| Lake Worth’s Experience Will Be Big Factor In Fridays Encounter By ALDO VIDAL Key Wes: High fichoo! The Lake Worth Tro- jans, who will tangle with the Key West Conch foot- ballers on Friday night, will bring a club which is loaded with talent and ex. perience to town in an| effort to blast the Conchs’ | current two game winning streak, Of the starting eleven, | the Trojans boast of ten lettermen including seven seniors. Halfback Jon Jenniches and tackle Roy Kimberly, both of them with two seasons of varsity ball be- hind them, are going to be the men to watch for the Trojans. Both saw but little action in last week’s tilt against Pahokee, but reports from upstate indicate that they will be . sod meee and will give the onchs a tough time through the contest. * _ With a light backfield, the Conchs are expected to rely on a short pas- sing game to lick the visitors. With Johnny Cruz out of the lineup, Joe Pineda will undeub- tedly be relied on to do the tos- sing. Wingback Lucy Gonz who has been clicking in the catching department to da’ ald the Conchs in this department, Cruz, who paces the Key West running attack may see limited service. Tommy West, with a char+ ley horse is also an uncertain quan- ‘ tity vat this time, although if he continues to improve, he wil] pro- bably be op tap for Friday's tilt, One factor which is in the Conchs favor is the respective weights of the teams, The Conch backfield is on the-light side, but their line will egompare favorably with the Tro- Jan first line of defense which av- e@rages 170 pounds, A banner crowd is expected for the tilt, which will give the local | fans their second look at the Conch footballers who have won their firat two starts in impressive fash SPORTS MIRROR By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO — Roge: Hornsby was named manager of the St. Louis’ Browns, FIVE -YEARSAGO —- Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, said he still hadn't de- cided who would be the Dodgers’ manager in 1948—Burt Shotton or , Leo Durocher.

Brooklyn Dodgers were bemoaning the loss of their attempts. A damp-eyed Jackie Robinson expressed the general opinion of the crestfallen National League | standard bearers, “Jt was that Mantle, that Mickey Mantle killed us. “¥¢ it hadn't been for him I | think this would have been a very different series. “We eame so close, we had so many opportunities. But Mantle |was the difference.” Joe Black, Brooklyn’s brilliant rookie righthander who started three of the games, winning the first and losing two including yes- terday’s 42 clincher, gloomily observed: “It gnaws at you. Tt tears you inside. We got so many men on ‘this is it,’ and then there was that let down. “it would have been better if we'd had our brains knocked out, lost 10-0 We would have felt better | about it.” ers, was uncertain over the type of pitehes he belted that decided the isaue. | “I hit a eurve or slider for my home run (in the sixth) and a similar piteh for my’ single (in the seventh).” The homer broke a 2-2 tie and the single drove in an | insurance run. | “Winnimg the series was a ‘greater thrill than my homers, yes, even greater than my grand- \slammer against the White Sox ‘during the regular season,” Mantle said. Jubilant Casey Stengel, at the Yankee helm the past four sea- | sons, held court allover the room. | Old Case praised Mantle and one and all that he was not retir- ing and then launched into a de- scription of the game. “Our first piteher (Ed Lopat) ‘us up on a couple of bunts (Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella bunted in suceession in the fourth jafter a single by Duke Snider), “Then our next pitcher (Allie | Reynolds) pitched real good but he got a little tired and so did our next one (Vie Raschi) and that } fella (Kuzava) came in there and | really took me out. of a jam.” Kuzava entered in the seventh inning with the bases leaded and one out, Me retired Snider and | Robinson on pop flys and held ; at THIS IS THE SEVENTH INNING SCENE at Ebbets Tied a pop fly which is taken pop Up ended the last Broo mya streak of the series, | club’s sixth fall classic in as many | base.

Using the Lake Worth offensive plays, the reserves of Key West High School gave the varsity eleven tice field near the Annex. In the Lake Worth eleven, the Conchs will face one of the best split-T teams in the Big Ten conference. With John Cruz and Tommy West on the improbable list, Coach Ed Beck- man is faced with the task of who is to play in their positions. Cruz’s ankle does not seem to respond to treatment and it is be- lieved that Tommy West has a bruise instead of a charley-horse as was first diagnosed. Just like all other things in this sport, time and time alone will have the answ- er, Many inquires have been receiv- ed by the Bench on what his opin- ion was on the first two games that the locals have played. From my spot, the boys if they are able to grasp the knowledge that Coach’s Beckman and Davis are trying to the Dodgers hitless the rest of the way. The fire-balling lefthander said he was lucky in getting Snider, who tied a record by hitting four home runs during the series, to pop out. “1 fed him a fast one straight down the middle on the 3 and 2 piteh. I was lucky that he got just a piece of the ball.” iger skipper Chuck Dressen paid tribute to Kuzava. “That Kuzava was burning his fast ball in there,” Dressen said. “He was very quick.” Dressen also was high in his praise for Reynolds, who won two games and saved another, f “Mantle and Mize hurt us but in the long run it was Reynolds who gave us the most trouble, He's big }and strong, a great pitcher,” | Dressen said. Brooklyn’s inability to hit with men on base were the turning points of the deciding game, ac- cording to Dregsen. “We had men on first and third the bases full with one out and ‘again we had the bases full with j none out,” Chuck lamented. fly balls at various times would me a work out last night at their prac- | once with one out, then we had | “We were in a position that four | put over to them through their ex- periences, then there is no question that they will go a long way this | season.
