9 Blue Devils Gain 19-7 Win Over Golden Rams In Barefoot League More Than 1,000 Fans See Exciting Tilt At Wickers The Blue Devils downed the Golden Rams last night before more than a thousand fans at the Stadium in a Barefoot League encounter. The score| was 18-7. | The win marked the Dev-} ils first after they had batt- led to a tie on two different occasions against the Rams. The game was marked by hard play in the line along with a goodly sprinkling of razzle-dazzle which had the fans in an uproar. “These kids really play football” was the comment of the fans as they left the park. More than one football through the Quarterback early lead in the first quarter after an inspired drive from their own ‘91 yard line all the way down to the Golden Ram two yard line. Quarterback Dorris Yates made the score when he scampered off ratst ifn a save the score. Dorris Yates then split the goal posts with a perfect kick— the first point after touchdown that has been! kicked by a Key West team in two} ars, we'll wager. "the Devils added thelr final score when they fought down to the 20 and Doug Allen took a pitchout _ and scored standing up to make it! 19-0. But the Rams were still in the ballgame — they put up an. tin- spired fight which resulted in their only score in the waning moments of the battle. After an exchange of fumbles, the Rams took possession on the Devil’s 20 yard line and fought down to thé 10. A time honored statue of liberty play took them down to the five. At this point, a Penalty aided their cause. With the clock running out, Paul Higgs faded back and found thle receiver In the end zone. He uncorked a picture book pass and Bob McKinney gathered it in the end zone to make it 19-6. Higgs got off a perfect kick to make it 19-7, The end of the game found the two teams battling it out at midfield. Coach Glynn Archer of the Blue Devils named tailback Jim Wil- Nams, end Herbie Quesada, back Bill Rojas and Eddie Solomon as his standouts. Pint sized center Enrique Este- vez also came in for plaudits, Coach Don Walston of the Rams it some good football out of Paul iggs, Harold Cates, Bob Carni- wal, Al Lopez and Ernie Knowles. Coach Ray Blais, who is handling the overall for having instilled the principles ef the game into the youngsters from the 8th and 9th grades at the High School.

Nuts,” shouted the doc- tor as he stomped out. “Fellows, it wasn’t any cold,” said Kantor to boxing writers, “He was in good shape. He just had heavy legs.” Dowd, who had remained in the room, walked to the co-managers and talked to them a few minutes before he walked out. Then the word came that Lang- lois’ purse had been held up and a hearing set for Monday morning. Asked if this report was true, Bretonnel shook his head sadly. “Yes, it is big mistake. He was in fine condition.” In sharp contrast with the sell- out crowd at Wednesday’s Bobo Olson-Randy Turpin title match, only a small crowd, estimated at 2,500 paying $5,000, saw the na- tionally televised bout. The body punching Panter from Salt Lake City took the votes of the judges, Artie Aidala and Har- old Bares, 5-4-1. Referee Ray Mil- ler had Langlois on top 5-4-1, The AP card was 5-5. Langlois who weighed 157% was a 1 to 3 favorite over Panter, 159. It was a sad day for La Belle France. Charles Humez had been of Bayonne, N. J., at Paris in the afternoon, Panter wants Durando next.
