Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Saturday, November 15, 1953 Conchs Battle Fighting Conch Bitterly Contested Ball Game Here By-JIM COBB Citizen Sports Editor The amazing Key West Conchs upset the predic- tious of the experts last night when they cut the highly vaunted South Broward Bulldogs down to size and walked off the field with battle on a rainswept Wickers’ Field greensward. The | gridiron battle was a classic—it had everything in the way of football thrills whch left some 4000 fans limp |, with exhaustion. A gallant Key West line, which fought a heavier | bulldog forward wall to a standstill was the margin in the ball game which could The Conchs nearly pulled off the) Impossible when they jumped into a 12 point lead in the first half ef the contest to throw a rea scare into the visitors who were seemingly unprepared for the sort of football the Conchs threw them. South Broward had rated as heavy fave to cop the win The game was as bitterly fought @s any that the Conchs have found themselves embroiled in thus far in the season as the Bulldogs came back in the second period to pull within six points of the lead and then push across another score in the third quarter to knot the count after a very close squeak. Neither team could make an ex-| twa point to account for the tie. lt was a daring Key West @erial assault with a wet ball @arly in the contest that gave them the edge. The Conchs, who proved to be perfectly willing to fake chances outplayed the visi- fors by a wide margin through- out the first half but the Bull- dogs came back strong in the second to hold their own against @n inspired Key West holding game. Costly fumbles by: both teams, | the result of a slippery ball, set the stage for all of the scoring as the two superbly matched clubs became embroiled in a toe to toe slugging match that threatened at times to turn into an out and out Pier Sixer but never did. = / It was the kind of a football game wherein tempers flared as the performers battled their hearts out only to see their efforts at making ground frustrated by fine defensiye play on both sides, Late in thé'gamé, the South Broward tackling became a little. overen- thusiastie resulting in a near has- sle, as will happen if such a bruising contest, but cooler heads prevailed. The Key West backfield played their finest ball of the season against the rugged Bulldogs, but when it came to real down to earth football, it was the play of the lineman, including: Tommy West, ‘Stu Logun, Ralph White, John Carbonell, Peter Knight and Wayne Brantley that did the trick for the locals. it was a South Broward fum- ble in the first quarter on ‘heir own 47-yard line that set the stage 47-yard line that set the stage for the initial Key West tally when Tommy West fell on the pigskin. On the very first play the Conchs pulled the unexpected as doe Pineda fell back past the 50 and launched a soaring aerial which Lucy Gonzalez gathered in ‘on the 20 yard line and romped across with a pair of Bulldog facklers in hot pursuit to make it 6-0.

Penalties were held at a mini- mum as the boys played hard bu‘ | clean football, and that is the way it should be. H At the close of the game, the; visiting coach and the Bulldog | squad were bitterly dissapointed, as were the Key Westers and the |fans, but they were clean com- | petitors throughout and took the | | situation in stride. The officials, including Clyde | Crabtree, who is a top Orange | Bowl official did a fine job in |handling the situation. The unfair picture of the ball- game in the upstate press, that | had the tilt tagged as a ‘‘slugfest”’ | |is going to hurt the Conchs a lot | when it comes time for the Sun- | coast Conference to decide who is } | going to fill a vacancy in their |ranks. We think there was a lot more to write about in the con- | test than the fact that a couple of | cops decided to walk across the | field for a coke. Every upstate club that has lost a decision to the Conchs is going to claim that the Conchs are dirty footbalt players due to the un- favorable publicity. And it just isn’t true. A look at the penalty statistics will bear this out. Maryland Or Ole Miss Will Lose Perfect Record OXFORD, Miss., (—Mississippi football coach Johnny Vaught sends his charges against Maryand, cream of the Southern Conference, today in a gridiron battle that will | drop one of the two from the ranks of the nation’s undefeated football | teams, The powerful Maryland team, guided by quarterback Jack Scar- bath, has swept through its seven games this season without a blem- ish and has run its victory string to 21 games. Pre-game predictions figure the Maryland squad three | touchdowns better than the Mis- | sissippians. The game is the only one in the | nation pitting two unbeaten powers. | Maryland is rated No. 3 in this | week’s Associated Press poll while | Mississippi holds -down the No. 11 spot.

