Nearing the end of their basket- ' ball season Key West High School Conchs, of whom the local fans are very proud, are taking on a | very peculiar team tonight at the {Gym in the Miami Military Academy five. This soldier bunch plays few | games each year, but when they 'do play they really wage a bat- | tle. What is very significant to j local fans is that they walloped i 10 by 11 points, which, the OEE ect able to do. ? |. }'The“Atademy is a hard-playing | bunch. and that is the type. fo j play which appeals to the fans. | They are in there every minute |and when they get the ball close to the hoop they keep jumping jand jumping and slapping and |slapping until they get the ball !through. That's mighty hard ball to beat. Fortunately, the Conchs ‘have two guards who are hard | fighters themselves, Lopez, who was mentioned for all-state guard last year, and Woodson. Their | brilliant play all year in getting | the ball off their own backboard |has been a strong factor in the | High School wins. | The Conch offense is smooth, | steady and even brilliant at times lin this stage of the season and should nobly take care of the shooting situation. They will be ‘hard put to it tonight to keep up | with the Academy. It is general- jly expected that the scoring to- [night will be pretty heavy and | the laurel of victory will go to \the five which can keep up the | scoring pace the longest. | A preliminary game will bé an- other humdinger. The Carbonell | Stars and an Independent five | will clash. This opener will be- | gin at 7,15. 'NEW CONTRACTORS IN LOCAL FIELD | READY FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNING AND CON- STRUCTION j j | | Residents locally will do well |to remember that a native Key | West partnership is equipped and able to render first class service on architectural designing and | construction of their homes—both | new, and remodelled work. Many misfits-have made the grade in the major leagues. One good example is Rudy York, of the Tigers. After failing at third, first and the outfield, York put on the mask, shin guards and chest protector and became not only a great catcher but the home run sensation of 1937. Now Rickey and Frisch are going to try to con- vert Outfielder Don Padgett into a catcher, and Outfielder Moore into a third baseman and Third- baseman Guttridge into a short- stop. The Cards had success in alternating Pepper Martin at third and the outfield. . ‘The New York Giants did the same thing last year with Mel Ott and that move won the pennant for them. So, Bill Terry is going to keep Ott in the hot corner. . .There have been hundreds of other cas- es. / Bill McKechnie, manager of the Reds, thinks the dead ball of the National League will not affect good hitters. Uniform Basketball Rules— George Mundorff, basketball coach at Georgia Tech, claims that the “cage” rules are “unfair”. While he is not directly opposed to eliminating the center jump, he thinks the rule should: be rem- edied. The unfairness follows the scoring of a field goal, the veter- an cage professor explains: » He rbelieves ‘the rifles can be adjust- ed to eliminate the advantage without’ a return to the center jump. “Suppose a team on de- fense in its back court”, Mundorff states, “is particularly alert and aggressive. Because of the alert- ness, a member of the defensive team suddenly intercepts a lateral pass on the edge of the defense. He and the ball drive fast toward his goal post—too bad!” Louis vs Schmeling Again!— Joe Louis, heavyweight cham- pion of the world, wants a second chance at Max Schmeling.
