Overflow Crowd Hears Bedlenan Ta’k Tuesday, October 14, 1952 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Baseball Moguls Plan For 03 Season With Player Swaps —: SPORTS — Reynolds, Wilhelm |Salas-Carter Bout At Weekly Quarterback Club Meeting The Key West Quarterback. Club, at thew regular weekly dinner meeting at the La Concha Hotel last night, heard Key | West High School football coach Ed Beckman tell them what he thinks it is going to take to whip the “Fighting Irish” of St. Mary’s of Miami when they come to Key West in an effort to spoil the perfect Conch grid record. "We are going fo have to de- pend on something more than the breaks this week. We can’t expect these fellows to fumble all the time,” Beckman told an overflow audience of Key West Grid fans at the meeting. * Beckman also pointed out that the locals are going to have to devise a tough defense to stop a wicked St. Mary's sunning attack which springs from a T formation and fea- tures Bill Roine in the role of ground gainer. In an effort to devise a defense against the tough Miami club,} Beckman is holding tough work- outs at the high school annex for his team. . In speaking of the Conch’s 20-7 | win over the Lake Worth eleven on Friday night, the canny Conch said that as far as the first half of the ball game went, he was pretty well pleased with his boys, but when the Trojans start- ed to move fn the second half of the contest, the Conchs com- mitted a few miscues which could have cost them the ball game , | Beckman also praised the} work of tackles Stuart Logun, Peter Knight and the backfield en toto. Quarterback Club President Glynn Archer presided at the meeting. The group which has been expanding steadily, their weekly meetings are meeting with enthusiastic response, brought good news to local foot- ball fans when they announced that a time clock for the Wickers Field Stadium has been ordered and should be here shortly, pos- sibly in time for the next home tilt. (It seems that all you have do is ask these fellows, if you see ‘anything that might be improved at Wickers Field). Athletic Director Win Jones veported that visiting coaches have pronounced the Wickers | Field turf the finest they have | played on to date. (The Quarter- back Club raised the money for | this project also). President Archer pointed out | that Beckman’s oratorial style at the weekly meetings is being | cramped since he has just two prepared speeches—one for lost fames and one for . those the | Conchs win.

Gator Defense Faces Stiff Vandy Test By The Associated Press Florida's defensive line, which yields about as often as a Russian negotiator, may face its sternest test of the 1952 football season Saturday when it tangles with Vanderbilt freshman phenom Bill Krietemeyer.

Gen. Bob Neyland, still looking for an offense from his Tennessee squad, decided yesterday to con- centrate on blocking during prac- tice for the Alabama meeting. “We need to do a lot of work on our offense,” the General ob- served, and no one disagreed. Alabama held a long. passing drill with Clell Hobson, Bart Starr and Bobby Duke doing the tossing. The Tide defensive platoon took it easy watching Tennessee plays as run by the freshman team. Billy Shipp, 250-pound tackle, reported in uniform for the first time in two weeks. Trainers hoped his knee ailment would disappear in time for the Vol game. Light workouts, usual for Mon- day, were the rule at, most South- eastern Conference practice fields.

Reynolds, in his 1ith season in the majors, topped the American League hurlers with a dazzling 2.07 era. Wilhelm, a relief specialist, paced the National League in earned run effectiveness with an impressive 2.43 mark Final statistics compiled by The Associated Press disclose that Rey- nolds allowed 56 earned runs in 244 innings. Wilhelm was solved for 43 untainted tallies in 159 frames. Reynolds pitched 24 complete games, six of them shutouts. The 34-year-old “chief” also won 20 games for the first time in his big league career while leading the loop in strikeouts with 161. Wilhelm, who was “summoned from the bullpen 71 times without a starting assignment, ranks as the first full-fledged reliever to win National League earned = run laurels. / Boasting a formidable 15-3 won- lost mark, the 29-year-old knuckle- baller also became the second straight freshman to lead the sen- ior circuit in the ERA listings. Lefty Chet Nichols of the Boston | Braves, now serving in the army, took the title in 1951 with a 2.88 average. Miami Footballers Dominate Big Ten JACKSONVILLE (#—It’s still the same picture after another week of play in the Big Ten Conference football race—Miami Edison and Miami Jackson High Schools show- ing every sign of dominating the 14-member circuit as they did last year.