Gators, Vols To Do Battle Today DETROIT (#—Ted Marchibroda | Detroit’s sharpshooting scattergun passer, didn’t realize he had a chance to better college football’s : all-time passing record——and thus ‘almost missed out. Informed press box observers were squirming with frustration when Marchibroada, on the brink of breaking the record, called nine straight running plays in the fourth period. Suddenly he started throwing again. And when the game ended, the Franklin, Pa. youth had thrown for net yards—18 more yards than eve? gained by passing in a single game in the history of college football. Unfortunately for Marchibroada, his Detroit team lost 62-21. Tulsa strengthened its chances for a bowl bid by its thumping victory. It was one of the greatest pas- sing shows two college teams ever put on—and only 13,147 fans saw the Missouri Valley Conference battle. While the 175 - pound Marchi- broda was surpassing the 372 yards gained by Don Klosterman of Loy- ola on passing last year, Tulsa’s Ron Morris was throwing for 298. yards, Here are the comparative rec- ords: Marchibroda, 27 completed out of 54 for 390 yards and two touchdowns Morris, 14 of 18 com- pleted for 298 yards and four touchdowns. Klosterman completed 33 of 63 and also held the record in those two departments. Oddly enough, when Klosterman set his record last year his team was also beaten—40-7 by Florida. Detroit Passer | Sets New Record KNOXVILLE (® — Tennessee, bound for the Cotton Bowl for the second time in three years, met | the Florida Gators here today in the Vols’ homecoming tilt. The Volunteers, rated No. 7 in the weekly Associated Press poll, have lost one game while winning six and yesterday accepted a bid to meet the Southwest Conference champions in the Dallas classic. SPARTAN WIN 1S | By JOE FALLS | NEW YORK # — The nation’s § three top-ranking football teams— Michigan State, Georgia Tech and | Maryland—were strong favorites to | extend their impressive winning | streaks today, but each was faced | with a foe quite capable of spring- ing an upset. Top-ranked Michigan State (7-0) figured to have the roughest after- noon when it met a charged-up Notre Dame squad (5-1-1) at East Lansing, Mich. Driving for their 23rd. straight victory, the Spartans ruled a 13- point choice to stop the Irish, who } stunned Oklahoma with moved Notre Dame xth place among the nation’s elite, and today the Irish not only sought to climb nearer the |top, but went out to avenge last season’s 35-0 drubbing to Michigan State. A sellout crowd of 52,000 was ex- pected to turn out for th’s collision lof Midwest giants, and it was re- ported that speculators were get- ting as much as $70 for a pair of ticket: However, the nation’s TV fans could see-for free—the No. 2 team, Georgia Tech, in action jagainst a rugged Alabama team |in the Southland’s top game at !

This game figured to be a battle of offenses, with Maryland sporting an average of 28 points a game and Ole Miss 24%. While these three powers fought to retain or improve their national ratings, other high-ranked teams | hoped to drive nearer a spot in one | of the New Year’s Day bowl games. The Rose Bowl representative from the Big 10 could be degided when 10th-ranked Purdue invaded |Ann Arbor, Mich., to meet Michi- | gan, No. 20 nationally. Despite the | Purdue was 3-0 in league play and Michigan 3-1. | And not to be overlooked in the Big 10 picture was the mezting at Bloomington, Ind., between Wiscon- in (33-1 in league play) and In- !diana. Wisconsin was a 14-point pick. Rose Bowl host probably will be ‘decided next week when fourth- jranked UCLA (8-0) meets fifth- ranked Southern California (7,0). In |a warmup for the big game, Sou- \thern Cal met Washington today. UCLA was idle. At least one team has been picked for the Cotton Bowl.

MIAMI (®}—Miami’s Hurricanes |turned their full attention toward jmext Saturday’s big game with Florida today after sweping past a Stetson team Friday night, 35-0. Badly outmanned, Stetson gave |the Hurricanes a good fight for three periods before its tired de- fensive forces finally wilted to al- |lo wthree touchdowns in the last quarter. “Our boys really gave it all they had,” Stetson’s Coach Jay Pattee | said after the game. ‘They all did a good job. “I didn’t think Miami could run that well. Florida only gained 110 yards against us.” Miami rushed and passed for 302 yards, Stetson had a total gain of {166 yards while holding the score | to a respectable 14-0 until the early |part of the final period.

After a 40-day layoff, Bucceroni will be ready to mingle with the likes of Rex Layne and Roland la Starza in the division now ruled by Rocky Marciano. He also would like to even an old score with Irish Bob Murphy, the only man to stop him in 42 pro fights. Bucceroni won way off last night | by himself—a unanimous decision \on the cards of all three officials. Referee Ruby Goldstein, who pena- lized Bucceroni the eighth for a low | blow, voted 8-2.

A smashing right over Nardico’s left ear early in the 10th scored the only knockdown of the gruelling i fight. Nardico bounced up quickly but was dazed and hurt. Referee Goldstein took the automatic eight count and one more as he peered into Nardico’s eyes. Then he let it continue as Nardico yelled, “I’m all right.” He was all right, too, as he staged a desperation rally against the tiring Bucceroni, who already knew he had the fight in his pocket. “He’s a game kid”, sa roni, “I knew I had best punch of the fight.

Specifically, the committee feels that the progress which has been made on the fundamental issues— recruiting and subsidization—has been somewhat obscured by the widespread refusal of the founts of learning to drop spring practice and to ostracize the rich New Year’s Day Bowl games. These latter issues, we learn, were only very minor facets of the overall problem. Not exactly aggrieved at a ten- dency to underestimate the com- mittee’s work, but feeling nonethe- less strongly that the educators should at least be given credit for what they have done, Raymond Howes, who acted as secretary of the Hannah committee, desires word. "2 “If the committee has done noth- ing else,” said our caller, “it has succeeded in bringing the nation’s college presidents together in the common .cause and convincign them that they must take an in- creasingly active hand in regula- ting their sports programs. “There has been intense activity during the past year and a half in every athletic conference.
