ae A’s Transfer Conchs Slate Heavy Drills To fem% Snap South Broward Jinx Fri. Offense Stressed As Conchs Seek To End Rash Of Broward Ties By JIM COBB Citizen Sports Editor The Key West High School football team will at- tempt Friday night to do what no Red and White gridiron aggregation has managed in three years of spirited rivalry — pin a de-| feat on the South Broward Bulldogs. It was on November 16, 1951 that the Bulldogs stung | the Conchs in a rough-house, 33-2 ballgame. Then, on Nov, 15, 1952 when they met again, the Conchs held a 120 lead at the halftime, but they couldn’t make it stick and the Bull- gs roared back to tie it up in < second half. The Conchs lost their win when they fumbled on the Broward one yard line with sec- onds to play. Final Score? Bulldogs 12 Conchs 12. Last year, on Nov. 13, 1953 to be exact, the Conchs journeyed to Hol- lywood and the result was another tie, this time 7-7. The Bulldogs led the ballgame 7-0 with just 2 min. utes and 20 seconds to play when the Conchs Dick Salgado plunged over for a TD. Then, Joe Pineda passed to Ralph White for the point to save the day for the Conchs. Both of these boys have gone on to better things, but there are a host of Conch performers who are itching to beat the Bulldogs and Friday night is their chance. South Broward is just as anxious. Here is what one member of their camp was quoted as saying after their 13-12 conquest of South Dade the other night: ‘The Key West Conchs may not know it, but they May have a bunch of wild Bull- dogs on their hands next Friday, This intelligence was put forth in the Bulldog dressing room with the chant ‘we want Key West” being sounded in the background. Yes, the Bulldogs are ready, at} least mentally, for the Conchs, It promises to be some ballgame. It’s supposed to be a building year for the Browards, but they have come along steadily and pose a real threat to the Conchs’ hopes for the start of another protracted winning streak. They have the Conchs well scout- ed and as a result fans may see some of the Key West's outside stuff that hasn’t been used much thus far in the season. They did use a few reverses against Jack- son Friday and they met with con Arkansas Rated Cinderella Team Marge Guthrie ‘Tops Bowlers | Marge Guthrie, of the Sigsbee! | Snackery, rolled the high game this | week in the Navy Wives Bowling | League with a snappy 206, Second was Jane Grenuck, of the | Same team, with 192.

Ignored in preseason forecasts, |the Razorbacks today rode their | lofty perch atop the tough South- |west Conference and needed only one more victory to wrap up their first crown in 18 years. In September, the talk was ail Texas, Rice and Baylor. Bowden Wyatt and his young team were regarded as being a year away from anything even resembling success, Texas, in fact, was tabbed as the most overwhelming favorite in 40 years to win the conference cham- pionship. When Arkansas whipped Texas in its fourth game of the season, the Razorbacks tabbed themselves as definite tithe threats. Now they need no more than a tie against Southern Methodist, itself a sur- prise power, his week to win the championship, They beat Rice 28.15 Saturday. The Razorbacks have sailed through seven foes and, with three still to go, are one of the five undefeated, untied major teams :n the country. If they get past SMU, they should coast the rest of the way against Louisiana State and Houston. For the other powers among the unbeatens, the road is becoming easier, although not completely clear, UCLA, the No. 1 team in the weekly Associated Press poll, has only one more game to play.

