Key West Shrine Club To Sponsor Cristobal-Conch Gridder Encounter Sponsored by the Key * : Conch Intra-Squad West Shrine Club, the First Annual Shrine Club Clas- sic, will bring together the Key West Conchs and the Cristobal, Panama Canal Zone, eleven at Wickers’ Stadium on the night of Nov. 28. The Shrine club took over sponsorship of the game with the primary view of helping promote athletics at Key West High scnoos. After the tremendous expense of the game has been met, a contri- bution from the proceeds will go to the Key West High School Athletic Association. Key West defeated the Canal Zone Eleven last year in a game there by the score of 2 to 0. The Key West victory was a complete upset. The Cristobal Club is reported to be much stronger this year and at present is at the top of the Canal Zone High School conference. It is the hope of the Shriners fo develop the classic into a big event. If the turnout for the Nov. 28 game proves that Key West football fans want such an affair efforts will be made from to year to give this city better at- tractions. Tickets are now being sold by the Shriners. With the tremendous overhead of bringing the Canal Zone eleven here and housing them the Shriners must fill almost every seat in the stadium to make a fi- mancial success of the opening classic, SPORTS MIRROR By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO — The New York Giants, behind the five- hit pitching of lefty Dave Koslo, defeated the Yanks 5-1, to take the opening game of the World Series.

( — Alabama's Crimson Tide punctured the am- bitions of Miami’s youthful foot- ball team by sweeping to a 21-7 victory Friday night before an Orange Bowl audience of 53,916. Bobby Marlow fumbled three times, once in the end zone to cost the Tide a touchdown, but he was still the ‘star of ‘the ‘Bama attack as he mauled his way for 83 of his team’s 188 yards on the ground and scored twice. A 14-yard charge around end by Marlow was Alabama’s longest gain from scrimmage. A 15-yard sprint by Bob Taro setting up Miami’s lone touchdown was the best the Hurricanes could do in one crack. The surprise of the night was ;Alabama’s rugged defensive line. With the one exception of an 84- | yard touchdown drive early in the second period, ‘Bama’s bruising eight-man line didn’t let the Hur- ricanes out of their own territory. “We couldn’t make them give | up the football,” said Miami’s | Coach Andy Gustafson. “I guess they had it 75 per cent of the time.” Marlow fumbled away one scor- ing opportunity after Alabama had traveled 44 yards in the first period, and the Hurricanes took advantage of the bobble to move from their own 16 to a touchdown. Don James ‘scored from a yard out on a quarterback sneak, But the 195-pound Marlow made up for his mistake by leading the Tide on touchdown drives in the second and third quarters, scoring both himself on one-yard lunges through the line, In the fourth quarter, when Ala- |bama stood just 12 inches from the Miami goe! with a first down, Marlow again fumbled and Bob Schneidenbach recovered in the end zone, Alabama’s third touchdown was a gift in the final seconds of play. A desperate Miami team, trying | to get a tying score, gave up the ball on downs on its own 20. The Hurricanes were penalized to the five for clipping and Bobby Tharp went four yards to score as the game ended, BERRA NAMED AS GOAT By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK ® — What hap- pened? Was Yogi Berra guilty of one of the most colossal blunders ever perpetrated in World Series his- tory? Or was the squat catcher crossed up by bespectacled Tom Gorman, the freshman pitcher of the New | York Yankees? i “The issue was still in the air today as newspapermen, players man) crossed him (Berra) up,” said Stengel. “‘He (Berra) called for a fast ball. Maybe he (Gorman) threw him a curve. I wouldn’t know,”” Berra, however, stoutly defend- jed his.young pitching mate. “I called for a fast ball and got it,” he declared. “It was my fault that it got away. I knew what was | coming.” Berra displayed the index finger | of his left hand which was struck ‘resulted in Brooklyn's 5-3 victory | by the pitch.

