They began their trek to Florida on) Tuesday by bus and stopped off en- route in Daytona Beach and in Homestead for drill session. According to their coach, they are in top shape for the clash. Chief scoring threats are Bobby Castleman, a quarterback with a dangerous passing arm; halfbacks Corky Carmen and Ray Powell, both accomplished runners and hefty Alby Arnette, a fullback with plenty of drive. Meanwhile the Conchs are chaf- ing under a rsh of injuries that will keep two boys out of the ballgame and lessen the effectiveness of sev- eral more. Among the missing will be guard Roxy Albury (an appendectomy) and tackle Nilo Acevedo (a knee injury).
