The tournament wifi be held in the Redland High Gym next week on Thursday, Friday and Satur day. The coaches of all “C” Class schools were to have met in the Miami Beach High School Sat urday morning to arrange details of the tourament. Out of the 19 teams in the district, only ten will appear in the tournament. The six strongest teams, accord ing to the assembled coaches, were seeded. This is done so that the best teams will not meet each other until the end of the tournament, thus insuring better final games. Pompano was seeded first, Homestead second, Delray Beach third. Then comes Key West, followed by Redland and Ter-.h High. Key West plays its first game Friday morning at 10 o’clock Greenwood Lake, N. J., Made Over For Contender Billy Conn By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Writer GREENWOOD LAKE, N. J., Feb. 19.—Billy Conn is going to like his camp in this little village. The place is being made to order for the Pittsburgh Kid who has plans for lifting the world’.s heavyweight boxing champion ship resting on the brow of Jcc Louis since 1937. When the Irishman arrives April 1 to begin strenuous train ing for his June 19 date in Yan kee Stadium everything will be shipshape, even to the 40-foot cab in cruiser which undoubtedly will have the run of the lake. Teddy Gleason, the man who got Conn interested in this sec tion, is responsible for what is tantamount to an entirely new fight camp. The site is more fa miliarly known as Brown’s Hotel Since the name has been carried down through generations. $25,000 Refurbishing Project Gleason has shelled out $15,090 and will spend another ten grand before Billy begins belting spar ring partners. Teddy’s first job was to spruce up the hotel interior. He had the exterminators in twice during the first six months, painted and re modeled all 20 rooms in the ho tel, brightened the restaurant with palm trees and indoor awnings and had numerous portraits of fighters painted in the barroom. Even President Truman has befeh '‘dope in oil”. Gleason is building 20 steam heated cabins with a shower in each. Six of these cabins will b? used by Conn’s sparring mates. Dance Hall Is Indoor Gym The indoor gym, used occasion ally for Saturday night dances, has a full-size ring and will hold more than 1,000 spectators. At present the makeshift dressing room is a coat check but that sit uation will be remedied. Indoor drills will be held dur ing rain and cold. An outdoor arena seating 1,200 persons will be built between the hotel and the southern tip of the lake. When the summer season hits in full stride Gleason plans to pro mote boxing. Conn's living quarters will be a smart looking chestnut log cabin less than a half-mile up the road and back from the concrete high way. The cabin cost Gleason $3,- 500 but recently he turned down an SB,OOO offer to sell the place when Billy fell in love with it. The structure, complete with all modem conveniences, took Glea son six years to build in his spare tune. Plenty Of Room For Roadwork The setting is ideal for road work, too. There are numerous paths and, if Conn feels the urge, ht can run around Greenwood Lake. It’s only nine and a half nules long but a good 20-mile hike around it by foot. Gleason, a checker’s delegate for the International Longshore men’s Association, says Conn be came sold on the place onlv a few months ago while putting awav two steaks and listening to what could be done. One of Conn’s pals has been on the scene for several months. Ko is Joe Lucignano. promising 22- By FRED MILLER. JR. against sixth seeded Tech. Ac cording to the seedings, Key West is favored to win.

THE SNAPPER Takes In the Whole School Published by Key West Senior High School Students EDITORIAL and BUSINESS STAFF Editor, Betty Cottrell Asst. Editor, Carolynne Morgan Fashion Editor, Joan Porter Asst. Fashion Ed., Ann Doherty Features Editor, Gerry Albury Who's Who of the Week This issue we’ve chosen as our week’s celebrity, Joyce Mulberg. She first saw the light of day January 21, 1929, in Key West. Joyce came to Key West Hi in the 9th grade and we put her to work right away. 7 She was then elected Treasurer of the Student Council while still a “Studious Sophomore” and earned herself the title of “Honest Joyce”. Sho then was appointed chairman of the Recreation Committee. This was really a big job as the Annex had just started to function. Joyce took over and before we knew it, it was a big success. One of the best things about it was that we had a juke box all paid for. How she accomplished this, we’ll never know. Like Alexander Hamilton, she just had the gift of being a great financier. She proved to the rest of us that she was capable of holding the fort and doing it well. We couldn’t let her go by then, so we just elected her president of the Student Council. It can safely be sa:d that she has been one of the biggest little presidents we have ever had. . Like all other people, she, toi), hak ‘romantic interests. We he lieve Frank Papy, heart throb of all lovers of music in Key West, is in first place, but we could be wrong. To a job well done, let’s give a big hand to Joyce . Mulberg. Eagle Scout Bozo The outstanding event of the recent Boy Scout Week was the awarding of the Eagle* Scout award, the highest Scout award, to Arthur Bozo: We congratulate Arthur and hope that he will be an example to other Scouts to aspire to be Eagle Scouts. PARIS VD PROBLEMS PUZZLE FOR OFFICIALS AP N^'vsfeatnres PARIS, Feb! 19. —It’s more than au.uuO amateur ladies of the evening, not the legendary ‘Ma demoiselle from Armentieres, who have Army authorities in Paris keeping a sharp eye on the broad boulevards and tiny side streets. French police records show that the city had between. 1,200 and 1,500 prostitutes living in registered houses, before these were ordered closed recently and another 5,000 “inscribed” prosti tutes who ply their trade from cheap rooming houses and shab by hotels. “But they are not our greatest source of difficulty,” said Capt. Franklin R. Fitch’of 2539 Birch Street, Denver, Col., head of Seine section’s Preventive Dis ease division. “That source is the clandestine prostitute—the unre gistered or uninscribed girl who makes all or most of her living that way and on whom there is no way of checking unless she happens to be picked up in a raid.” Registered houses of prostitu tion were off-limits to military personnel, even before they were ordered closed with the regula tions enforced “most strictly by the madam es themselves who knew they would be penalized if they permited American soldiers to enter their places,” Sports Editor, Fred Miller, Jr. Asst.

By CYNTHIA LOWRY Weekly examinations of regis tered prostitutes helped control disease, but it is, he said, prac tically impossible to control the situation involving casual pros titution in hotels and rooming houses. MPs and French police make raids frequently on suspec ted premises, and between 150 and 200 girls are picked up week ly.” Fitch said soldiers picked up in such raids were given preven tive disease treatment and inter viewed to obtain possible sourc es of disease. The women are taken to hospitals, examined and then, if found free of disease and inscribed as prostitutes, are re leased. Unregistered girls who are not diseased are turned loose with a warning and a strong sugestion they register as pros titutes. If they are picked up three times they are forced to register. Diseased women are held for treatment. , Although the VD rate for American soldiers in Paris is “slightly lower” than the rate, for instance of soldiers in Ger many, a great many, of the cases don’t show up until the men who were in Paris on leave get back to their units and Paris is believ ed to be the greatest single source of VD infection on the continent Fitch says.