By ORLO ROBERTSON The Associated Press Commissioner Bert Bell couldn't have done a better job if he had waited until today to make up next Sunday’s National Football League schedule. The New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles are tied for the Eastern Division lead, each with 5-2 records. They meet Sun- day at New York’s Polo Grounds. The champion Detroit Lions lead | the second-place San Francisco 49ers by a game in the won-lost column, They clash Sunday at De- troit with the Lions seeking to square accounts for the season. The champions’ only setback was a 37-31 beating by the 49ers at Frisco. They have won five, The 49ers are 4-2 with one tie. The two naturals were set up when the Giants knocked the Pitts- burgh Steelers out of a three-way tie for the top spot in the Eastern section 30-6 and the Eagles downed the Chicago Cardinals 30-14. The Lions rode roughshod over the Baltimore Colts 27-3 Saturday night and the 49ers dropped a 42-4 de- cision to the Los Angeles Rams, At the same time the Cleveland Junior Conchs Nip The Cuban Club The Junior Conchs won their six-, th straight Island City Winter base- ball league encounter Sunday when they defeated the Cuban Club, 7-5, in the Wickers Field Stadium, George Lastres hurled for the Junior Conchs, allowing five hits while fanning 12 men and walking the same number, Bob Lastres pitched for the Cu- ban Club and gave up but six hits. Gibby Gates, of the Junior Con- chs, had a perfect day at the plate with three hits including a triple. Knowles had a triple and Eloy Rodriguez a double.

Junior Conchs Cuban Club USS Bushnell Poinciana Giants Mays Shines In Puerto Rican Ball SAN JUAN # — Willie Mays, who led the National League in batting last season with a .345 av- erage, is showing signs that he plans to do the same in the Puerto Rican Winter League, where he is playing with the Santurce club. The New York Giants’ center- fielder sports a .640 average after 14 games. He didn’t get his first homer until yesterday off Brook- lyn’s Tom Lasorda, but he leads the league in triples, 3; doubles 6; runs, 18; and total hits, 28, Visible light rays are from one 40,000th to one 70,000th of an inch 6 3 3 ° 'Giant-Eagle Clash Sunday | Will Decide Nat’l Loop Lead Browns, who with the Lions have played one less game than the re- mainder of the clubs, kept right at the ‘eaders’ heels with a 62-3| lromp over the Washington Red- skins. The victory left the Browns, | defending Eastern champions, with ja 42 mark. The Chicago Bears | edged the Green Bay Packers 28-23 in the other game. The ease with which the Giants | knocked off the Steelers came as the big surprise of the day al-| |though the Rams’ win over the |49ers was not what the experts, expected. They had tied 24-24 ear-| lier in the season. But without a doubt the 49ers missed the injured Hugh McElhenny yesterday as they slowed down after scoring 17 points | in the first period. | The Giants, rebounding from | |their defeat by Cleveland, picked |up two points early in the game on a safety and never let up the pressure. Chuck Conerly, exploit- | ing Pittsburgh’s weak defense to the fullest, tossed three touchdown | |passes, and Eddie Price, who | Tipped off yardage by the chunks, | | went over from the two for the other. Conerly completed 13 out, jot 20 aerials. OUTBOARD ROUNDUP ‘By DAVID NASON Rough weather over the past sev- eral weeks has just about reduced outboarding to the talking stage.

Seen Today NEW YORK w—Despite opposi- tion from Detroit and Washington, the American League was expected to approve the transfer of the Phil- | Adelphia franchise to Kansas City , today at a special meeting of club | owners and executives. Cleveland held the ace card, and as early as this morning both fac- ons were trying to win the In- dians over. Six votes are needed to complete the transfer. New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Boston and, of course, Philadelphia favor the move. i The Indians voted for the original | plan to move to Kansas City last month and nothing has happened that might change their minds. General Manager Hank Green-| berg of the Indians said his club would not make up its mind until| the last moment | “We want to sit down and talk over what's best for the league,” | he said. “Only then will we make! up our minds.” | Possibly the one point that would | sway the Indians to the “ap-/ proval” group was the endorse- | ment of Arnold Johnson, the would be purchaser, by Commissioner; Ford Frick. President Clark Grif-| fith of Washington objected to/ Johnson owning the A’s and the! Yankee Stadium. | “I don’t see anything wrong with | Johnson retaining ownership of the} Yankee Stadium and leasing it to} the Yankees,” said Frick. “Of| course, he can have nothing to do} with the Yankees and the lease | must be passed by the American League and the commissioner's of- fice. “There are other conditions | which will have to be met and/ Mr. Harridge (American League} President William Harridge) and I} have discussed them and are in| perfect agreement.
