After scoring more points against the Belle Glade high school grid aggregation than any team has been able to do all season, the Key West Conchs start drills to- day for their meeting with a-tough Pompano club on Friday night here. ¢ Pompano, orginally scheduled as a breather, is expected to give the Conchs plenty of trouble judging from their performance to date. In last Friday night’s contest, the Key Westers ran up against a lime that is much larger than the Miami Hurricane forward wall. A 263-pound tackle and a 250-pound guard actually saw action against the Conchs, but the locals managed to manhandle them enough to gain the win In addition to their heft, Belle Glade pulled some items out of their bag of tricks which were entirely new to the Conchs. But the Conchs, who have gained ex- perience were not fazed and soon figured them out. In parti- cular, the Belle Glades, when they switched to a double wing, gave the Key West baliclub a few bad moments. And their screen pass, which elicked on at least three occasions ‘proved worrisome. The big factor in the Conch vic- tory proved to be the kicking of fullback Jimmy Solomon. It was a thing of beauty to see after the punting for the Conchs in earlier contests showed spotty. Solomon put the toe to a pair of beauties which soared out of bounds on the 12 and 14 yard lines respectively and on three other occasions got plenty of distance from his boosts to put the Golden Rams back on their heels. Jolin Vermette also showed talent in the kicking de- partment after Solomon was in- jured. The Conchs came out of the con- test in good physical condition con- sidering the size of their opponents.

Five football coaches of the coun- try’s major teams are doing just that today. They’re looking ahead to the remainder of their schedules and hoping they can remain un- beaten and untied. Michigan State, Maryland, Georgia Tech, Southern California and UCLA are the teams still in the select circle. One thing is certain and that is, barring a tie, either UCLA’s Red Sanders or Southern Cal’s Jesse Hill is going to be disappointed before the season ends. Their teams meet head on two weeks from Saturday and on the result probably will go the Pacific Coast Conference title and a bid to the Rose Bowl. Neither has a particularly tough task this week. UCLA .meets Ore- gon State and Southern Cal goes against Stanford; the defending conference champion. As for Biggie Munn and his Michigan State outfit, the No. 1 team in the weekly Associated Press poll, the Spartans’ next three opponents — Indiana, Notre Dame and Marquette — axe think- ing up ways and means of keeping the score down. Of them all the on Friday night but-it is hoped that he will be in shape for the tough South Broward game on the following Friday. In this weeks drills, Coach Ed Beckman has indicated that he will stress pass defense as well as working to sharpen up the Conch aerial attack. Beckman expressed pleasure, to- day, with the work of the Conchs in whipping the Golden Rams. Ac- cording to the canny mentor, the Conchs might have scored another touchdown Friday night if they had elected to get reckless, but with but a seven point lead they de- cided to play it cautious.

CLEAN yrish stand the best chance of get- ting through unscathed. Jim Tatum’s Maryland forces face. the two toughest foes on their schedule when they get back into action two weeks hence—Mississip- pi and Alabama, If Bobby Dodd and his Georgia Tech operatives can get by Ala- bama on Nov. 15, they should be able to close the season’s business with a perfect slate. In addition to Mississippi, Okla- homa and Villanova still are among the unbeatens although tied. As for the bowls, the picture still is cloudy and probably will be for at least another week. Georgia Tech is a certainty to go to either the Orange or Sugar Bowl—proba- bly the latter. Michigan State, which operates under Big Ten rules, is ineligible as is Mary- land, which is on a one-year sus- Pension from the Southern Confer- one for playing in the Sugar Bow] The Rose Bowl probably will have UCLA or Southern California as the host. The Big Ten repre- sentative is far from being deter- mined. Purdue is the current leader. Michigan also has a good chance of making it, despite being upset, 22-13, by Illinois Saturday. The Southwest Conference cham- Pion acts as host in the Cotton Bowl. The best that can be said is that Texas, on the basis of its 31-14 triumph over Southern Meth- odist, is in the favorite’s role. Except for South Carolina's well- turned 21-14 victory over Virginia, most of Saturday’s games followed the expected script. Michigan State nipped Purdue, 14-7; Maryland breezed past Boston Univer., 34-7; Oklahoma shut out Iowa State, 41-0; Georgia Tech defeated Duke, 28-7; Kansas stopped Kamsas State, 26-6; UCLA ‘defeated:- California, 28-7; Tennessee swept past North Caro- lina, 41-14; Notre Dame halted Navy, 17-6, and Penn State nipped Penn, 14-7, FLASH! ‘ Monday, November 3, 1952 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 9 MONROE COUNTY WILL.
