Conchs Map Attack For Panther Tilt Key West gridiron fans will be treated to some of the fanciest football of the season on Friday night when the St. Peter and Paul eleven journeys southward from Miami to do battle with the Key West high school gtidmen. The Miamians have a reputation for wide open football and any- thing can happen when the Pan- thers open up their bag of tricks against the Conchs. The visitors are said to be able to run the ball around the ends and through the middle with equal facility and their passing attack has rung the bell consistently to date with the Following Through’ Pedro Aguilar The Strand and the USS Bush- nell baseball clubs seem to have worked up something of a rivalry and they really seem to be even- ly matched since they have met twice to date and each of them has copped a victory. Both squads have produced some good base- ball in the contests. Last Sunday the Navy boys went all the way to the ninth inning before they pulled out a} & win after they had trailed for a full eight innings. In the ninth, Manager Perry, with two men out and two men on base, pulled out hurler Olsen and put Burnes in the box with Moe Henriquez at bat. He fanned the Class B ball player to end the frame. Buster Roberts twirled the full game for the Strand and although touched for 10 hits, allowed only one earned run, when in the fourth frame Halcomb singled and Doolady tripled for the first and only earned runs for the Navy. Manager Perry started on the mound for the Navy to be touch- ed for eight hits and two runs in six frames with only one of the runs of the earned variety. A fast double play by the Bush- nell in the ninth was the break that won the game for them. After Pazo walked and C. Valdez popped to the catcher on an at- tempted bunt. Pazo was doubled off at second base. Maxwell had four assists and one putout at short for the win- ners. For the Movie boys, had four assists. Next Sunday afternoon the same clubs will meet again and the result will be anyone's guess. ‘Wink: Adams, Harold Thompson ahd Willie Sands were on tap to root for the games last Sunday and they made plenty of noise. ‘A goodly turnout of local diamond fans are expected to be on hand for the upcoming contest. REMINISCING: On Novembet 21, 1926 the American Legion Baseball nine played the Coast Guard at the Army Barracks and Van Valkenburg won over Tony Head by a 7-0 score, He held the guardsmen to ‘two hits, one by Talbot and one by Smoker. For the Legion, Dion hit two and Clements a brace of safeties. On November 29th of the same year, the Key West Regulars won over the Monroe nine by a three run margin, 8-5.

And it seems to pay off since the two teams have identi- cal won-lost records with each team dropping but a single deci- sion. The Concks in last night's drill worked hard on offense. After they have concentrated on straight foot- ball in their starts this season, Coach Ed Beckman has gone to work and shown his boys some trickier stuff since they have Oklahoma May Accept A Bowl Bid This Year NORMAN, Okla. (#—Oklahoma | astonished the Big Seven Confer- ence last night by threatening to withdraw and accept a football bowl bid—perhaps to the Orange Bowl—in defiance of conference rules. The surprise announcement came from Dr. George L. Cross, university president, who told a student rally he would ‘sanction a bowl trip if the team wants to 0. He and Athletic Director Bud Wilkinson meet this morning to discuss the explosive subject—and perhaps decide whether to sever their ancient ties with’ the Big Seven. Dr. Cross indicated strongly the Sooners, fifth ranked in the nation and headed for a fifth straight loop crown, have their eye on the Orange Bowl, from which he re- ported receiving several feelers. Such a course, he told cheering students, would entail withdraw- ing from the conference—and turn- ing independent—or certain sus- pension for violating the bowl ban adopted last december. And he added: “The only honorable course would be to withdraw from the conference.” As for himself, he said, “I would be. perfectly willing to go,” but pointed out he couldn’t authorize a trip unless all concerned agreed to face conference disciplinary ac- tion, or other consequences. “Neither Bud nor I think it would be smart to violate the rules,” he declared. The development came only a week after faculty representatives, meeting in Kansas City, refused to make an exception to the con- ference restriction on any postsea- son athletic activity. It also brought to the surface long - smouldering discontent, re- ferred to by Dr. Cross cryptically last night when he said, “We're in the doghouse with the Big Seven for many reasons.” Asked about the conference posi- tion at a Quarterbacks Club meet- jng Monday, Wilkinson said: “T have a strong feeling the rule will be changed in January, but that’s jyst a month too late.” The pronouncement ‘from Dr. Cross, a strong sports booster, is a direct reversal of his stand a year ago when he went‘on record, along with university fegents, as opposing post season football games. The president said he had al- ready contacted the regents, who left the matter up tp him and Wilkinson. i In Kansas City, Conference Ex- ecutive Secretary Reaves Peters said, “It’s all news to me.” Marciano Trains Underwater’ Says His Manager SAN FRANCISCO — Heavy- | weight Champion Rocky Marciano | isn't a faney dan in’the ring.

