—y - = Conchs Taper Off For Seacrest Tilt Contact work has ended for the Key West High School football squad as they tapered off yester- day for their Friday tilt with Sea- @rest, up state. After a bruising drill at Wickers Field Wednesday the footballers spent today’s ses- sion taking a final look at the movies of past Seacrest perfor- f™ances during an intensive skull session with Assistant Coach Paul Davis outlining what he has seen @ them in the past. The Conchs, in drills this week, Michigan State Win Over Penn State Is Seen By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK ® — A seasonal have shown that they can handle the Seacrest defense as they managed to seore consistently — mostly through the air against the second stringers who set up what the Coach masterminds expect in the way of a holding game from Seacrest. The Conchs will be pretty much outweighed when they tackle the upstaters\ and if they are going to pull out with their fifth straight win of the season -- they are ex- pected to do it with a passing at- tack which has shown well in at! BENCH VIEWS Average of .781 means that of | every 24 selections, 19 are correct. ft also means that five are wrong. There’s no indication which 10 “winners” of the following college football games this weekend are facorrect. Michigan State over Penn State: Penn -te is unbeaten and has an outstanding end in Jesse Arnell. But Michigan State should pre- serve its No. 1 ranking with abso- lute ease. Maryland over LSU: Maryland’s nickname and mascot is that of a turtle. And if you remember the fable, the turtle always got there tirst. Oklahoma over Kansas State: if Kansas couldn’t stop the Sooners, the K-Staters certainly aren't strong enough to do it. Illinois over Purdue: your Sat- urday afternoon TV feast. The Olini hospital list is long' but the homecoming enthusiasm should be just enough to get them past the ambitious boilermakers. Southern California over Cali- fornia: the Trojan defense, fourth best in the country, to shackle Johnny Olszewski & Company. But it will be close, Georgia Tech over Vanderbilt: Vanderbilt had been good for an ; upset a year since Bill Edwards became coach but this doesn’t ap- ‘pear to be the spot for it. Duke over Virginia: two unbeat- - en teams with potent defenses and everything indicates it should be ®@ 21-21 deadlock. Duke’s superior feserves. get the nod. Wisconsin over UCLA: in the be- lief that Alan (The*Horse) Ameche will bust loose for a big day. Notre Dame over North Caro- lina: that two-week polio layoff hurt Carolina’s timing and now that the Irish have shown a pass- ing attack they will be tougher than ever. Penn over Navy: you must favor the team that lists Ed Bell on its roster. He is a letter-perfect end. Texas over Rice: you can't ever be sure of anything in the South- west Conference. However, the Longhorns have lost only to Notre Dame and Oklahoma. Finishing the others: FRIDAY NIGHT Fordham over Boston College, Miami over Marquette, VMI over George Washington, Santa Clara over Idaho, SATURDAY East: Columbia over Army, Amherst. over Wesleyan, Maine over Bates, Boston University over Lehigh, Colgate over Bucknell, Connecticut over Delaware, Dart- mouth over Harvard, Holy Cross over Syracuse, Temple over NYU, Princeton over Cornell, Rutgers over Brown, Pittsburgh over West Virginia, Yale over Lafayette.

BURKE THE ACTION OF A FEW SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY Sitting in one of the local busi- | mess concerns the other day, the Bench and the owner were discus- sing the action of some of the fans at the football games. It had been called to my atten- tion before, but now the situation has grown worse, so it is time for the local authorities to take some action. A certain group that sit in the North stands are making a practice of taking alcoholic beverages to the games and are passing them to all those who sit near them. As I said before, it has not only hap- pened at one, but at all the games the Conchs have played at the Stadium. This kind of foolishness should be stopped, ~~‘ only for the ones who are doing it, but a great nu- mber of stu*-~*s sii near and there- by get the wrong idea. These people are not satisfied with just creating attention by their drinking, but they also make smart and unmanly remarks about the visiting cheer leaders. When they do this, it cast a reflection on the city, not them alone. The girls made the trip to Key West the same as ours make trips with the Conchs and that is to give the boys some moral fight and encou- ragement when the going is rough. Without their presence, it would not be a football contest because they add the extra color that make the fans enjoy the actions of the team. I don’t believe that they would make cracks about the Key West girls, so why should they ridicule a who are just the same cali- r, Going back to the drinking, if I am not mistaken, there is a state, city or county law which least one of the Key West wins this season. The Key Westers are in top phy- sical condition for the ballgame which will be the stiffest test of the season to date. The only man lost for the game will be halfback John Cruz who is out indefinitely with a bad leg. Both of the teams have pretty good depth. The Conchs used 27 men in the St. Mary’s win while the Seacresters are said to have a very strong reserve list. Mentally the boys are loaded for bear ~- they want to win this one after they were rated fourteen point underdogs by the upstate ex- perts. According to a Conch spokes- man, they are going onto the field with the idea that they can win, | although they are not a bit cocky. The 37-man Conch squad will | leave tomorrow morning at 8:00} a. m. on two busses. The 100 piece | Key West Hizh Band will also make the trip along with hundreds of Key West fans.

Even if no such law existed, grown peo- ple should have enough common} sense not to drink when young boys and girls are in their pre- | sence. If they can’t wait till they get home or at some club, then they should not attend. Enough said! SCUTTLING AROUND Watching the Conchs at practice Monday night several faces were missing. According to Head Coach Ed Beckman, Tom West was at the dentist for dental work which had been loosened in the St. Mary’s tilt. John Cruz was getting treat- ment on his knee and ankle and several others were resting their sore and tired muscles. No won- der, after that they needed an ex- tra day of rest. Beckman stated that he hoped the boys played Seacrest with the same attitude, and frame of mind that they did against St. Mary’s. It is also hoped by this columnist, but a lowly few think otherwise. If many more locals sign up for the motorcade to Delray, there will be as many at that game as ther: are at Wicker’s Field. Sticking my neck on the limb as I have done in the past, I predict the final score of Friday nights game to be Key West 20, Seacrest 14, RADAR CATCHES 400 SPEEDERS GREENFIELD, Ind. # — Police, trying out radar equipment to catch speeders, caught 400 in just «ae evening, then called the whole thing off.
