The Gators will be trying for their third straight Southeastern conference triumph. Florida THE KEY WEST CITIZEN BUCCANEERS VS. NATIVE FLORIDIAN | By RABID FANSTER AND NOW we have a second second-team of softball players. “Faithful Fans”, self-named, sub- mitted their selection to The Citi- zen yesterday with the remark- they believe it better than the one named by Pedro Aguilar. The method used by Mr. Aguilar, who is official scorekeeper of softball and baseball leagues, in’ selecting his second-best club was explained in these columns yes- terday. As there was no com- plaint against his first team, it is assumed Mr. Aguilar’s selections meet with hearty approval. We have no quarrel or “bone to pick” with the “faithful fans”, believing, as they do, that they have “every right to make this selection”. However, we disagree with two of their choices—specif- ically, second base and rightfield. With all due respect to the ability of George Solomon and Leo Stanley, we are of the opin- ion the former hasn’t reached his peak and the latter has passed his prime. Solomon was named by the fans for second base and Stanley for rightfield. In selecting a player for the keystone bag, it seems. the “faithfuls” overlooked a veteran of the diamond in games but who is still young in years. We refer to Fidel Lopez. Lopez was a member of Sawyer’s Barbers of the National League, but as the “faithfuls” disregard leagues in CONCHS SUNDAY IN MAIN BOUT OF sasesatt. came at cast OHARETY PROGRAM MARTELLO TOWER FIELD For the second consecutive Sunday, Key West Conchs will take on the-Pifates at East Mar- tello Tower™dield on*:Roosevelt Boulevard. ~ E Conchs, comfortably riding on, top of the Island City Baseball League, had ‘easy sailing last Sunday, conquering the Bucs 12-6. However, the Pirates were forced to present a makeshift lineup due to illness or absence from the city of most of their star players, including the whole mound staff. Manager Paul Al- bury sent a junior leaguer, Var- gas, to the firing line to face the heavy-hitting Key West players, who promptly went to work on his offerings. “There'll be a different story this Sunday”, the veteran Albury avers. “Ill have a_ greatly strengthened lineup to throw in against those Cenchs and. best of all, I expect all of my pitchers to be ready for action”. The contest.will be the only af- fair of the afternoon and will get under way at 2:30 o'clock. SAVOLD DROPPED (Special to The Citizen) MIAMI, Nov. 30.—A native Floridian, Jack Larrimore, prom- ising welterweight, will fight the Yucatan Kid, nationally rec-' ognized scrapper, in the feature bout of The Miami Herald's eleventh annual Empty Stocking Fund Boxing Show to be held here on December 9. The appearance of Jack Larri- “more on the card marks the re- turn ‘of the Floridian after a sen- sational campaign in New York and California. In the last few months he has defeated Vic Del- lecurti, fifth ranking welter- weight contender; Young Kid Mc- Coy, Bobby Britton and Al Smith, Pacific Coast champion. Larrimore was born in St. Pe- tersburg and received his prelim- inary training there. He then moved to Miami and developed into a hot local attraction.

COACH’S IDEA IS And It’s Old Idea, Too A WINNING ONE (Associated Press Feature Service) JOHNSON CITY, November 30.—Smilin’ Steve Lacey is a young fellow who built an idea into an undefeated, untied foot- ball team. His Milligan College Buffaloes of the Smoky Mountain Athletic Conference stampeded over nine opponents this season to pile up 179 points to 33. And it doesn’t awe Steve in the least to see his tough little football team listed alongside Tennessee, Minnesota, Texas A. & M., and the other big league outfits. Steve’s idea was that football games were won by hard, sure tackling and good blocking. And he has proved, his point to his own satisfaction. Lacey was the “kid coach” of college football when he became skipper at Milligan in 1933. He was only 24 years old and if there was any hope in the future, only Steve saw it. The young mentor had been a star athlete at Milligan from 19- 27 to 1931. After graduation he became coach at the Piney Flats, Tenn., High School and immedi- ately displayed an aptitude for lcoaching that attracted the atten- tion of his alma mater. In two years, his Piney Flats teams won '50 of 55 athletic ontests. When Steve took over at Milli- gan, he inherited a squad that hadn’t won a conference game for two years. But he patiently began teach- ing fundamentals and during the season succeeded in winning a moral victory—a tie game. His team lost thé others. The season of 1934 was entire~ ly different. however, because the Bufffaloes stormed back to win the conference championship —and they've been right up there close to the top ever since. Lacy lost 16 men from his 19- Bill Showalter of Radford, Va. and Captain Jim Riggs of East Stone Gap, Va. a has been a potent bill soon. Three bundles for 5c.
