THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 6 Saturday, November 22, 1952 onchs Drop Decision Pass Interception Costs Conchs Second Loss Of Season To Date By JIM COBB Citizen Sports Editor A ragged first: half cost the Key West Conch foot- ballers their second defeat of the season last night when the St. Peter and Paul Panthers came out the winners in a 14-7 ball gagme, the result of which was in doubt right down to the wire. A 97-yard touchdown jaunt after a pass intercepted by Dawson Bugilimio gave the Panthers the victory after a hard-fought battle in which the visitors unveiled a pre- cision football machine, the like of which Key West had not been faced with to date. It was the second straight win over the Conchs in as many years for the Miamians. Key West managed to pick up only 21 yards from scrimmage throughout the ‘irst half and they did not manage to gain a first down until the. third period. When they came to life it was apparent-| ly too late. | Harold Solomon was the man for | the Conchs when he almost single- | handedly licked the Panthers with | his hard running tactics through | the middle of the line. St. Pete’s turned’ on the steam in the first period to push across | their initial score and held the | lead until the fourth quarter when | the Conchs scored their only TD | to knot up the ballgame. The Conchs redeemed them selv- es in the opening quarter when | they turned back a St. Pete touch- down bid with a stirring stand on | their own four yard line. The hard | digging defensive play of guard | Tommy West and Peter Knight along with Stu Logun frustra- ted the Panther attack. The Conchs took over the pigskin on downs at this point. ‘The situation seemed to be in hand when Jim Solomon punted the Conchs out of danger mo- ments later but when Dave Ken- nedy broke loose for a 28 yard flaunt, the Key Westers found themselves in hot water once more with but 29 seconds to go In the opening period. After a pass play’ that took the Panthers to the one foot mark- er, John Armaly bulled over for the initial seore in the ball game. Kennedy kicked the extra point to give them a seven point edge. In the second quarter, the Conchs could go exactly nowhere when the Panthers rolled up sizable gains on the ground. Hal Solomon was : gain the only Conch who could get roll- ing against the Panther de‘ense when he made it the hard way— right through the-center of the visiting forward wall. The kicking of Jim Solomon saved the day for the Key Westers when he pepeatedly lofted the ball out of danger. At the start of the second half, the Conchs evidently got mad and their offensive machine, which | has been the scourge of e visit. | ing elevens to date, begari to function. Again it was Solomon through the middle as the Conchs rolled up a trio of first downs. A | tricky double reverse with Joe | Pineda carrying the mail was | good for 15 yards as the‘Key West Conchs drove deep into St. Pete territory late in the third) qu ter to set the stage for the score. Lucy Gonzalez, who previously could go nowhere against the Pan- thers began to pick up the few ex- | tra yards that counted in the first | U. Of Florida May Get Gator Bowl Bid Soon GAINESVILLE # with a bid if it wins, goes after top state rival Miami today. Whether the Florida Gators, 13- point favorites, ride into their first bowl game depends mainly on how badly injuries have’ mussed up their defensive platoon, and Mi- ami’s incentive to pull an upset. The bitterness that has marked the young Florida-Miemi rivalry may be all the encouragement the Hurricanes need to spoil Florida’s season and take the state football championship. Miami has licked Florida in seven out of the 13 games of the series, including the last three out- ings. But this year’s Hurricane team which has a mediocre 4-4 record to date is not made of the same stuff that did the trick in 1949, ’50, and ’51. The Gators have been having their best season in years, so far winning five while losing three. The defeat by Cotton Bowl-bound Tennessee last week played havoc with Florida’s usually strong. de- fensive lineup. Four men were in- jured, Guard Joe D?’Agostino, Sideback Bob Davis, Safety Man Jack Nichols and End Bob Horton. D'Agostino wasn’t in shape’ for practice again until.midweek. The Florida attack, featuring Rick Casares, Buford Long and Papa Hall, is rated with the best in the Southeastern Conference. It has scored at least two touchdowns. in every game. ‘Miami Coach Andy Gustafson is counting on