Conch Cagers Clobber Redlands In Opener, 37-34 | Stu Logun Nets 16 Points In Impressive Conch Win Key West High School's fighting Conch basketball aggregation opened the 1952-53 season last night in Redlands in fine fashion when they took the measure of that club, 37-34 in a hard fought, nip and tuck contest. The loss was the first for the Redlands club who won last week, capturing a win over Miami Beach high school, Guard Stu Logun was the spark last night when he netted 16- points to lead the Conchs to victory over their traditional rivals up the Keys. : After a shaky start, in which} the perennial Conch _ shooting) trouble appeared, the Key Westers | came to life and fashioned a one | point lead which was stretched by | a field goal by Glynn Arcuer for insurance as the whistle blew to end the contest. Never througlout the game were the two clubs separated by more than five points. However, the! Conchs were limited to one field goal in the initial quarter when they had trouble hitting the mesh- | es. The ballgame opened up in | furious fa: in with Rediands owning a 9-6 lead at the end of the first period. The Key West ball handling and playmaking at | this point was superb, with the Conchs consistently moving the | ball down under the basket but | being unable to click in the scor- | ing department. But the Conchs came back in the second period tc close the | gap and the halftime founu them | the owners of a one point mar- | gin, 18-17, | However, in the third quarter, Redlands turned on the steam and pulled out in front by a five point margin. In the hectic fourth quarter, Key West tightened up defensively and | began to click in the scoring de- partment from the outside. With the score knotted Redland’s Allen Underwood, who paced them throughout, hit with a pair of foul shots and the Conchs came back with a score to make the score 35-34 with but 13-seconds to go in the ballgame. At this point Glynn Archer took a pass under the basket and tipped it in as the final whistle sounded. Logun, who iy playing his second year of basketball for the Conchs, was hitting the meshes consistently from the outsid Coach Win Jones also had rea- son for rejoicing on the work of Julio Henricuez, Jimmy Solomon, Bob Sawyer, John Carbonell and Gibby Gates. Lucy Gonzalez was the out- standing floer man for the Conchs when he set up the Conch plays throughout ‘he contest. -Henriquez and Archer did some nice feeding from the pivot tion while Carbonell. did yeoman service in the rebound department where he used his height to ad- vantage. The two clubs were about equal in height and experience. Jones will intensify his drills this week in an effort to improve their shoot- ing ability in preparation for a meeting with the tough Homestead five next Tuesday. COLOR LINE WAVERS posi- Churchill’s Soft Answer Causes Opposition Wrath LONDON «#—A soft answer from Prime Minister Churchill turned |the opposition to wrath — or a parliamentary facsimile thereof— last night. $ Laborite Member of Parliament Harold Davies protested that he was unable to hear Churchill’s an- |swer to a question. The speaker suggested the 78-year-old Prime | Minister repeat his reply. Churchill spoke even more softly. Herbert Morrison, deputy Labor- ite leader jumped up to ask if, it were in order for the Prime Min- ister deliberately to use a voice that could no. be heard. Amid smiles from the House, the speaker said he knew of no precedent. When Davies asked another ques- tion, Churchill let loose with a voice that resembled a lion’s roar. Labor- ite John Rankin then complained that Churchill was defying the chair. A The matter rested when the speaker said he could not say whether it was covered by the rules of order. P. O.

NEW YORK ® — The nation’s sports writers and broadcasters gave a shaky vote of confidence to the National Collegiate A. A. Program of controlled football tele- vision today, but remained very doubtful about what course should be followed in the future. Two questions concerning tele vision were included in the Asso- ciated Press post-season question- naire about developments in the just-ended football campaign. One was: “Did the NCAA’s restricted TV program have any effect on should be?” A comfortable majority of the experts who replied answered ‘‘no” to the first query although some said it with reservations. Most of the others who saw some effects still were hurt by the televising of big college games. Only a few thought the game-a-week restric- tion had improved attendance any- where or had prevented declines. It was when the experts came to the second question that the fur, the words aad the sugges‘ions be- gan .o fly. About four out of every five replies favored restrictions and controls of some sort. About 50 ballots, roughly one third of the total, put an okeh stamp on the 1952 program and suggested continuing it for another year. About 35 favored putting controls on a regional basis. Another 30 ballots proposed throwing: football television wide open either on a one-year trial basis or permanently. A number of observers favored broadening the present NCAA pro- gram to put several games on the air each week, either nationally or regionally. Other suggestions included a complete ban on TV, limiting TV to sellout games or delayed mid - week showings of ers already are hiring the first of | tims, blacking out the immediate area of a big gaine and limiting telecasts to the immediate area. The popularity of such big games as Oklahoma-Notre Dame, Georgia Tech-Alabama and Southern Cali- fornia-UCLA with the televiewers was undisputed, but there was con- siderable debate as to what effect day delivery system he made ef- fective in 1950, along with other service cuts, Deliveries, says Donaldson, will | be made as often as necessary to | keep the mail moving.

