Conchs Explode * With Thirteen Hit Attack For Win Friday Here Making like a first division ball- club, the irrepressible Key West Conchs could do nothing wrong last night when they humbled the ad St. Petersburg Saints, 7-4 1043 rabid Conch aficiona- dos. Manager Barney Lutz and old pro Nap Reyes led the Conchs to vietory with a stirring exhibition of hitting power. Lutz, with a tri- ple and a brace of single as well as a stolen base and Reyes with two doubles and as many one bag- | gers set the fans howling.

In the eighth the Conchs picked up a trio of scores when Dunlap was hit for the second time with a pitched ball. Boche sent him to second with a bunt down the first base line. Pitcher Gaspar Del- . | it up with a 2-out run-scoring sin- te. DeSouza reached first on an attempted squeeze that retired So- lis and successive singles by the Gold Dust Twins—Lutz and Re- yes, plated him.

Front - running Miami main- tained its Florida International League lead witha 6-5 victory Friday night over the Tampa Smokers but the Sun Sox had to go 15 innings to clinch the deci- sion. Tampa outhit Miami, 17 to 14, but Rogelio Martinez, who pitched the full route for the Smokers, finally had to yield in the 15th. With two down, he walked Rocky Rotzell and Oscar Sierra and Rotzell scored when Len Pecou dropped Huberto Fernandez’ high fly on the leftfield line. Billy Darden, the second relief hurler for Miami, got credit for the win, working the last three innings. Second-place Miami Beach, two gamés out of the lead, kept the pace with a 7-1 victory over Lake- land. The Flamingos clinched the decision with two runs in the fourth on a single by Chuck Ehl- man, a walk and three errors The West Palm Beach Indians came from behind with two runs in the eighth to defeat Havana 2-1.

Colgate Welcomes New Grid Coach (AP) Newasfeatures HAMILTON, N. Y.—Colgate's new head football coach, Harold Lahar, is following in the foot- steps of some of the most illus- trious names in the sport. He is the 22nd coach in Colgate’s 62-year football history, but only the third in the last 23 years. Lahar’s predecessors were Andy Kerr, Dick Harlow, Paul Bixler, Frank “Buck” O'Neill and Larry Bankart. These mentors carried the Red Raiders’ fortunes to the heights from its drab beginnings in 1890 when the sport was first in- troduced on the Chenango cam- us. The first formal coach of that initial team was a man with the appropriate name of Samuel} Col- gate. But the teams were more or less of the “scrub” variety They were lucky if they could heve enough players to make one team. In 1896 a coach named Joe Colnon was hired—but remained only one season. Colgate won 3, lost 4 and tied 1. Such were Colgate’s early grid fortunes. But the coach who put the boys from Hamilton on the map was Andy Kerr, the “Canny Scot of the Chenango.” Andy successfully guided the Red Raid- ers from 1929 through 1946. And now Lahar has traveled all the way from Durant, Okla, football are looking to Lahar to make the “Red Raiders of the Chehango a@ mame to be reckoned with in collegiate grid circles once again | | No Regret For Pitching 11-3, .850; Raschi, New York, 11-2,, | gridiron | enthusiasts | -540 batting average to lead the pionship Mathias Heads For Second Olympic Title ° HELSINKI — Bob Mathias, the defending champion from Tu: | t jlare, Calif., increased his lead in the Olympic discus competition after seven events today while as. sorted other athletes continued the business of methodically wrecking Olympic records.

Palatka Lefty Joe Penning- ton pitched the last two innings and was the winner. Smith got his chance when Char- lie Brewster, DeLand, and Bob Rucker, Daytona Beach, couldn't make ft. Brewster was called out of the state and Rucker became a father. Smith singled in two runs to tie the score in the ninth inning. Kassabian made the lineup be- cause Buster Kinard, Jacksonville Beach, was on the injury list, Kas- sahian singled home Smith, who had stolen second base, with the winning Tun. The South All-Stars got only five its but bunched three of them off he league's leading pitcher—Tom Mills, Jacksonville Beach—for both heir runs im the third inning.
