Shrine, So. Dade Games To North Carolina, Miami Freshmen To Battle Friday The Shrine game, pitting the University of Miami and North Carolina State foot- ball teams, and a clash be- tween Key West and South Dade will provide Keys ar- ea football fans with plenty of gridiron action this week. The Conchs will make their final start of the sea- son against the dangerous South Dade gridders Wed- nesday night in Homestead while the Shrine game, be- ing resumed after a year’s respite, will be played Fri- day night in the high school stadium. Two former Key West high school football players will be seen in action in the charity tilt. "They are Richard “Biff” Salgado, freshman fullback at U-M and Joe “Crazy Legs’ Pineda, who is mak- ing a name for himself as a triple threat quarterback at North Caro- lina’ State. One of the largest football crowds ever assembled here is expected to turn out for the clash. Advance ticket sales, according to Shrine. Club. officials, are “very brisk.” Meanwhile, Coach Ed Beckman - has scheduled the final drill of the season for his Conchs in prepara- tion for their Thanksgiving Eve clash with South Dade — a tough baliclub despite its losing record. The Conchs will be out seeking their eighth victory of the season. Statistically, they have dominated their opposition and only a loss to Miami Beach and a tie with valiant. Chattanooga High aggre- gation has tarnished their record. A look at the record book shows that they have outgained the oppo- sition on the ground by an amaz- ing margin of 2227 yards to. 880. That means they have picked up an average of 278.3 yards per game as compared with 111.0 for their opponents, The Conch passing attack’ has not been as impressive although it has edged that of their oppon- ents by a wide margin. The Conchs attempted 63 passes, completed 19 of them for 351 yards and an av- erage of 23 per cent. The oppon- ents of the Conchs tried 57 passes, completed 18 of them for 167 yards and compiled a completion . per- centage of 24 per cent. While South Dade has been the doormat of the Gold Coast Con- ference, nobody, including lead- ing Miami Beach Typhoons, has beaten them by a very wide mar- gin. 4 . Miami Tech, for example, man- aged only a 19-14 win; Broward beat them by only one point, 14- 13 and Constance who later con- quered Tech, managed only a 6-0 win over South Dade. They'll feature a wide open of- fensive with lots of cross bucks and delayed attack. stuff. A regiment of, Conch fans is expected to journey to Homestead for the clash. Browns-Giants To Meet Sunday In Crucial Tilt By The Associated Press The Cleveland Browns and the- New York Giants, two of profes- sional football's finest defensive clubs, collide at the Polo Grounds in New York Sunday in a game that should settle the wrestling for the Eastern Division title of the National Fooball League. “They'll have a psychological edge,” New York Coach Jim Lee Howell said. “They beat us last month 24-14.” Coach Hampton Pool of the Los Angeles Rams won't pick a winner but he calls the Giants the most improved club in the league. “I couldn’t believe the Giants | were that good,” Pool said. “They'll be tough for Cleveland. They'll be up. This is their ‘must’ game.” This was after the Rams had beaten the Giants 17-16 in a foot- ball melodrama Yesterday. The Browns “for their part, turned in a great defensive effort in front of the Giants with 6-2 against the Giants’ 6-3. Detroit, after a bad scare, slipped by Green Bay 21-17 and took a firmer grip on its third | straight Western Division cham- pionship. In other games, the Chicago Bears took Baltimore 28-13 and the Chicago Cards thumped Washing- ton 38-16, San Francisco dumped | Pittsburgh 31-3 Saturday night. Twice yesterday New York fought from behind, led 16-10 at the half and might have pulled it out with a fourth-period field goal.

Eddie Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves has hit a home run in each National League Park in each of the major leagues. The South Broward Jay- Vees came from behind Sat- urday night to edge the Key West B team, 12-6. The game marked the first defeat for the Conchs and maintained the unbeat- en record the Bulldogs have compiled, It was the final appearance of the season for both teams. The Browards exhibited plenty of speed, power and deception in gain- ing the victory although the Conchs rolled over them in the first half. Fullback Bill Sayez, an eighth grader, dominated the Broward attack and proved to be a hard man to sotp. Four intercepted passes also hurt the Conch cause. The locals drew first blood in the first quarter, when with Paul Higgs and Johnny Williams carry- ing the ball,,they worked down ‘to the Bulldog four yard line from where Higgs went around teft end for a score. The kick for the extra point was no good. The Conchs had missed an earlier chance to score when Wayne Al- bury dropped a pass in the end zone. Broward evened it up with two minutes to go in the half when they intercepted a pass thrown by Higgs from behind* his own goal line and scored from the 18 yard line. Their try for the point was wide. The Bulldogs. dominated the game in the second*half. Twice the Conchs staged determined stands — once on their one, yard line — and fought the Bulldogs machine to a standstil!. But the third drive they generat- ed was good for the winning TD with four minutes to go in the game. Sayez was the scorer, run- ning the ball over standing up from the six yard line. Their try for the point was sidewide. Center Dan Cates, guard Sam Curry, halfbacks Higgs and Wil- liams and quarterback Ray Taylor played outstanding football for the Conchs.

Crucial SEC Games. Saturday By MERCER BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer - Mississippi’s once-beaten Rebels, within one victory of the South- eastern Conference football cham- pionship and a bowl bid, are keep- ing a wary eye on downstate rival Mississippi State. Johnny Vaught’s Rebels remem- ber only too well that twice before in the final game of the season State has knocked Ole Miss out of the glory of the championship and the gold of a New Year’s day game. The Maroons burst the Rebels’ bubble last year with a 7-7 tie which threw the title to Alabama’s Crimson Tide. ‘Bama went to the Cotton Bowl while Ole Miss stayed home. In 1941, State beat Missis- sippi 6-0 to grab the title' for it- self and blast. Ole Miss’ dreams. This year Georgia Tech is the most ‘likely candidate to sweep up the honors if Ole Miss falters. A Mississippi defeat would leave the SEC title to the winner of the ‘Tech-Georgia game, which Tech is favored to win. A Tech-Georgia tie and an Ole Miss loss would make Florida and Kentucky co-{ champions. In addition to the State-Ole Miss | and Tech-Georgia games, this} week’s final football Saturday brings these traditional battles be- tween intrastate arch rivals: Mi- ami at Florida, Auburn-Alabama in Birmingham, Louisiana State at Tulane and Tennessee at Van- berbilt. Kentucky concluded its regular season with a 14-13 come-from-be- hind victory over Tennessee Sat- urday and is waiting now with its 7-3 record to see what ther bowl folks have to say. Kentucky, along with Florida, Ole Miss, Tech, and Auburn, is being considered as the Cotton Bowl opponent for Arkan- sas. Sugar Bowl and Gator Bowl of.-, ficials probably have these same teams, and maybe Georgia, on their lists of possibilities. Louisiana State hit the peak of a spotty season Saturday when Al) Doggett led the Tigers to a 7-6 victory over Arkansas. Earlier, the Tigers knocked Texas Tech, from the ranks of the unbeaten and handed Florida its first SEC loss. LSU has lost six games. In other games on last week- end’s abbreviated program, Van- derbilt beat Villanova 34-19, Au- burn trounced Clemson 27-6 and Alabama bowed to Miami 23-7. Vandy’s victory ended the Com- modores’ longest losing streak in history. Counting the last game of the ’53 season, Vandy had lost! eight straight until the Commo-| dores worked over Villanova.
