A d law student at Univer-sity of Mississippi continues to amaze everybody with his unusual athletic prowess. Don Ryback lost his left arm and his left leg in a railway accident when he was 11 years old. At the age of 26, he has behind him an amazing record despite his handicap. Now a sophomore law student in the upper third of his class at Uni-versity of Mississippi, Ryback al-ready holds one degree from Temple university in Philadelphia. A star athlete, he is a nimble participant in handball, tennis, soft-bal- l, football and swimming. . Ryback is a realist. When he suf-fered his childhood injuries, he made up his mind not to let the loss of his limbs get a psychological grip on him. He worked hard and adapted himself to conditions. Developed Arm. Not particularly sensitive about his missing members, ' Ryback has developed the remaining arm ana leg to a remarkable degree. And probably most important he has developed his mind to keenness. When he was graduated from Temple in 1945, Ryback enrolled at the law school of University of Pennsylvania. Forced by illness to withdraw, he turned to the South and University of Mississippi. There he won respect and has earned the d kidding of his mates, a fact he grinnlngly in-terprets as a sign he's accepted as one of the boys and not as a freak. He gets around with aid of a crutch, a support which he wields with amazing dexterity. He can boot a football, for distance, straight through the uprights while balanced solely on the single crutch. Fvnpls In Rwimmins:. In swimming he's at his best. Using a lunging stroke, Ryback cuts through the water with a speed and endurance that made many a d and d swimmer give up. Just to add frosting to the cake, he can do a complete back somersault off the high diving board. Ryback is no slouch on the wrest-ling mat either. Weighing around 150 pounds, he figures he'd tip the scales at about 200 with his other arm and leg. But, despite his dif-ficulty, a lot of the campus boys who consider themselves strong give him a wide berth in the grap-pling ring. A member of Phi Delta Phi, na-tional honorary legal fraternity, Ry-back even has overcome that final bugaboo of most law students he's learned to type with one hand, bang-ing along at a respectable rate of 30 words a minute. Sponsored, according to the re-quirements of Pennsylvania law, by Justin D. Girolanio, a Bethlehem at-torney,. Ryback plans to return to Pennsylvania next year to take his bar examinations and start his final apprenticeship as a law clerk. IF you will pardon us for pointing, big league baseball today has an extremely high average of leader-ship in its managers now after the golden fleece. The 1948 crop can match anything we have known in baseball. As they will figure largely in the headlines of the new year they should be worth just a bit more space than they have received ' "Who are they?" Even if you don't remember, they include Joe McCarthy of the Red Sox, Bucky Harris of the Yankees and Lou Bou-drea- u of the Indians. It might be ' Steve O'Neil of the Tigers also be-longs. We are not so well acquaint-ed with his work. It might be that Connie Mack can be included in this list we mean ig48the only year that matters now. You can throw out all the others. The American league battle will be a hand-to-han- throat-cuttin- g duel between McCarthy and Har-ris. It ought to be. They have most of the good ballplayers. McCarthy is a brilliant manager. But don't underrate Harris, the most human leader of the lot. Harris can handle his squad, and, when you ask him a question point-blan- he an-swers point-blan- protecting no-body, telling you the truth as he sees it. Harris is a rarity I haven't seen since the days of John J. McGraw. McGraw, as I knew him, was a help-ful friend when you needed a story. 3o is Harris. Managers Need Players Boudreau, a great ballplayer, has never had the material to prove his place. Boudreau might have churn-ed up a mess of trouble this season, if the Yankees and Reds hadn't reached out and lassoed most of the good floating material. A fellow can be honest, have an honest opinion, and still be wrong. In the opinion of this restless roamer, the best manager in the National league Is Billy South-wor-th of the Braves possibly the best manager in baseball today. Next to Southworth, we put Eddie Dyer and Leo Durocher on level terms. Both are something better than good managers. We like Dyer's system of handling his men and working with umpires better but we can be quite wrong here. Burt Shotton is one of the great managers of baseball. Rickey should have given him 50 per cent of every dollar he took in through 1947. For all of that Durocher is an able leader. He isn't a McCarthy, a Har-ris or a Southworth, but he is good enough. Mel Ott has another chance to prove his place. Ott is one of the most likeable persons in the game today. Charley Grimm, Johnny Neon, Bill Meyer and Ben Chapman are are good managers. With better material, they might be much bet-ter managers. But they will chuck in a number of grenades when the Cardinals, Dodgers, Braves and Giants come along. Florida, the Beautiful Florida may have many things that other states lack and that in-cludes California. In the Ever-glades, for instance, the state that Ponce de Leon helped make famous has the last frontier of sport, the most famous 10 thousand square miles in the United States. Here, witjain a brief whirl of the social softness and glamour of Palm Beach and Miami Beach, you can come upon both beauty and savage wildness, fang and claw, the rattle-snake and moccasin, the copperhead and the coral snake, the puma or what is known here as the panther, bear up to 400 pounds or more; deer, alligator, egret, pelican, heron and crane, almost every known variety of bird life and fish beyond all ima-- j gination. In one day's haul in a small boat we returned with 12 varieties of fish. The boat was half full of fish by 2 o'clock. There were wild duck and geese flying overhead and there was quail in the dryer spots. The jungles of India and Africa have nothing to match the variety or beauty of the Everglades or its look of wildness in certain sectors. There are no tigers, Hons, ele-phants or leopards around. But the puma or panther, ranging nine feet from tip to tip, weighing close to 200 pounds, is a replica of the West's mountain lion. The puma Isn't a tiger or a leopard. It Isn't even a jaguar, but It Is stIU noth-ing to meet on a narrow trail. The mangrove swamps and ghost islands here can get you lost in 10 minutes, lost beyond recall, without a guide. I was lost in less than 10 minutes. "Would I ever find my way back?" I asked, after clearing a few man-grove spots. "Not in a hundred years," my guide said, "unless you can beat a 1,000-to-- l shot."
