining, “I’ve been wanting to do this all year.”* 1 George Hallahan neatly placed a Gainesville freshman in a concrete mixer. An inebriated adult Miami booster yelled loudly to the crowd leaving the stadium, “That’s O. K. Miami’ll win next year.” Ted Wayne gnve the Kappas a lovely story about how he never intended to go on the trip but got on the train to see a
friend off and the train pulled out before he could get off. He substantiated it by having with him an overcoat and several bottles of rum.
Court ActsTo Oust Dorn, Hamilton
Impeachment Action Begun Against Justices; Non-Feasance Is Charge
First step in impeachment proceedings against Martha Dorn and George j Hamilton, associate justices, was I taken by the Honor Court last Tuesday.
The two court members are charged with non-feasance of office, having attended no scheduled court sessions or school government elections since they took office last May, according | to Jerry Weinkle, their court col- ' league.
Prosecuting Attorney A1 Spahr will refer the impeachment to the .Student Senate at its next meeting |and ask for confirmation of the Honor Court decision.
I In case of impeachment proceedings, the senate acts as a court to try the accused. An affirmative vote of three-quarters of the senate is nec-|essary for the removal of any officer so impeached.
If the court’s decision is upheld , by the senate, a new election will be held immediately to replace the removed officers.
Miss Dorn, a member of the junior class and of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, .was elected last spring by 451 votes,
| a record poll in the history of University student politics.
Hamilton, a Pi Chi, senior, and member of the varsity football squad, received 352 votes.
, Under present conditions, Weinkle | explains, the Honor Court is struggling along with only five out of eight active members, Chief Justice j John Brion, Prosecuting Attorney j Spahr, and Associate Justices Joan ‘ Goeser, Jack Madigan and Weinkle.
HURRICANES CHALK UP ANOTHER !
Debaters Schedule 14 Opponents
To travel 4,000 miles and to include 14 colleges is the tentative schedule for the annual debating trip according to a report made by Dick Arend, manager of the 1938-39 Varsity Debating Team, at a meeting of the Debate Council last week. This is an increase of 1000 miles over last year’s trip, and will take approximately two weeks.
Among the colleges included are University of Florida, Florida State College for Women, Alabama, Van ■ derbilt, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Uni jversity of Chicago, Kalamazoo Col lege, Ohio State, University of Pitts burgh, University of Pennsylvania, ¡Georgetown, South Carolina and Rollins.
I Irving Leibovitz was elected vice ¡president of the Debate Council in place of Dorothy Armogast who did not return to the University this year.
Debate Council plans for the coming year include resumption of weekly broadcasts of miniature debates ,and round table discussions which proved successful last year.
The freshman team and Desprit Franklin, who made the trip on thirty cents and a thumb, did a nice job of leading Florida Frosh’s bluff when they flashed an orange dink before the little dears. Across the field to the i Miami side they charged. Immediately the Miami boys formed a wall of muscle as impenetrable as the Miami ¡line. The darlings called it all off and went back to their own side where misery had plenty of company

One Credit Offered For Glee Club Work
President B. F. Ashe announces that students in the Liberal Arts College, School of Education, or School of Business Administration who are members of the University glee clubs or the University mixed chorus will receive one music credit a semester for this work.
I’m sitting behind our University band in the Florida stadium. Down in the dumps I am, too! Who wouldn’t be after an opposing team member shoots a pass that chalks up six points against your team?
Backers of the Gators were doing hand springs and cheering like they were all going crazy. One fellow behind me says, “I don’t hear much out of this Miami gang now.”
“Don’t worry,” I flicks back," “this game isn’t over yet.”
‘It’s all over for Miami,” another says.
Just then the ball sails through the uprights and another Gator point is chalked up. It was the last point for them but I didn’t know it then. I ¡thought these Gators were just starting.
Then something happened that changed the attitude of all these Gator fans toward the Miami rooters. Our band splits the air with the “Spirit” and even the Miami backers stand cheering those Gators ns they walk down the field.
“Good bunch of sports, these Miamians,” the boy behind me says.
“They sure are,” his friend nn-| swers.
I felt better then. We were behind ¡seven to zero but I knew a team with ¡that kind of sportsmanship backing it up just wouldn’t lose... it couldn’t.
