Conchs Suffer Letdown After Miami Beach Loss Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, ovember % Top Field Set Sports Drills Show Jayvees Are Strong Tues. The big problem facing Key West High School foot- ball coach Ed Beckman as| their first big intersectional tilt with tough Jackson, | Tenn., eleven is firing up his charges to the point where they'll want to tear their opponents apart come Friday night. It was evident in yesterday's drill sessions that the Conchs have suffered an understandable let- down after their protracted (15 game) win streak was snapped last Saturday by an inspired Mi- ami Beach Typhoon eleven. The Conchs showed some fire fn Monday’s workout but yester- day saw the JayVees rip off large gains and actually score two touch- downs against the varsity in their scrimmage session. The Conchs were working on kicking under pressure, first punt- ing and then running three plays from scrimmage, and then punting again. Three members of the second string showed in the drills that they'll give some of the varsity battles for their positions come Friday evening. . Stuart Yates, in particular, a rangy wingback has finally come into his own as a ground gainer. for, Yates has come along steadily, gaining confidence and poise to match his speed. And end Earl Weech snagged a TD pass yesterday to indicate that he'll be valuable to the Conchs in the future. Norman Allen, a halfback who has been plagued with a knee in- jury, carried the ball in the scrim- mage session yesterday to ad- vantage. Meanwhile, the possibility loom- ed that the Conchs may not be at top strength for the Jackson clash. Red Stickney is still suffer- ing from the effects of a neck in- jury incurred in the Beach game; Bill Haney has a stiff shoulder and Gene Favors has a bruised hip. These boys saw but limited action in yesterday's scrimmage, The Conchs will have to cope with something new in offensive tactics, namely the Tennessee single wing — a variation of their own ground gaining formation run from behind a balanced line. Jackson eleven is slated to ar- rive in Key West by bus Thursday and will hold a workout at the high school stadium tomorrow night. Garth Panter Makes Title Bid Tonight RICHMOND, Calif. «#—Garth Panter, whose only ring finesse is to bore in and keep swinging, faces the slightly Herculean job tonight of trying to beat the world middleweight champion, Carl (Bo- bo) Olson, The 10-round nontitle clash will be nationally televised by CBS. It icheduled for 10 p.m., EST. ‘This will be Olson's tuneup fight for his title defense against Joey Giardello in a 15-rounder at the San Francisco Cow Palace Dec. 15. The champ, who never takes an opponent lightly, is expected to set @ fast pace, It will be his second meeting with Panter. Olson won a 10-round decision in Butte early Jast year and from all accounts had a tough battle on his hands. Panter is a 24-year-old ironwork- er now fighting out of Salt Lake City.

Washburn, is or has been a resident of the U.S.S.R.

Today, Tech has a 6-0 record among the small colleges. It’s play- ing a de-emphasized schedule, has been since the early 40s and has no intention of trying to become “big time” again. The administration and the foot- ball coaching staff are of one mind on that. Dr. J. C. Warner, Tech presi- dent, has repeatedly said his school is more interested in providing a good education than in big time football teams. Dr. Eddie Baker, the 45-year-old dentist who has been coach at Tech for several years, says the Tech program suits him just fine. “Everyone is happy at Tech as far as football is concerned,” grin- ned Baker who has a full-fledged dental practice. “This is a wonder- ful place to be a coach. Don't think, though, that we don’t try to win them all.” Baker, who played a lot of quar- terback for Pitt under the late Dr. John B. (Jock) Sutherland, has seen plenty of so-called high pres- sure football. Through the years, whenever a vacancy arose at Pitt, the name of Baker has been mentioned. But Eddie goes on tutoring at Tech with a coaching staff made up of part-time assistants. “I guess our combined salaries wouldn't touch the salary of a head coach in one of the ‘big time’ schools,” said Baker. who failed to compete in either| | ated on back in 1951.

Three years later Tech upset a Banassa is owned by Julien De- erion, Paris and Morocco planta- tion, vineyard and orange orchard owner, and the filly is ridden by 35-year-old Claude Lalanne.

And in 1926 jcame a game which gained nation- al attention. A strong Notre Dame |team scheduled its first game in history with Tech here and the Tartans promptly upset the Irish, 19-0, the only blemish on their sea- son record. In 1938 Tech was still on the} high road with a team which won} {the Lambert Trophy, emblematic of the Eastern Intercollegiate foot- | ball championship. But in a few years the high/ cost of fielding a top notch team | began to tell. Tech didn’t have a! |big stadium. So, the administra- tion announced a de-emphasis pro- | gram and made it stick. | Baker came on the scene near’ the end of the “good old days” as | an assistant coach. Prior to that he had been an assistant at Pitt | In 1940-42 Baker was head coach {at Tech, winning seven of 22) games. Then came a tour of Navy duty and after that two years as jhead football coach at Shadyside Academy. In 1949 it was back to Tech on a part-time basis. Since then and up to the start of this season Baker's teams had a 26-12-1 mark. The only hurdle to an unbeaien season—something that hasn't hap- | | pened before at Tech — are Wash- jington & Jefferson, to be played }next Saturday, and Lehigh the week after.

Those who |play for money t maintain a reputation and oft-talked about de- fensive stars are rare. But Sunday, when defensive end | Sonny Gandee was injured against the Los Angeles Rams, Hart was sent in to replace him. Tt was early in the second period | when big Leon, who stands 6-feet-5 |and weighs 255. committed a bit | of lareeny that Coach Buddy Park- er went for $25 worth. Hart was rushing in the back- field. Norm Van Brooklin had the ball when Leon, all arms at the j time, swiped it from him, turned and ran 22 yards for the touchdown ‘that put Detroit ahead 17-14 for ‘Hart Makse Grade On Defense |the first time in the game. The } Lions finally won, 27-24 | A few days ago Parker had fined | Hart $25 for missing dinner at the Lions’ pregame camp in Pasadena. | Following the game he yelled at | Hart | “Hey, Leon, you can forget about that dough. We are rescinding that fine after the great game.” Parker, who is used to great games, knows what it takes to keep his ball club on top of the National Football League standings—as they are now a tie with the San Francisco 49ers. Since Parker has coached the Lions beginning with the 1951 sea- son, he has never lost more than one game at a time. They have held the NFL championship since | 1952 and Parker appears ready to |help himself again this season. Parker, who usually has little to say, is a master at picking talent— and utilizing it.
