In Season's Opener Here Friday Nigh The Key West High School Grid squad will have their work cut out for them Friday night when they go up against a heavier and more experienced Gesu High squad in the 1952 curtain opener. With four men who placed on last year’s All-City squad in Mia- mi, Gesu ratés as something of a favorite against the Conchs in the | contest. Gesu will field a squad averaging 175 pounds while the Conchs tip the scales at an average of 154. But what the locals lack brawn, they make up for in fight and as the saying goes, “Never underestimate a Conch.” Head Coach Ed Beckman has been drill- ing his charges nightly in an ef- fort to work up a passing attack, and according to the dour mentor, the Conchs’ aerial work is “still a bit spotty.” : But when Beckman says ‘it is spotty, chances are it means that the boys are coming along nicely. Good news for the Conchs arriv- ed when it was learned that half- back John Cruz and end Jimmy Solomon, who were injured in prac- tice sessions last week will be on tap and in good shape for the | opener. Cruz is expected to bear | the brunt of the Key West ground | is being |: counted on to handle the punting |» attack while Solomon assignments. Beckman said today that the | starting team will consist of Ralph White and Jim Solomon at the ends, Wayne Brantley and Julio Henriquez at the tackles, Peter Knight and Tom West at the guard | Positions, and Johnny DeMerritt at center. Joe Pineda will call the | signals with Cruz and Lucy Gon- | zalez at the halfback spots and Harold Solomon holding down the fullback ‘position. Tom West and Joe Pineda will be the Conch co-captains for the Gesu game, The boys that should give the locals the hardest time could be 213- pound tackle Billy Brasmar, who, along with his running mate, Johnny Orsille, an All-City choice in 1951 are going to be tough to run through. Beckman has scheduled regular drills for today and tomorrow and on Thursday the workout will be limited to a conditioning session | leading up to Friday’s contest.

This is the beer with the extra stand-up character, the extra clean, bright taste with just the kiss of the hops. You get these extras in Schlitz because Schlitz people have an extra- sensitive way of handling the sensitive ingredients of beer~ a “Gold Thumb”, you might call it.
