Over one-hundred football fans gathered to give the club, who starts the second season of high school foot- ball here in over twenty years on Saturday against Gesu High of Mi- ami, a rousing send off. Each member of the booster club had, as his guest, a player on the Conch team. Featured speaker of the evening was County Clerk Earl Adams, one of the organizers of the local group who were instrumental in reviving the gridiron sport in Key West. Adams, in outlining the idea be- Bind the Quarterback Club, said “The Quarterback Club was form-, ed in the interest of the high school football players. We are strictly grandstand quarterbacks.” “Playing the game, however, is the important thing,” Adams con tinued, “and whether you win or lose, the Quarterback Club will be behind you.” The organization, which is made up of Key Westers representing all walks of life — from attorneys and Navy Yard workers to an electri cian, he added. Adams told of how, over a year ago, when the county school offi cials were approached and the pos- sibility of bringing the grid sport back was discussed, the officials were of the opinion that the odds were against its being a success. The speaker pointed to the present purchase of uniforms and the sod-| ding of Wicker’s Field as signs of the progress that has been made, however. Adams said that he can visual- ize the day when the High School} will have their own athletic field. | He added that the taxpayers have been totally relieved of any © pense connected with high school} football because of the way that local citizens have pitched in and helped financially and by donating their labor to the sodding of Wick- er’s Field.

And the gals are getting into the) act when Mrs. Glynn Archer, the wife of the president of the Quart- erback Club said that a meeting has been scheduled for next week at which time the lady football fans will map plans for their sup port of the team.

Finalist in the Nationals at the ripe old tennis age of 38, Mulloy said he didn’t see how the United States Lawn Tennis Association could possibly place him lower than second in the rankings. “There might be quite a wrangle | about it before the rankings come out, but I feel they'll have to make me No.1. Certainly no lower than 2,” he said at his home here. Mulloy bases his opinion not only on his feat of reaching the finals against Australia’s Frank Sedg- man but on his overall perform- ance during the year. Mulloy plans to take part in the Mexican National Championships next month, then forget about tour- nament tennis until he Sugar Bowl * even in New Orleans during the Christmas holidays. U.

Dale Hall, former West Pointer and like Rauch a new coach in Gatorland, is working with three offensive backfield combinations. He expressed a hope all three will arrive in time to give the Gators some depth. Florida shouldn't have to absorb too many penalties for running a kicker into the game. Casares, Hall and Quinn are the top punters and one, two or even all three of them are likely to be in when Florida has the ball. “Kicking kept us in lots of games last year,” Woodroff noted, “We will depend on it a great deal again.” GE WHIPS © COCA COLA FOR LEAD | By Nestor Casteneda VX-1 watked to a 15-9 victory | over the Telco club in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader in the Island City Softball league last night at Bayview Park.
