_ Key West Jayvees Gain Second Straight Win Over Typhoons Locals Keep Unscored On . Record Sat. The Key West High School Jay Vee football team racked up its second victory | of the campaign Saturday when they pounded out an impressive 25-0 decision ov- er the Miami Beach junior varsity at the high school field before more than a thousand fans. It marked the second straight game in which they held the opposition scoreless after a 19-0 triumph over Hialeah~here last week. The battle was virtually even throughout the _first half with Key West going into a 6-0 lead before the Typhoons could manage to stop their attack. For the second straight week, it was tailback Paul Higgs and 115 pound fullback Johnny Williams who paced the Conch assault. Higgs ran for two touchdowns and tossed-a pass for two others. His pass to Earl Weech for the extra point after their final score touchdown, wound up the scoring for the evening.’ : Williams, who makes up for his lack of brawn with fight, consis- tntly fought his way to substantial gains throughout the evening. Key West gained their first score’ early in the opening period when Higgs passed to end Earl Weech on the Typhoon 38. Weech outdis- tanced the Miami Beach secondary and went all the way standing up. Key West could manage no fur- ther scoring in the first half but they drew blood shortly after the kickoff for the second half. This time it was Higgs again. He went around end, faked the secondary and went over standing up. The try for the point was no good. End Wayne Albury latched onto a pass from for the third Key West TD. The locals’ fourth score came whén Higgs bulled ov- er from the seven yard line: Weech caught another Higgs pass for the extra point to end up the at 25 - 0. Halfback Danny Oropeza played a good game while Louis Chancey, Martin Frantz and Bill Rojas shone in the line on defense. Next game for Coach Walter Chwalik’s Jayvees will be on Octo: ber 23, when they meet the Miami Tech aggregation.

Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (®#—Sugar Ray Rob- inson, who retired as middleweight champion nearly two years ago to} launch a new career as a tap dancer, has announced that he will gradually begin training today with a view to taking up his old trade | again. Says that, despite all his| real estate holdings in Harlem, he | finds himself short of spending | money. | If it were anybody except the} 34 - year - old Sugar Boy talking, this would be the most exciting pugilistic news of the week. A match between him and the cur- rent 160-pound king, Bobo Olson, | still would draw well into six fig- ures. But it was never possible to know whether this great ring ar- tist was talking straight or just talking, and it isn’t now. Up to within a few days of his retirement, Robinson continued to insist that he intended to defend his title against Randy Turpin of England.

WAUKESHA, Wis. — “The ball,” said the field announcer at a foot- ball game here, “is on the 23-yard line.” Haertel Field, where Carroll Col- lege and Waukesha High School play their home games, there are lines every yard instead of just at the usual five-yard intervals. The idea was that of John Lockney, a Waukesha football fan who- got tir- ed of listening to announcers’ esti- mates. His plan, in use here at all games, has earned unanimous | praise. To mark the lines, Lockney uses a five-yard metal plate with slits |one-yard apart. His marks do not run clear across the playing field.

Patterson Favored By MURRAY ROSE Floyd Patterson, the Brooklyn 19-year-old who showed real punch- ing power in his last start, is | picked to claim his third straight | victory tonight at the expense of |San Francisco’s’ Esau Ferdinand | at New York’s St. Nicholas Arena.

The feeling here was that some- thing broke in Robinson on that terribly hot night two summers ago when Joey Maxim, the then light heavyweight champion, beat him into a babbling wreck. We felt then that he would not enter the ring again, that he had taken the only bad beating he intended ever to take. It still goes. Another former fighter turned | thespian, Lou Nova, has been in our midst lately between night club engagements, and he’s still as full of ideas he was a dozen years ago when he was inventing his famous “cosmic” punch. Lou’s latest ob- session is that boxers should do all their prefight training after dark. “They fight after dark, don’t they?” demanded the former heavyweight contender. \Citizen Ads Bring Results f |rounds because you have to be 20 | to go 10 in New York state.

Jim Harris took over for Ca- lame and the sophomore substitute made his gloomy coaches eyes light up. Harris’ passing was a revelation and he'll be heard from in the future. The rest of the Notre Dame schedule is loaded with booby traps and the only hope the Irish have of coming out on top as the experts predicted in the preseason Associated Press poll is to sail through their opposition and for the Sooners to be upended at least once. Notre Dame was impressive in S$ 33-0 victory over Pitt. The vic- tory showed that Brennan and his crew were capable of rebounding after a humiliation. That’s @ good sign, but the Irish still have to tackle Michigan State and Navy in the next two weeks. ~ At the moment, UCLA and Wis- consin are Oklahoma’s chief rivals for national honors.
