This year, the Key West roster is studded with youngsters playing their first year of football, But the Conchs are showing "| plenty of improvement—and they are winning ballgames. It is to their credit that they seldom make the same mistake twice. As they gain experience, the locals are getting ‘football wise”. One of the chief factors in the successful Conch season to date has been the fighting spirit and teamwork that Coach Ed Beck- man has installed in his boys.

Spartans Keep Number One Grid Rating By ED CORRIGAN NEW YORK (®— Michigan State’s rampaging Spartans con- tinued their stranglehold on the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press’ weekly football poll today by nos- ing out Maryland in the fourth edition. + The result gives Michigan State a record of three out of four firsts. Only in the second week did the Spartans falter. That was when Wisconsin took over the top rung. State was second then. The undefeated Spartans, who are making the experts look good —they were selected as the best team in the country in the AP’s preseason poll—had a margin of 50 points over Jim Tatum’s pow-* erful Maryland outfit. Maryland also was second last week, but the margin that time was 65 points, so the Terps are gradually trimming the margin. State garnered 1,191 points, along with 49 firsts, from the 138 sports writers and sportscasters from coast to coast who cast bal- lots. Maryland, which has won one | more game than Michigan State, five, had 1,141 points and 36 firsts. The votes are tabulated by giv. ing 10 pcints for first place, nine for second, eight for third and so on down the line. There were two newcomers to the first 10—Virginia, No. 9, and Wisconsin, No. 10, To make room for the pair, Kansas and Purdue, both of which were defeated last Saturday, went tumbling down- ward, The most impressive gain, how. was made by Oklahoma, which vaulted from sixth to third jand gathered 23 first-place votes | along with 913 points.

The Washington Senatcfs top ped last season's home ty figures by 468 whe ree GO G0 fans te Griffith the nema Mickey Vernon Tied For AL Fielding Honors NEW YORK (#—The Brooklyn | Dodgers ani the Cincinnati Reds, who equalled a National League |club fielding record this year, placed three men each on the list of 1952 fielding winners. In the American League, the | world champion New York Yan- kees and the surprising Washington Senators topped the pack with two men each. Final Associated Press figures today reveal that Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati and Mickey Vernon of Washington retained their 1951 titles. Each showed a .993 mark to pace all other first sackers. In the National League, Grady Hatton of the Reds took second base honors with a .990 mark. Shortstop Johnny Logan of Bos- ton, in his first full year in the | major leagues, captured honors at his position over seasoned veterans | like Pee Wee Reese, Al Dark and | Granny Hamner. Logan committed | only 18 errors in 117 games for a 973 slate. Brooklyn’s Billy Cox went a long | way toward evidencing his superi- ority by topping all NL third sack- ers with 972. Boston’s Sid Gordon paced all the flychasers with a .996 average. He is flanked in the outfield by Duke Snider of Brooklyn and Bob Borkowski of Cincinnati. With Vernon in the AL infield were Nellie Fox, Chicago's scrap- ipy second baseman with .985; shortstop Johnny Lipon, who split the season between Detroit and Boston, and Gil McDougald of the Yankees at third base. Lipon, who was last among the short fielders last year with a .949 mark, posted a .979 this year. McDougald fielded 972. Gene Woodling of New York, | Jim Busby of Washington and Dale | Mitchell, runnerup in the batting race for Cleveland, comprise the | outfield. Rookie Clint Courtney of the St. Louis Browns paced all AL catch- rs with a 996 mark. In the Na- jonal League Brooklyn’s Roy Cam- panella ruled the roost. His mark | was .994. | ‘Auburn Coach (Complains Of ° ee . (Discrimination | ATLANTA (—Coach Ralph Jot- dan of Auburn says some South- eastern Conference football rules discriminate against schools with the weaker grid teams. He was particularly critical of , the 20-session limitation on spring | practice and the 30-freshman rule. | “It seems to me,” he said yester- day in an address to the Atlanta Touchdown Club, ‘‘that these so - | called de-emphasis measures sim- {ply are calculated to keep the ‘up’ teams up and the ‘down’ teams | down.”* For teams with experienced per- sonnel, 20 days of spring practice are enough, he said, “but not for a elub like ours at Auburn, which has predominately young players. You teach fundamentals in the spring; you don't have time in the fal. This rule places schools with young and inexperienced material at a disadvantage.” Six weeks of spring practice were allowed before the 20-session rule was adopted Jordan said the 3-freshman rule was “obnoxious.” He said schools were required to certify by the opening of the fall term the 30 freshmen who would be eligible to play.
