Key West Ja xx Giants Odds Are Up As The THE KEY WEST CITIZEN xk * Friday, October 1, 1954 Maryland Tests UCLA Footballers By ED WILKS Maryland and UCLA, both ranked among the nation’s top ten, open a full weekend of intersection- al tests tonight in Los Angeles, but the game that really excites the imagination of college football fans is scheduled at South Bend, Ind., tomorrow. ‘That’s where Notre Dame, still in the process of proving the ability of young Terry Brennan as head coach, lines up against Purdue, a team seldom mentioned among the nation’s best, but always “up” for the Irish. Tt was on a bright October after- noon just four years ago that the Boilermakers crushed Notre Dame's proud sneer) nine string—a performance that ma: them for special attention by Bren- nan, who made an impressive en- trance to big time coaching wMh a 21-0 victory over Texas last week. That opening success made No- tre Dame the No. 1 choice in this under way in a big way ’s game between fourth and sixth-ranked in this week's rating after an idle weekend, were easy winners over Kentucky ih their opener. The U- clans, defending champs of the Pacific Coast Conference, have scored 99 points in two starts, de- feating'San Diego Naval Training Center and Kansas. That's the only game matching teams listed in the top ten, but except for Oklahoma, rated No. 2, all the other leaders are scheduled. Two other top games tonight moved Baylor to Miami (Fla.) University and Wichita to Drake. On tomorrow’s schedule, Towa, ranked No. 4 on the basis of its ‘4-10 vietory over Michigan State last Saturday, slips away from Big 10 Conference action for what should be a breather against Montana, but Michigan State con- tinues its tough opening schedule against Wisconsin, the No. 5 team, at East Lansing. Surprising Duke, rated seventh after shutting out Penn and scoring 52 points, is at home to Tennessee, and Mississippi, No. 8, plays at Villanova. Southern California, No. 9, mixes it up with Northwestern at Evanston, Ill, in another inter- sectional match, while Penn State, an unexpected top ten member by its, upset victory over Illinois, re- Taxes at Syracuse. The Pacific Coast Conference and the Big 10, in addition to the South- ern Cal-Northwestern meeting, also collides. when Illinois plays Stan- ford at Palo Alto, Calif., and Cali- fornia travels to Ohio State. Other top intersectional contests send Washington State to play at Texas, Cornell to Rice, Georgia Tech to Southern Methodist, Army to Michigan, College ‘of the Pa- cific to Indiana and Minnesota to Pittsburgh. The Big Seven gets started on its conference championship with Towa State at Nebraska, Missouri at Kansas State and Colorado at Kansas. Other major games tomorrow: East—Brown at Yale. Navy at Dartmouth, Massachusetts at Har- vard, Colgate at Holy Cross, Ford- ham at Rutgers, William & Mary at Penn, Princeton at Columbia, Boston College at Temple.

C. H. Furneaux, J. A. Smith, D. H. Forsythe, R. C. Baugh, P. T. Thompson and C J. Queel, were the sharp sextet — the same group that recently attended the Nation- als at Camp Perry and made such a fine showing. These shooters, with the excep- tion of Forsythe, were all develop- ed on the Key West Gun Club range. Winner in the marksman class was C, H. Furneaux with 1462 out of 1800. He also won the coveted Black Memorial Trophy named in SAY IT WITH A WHISPER kkk x * a Untried Clubs Slate Battle At 8 Tonight Key West football fans will take a look tonight at some of the play- ers who will make up Conch grid squads of the future when the local junior varsity performers tangle with the Hialeah gridders at 8 o’elock. It will be a battle between two untried squads, dominated by fresh- men and sophomores. Key West will be outweighed by the visitors. Rated an event tilt, it marks the first start for both clubs. Coached by Walter Chwalik, the Conchs will lean heavily on the sin- gle wing attack used by the Key West varsity. Hialeah Coach Hal Lannon has instilled the split T system in his, gridders, with frequent shifts to the Notre Dame box. | The Conchs are also expected to fill the air with aerials tonight | with Paul Higgs, a freshman who has seen occasional service with! the varsity, doing the tossing. Higgs is also an outstanding punt- er and an inspired ballcarrier. The fullback duties will be shar- ed by Ed Washburn and Johnny Williams. The latter performer weighs but 115 pounds, but he is a hard man to stop. The balance of the backfield con- sists of Doug Allen at left half oe Cee Orapeza at quarter- ack. Hialeah’s backfield will include Joe Burns at quarterback, Eddie Gray and Bill Moss at the half- back posts and Wayne Molesworth at fullback. A large crowd is expected for to- night’s tilt.

D. H. Forsythe won the expert class with 1636 out of 1800 and R. C. Baugh won the .45 caliber timed fire match with a master score of 194 out of 200. An interesting fact concerning Mr. Baugh’s score was that it was accomplished with a service pistol and service ammu- nition. The Key West Gun Club mem- bers plan to participate in the Po- lice Range Match each month and with Billy Redburn, a sharp dark- horse, also attending in the future it looks like Coral Gables is in for a hard time. ~ Any other members interested in attending the match should contact J.

The local boys will be Dick “Biff” Salgado, now a fullback on the Miami freshman squad, and Joe Pineda, who is quarterbacking for North Carolina State. Both were members of the crack undefeated 1953 Conch squad. They received football scholarship to their respec- tive schools, Willard Cook, chairman of the Shrine Club football committee, said that he received confirmation yesterday from Roy B.

