Beckman Schedules Heavy Defensive orkouts For Tough St. Mary's Tiit @oach Ed Beckman, whose Key *: West High School grid squad cap- tured a surprise 20-7 victory over a tough Lake Worth eleyen, indica- ted today that he is going to work his boys harder than ever, parti- cularly on defense to ready them for the balance of a tough schedule which will see them meeting the first of. three top notch teams on Friday night when they go up a- gainst a highly rated St. Mary’s of Miami club. “Offensively, I thought the boys did at least as well as in the Paho- kee and Gesu games”, Beckman said today, “but defensively, we need a lot of work.” { Beckman added that the Key | West footballers were not alligned properly and that they did not ¢arry out their assignments as they should have. Physically, the Conchs came out of the game in pretty good shape. Jonn Cruz and Tom- my West, who have been plagued by injuries to date, incurred minor hurts in the contest but are expect- | That’s ed to be on tap for Friday night's | game. As the situation stands now, the Conchs rate a one touchdown edge over St. Mary’s who have lost | but one contest to date when high- flying Belle Glade eleven trounced them by a 12-0 score in their sea- son’s opener. Since, they have cap- ; tured three straight wins including a 26-6 win over Gesu. who the Conchs licked 18-0 in the first game of the season. : The Saints will bring back just about the same club that they had last year when they lost to the Conchs 19-6. St. Mary’s is paced by halfback Bill Roine, who could give the locals plenty of trouble. Small, fast and shifty, Roine is just the sort of a ballcarrier whom the TONY DOPP is shown as he brings Lake Worth’s ace backfield n, Jan Jenniche to a sudden against that club. MICHIGAN WINS Conchs have had difficulty with | thus far in the campaign. Roine was an All-City halfback in Miami last year, and they have a lot of good football in the Magic City. He gained his spot on the mythical eleven by virtue of his leading all scorers in that city. Beckman received a pleasant sur- prise with the sterling performance of a trio of linemen, Stuart Logun, Wayne Brantley and John Carbo- nell in Friday night's game. Peter Knight also played his usual fine | game, The Key West coaching staff, in | addition to their tough defensive drills, is going to stress straight footlfill in their workouts. With their offensive machine working smoothly and a sharp passing at- tack, the Conchs have a good chance of confounding the experts and coming up with a good won- lost record for the season. Beckman used 23 men in Friday night’s win which is one point in favor of the Conch’s chances for a winning season. Up until now, the | $64 question has been what would happen if the Key West eleven had to call on ttheir reserve strength.

These three-hour games are killing me and I’m get- ting out. There’s easier ways of making a living, and I’ve, found myself one. I've loved the game a long time, but not this much.” It was suggested that all um- pires had been urged to speed up the games, if necessary to crack down hard on the more dilatory managers and pitchers. Were they perhaps partly at fault? “No,” the umpire said resigned- ly. “All of us have really tried to speed them up this season, but we found we were butting our heads against a brick wall. “You can’t realize unless you're out there with them every day how many little ornery tricks some managers have of slowing down a game when their pitcher isn’t go- ing too good. We try to speak to them about it and all we get back is some foul language telling us to | mind our own business. “Watch some of them when their pitcher gets in trouble. First the catcher goes out to talk with him. Then, after a bit, the infielders gather around for some more con- versation. Finally, after a suitable time, the manager ambles out and waves in another pitcher. “All the time we know he’s go- ing to make a change. We might even have heard the first pitcher ask for help. But the manager wants his reliever to get in another dozen warm-up throws while the batter stands and stews, and we can’t keep him from it. The only manager who doesn’t do it is Ro- gers Hornsby. When he wants an- other pitcher he just waves from the dugout. He’s honest. “Another way they slow it up is CARRIER MEN rt. a M Vebosy and the | SPORTS ~ MIRROR By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO — South- ern Methodist defeated Notre Dame, 27-20, at Dallas, Tex. FIVE YEARS AGO — Michigan was ranked first in the Associated Press weekly football poll, followed by Notre Dame and Texas. TEN YEARS AGO Larry MacPhail severed his last tie with { the Brooklyn Dodgers, resigning as a member of the Board of Directors. TWENTY YEARS AGO — Jimmy de Forest, veteran trainer, died at Long Branch, N. J. by examining the ball. One game I worked this year they called for the ball 66 times by actual count. We can’t deny them the privilege. On one club it’s a set policy for the catcher to go out and say a |few words to his pitcher every time he’s allowed a hit. “Another thing you might not have noticed is that it’s become absolutely standard practice for a batter to step out of the box when | the count reaches 3 and 2 on him. It's supposed to throw the pitcher off stride, or something. They've thought up a hundred ways of | dragging out a game, and the | pitcher is only one of the offend- | ers.” NEW YORK (®—There was only jone thing that Rocky Marciano's | board of strategy was not quite certain about going into his bout | with Jersey Joe Walcott at Phila- | delphia, and the new champion an- swered it to everyone’s satisfac- tion. “We couldn't know for sure whether Rocky would still have | his knockout punch after he had fought 10 or 12 rounds,” says Charlie Goldman, the little trainer. “He hadn’t gone that far before, | and I suppose we worried about it some.

By 9-4 Score By PEDRO AGUILAR Strand Theater defeated the U.S. Marines 9 to 4 Saturday afternoon in the Naval Station baseball grounds. For the first five innings, it looked like a real ball game, with the score 4 to 2 in favor of the Strand. Sut in the sixth, the movie boys broke loose with a four-run scor- | ing barrage to win the contest. Strand scored two unearned runs in the first inning and in the third got two more when K. | Rodriguez singled, scoring R. Lastres and Cabot.

BURKE HIGHLIGHTS OF FRIDAY NIGHTS GAME When Lake Worth took the open- ing kickoff and proceeded to march down the field it looked like sure curtains for the Conchs, but when they fumbled, their opportunity was | gone, as was several more in later parts of the game. Many partisans asked Saturday night what was the Bench’s out- look on the game. In my way of thinking, Key West was lucky in all respects to win the game. The Lake Worth team played this game of football as a unit, but when the breaks are against you, as in this case, there is nothing for you to do. They blocked, tackled and ran with all they could muster and even in the dying moments of the game, they were still giving their all. It is considered that Key West is young in experience as well as age and it will take a few more years for them to be able tc do the basic fundamentals well. The outstanding players for the week were Lucy Gonzalez, fleet- foot halfback who on his own made one of the best runs seen in these parts John Carbonell for his blocking and heads up playing and Peter Knight for his quick thinking and line work. To these boys the Bench says, “Well Done.” Last Sunday’s Jamboree results were held up for several players had not abided by tthe rules and Tournament Committee had to act on them, Here is the way the re- sults read.