Pud Constantino, Har- |ry Mallios, Wally Piper and Dick Albrecht to lead the running as- sault on Florida’s weakened de- fense. John Melear and Don James will do the passing. - Gustafson, whose defense pla- toon is reported greatly improved, had this to say about his attack: “We just hope our offensive unit will perform miracles and help us make a game of it.” The Gators, if they win, are ex- pected co get the Gator Bowl bid within an hour or two after the game, Lose, and the bowl commit- tee likely will look elsewhere. It’s no secret that the Gator Bowl Selection Committee’ is root- ing for Florida. It ‘needs a team down department. Lucy drove all the way tot he Your yard line and} Solomon, with another bruising se- ries of line smashes pushed the | pigskin to the one foot marker. On the first play of the final period, Dick Salgado supplied the crusher when he bulled over the line from the one-foot marker for| the lone Key West score. They ran the extra point to knot the count, As the clubs jockeyed for posi-/ tion in the final quarter, it looked} like the Key Westers had received} the break they needed when Jim! Solomon Fecovered Kennedy's fum- ble.en the 16-yard line. | Mhe Conchs then went on the march, A pass, Pineda to Gon- zalez from a kick formation made it look like they might score, but as the locals, working desparate against time, took to the air, Bu- gilimio grabbed an aerial in led for Jim Solomon on his own three and scampered all the way to pay dirt. Kennedy again booted the ex tra point With but 15 seconds remaining in the ball game, the Conchs got exactly nowhere and the contest ended with another pass intercep- tion — this time by Gasson on his own 31 GRIDIRON GLEANINGS: Pan ther end John Supple, whe was re. moved from the field in an am- bulance, received nothing more than a gash on his forehead, He was treated at Monroe General Hospital and released immediately From this car looked like it was s y that cost the Conch teams knew they were in game.

Two of the nation’s undefeated, “|untied squads—Southern California | and UCLA—will go at it before more than 100,000 spectators at Los Angeles and millions of TV viewers for the Pacific Coast title and the Rose Bowl bid that goes with it. * The Big 10 representative also may be decided. Wisconsin, which since 1912, needs only to beat Min- nesota to do no worse than tie for the title. If the Badgers win and Michi: signment—the two winners will jfinish deadlocked and a confer- ence vote will be necessary. Since Michigan was in the Tournament of Roses two years ago, the vote probably would go to ti Badgers. If both lose, however, and Pur- |due whips Indiana, the Boiler- makers and Minnesota wil! wind up tied for the crown, Th's a’so would necessitate aévote to d2zide who goes to Pasadena. The ‘Southern California-UCLA game, scheduled to get under way at 5 p. m., EST, has been rated pretty much of a toss-up all week. Both are single wing cvtfits, have | scoring potential but rely mostly on defense, and. are spearheaded by. top-notch halfbacks — Jimmy Sears of the Trojans and Paul Cameron of the Uclans. | It boils down to the fact that\the | team which can tally at all will | be at a great advantage, since he be much scoring. The only other major bow! that still is undecided on the teams is the Orange, and that should be clarified somewhat. Pitt, Alabama and Syracuse all are in the running, with the last named having what should be a romp against Fordham. This will be the first time in many a year New York has seen a team that has bowl possibilities. rough tasks, The Panthers go against Penn State, once a bowl candidate, but now an .also-ran. |The Nittany Lions, still can give anyone a battle, though. Alabama, beaten last week, has the most unenviable assignment— Maryland. The Terps, downed by Mississippi last week, will be in a nasty mood. But ‘Bama has a solid | outfit, and should give a good ac- count of itself. Michigan State and Georgia Tech, the other two major un- beaten teams, which rank 1-2 in the weekly Associatea Press poll, figure to win in a breeze against Marquette and Florida State, respectively. Mississippi ,Georgia Tech’s Sugar Bowl opponent, is idle, as is Texas, which plays Ten- nessee in the Cotton Bowl. The Vols go into action against Ken- tucky. The Big Seven and Seuthern Conference crowns both probably | will be settled. Oklahoma must | get by Nebraska to win the Big Seven and Duke has to beat North Carolina for the Southern Confer- ence championship.