I But it was during the half that our ¡hand really puffs my chest with pride. They line up at the North end of the I field and a fanfare of trumpets brings ¡the two drum majors, Cookie Cunningham and Frank Sessler, to the front of the band. Fifteen thousand ¡people cheered that neat looking and good sounding band of ours, and they cheered again when the band formed a wheel playing “Three Blind Mice.” Then a large “F” was formed and the boys placed oranges on the field where they stood. Going into a “U F” the band played Florida’s Alma Mater with fifteen thousand people standing bareheaded at attention and
thousands of Florida students and alumni singing their song as if they meant it. The “F” in oranges stood out on the green field.
It was our turn to sing when the band formed n “U M” . . . and we did. And folks, in case you ore interested, a good many hundred of thnt fifteen thousand knew the words to our Alma Mater.
We have always known that our symphonic bnnd was something we ¡could point to with pride, but never ¡before did we know that we have a hand that can make them sit up and take notice at the games. We know jit now! You enn’t make fifteen thousand people applaud and cheer a band if it is just fair. It has to be good! You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can’t fool fifteen thousand nil at once. The band ¡was a well drilled unit last Saturday night, thnnks to the hard work of .Cookie Cunningham and splendid cooperation from every one of the boys, and you can yell from the .housetops if you want to, that wc* have an excellent, superb, magnificent . . . well, a darn fine marching band, too!

Harding's Men Work Out With Tubb’s Iowans
Back In jury May Keep Capt. Eddie Dunn Out: Pug Mandcrs Uncertain Starter
With Spring Hill, Tampa and Florida left wallowing in their wake, the University of Miami Hurricanes move against the Drake University Bulldogs Saturday afternoon in Des Moines.
While in Iowa City the Hurricanes have scrimmaged against the University of Iowa gridders, now in their second year of Irl Tubbs’ regime. Pat ■ Boland and Bill Frey, who assisted Tubbs here, are with him at Iowa.
Mrs. Tubbs and her two children, Sally and Helen, served as the welcoming committee for the Hurricanes on their arrival.
Despite the loss of seven lettermen from the team that handed us a 7-0 trimming Inst year and beset with injuries, the Bulldogs are expected to
According to information received from Coach Jack Harding Thursday it is not definite that Capt. Eddie Dunn will see service in the Drake tilt. A recurrence of an old back injury may sidetrack the great halfback.
present one of the biggest obstacles in the path of an undefeated season for the Hurricanes.
Through arrangements made by Marge Christenson of the athletic [office, the play-by-play account of the game will be charted on a big blackboard in Bayfront Park. It’ll cost you a dime to see the recording of another Miami triumph.
Guests of Irl Tubbs The morning after the Gator win the Hurricanes moved to Iowa City by the way of Chicago. The charges ¡of Coach Harding will remain the guests of Irl Tubbs, Iowa mentor, until Friday, when they entrain for Des Moines.
Out of action due to the three days on the train and in Chicago, Coach Harding has ordered two-a-day drills until the Hurricanes head for the Bulldogs. Capt. Eddie Dunn suffered a painful wrist injury but will be ready to go Saturday.
All of the rest of the squad that staged that last-half rout of Florida are in good shape.
Drake has had an up and down season so far against Mid-Western ¡teams of unknown strength, Creighton of Kansas holding them to a 7-7 tie last week. Washington University ¡of St. Louis handed the Bulldogs a two-touchdown beating and Northwestern romped over them, 33-7.
Drake power depends upon the presence of Pug Manders, the great fullbnck that tore the Hurricane line to shreds for one period last year,
I in the lineup. The hefty back has been on the sidelines half the season and may not see action Saturday. Headlund Bogey Removed Another fnce the Hurricanes will be glad to see missing is that of Bill Headlund, the Bulldog tackle who was a unanimous choice on the Miami all-opponent team last fall. A diploma removed Headlund from the squad.
It looks as though Harding is bent on sticking to the old Pitt custom of strictly power plays as long as they continue to work. As yet, the Hurricanes have not resorted to the airways as n means of getting touchdowns.
If the Bulldogs start holding the Miami backs, though, you can look for Dunn, Douglas and Co. to begin tossing the pill around. The Hurricanes have it all over Drake in the way of speed.
Coach Harding took practically the entire squad on the Drake trip. In the group are five flankmen, Walt ¡Kichefski, Frank Paskewich, George 1 Pittard, Verdun Arries and Johnny ■ Bolash; five tackles, Stan Raski, A1 Cohen, Steve McCrimmon, Jimmie Poore and Matt Borek; Guards Chuck .Guimento, Bob Olsen, Harry Hayward, Jolly Snowden and Bill Black. Centers are Joe Dixon and Don Salisbury.