The broadcast will be aired by Columbia Broadcasting at 10 p. m. Carter’s opportunity to-regain the title was guaranted in the rematch clause of his last meeting with Sa- las, the bout in which Salas took the title with a split-decision at Los Angeles last May 14th, Salas is the sole Mexican to ever win a world boxing title. The 15- round decision, labelled by some as boxing’s “‘surprise-of-tthe-year’’, was won by virtue of an unrelent- ing attack and an abilitzy to keep Carter’s blows at bay. Salas’ pro- fessional record lists 71 bouts, 45 wins, 6 draws and 20 losses. James Carter, of New York, is classed as one of the finest artists in boxing, with a repertory that runs from defense to the KO-punch. Jim vaulted to the top by defeating the great lightweight champion, Ike Williams, in 14 rounds in 1951. Many experts have voiced the opin- ion that an eye cut incurred in the Salas bout was the major reason for his loss of the title. Carter is 28 and is in his sixth year as a pro. His record: 75 fights, 51 victories with 21 by the KO-route, 6 draws and 12 losses. This bout will be the third of the weekly Pabst Blue Ribbon- CBS NEW YORK (#—Although foot- ball dominates the sports scene these days, major league baseball officials are not hibernating for the winter. While the Monday morning quar- terbacks were replaying Saturday's big pigskin games, baseball’s brass quietly went about setting their house in order for the 1953- and future seasons. . The big news of the day was the signing of Casey Stengel as manager of the world champion New York Yankees for the next two seasons. During a lengthy press session, the Yanks also announced the un- conditional release of Charley Kel- ler, 36-year-old former star out- fielder of the Bombers. Keller, signed for -pinch-hitting duties on Sept. 4, struck - out in his only time at bat for the Yanks. The big ball hawk was a main- stay on the Yanks’ pennant winners of 1939, 1941, 1942, 1943. He was released by the Yanks after the 1949 season and played with De- troit in 1950 and 1951. Two former Yankee chattels, pitchers Frank Hiller and Bob Keegan, also figured in the base- ball news yesterday. Hiller was obtained by the New York Giants from the Cin ti Reds while the Chicago @ Sox bought Keegan from the acuse Chiefs of the International League. The Giants surrendered minor league outfielders Gail Henley in order to lure Hiller from the Reds. The veteran righthander, hampered Radio broadcasts during the 1952- 1953 indoor season.

The Spartans took a look at Stet- son plays Monday and got a start on their defensive plans, but at- tack was the word of the day. Coach Marcelino Huerta placed heavy emphasis on downfield blocking.

Henley, hailed a few years ago as ‘‘another Enos Slaughter,” batted .273 for the Reds’ Tulsa farm in the Texas League. Keegan, 31, was the only Inter- national League pitcher to win 20 games in 1952. The Reds also announced the signing of two coaches and the addition of four minor league play- ; ers to their rosters. | Former major league outfield- ers “Buster” Mills and Ford Gar- rison are the new Red traffic callers. The new Redlegs are pitchers Leon Foulk, Ivan Johannes and Cliff Ross and outfielder Jim Bolger. The St. Louis Gardinals also added minor leaguers to their var- sity. The Redbirds summoned Dick Rand, described as one of the best catchers in the minors, from Co- lumbus of American Association, outfielder Tom Burgess and first baseman Jim Beavers. In exchange for Rand, the Cards shipped pitch- er. Hal Coffman and second base- man Earl Weaver to Columbus. ‘The Cleveland Indians announced the signing of Wil Moton, a 19- year-old Stockton College pitcher for a $65,000 bonus to be paid over three years.
