The Conchs are closing out their most impressive season in the four year recent history of the gridiron ime in Key West. Although the team sailed through their sche- dule undefeated, the caliber of the Opposition this year has been con- siderably higher, prompting the ex- perts to attach more importance to the Conchs’ 7-1-1 record.

Gordon Malloy of the University of Miami, who made his final ap- Pearance before home fans as a Hurricane player by getting his first 100’ yard game against Ala- bama last week, needs to do just a little better than half that well against Florida in Gainesville this week to join the U of Miami '1000 yard club.’ Only seven other Hurricanes have gained 1000 yards or more net from scrimmage in their Miami careers. Malloy goes into the Florida game with 943 yards in his Miami ca- reer and hence needs just 57 more to go over the top. Malloy, with 12 touchdowns in his Miami career, is sixth in total TDs, one short of Walter Watt who pick- ed up 13 TDs in four seasons. , The Hurricane captain has play- ed both left and right halfback spot and also spent a season at fullbacking. He’d probably be well over 1000 yards now but in his sophomore year, after he had made & good start as an offensive right halfback, he was moved to the de- fensive platoon because of his great defensive ability and spent most of his time with that group. Miami’s great captain has car- ried the ball 82 times this year and only twice has he failed to come up with a gain. Actually he had advanced the ball 741 yards for Miami. In addi- tion to his 472 net in rushing, he has 217 yards on punt returns, 34 or kickoff runbacks and 18 on pass interceptions. In past years, he has been an able man on pass inter- ceptions; this year, Miami’s sys- tem of play and his move to left halfback have changed that and he has been a target for any passes. Most of the time this year, the University of Miami Hurricanes have been attempting to end jinxes and they’ve done a pretty good job as they earned their first football. victories over Baylor, Maryland, Fordham and Alabama and have started their competition with Mis- sippi State and a victory. However, this week against the University of Florida, they'll be attempting to preserve some min- or jinxes. For instance, they've ne been more successful against Flo- rida in Gainesville than they have oF coe. 6 eee Fi Mathie ‘This group of Key West High School football performers will see action to- night in Homestead when th Staff Photo, Don Pinder. ) seovtadtas aft ey meet the South Dade Rebels in their final start of the season.—Citizen Sports | NEW YORK (#—Baltimore fans do not agree unanimously with | this agent that their Orioles got plucked; by the Yankees in last | ‘week’s earthshaking player deal.

But he and Willie Miranda are an even trade. “Next comes the jewel of them all, Bob Turley, Here is a boy who is a fine competitor, a gentleman, a great baseball player. Every- body in Baltimore is sorry he had to be traded. After all, we gave him a car last year for being the most valuable player on the team. “You seem considerably elated with Turley’s strikeout total (185) last season. But don’t forget to read all the statistics. For every one he struck out he walked an- other one (181). Sometimes, I still remember with some agony, the walks came one after another. One afternoon in Detroit, four of the first five Bengals to come up got free passage. “Turley has a lot of potential, but do you think the coaches down here didn’t try to, bring’ it out of him? Harry Brecheen spent the whole season trying to calm~the boy down.and didn’t succeed. “Tur- ley got his reputation early in the season when he got within two outs of a no-hitter. He never came that close again. “So don’t get the idea that us yokels got taken by the big, bad Yankees, or that we’re about to Tide Richards out of town on a rail. Richards didn’t get where he is by being taken. By the end of mext season he’ll be the one who can sit back and say, ‘I told you “We lose some strength, but look at all the players we got.

I'll bet you that the ball club Richards Puts. together does better than the sev- enth-place Orioles of 1954.

It was a season of upsets. Perhaps the cock- eyed season can best be described by pointing out that four teams qualified for three different New Year’s Day bowls last Saturday. The quartet won- only three games on the final Saturday and the bowlers scored 34 points while having 103 scored against them. Of the 43 games picked last week this corner was correct on 36 and wrong on 7. That’s an average| of .837. The ‘season’s figures are: 344-131 for .724. The, final merry-go-round.
