~ Conch Gridmen Set Practice For Friday Afternoon Game Pineda Shines In Conch Grid Picture As Opener Looms “Gesu High has a heavy squad and the Conchs will have their work cut out for them.” Coach Ed Beckman said yesterday in speak- ing of the September 19th opener for the Key West High school grid squad. With the daily practice sessions on the ant-infested Annex Field gaining in intensity, Coach Beck- man has slated a full-length regu- lation practice game for Friday afternoon at 3:30 in an effort to give the boys actual experience under fire. Beckman has split his gridders right down the middle in an effort to decide on a starting eleven. “Right now the only bright spot in fhe backfield is Quarterback Joe Pineda” Beckman said, “he has the savvy to direct the club and a thrdwing arm that we are going to need.” In the line Tommy West and sophomore tackle, Julio Henriquez, playing his first year of football, look as though they might nail down starting positions. Lineups for Friday’s scrimmage which will be open to the public are as follows: White Squad, Ends, Don Cruz, John Vernette and Fred Frohock; Tackles: Frank Hood, Lew McLain, Wayne Brantley and Rex Weech; Guards: Nelo Ace- vedo, Ronnie Pinder and Joe Cates; Centers: George Has- kins and Sam Curry; Quarter- backs: Joe Russo and Ray Stick- ney; Halfbacks: Vincent Catala, Norman Allen and Ira Silberman and Fullback, Mario Roque. Green Squad: Ends: Jimmy Sol- omon, Ralph White and John Car- ponell; Tackles: Julio Henriquez, Jimmy Dixon, Stu Logun and Ralph Betancourt; Guards: Tom West, Peter Knight and Harvey Orapeza; Centers: Glynn Archer and John DeMerrit; Quarterbacks: Joe Pineda and Tony Dopp; Full- back: Harold Solomon and Dick Salgado; Halfbacks: Lucy Gonzalez and John Cruz.

It, too, had the last three in the top 10 under .300. Gene Woodling of the New York Yankees and Dale Mitchell of the Cleveland Indians both were well up but where were the others? Only Mic- key Mantle was managing to stay above .300. We don’t want to be one to paint a gloomy picture, but we would like to urge Stan Musial to start socking with more vigor or he’s going to have the lowest average of a National League batting king since 1919. The last time we looked his mark showed .335 and barring a slump of catastrophic proportions, he should win the championship in a breeze for the third straight year. But in '51 he had a .355 and in ’50 a .346. His other three champion- ships were even more impressive. In 1943it was .357, in 1946 it was .365 and in 1948 it was a mighty 376, won with a .321.
