A snow-/ balling Key West High School grid squad smothered an, outmanned, but dangerous, St. Mary’s of Miami eleven last night by a 27-6 score and they earned it all the way., The Conchs gained the verdict to maintain their un-/| beaten record, on the strength of the performance of a: trio of backfield stalwarts who put on a stirring display of | power football that had some 3,500 damp, but partisan! fans in a frenzy. The three, Lucy Gonzalez, Dick.

Too, the Irish will un- fovbtedly carry a few bruises m their persons as well. The Conchs were hitting hard again. St. Mary’s knew they were in @ ballgame from the opening whistle, when on the first play from scrimmage, rapid Lucy Gonzalez wove his way from the Conch forty all the way down to the Irish 22-yard stripe. Two plays later it looked dark for the Conchs when Gonzalez was tos- sed to for a four yard loss but an off side penalty gave them a cru- cial first down to save the day when Gonzalez bulled over from the eight-yard marker for the initial Conch score-just one minute and 30 seconds from the kickoff. A pass, Pineda to Vermette, made it 7-0. Gonzalez (who seemed to have a hand in everything) pulled the locals out of a hole when he re- covered a St, Mary’s fumble on the Key West 27-yard stripe to end a 43-yard march on the part of the visitors midway in the first period. Jim Ricke and Jack Topley al- ternated for the visitors in a vi- cious assault that carried deep into Key West territory. Topley was cle-rly the best that St, Mary's had to offer offensively. A 125-quarter- back, he was a thorn in the Conch’s side throughout the ballgame. However, the Irish attack mis- fired on the Key. West 27-yard line when Bender took a handoff from | Topley and faked through the line tossing a weird pitchout that went astray and Gonzalez pounced on the ball to give the Conchs posses- sion of the pigskin. The first half ended with Conchs in possession on their own -yard line. In the second half, when they could make no progress on the ground through a tenacious Irish line, and the wet condition of the | ball prohibited an aerial assault, Jimmy Solomon sent a nice punt out of bounds on the visitor's 21- yard marker. A shifty St. Mary’s offense, springing from a T formation picked up 25 yards on but three plays only to see it nullified with a 15-yard holding penalty. As the Conchs took ever, mid- way in the second quarter, Joe Pineda ripped 19 yards off tackle, | Pineda and Gon ternated in a sparkling bit of groundwork and Dick Salgado supplied the crusher when he smashed over from the three yard line. The try for the extra point failed. John Carbonell, who with his the | quarter hurt the chances of the Conchs running the score up. Peter Knight recovered another St. Mary’s fumble in the opening | seconds of the final stanza when but it went for nought when the Irish pushed across their only score ton a Key West lapse. Joe Pineda heaved a long pass | (the only one he attempted from scrimmage for the evening) which St. Mary’s tackle Johnny Sabol in- tercepted at midfield and outdis- tanced a dazed Key West squad to score. They failed on their try for the point. The Conchs evidently got mad at this point when they launched a stirring drive which, with Salgado bearing the brunt of the load, was climaxed when Joe Pineda spun over the line for a Conch touch- down. Harold Solomon ran the ex- tra point to make it 27-6. As the ballgame ended, the locals were well on their way to another touchdown when Pineda intercepted a desperate St. Ma- ry’ rial on his own 45 and dashed down to the visitor's 31 before he could be stopped. Ray Stickney went off tackle to the St. Mary’s 21 but before the Conchs could launch another | play, the game ended.

Upsets Rare On College Grid Scene By ED CORRIGAN NEW YORK #—This 1952 col- lege football season, which has not even reached the halfway point, has shown at least two unusual tendencies: (A) there have been few upsets, and (B) defense has become The thing. The teams that were thought to have the power at the start of the season generally have come through. Perhaps the biggest re- versal of form to date was Pitt's triumph over Notre Dame last week. But the Irish were not con- sidered any great shakes. Wisconsin got beaten by Ohio State in another upset but there again the Buckeyes always were } tough and not too many observers (outside Wisconsin) were actually startled. The others all were strictly minor, a surprising situation in these days of teams facing major opponents without warmup games —or even without spring practice. As for defense, since the two- platoon system went into effect, the kids who tried to hold the jenemy were the unsung heroes. | Some of them, in fact, weren't even heroes. They were just un- sung. Period. But it was the defense that licked “Wisconsin for Ohio State. It was Penn's defense that held off Princeton and enabled the Quakers to snap the Tigers’ 24- game winning streak, and it is the defensive platoon that’s carrying Southern California.
