Peter and Paul and Nov. 28th, Contact work has started in earn- est for the Key West High School grid squad and Coach Ed Beckman is driving his charges hard for the upcoming opener on September 19th against Miami’s Gesu High. A thirty-eight man squad includ- seven | en answered the this year for drills which start- ed in mid-August, but only since the opening of school, under state law haye they been allowed to don the pads for contact work. That the early season condition- ing has paid off is evidenc- ed by the fact that Beckman has a finely trained group of athletes pounding across the Annex field turf daily. With the aid of Assistant Coach Paul Davis, Beckman has been stressing blocking and tackling fun- damentals with light scrimmage work as a finishing touch. ‘The. Conch mentor has made it plain to his charges that every po- sition on the squad is wide open and they are going to have to get out and fight for a spot on the starting eleven. With his squad aparently lacking somewhat in weight, Beckman is expected to stress speed and trick- ery to outwit their opponents de- fense. At the present time husky John Cruz looks as though he might get fer from Palo Alto, California in line to receive his tosses. However, | these boys could get a lot of com- Petition from Joe Pineda and Ha- rold Solomon another pair of classy lads in that department. The fight for other positions on the team is shaping up with the boys working hard for a chance to gain the coveted letters., The squad includes: Norman Al- len, Glynn Archer, Wayne Brant- | ley, John Carbonell, Don Cruz, | John DeMerritt, Jimmy Dixon, Tony Dopp, Gil Gates, Luke Gon- | Key West All-Stars Point For Clash With Conchs Sun. NAVY WALLOPS TELCO THURS. By OSCAR MILIAN Evidently the average Key West- er who has not been following the ball games at Wicker’s Stadium would think that amateur baseball players of the Island City League were not highly impressed with the performance of the Key West Conchs of the Florida International League because of the picked team that has been selected from local talent for an exhibition game with the Barney Lutz’ class “‘B” boys on Sunday night. Jackie Carbonell, one time flashy infielding star of the Young Slug- gers and sponsor of the contest says, ‘“‘we are under no conception or by any means under-rating the Conchs for their finish in the league standing, as a matter of fact, it is my way of showing our appreciation for the many thrills the Key West club has brought to baseball fans in this city since its entry in the FIL.” “And to further prove this point and at the same time give local fans the opportunity of showing their appreciation as well,” con- ‘tinued Carbonell, “we are turning over to Manager Lutz and his Conchs the entire proceeds of the gate receipts.” Carbonell, with the aid of Clay- ton Sterling, also of days gone by} * fame, and Robert Santana have selected what is believed to be the team available at this time, However, with George Vidal, slated to do mound duty for the Picked team with DeWitt Roberts at the receiving end, the fans are assured of seeing a fast and good game, and win or lose the Lutz ‘Dboys will khow they have been'in a ball game. A good crowd is anticipated to attend the last game to be played at this stadium this year and at the same time bid farewell to Bar- ney Lutz and his baseball clan ho will not be seen again until next spring when new faces will appear in the Conchs’ line-up. ‘The line-up for Sunday's exhibi- "ALL-STARS KEY WEST CONCHS Severino Mendez, cf.

Popack started for VX-1 but was shelled from: the mound in the first inning. Weems, who relieved Popack, pitched five hit ball for the balance of the contest but the damage was already done.

The Navy came back and scored two more in their half of the fourth on two walks, Parker’s double and Nelson’s single. The VX-1 took advantage some loose fielding by the Navy to score four times on two hits, a pair of walks and a brace of costly errors. All this scoring be- gan after two were out. The Navy iced the game in the sixth with a three run splurge on an error, Bear’s single Hinton’s double and a wild pitch. Parker led the Navy attack with a double and two singles in four tries.

The O'Brien combined four hits and a pair of walks to manufacture three runs in the fifth but Telco came back in the sixth to score two needless runs on two walks, a single and an outfield fly.

Lutz Voted Most Valuable Player Manager Barney Lutz of the Key West Conchs was voted the most valuable player last night at a meeting of Key West's press and radio sportswriters. Nap Reyes was in the runner- up spot. Lutz was given the nod for his handling of the club after the critical period the club went through when the Fort Lauderdale franchise was taken over by the league and holding it together as he did. His play on the field also was a big factor in the Conch campaign which made the average Key West attendance the highest in the league. Lutz and Reyes will both re- ceive suits from the Ries Brothers Clothing store.