Yacht May Be Of Little Use To Eisenhower By DON WHITEHEAD ABOARD USS HELENA, En Route to Hawaii (#—It looks as if President-elect Dwight Eisenhow- er’s passion for golf, fresh-water fishing and frugality in government will leave no place for the ocean- | going yacht, the Williamsburg, as a presidential retreat in the next four years. The chances are, friends say, that Eisenhower will try to find a mountain retreat somewhere near Washington—one with a small golf course — as his hideaway. from White House duties. And they say his plans rule out the Williamsburg not only as being too expensive a luxury but one not suited to his ideas of recreation. The ideal summer White House in Ike’s book would be a mountain retreat at about 2,500 feet altitude, not too far from Washington. Good fishing water would be a must and also the golf course. It would have to be elose to the White. House because Ike might want to sneak away on Fridays and not return until Sunday night. Some say he has thought that maybe former President Herbert Hoover's old retreat at Rapidan, Va., might fill the bill—or some place similar. He doesn’t want anything fancy. President Truman preferred Key | West for his vacations and he liked jto have the Williamsburg around for week-end cruises from time to | time. The Williamsburg has a crew of ‘more than 100 and like all yachts it costs a lot to run. Nobody knows just how much, because in govern- }ment bookkeeping it's a training ship for the Navy. The yacht was sold to the govern- bout with veteran Fitzie Pruden. Davey is a topheavy favorite. A sellout crowd of 13,000 is forecast. The 26-year-old Davey expects to get a title bout early next year with welterweight champion Kid Gavilan. Pruden, a slugger from Canada who now fights out of Paterson, N. J., boasts a record of 56 vic- tories in 65 fights. Davey, now on leave from his English teaching job at fichigan State, is a big favorite with tele- vision audiences. His technical knockout victory over former lightweight champion Ike Williams, his two defeats of Chico Vejar and ais more recent conquest of exmiddleweight titlist Rocky Graziano all went fre> to the TV boxing fans.

Gators Start Cage Campaign Tonight ATLANTA (%—The University of Florida has hit the jackpot in sign- ing Georgia prep grid stars. Seven Georgians, five of them from Georgia Military Academy’s Mid - South championship team, signed yesterday with Coach Bob Woodruff’s Gators. They are Ted Stamm, 6-1, 195- pound end; Bill Chumber, 6-1, 195- pound tackle; Bud Theodocion, 6-0, 210-pound guard; John Barrow, 6-2, 200-pound end, and 6-1, 185- pound quarterback Lee Hale, all of GMA; and Bob Wall, Americus’ leading ground gainer, and Glynn Academy quarterback Jimmy Thompson.

Larry Osborne, 6-2, 200-pound fullback from Atlanta’s West Ful- ton High School, decided on Au- burn, By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK —A pair of the nation’s more prominent football teams, Notre Dame anc Syracuse, are being accused right and left of sharp practice in using quick, unexpected backfield shifts at crucial moments of their games to draw the opposition offside and thus benefit by a five-yard penalty. Notre Dame emproyec me tactic with telling effect in its upsets of Oklahoma and Southert California, each time setting up a score with a first down inside its opponent’s 10. Millions of televiewers, among others, saw it work egainst Okla- homa. Syracuse used ..s own var- iation, a sort of quarterback shift, in defeating Fordham in its final game and winning a bid to the Orange Bowl. Nobody accuses either the Irish or Syracuse of breaking a rule, exactly, but there is a wivespread feeling that they gave the spirit of the game a rather thorough going-over, ard it is taken for granted that the rules committee will slam the gate on then before another season comes around. The current rule says, in part: “No player of the offensive team shall make a false start. A false start includes a shift which simu- lates a play; feigning a charge, or the use of unusual variations in starting signals.” What Notre Dame did, as you might have seen, was shift sudden- ly from the “T” to its od box formation. It drew a v: b's off- side penalty against both the S>on- ers and the Trojans, « “1 the ball was not snapped. Uoa Jusse Hill of Southern Cal declar’d that “the play is designed solely to draw the defense offside.” In the Syracuse version, as we have had it explained. tae Orange quarterback, after stooping behind his center, ‘rises abruptiy and makes a motion with his urm, as though pitching the ball cut and back. As one may imagine, this causes several tensed-up linemen to jump as though stung. Coach Ed Darowski of Fordham haa this to say about the maneuver: “It’s up to the officials to decide whether it’s legal or not. I can’t do anything about it. But there’s no question that it is intended to pull a team offside. It should be barred.” On the other hand, Ben Schwartz- walder, the Syracuse mentor, de- fended the move vigorously, saying that it was designed solely to put an occasional check on an oppos- Marciano To Get Boxing Writers Award By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK ® — Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano and George Barton, president of the National Boxing Associatiun, today were chosen to receive the Boxing Writers Association’s two main trophies, the Edward J.

Pirates Talk About New Gen: Manager Now By JOHN MOODY PITTSBURGH ® — Pittsburg Pirate fans will give you odds te day that Fred Haney will be the next Pirate manager. General Manager Branch Rickey say8 nothing's sure but ae called Haney here for a talk tomorrow. Haney, manager of the Holly- wood Stars of the Pacific Coast League for the past four years, has been considered « strong com- tender for the post ever since Billy Meyer resigned at the end of last season. Rickey said Haney .is flying to Pittsburgh from his California home to ‘discuss the possibilit; of his taking over the reins of the National League — cellar-dwelling Pirates. But the Mahatma added: “I can’t honestly tell whether 1 will name him manager or not, There are several things dependent on the decision, the main one being if he really wants to become the Pirate manager. “Another factor ccncerns his health. He must decide whether he is well enough to tangle with a difficult job.” The fans and Rickey alike agree that taking over the Pirates will have its dark days. The club fin- ished seventh in 1951 and last this year. Rickey has been recruiting young inexperienced ballplayers, but has promised the Pittsburgh fans a pennant contender within a few years. The fans will expect the new manager to come through on that promise. When Billy Meyer stepped down last season because of failing health, he admitted the youngsters still need a lot of seasoning, but predicted Rickey is building a “great” ball club. Haney has piloted the stars to two Pacific Coast League pennants —1949 and 1952.
