Page 8 ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Saturday, September 13, 1952 Conch Gridders Show Well In Intra-Squad Tilt Friday "yie WONe SRS Foamy By JIM COBB Citizen Sports Editor The Key West High School foot- ball squad, an uncertain quantity to date, showed yesterday that they are something to be reckon- | ed with when they unveiled this year’s crop of gridiron talent in a bruising intra-squad game on the Annex field. While the Green squad gained a 19-0 win over the Whites, the final score wasn’t particularly important to Coach Ed Beckman, who, when the smoke of battle had cleared, wore a happy grii when queried as to his reaction to the first opportunity of seeing his charges perform under game conditions. ‘“‘The boys are com- Ing along but we still lack depth and that is going to be impor- tant later in the season,” said Beckman. The Conchs face a grueling ten game slate. The boys proved to be good mud- ders when they showed a snappy Tunning game on the sloppy, rain- swept gridiron, and the biggest disappointment to a large group of local gridiron fans was the fact that the slippery ball did not lend itself to a passing attack and the much vaunted right arm of quar- terback Joe Pineda, which accord- ing to pre-season dopesters, is g' ing to be a big factor in this year’s Conch grid fortunes was for the most part kept undercover. Pineda did uncork with one 35-yard toss to wingback Lucy Gonzalez for a score which was called back on | @ penalty. The big gun in the Green as- sault was the running game dis- played by Halfback Johnny Cruz who ripped off steady gains and scored all three of the afternoon’s touchdowns. The Greens scored first in the opening minutes of the game when Cruz swept around right end to | over standing up after a slash- g ground attack had carried them into scoring position. Jimmy Solomon kicked the ex- tra point. The underdog whites came back in the second quarter to threaten when Ray Stickney pulled them out of a hole by hurling an aerial good for 25 yards from his own fifteen yard marker. Their drive fell just short of a score however, when the Greens took possession on their own fifteen yard marker. The Green backfield which ap- parently will bear the brunt of the Conch offensive this year with Pineda at quarterback, Sol- mon and Cruz at the halfback underway in the third period that resulted in another score when Cruz scampered across the goal line on a buck lateral play. Tony Dopp set them up for their third touchdown when he _inter- @epted a White aerial and Cruz again tallied on a 25 yard dash around end. The prize bit of action in the final period was a pass intercep- tion by frisky scat-back Gibby Gates with four minutes left in the ballgame when he carried | the ball 35 yards goalward through | a@ maze of white tacklers.

When Johnny Bulla and Sam Snead finished half of the tourney’s 72 holes yesterday only a stroke apart for the lead it brought up their divergent paths on the pro circuit. They were born seven days apart in the neighboring states of Virginfa and West Virginia. Both started pro competition the same year, 1937. Since then, Bulla’s only import- ant victory has been the 1941 Los Angeles Open. Snead's scalping of the links lacks only the U. S. Open. Bulla, born in Newell, W. Va., 38 years ago, outsteadied the field of 132 to be in front through the first two rounds with scores of 68 and 69, seven strokes ahead of par 137. The luck of the draw put Snead, born in Hot Springs, Va., in the same threesome with Bulla for the Eastern Open. Snead was three strokes behind the first day, but pulled up to within one with a sparkling 67. Bulla felt he was shooting the best golf of the pair and bewailed only his lack of ability to sink | Some long putts for birdies. “Put- , ting has always been my big trou- ble,” he said. Snead, as usual, said afterward he wasn’t playing as good as he | would like, but that he'd “‘be glad | to take another 67 today.” The starting field of 119 pros was cut to 64 for the remaining | 36 holes today and tomorrow, SS Your Grocer SELLS that Good STAR * BRAND AMERICAN COFFEE and CUBAN -—TRY A POUND TODAY— See the new idea in Venetian Blinds — —S Closed or open : warm days when you want KEY VENETIAN 123 DUVAL STREET diuminum — Teams were well matched as the | Let us give you MEASURED SUNLIGHT : Ro matter what angie the slats are aE pi gang amiay And better yet, on let the cool breeze in, there is no rattling or fluttering’ This pew and revolutionary Venetian blind is mad possible by Russell ““Twin-Ladder” Tape, which hol slate both above and below—firmly lock n place.

By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (®—How does it feel to manage a baseball club which is 50 games out of the lead | and is considered by some com petent critics to be the worst big league team, man for man, of the modern era? On the word of Billy Meyer, who admits to managing the Pitts- ; burgh Pirates, it is one of the most terrible feelings a man can | have and still get out of bed. There is a sort of numb sensation all over, the veteran pilot says, as though you had been beaten by a length of hose. But, we admonished our old friend, there must be some satis- faction—call it an inner glow— which comes from taking a batch |} of boys and teaching them the finer points of the noble pastime and hand-molding them into ma- jor league ball players. “Well,” said Bill hesitantly, “maybe there is that side to it sometimes. I look at this boy Dick Groat—he’s just out of Duke Uni- versity—and I say to myself may- be he’s going to be a great ball player, even if he isn’t fast. But it takes a whole lot of that to make up for losing ALL the time. gets mighty rough.” It is well known, Bill, that Branch Rickey has been beating the bushes as only he can beat them, and that he has been shipping choice rookies into Forbes Field in carload lots ever since the spring. Had it not been a pleas- work with such talented young- look. “I wouldn’t say that,” he re- plied. nowadays have no baseball the way they used to have. I can’t tell you why, because years when I was in the Yankee system, they sent up a boy and ball. It isn’t true any more. Maybe the draft is responsible. other day my catcher, Clyde Mc- Cullough, gave one of our young acknowledge it, so Clyde gave it to him two more times. Nothing I asked him if he got the sign and he said sure, he got it. “T controlled myself and asked him politely why he hadn’t ac- knowledged it and broken for the bag to get McCullough’s pick-off.