Harris Named To Lead Tigers DETROIT —Bucky Harris ‘o- day was named manager of the Detroit Tigers. He succeeds Fred Hutchinson, who resigned yester- day after refusing to accept a one year contract. * The 58-year-old Harris was re- leased as manager of the Washing- ton Senators last week. Harris managed the Tigers from 1928 to 1933. He never finished in the first division, In making the announcement, President Walter 0. Briggs Jr. of the Tigers said: “Harris comes to us highly rec- | ommended. He agreed to a one| year contract.” READ THE CITIZEN DAILY nnn You Still Have Time To Enjoy the WORLD SERIES ON TV Auld Clootie Says: This classic may well go down in \baseball annals as ‘The Case of |the Stranded Indians.” Twenty-six little Indians have been left high and dry under Coogan’s Bluff with |dusty rhodes all around them. The scene shifts today to Muni- cipal Stadium where close to nine- ty thousand rabid baseball fans will watch the helpless Indians drop their third straight. The “Big | Bear,” Mike Garcia, will be op- posed by another Latin, Reuben Gomez. The Indians stated before the series began that they feared Go- mez most of all the Giant pitch- |ers. And the experts (7) had stat- ed that of the Indians’ big three the Giants would find Garcia to be the softest touch. Auld Clootie thinks so too. But just because I agree with the experts (?) this one time please don’t place me in the | same category with them. | Superior Giant hurling and the incomparable Dusty Rhodes have | been the entire story of the World | Series thus far. The Giant slug- | gers (with the exception of “Dus- | ty,” of course) have been on vaca- | tion. Willie has yet to get a hit and besides Rhodes’ two homers | all of the hits that the Giants have | produced have been singles. | So figure it out. The Giants are | due to go on a hitting rampage. And today is the day. Mike Garcia is a fast ball pitcher and sluggers | like the Giants just love fast ball | pitchers. No pitchers battle today. | Gomez will strand more Indians and the Giants will cross home xk Gomez, Garcia — | To Take Hill In Today’s Tilt By GAYLE TALBOT CLEVELAND #—The Cleveland Indians were a poor security risk today, and they knew it. The spe-| cial train which rolled through the | night to bring manager Al Lopez’s dejected troops back to the home folks and the third game of the World Series was a very unhappy equipage. Not only were the once-proud American League champions down 24 in games to the surprising Gi- ants, but they were down as well to the third and least vaunted member of their “Big Three” pitching punch, Mike Garcia. They knew they were in bad trouble, and could only hope they were about to come out of the hitting slump which had left 26 of their number stranded on the Polo! Grounds bases the last two futile | days. As for Leo Durocher’s Giants, they came out of yesterday’s con- vincing 3-1 victory over Early Wynn dead certain they had at least an even chance of closing it out by tomorrow night. Their second pitcher, young Johnny Antonelli, had throttled the Tribe in the pinches after see- ing his first pitch knocked clear out of sight by Al Smith, Cleve- | land’s left-fielder, Today they were going with Ruben Gomez, the sad-eyed Puerto Rican screw- baller who won 17 games in his sophomore season. His teammates | firmly believe he would tie the! Indians in knots. | Seldom, surely, has a World Se-| ries seen such an abrupt and early change in fortunes. It is difficult | to realize that the Cleveland club, | winner of 111 games, opened the series only two days ago as nearly | 2-1 favorites. The failure of Lo- pez’s sluggers to hit with men on base has been incredible. Almost equally incredible had been the success of Durocher’s men in that respect. They solved Wynn, the 23-game winner, for only four hits in the second game —half as many as the Tribe socked off Antonelli. Yet only one of them | was wasted, and only three Giants died on the sacks. Antonelli pitched a gritty game, The young lefthander could have glanced at the Giants’ bullpen al- most any time during the after- noon and see at least one of his | hill mates getting ready. But at) the end the bonus kid from Ro- | chester, N.Y. still was master of every situation. Dusty ,Rhodes, the pinch-hitter | extraordinary who broke up the| opener with his dramatic 10th inn. ; ing homerun, again stuck the knife deep into the visitors. | It was Rhodes who knocked his | fellow Alabaman, Willie Mays, across with the tying run in the fifth, and put the frosting on the victory with a towering smash against the right field facade in the seventh. He’s now within one of the series record for pinch hits As it happened, Antonelli had the privilege of knocking in the win- ning run as well as blinding the Indians with his fast ball and sweeping curves every time they threatened. Johnny’s batting effort was only a force-out grounder to second-base in the big fifth, but | it was sufficient to bring Hank Thompson dashing home from third with the big run the Tribe never got back. There is little doubt the Ipdians | are being seriously handicapped by | the manifold injuries of their star third-baseman, Al Rosen. So far | Al has contributed nothing much | to his team’s attack, and he is so | stove up in one leg that his pres- | ence on the bases is more of a hindrance than help. But he has not been the only one to fail Lopez. Bobby Avila, the American League’s leading hit- ter, had punched only two singles and left two men stranded with third-outs yesterday.

The Giants’ biggest gun hadn'p{delivered anything re- sembling’*#thit. But again yester- day Willie“ played an important part im the triumph by drawing a lead-offewalk in the fifth—the first man-to-reach first off Wynn— and scoring the tying run on Rhodes’ drooping single to center. The second game did not quite equal the opener in sustained ten- sion, despite all the threats the Indians .made to knock Antonelli loose.
