THE FLORIDA NATIONAL BANK AT KEY WEST WITH BANKING FACILITIES AT KEY WEST NAVY YARD Member Federa! Deposit insurance Corporation Member Federal Rese: Member Florida National Group of Banks Lopez One Stroke Better Than Famed Golf Pro BY JACK K. BURKE Youth conquered an old master yesterday at the Key West Golf Club. Fred. Lux and Joe Lopez, Sr., both came in with lower scores than Gene Sarazen, veteran golfer of years ago. Actually, this was Gene’s first | round on this course so the match | was not officially counted. Sara- zen’s. partner, Larry Rouse, Navy pro who reported to this area only | two days ago, was in the same | fix as the master. Unofficially, the team of Lopez | and Lux defeated Sarazen and Rouse two-up in the nine hole match, which netted the March of Dimes $32.00, donated by the fans for seeing the veteran star per- form. The small gallery that followed were thrilled by the chipping and putting of all four players. Sarazen’s drives looked like those of yesteryears. His explanation of this, was that he had his shafts longer thereby giving him the add- ed yardage, making up for his age. Outside of a bogey on No. 3, Sa- razen shot a par game. Lux was one under par with two birdies to his credit. The first came on No, 4 aad the next on No. 5, both made by stellar putts. Joe Lopez sank the putt of the day on No. 9. Lying on the left side of the green, 20 feet away on a slight downhill lie, Joe took one look and played the ball right in the middle of the cup for a birdie, which sealed the match. The other three parred the hole. Many of Sarazen’s friends were on hand to see the veteran per- former. Several vacationists drove down from Miami to witness the once-feared man, again in action. At the 19th hole, several of the Key West golfers asked Gene what He thought of the local course. He stated, “If you fellows had nine more holes, a lot more tour- ists would come here.” “You know,” he continued, “golf is the biggest drawing card of any sport to any tourist town. Just take a look at Miami and West Coast of Victiia Siang Saw s08. SERS 2 mean.” His statement is true, for many, years ago, golf courses were all over the Miami Beach and real estate property near them was high. Now, since the courses have been forced to go elsewhere so go the northern visitors. Gene also added in good nature, “If you fellows expect to get Pre- sident Eisenhower down here, you'd better build those additional nine holes.” All the local players were in accord with the man that has seen the majority of the cours- es in the country. The question of which was the toughest course in the country at the present time, Gene said, ““Oak- mont in Pittsburgh, Pa., is the only one. I'll bet you all that no pro will break 290 in the next tournament that is held there.” In that affair, all the top flight pros of the nation will be on hand. When asked who was the best between Ben Hogan or Sam Snead, the master answered, “‘Hogan is the steadier of the two, while Sam plays the percentages.”’ One remark made by Sarazen made the gallery laugh. He said that when he went to the Senior Tournament this year, his first xk kk Key West High School Cases In Top Shape For Tilt Here Tonight The Key West High |School basketball squad will |tackle the Redlands five to- night on the high school hardwood in a battle which will mark the second meet- ing of the clubs this season. The Conchs captured the first game earlier in the campaign by a slim 37-34 margin and since then both clubs have shown consider- able improvement and_to- night a stiff test is shaping up for both combinations: The teams will be battling for a favored spot in the coming seed- ings for the District Seven cage tourney which will get underway in March. Under the pairing plan in that tournament, the clubs with the best standings throughout the regular season are given the favor- ed spots in the district runoff. Last year the Conchs were whip- ped in the finals of the District play by the same Redlands five that they will face tonight and the visitors went on to reach the semi- finals in the state cage tourney. The Conchs will be in top shape tonight for the clash following a bout with the flu bug which riddled their ranks although they managed to gain an impressive win over Saint Mary’s here last Saturday night. Lucy Gonzalez will be making his final start tonight in Conch span- gles since his eligibility has run out. The classy forward will be sorely missed both for his point- making and sterling defensive play. Forward Jimmy Solomon, ‘the rath cae footer on the squad is a lou! starter tonight following a bout with the fhu., Coach Win Jones will"bank on a starting five made up of Glynn Archer, Stu Logun, Bob Sawye Dick Salgado and Gonzalez.) The Conchs will bank on their fast break and air-tight defensive play in their fight to come up with a win tonight. Never, in the four year series with the Redlands cagers, has either team captured a verdict by more than eight points.

Meeting golfers that he had played against 25 years ago was something -of a thrill to the man who at one time held, and still does, records that will never be broken, at least not by the pro’s that play the rounds today. At his departing from the club- house, all in attendance wished him the best of luck in the tourna- ment he has entered this year, and thanked him for the qwonderful afternoon, Gene departed today for Augus- ta, Ga., where he is practicing for since he is past the age 50, he| the Masters to be held there.

BURKE Beverly Hanson 1s the most un- inhibited girl in the world. She’s Breezy Bev. She’s a one-woman variety show. She’s an unpredic-! table zany. All of that and other nicknames and descriptions have been given | by enthusiastic writers to Bev be- cause of her sparkling personality thot is based on keen intelligence and a rich sense of ‘humor. Bev is a willowy blonde, five feet, eight and one-nalf inches tall, weighs 130, has been and could be a model any day for any type of clothes. She has blue eyes and always wears attractive horn-rim- med glasses for nearsightedness -- “TI can’t see 50 feet without them!” Her principal hobby is being with and having a good time with people, and the more: the better. She’s a baseball fan and a card sharp in bridge and canasta. Bev’s a good pianist and often has accompanied her brother Gor- don, a singer, on the piano ‘and when we're home together, the place jumps!” She also can per- form on the trap drums. ‘Once we had a little girls’ swing band, but that was quickly put asunder by unanimous vote of the family } and neighbors.” In. high school she wanted to play “something” in the orches- tra, so she learned to play the bassoon in three weeks. She, forth- with, joined the orchestra and eventually became so’ proficient that she was bassoonist for the | ~ Fargo Civic Orchestra. Bev can speak French fluently, having studied it~as her minor in college days. This talent sometimes leads to looks of bewilderment on caddies and galleryites when Bev, after missing a cinch putt, sounds off vociferously in French. And Bey likes dogs, particularly, “Mr. Chips,’ a miniature French Three Spots Open For Gator Cagers GAINESVILLE (#—The Univer- sity of Florida Southeastern Con- ference baseball champions open their 23-game season March 14, but there are three personnel va- cancies.

After Only 5 Minutes Rest In a recent test, a stock Hester Battery was deliberately discharged by engaging the starter on a car, with the switch off, until the battery refused to turn the engine over. The battery was allowed to rest for 5 minutes, the car was then started and the engine stopped immediately. This operation was repeated 803 times before the battery failed. 12 Mos., 39 Plate, 80 Amp.