Deception will be the order of the day in further practice sessions _ this week. In last Friday’s South Bro- ward game, the Conchs used a man in motion to advantage, and the fans are likely to see a little more razzle dazzle this week and in the upcoming tilt with Cristo- bal high of Panama. There is a shortage of scouting information regarding the Pan- thers and the Key West board of strategy has had to rely on the movies of last year’s contest in which the Conchs were defeated by a 22-12 margin. The locals are fighting mad oyer that defeat and the fur should fly when they get a crack at them on Friday here. Harvey Orapeza is expected to see plenty of action at the guard spot on Friday night as he has shown some really fine line play this season. Meanwhile Beckman announced that John Cruz will be out for the balance of the season with a knee injury that has failed to respond to treatment. A dry field should provide the opportunity for some wide open football, the like of which Key West fans have probably not seen. Tiger Passing Combination BENCH VIEWS By JACK K. BURKE With arrangements all set, hous- ing, meals and entertainment safe- ly cared for, the Lions. Club is now working on the pre-game and half time extravaganza. The Fleet Sonar School from the Naval Station has agreed to have their drill team and band to per- form for the Navy cause while the Marines will be represented by their own 40-piece band plus the Key West Marine Drum and Bugle Corps. Some of the dignitaries who will witness this contest are RAdm Irving T. Duke, USN, Commander U. S. Naval Base, Brigadier Gen- eral W. F. Cooley, USMA, Com- mander Third Marine Air Wing, and United States Senator George Smathers, who is also a Major in the Marine Corps Reserve. Other high ranking officers from Pen- sacola and other places in the state have made known their de- sire to attend. Tickets are now on sale and at least 6,000 fans are expected.

Tom Hughes (left), who performs at quarterback, is said to be the best high school passer in the Canal Zone while Bob Salter, an end, has been on the receiving end when most of Hughes’ passes clicked. Key West-Cristobal Clash Is Shaping Up As A Passing Duel| * Pineda and Gonzalez vs. Hughes and Salter! This passing treat seems to be in order for the Key West Shrine club's football classic at Wickers Stadium when the Key West Conchs meet the Cristobal (Canal Zone) Tigers on the night of Fri- day, Nov. 28. Joo Pineda has come along rapidly this year and is recog- nized as one of the best high school passers in the state. The thousands of fans who have seen Lucy Gonzalez pull in Pineda’s passes this year, will attest to his caliber as a receiver. From the Canal Zone has come the report that Tom Hughes, a 175 pound quarterback, is no slouch when it comes to passing and that in Bob Salter a 136 pound end he has a formidable receiver. Most of the touchdowns the Tigers have scored this year have come as a result of the Kirke Will Speak To Astronomy Club Mr. Wallace Kirke will speak to the Astronomy Club Thursday night on the subject of “Number and the Nature of the Universe.” jIn his talk he will explain some | recent philosphical discoveries an- | Where did Rocky develop his j}mounce in Yale Review concern- | verse and how these are involved mathematically with many other known “constants” of astronomy.

They have a line that averages 155 pounds and have proved that they can gain yardage on the ground if neces- sary. The tilt will provide a dazzling finale to a successful season for the Key West Conchs and every seat is expected to be filled on this night. Members of the Key West Shrine club announce tickets are going fast. Shriners will be at the Stadium Friday night with tickets. Those who have not ob- tained their ducats are requested to do so at that time.
