The Conchs ran rough- shod over the bigger, more experienced visitors to cross up the experts who hinted that they didn’t have a chance to topple..the Gesu, club, which is rated a sure bet for the Southeast Cath- olic Conference title this year, The Canchs jumped into the ball Game in @ hufry to push across their first score just two minutes and fourteen seconds after the Opening gun when they took ad Vantaze of a Gesu fumble on the visitor's 28 yard line and after Johnny Cruz had bulled for two successive first downs, Harold Sol omon slashed off his right tackle from the two yard line for the first score.

Grama a me K.W. Hi-School Band Makes ‘Gala Debut By EARL R. ADAMS (Band Boosters Publicty Chairman) The Conchs football squad was not the only aggregation that show ed improvement og Wickers Field last night. The High school band | which performed between halves, | was a much improved outfit, The colorful between halves pre- sentation brought the several thous- and fans to their feet in acclaim as the unit marched off the field Showing the results of a week of training the 62 piece band march- ed onto the field with military pre- | cision, Leading the way was a bevy of pretty flag ‘irlers attired in red and white costumes and six high-stepping majorettes in con- trasting uniforms of blue and white, After a march around the field, 14 of the band members, who have not yet received uniforms, march-/ ed off the field and the remaining 48 players lined up in double file in a salute to the audience. With one rank facing the north stands and the other the south sands the salute was rendered as the majorettes strutted their stuff. The feature of this mid-game spectacle was the number “To The Winds.” » Marching off in squads to the rendition of Henry Filmore’s “Mil itary Escort’’ the band was chang ed the musie to a waltz as the pretty flag twirlers waltzed in a circle in. the center formed by the band. This number was a decided hit.! It brought round after round of ap plause from the spectators, * Handling the band through their maneuvers with skill and ability which would do credit to drum ma jors of years of experience were Louis Cruz and Dennis Jolly, On the side lines “sweating out” the presentation was Joe Cornell the drill master, the man respon sible for the improvement of the band as a marching group.