Business to be discussed at the meeting will include the selection of a new general manager for the coming season and the terms of a possible working agreement with either the Cleveland Indians ‘or the Pittsburg Pirates. Bob Doty, who has been the bus- iness manager of the Lakeland Pilots, has been mentioned as a possible manager for 1953. He was interviewed here three weeks ago, but to date no one else has been contacted. Doty has had connect- ed with the Indians in the past. “Produce Day” For National Crid Powers By ED CORRIGAN NEW YORK @—This is “pro- duce day” for some of the top college football teanis, Michigan State, No. 1 in the country in the first Associated Press poll of sports writers, plays Oregon State, and the form charts say Michigan State should win with touchdowns to spare. Big 10 champion, gets. down to business against Wisconsin. The Illini can’t make another trip to the Rose Bowl this year, but the Badgers are very much eligible. If Wisconsin can get past Ii- nois, the Badgers probably will wind up playing in Pasadena, Calif, on New Year’s Day. But even if Illinois wins it, Wisconsin still could make the trip if it puts up a good showing the rest of the season. Maryland’s no. 3 aggregation plays Clemson in a battle of out- casts, Both are on probation by the Southern Conference for break- ing league rules. The Terps will have to put on a good show to maintain their position, they've looked like anything but a cham- pionship outfit in their first two games. The Southwest will have a full schedule of intersectio: games. Yet the No. 1 clash from the loop standpoint will pit defending cham- pion Texas Christian against Ar- kansas. TCU has lost two games heir apparent to the title, plays Notre Dame while Southern Methodist is host to Georgia Tech, perhaps the top team in the South- land: Texas A. and M. entertains Kentucky; Baylor meets Washing- ton State and Rice clashes with Louisiana State. In the Big Seven, Kansas plays Colorado. Oklahoma goes against Pitt and Nebraska tackles Iowa State. California, the favorite for the Pacific Coast Conference title, vis- its Minnesota. Southern California should handle Army with ease. Another inter-conference clash will pit Michigan of the Big 10 against Stanford of the P. C. C. This will be the television game of the week on the N. C. A. A. pro- gram. It is scheduled on NBC at 4:45 p. m. (EST). ‘ Penn, which could win in the Ivy League if Princeton wavers, meets Dartmouth, while the Tigers will try to make it 24 games in a row without defeat by whipping Rut- ers. In the top games last night, Ala- bama beat Miami, (Fla.), 21-7, and Syracuse shut out Temple, 27-0. Other leading games today: EAST—Brown at Yale, Columbia at Harvard, Navy at Corneil, Ford- ham at Holy Cross, William and Mary at Penn State. MIDWEST—Illinois at Wisconsin, Towa at Indiana, Vanderbilt at e Navy Wives e Bowling Loop High scores for this week were taken by OpDevSta CPO in all re- spects although none topped the league high scores. The USO-NCCS. relinquished first place position to OpDevSta CPO by one point, and the USO-YMCA came out of the cellar for the first time by trounc- ing Naval Air Station four points. Louise Duke of OpDevSta CPO bowled the high triple 540. Her games were 180, 183, and 177. This enabled Louise to tie Ruby Cald- well for high average of 162.

Hartenstine | OpDevSta Tops| Holds Net Toga Lieutenant Ralph Harten- stine, who is known to hun- dreds of Key West tennis enthusiasts, has added an- other laurel to his tennis record, when it was an- nounced that he has teamed with Lt. Caldewell Ragan of Gastonia, North Carolina, to capture the Tennis Doubles Championship of the United States Army. Hartenstine, who, with his fast, hard fighting game, fought his way to one of the highest tennis titles in the land, is now stationed at the University of California where he is taking graduate work im Public Administra- tion, During his stay in Key West, his work among amateur net en- thusiasts earned him the title of “Father” of the Key West .Ten- nis. It served to put the city on the National tennis map. He held the City Tennis Crown as well as the doubles diadem with Jack Sellers. Key West, when Hartenstine arrived here, had but two ten- nis courts, but through his un- tiring efforts, the County was persuaded to add twe more at the Monroe County Beach end the City came through with one more in Bayview Park. In addi- tion, A. Maitiand Adams built a court for the use of the people in Poincians. His work here brought the city national recognition from the National Tennis association for having one of the finest tennis setups in the nation. Known as a fine teacher, hun- dreds of Key West's younger set learned the game under his tutelage. He was instrumental in intro- ducing the net game to the Con- vent of Mary Immaculate.
