"We Could Lose This One,' Says
Beckman Of Archbishop Curley
Hi* Key West High School foot
ball team ran through a light drill i
yesterday morning on the Annex
Field and after it was all over,
Coach Ed Beckman said that their
fasces are mighty “mighty slim”
to remain unscored on on Friday
when they run up against a highly
touted Archbishop Curley eleven.
“We could lose this one,” Beck
man cautioned. The Concbs will be
shooting for their fifth straight vic
tory • a feat which would guarantee
them a .500 rating for the season.
Beckman pointed out that the
Miami teams, after a look at Key
West’s record, tre pointing for s
win. They’d like nothing better
then to spoil the win skein the
Conchs have built up.
The Concha are riding high. They
have outs cored the opposition in
cluding St. Ann’s, Miami Tech, St.
Theresa’s and St Patrick’s to the
tune of 116-0.
The Conchs have done most of
It on the ground. A look at the
record books shows that they have
picked up an amazing total of
1,272 yards on the ground while
their opponents have been held to
a mere 351 yards.
The Key West passing attack has
not been put to real test in action
thua far in the season. They’ve
completed 14 of 40 passes for a
total yardagr of 202 yards.
The Conch pass defense, an un
certain quantity at the start of the
season has been functioning well
with the book showing that they
have Intercepted eight aerials that
the opposition has tried.
Friday night will see a determin
ed bunch of footballers inarching
out on the Wicker* Field greens
ward to do battle with Curley.
They want to win and preserve the
streak they’ve started.
Another reason they are pointing
for this game is the fact that the
Curley is coached by Ray Dunn
who handled the reins at St. Peter
and Paul for the past two years.
St. Peter and Paul have won ver
dicts over the Conchs for the past
two years.

A WELL KNOWN FIGURE in the local tennis world, Ralph E.
Hartenstine, now an officer in the United States Army, was
recently promoted to the rank of Captain in formal ceremonies
at Camp Gordon, Georgia.
A member of the Executive Committee, Florida Tennis
Association, Captain Hartenstine is best remembered as the
singles and doubles champion at Key West in 1950-51 when he
played with Jack Sellers.
He is a graduate of Tampa University and, following a tour
of wartime duty as an Air Force intelligence officer in India,
was an Inspector with the Miami Immigration and Naturaliza
tion Service.
Upon being recalled to active service in January 1952,
Captain Hartenstine entered the School of Political Science
at the University of Southern California and upon graduation
was assigned to the 408th Military Government Company at
Camp Gordon in which capacity he still serves.
Mrs. Hartenstine is the former Anita Abbott of Waycross,
Georgia, and is presently residing with the Captain at Camp
Gordon.
Calif fa Wants Taste Of Pro Ball
By WILL GRIMSLEY
NEW YORK lifi—Arnold Galiffa,
who won 11 sports letters at West
Point and later became the gren
ade-throwing sensation of the Ko
rean War, is anxious to get a
i taste of pro football—and chances
are it’ll come next Sunday,
i The New York Giants make their
home debut against the Chi-
Icago Cardinals at the Polo Grounds
and Coach Steve Owen promises
to unveil—for a few plays at least
—his new quarterback from
the fighting fronts who he says
“will be another Otto Graham.”
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound onetime
|steel hand from Donora, Pa., be
jeame a Giant over the weekend
after his discharge from the serv
ice. He watched his teammates
lose their third straight game in
Washington Sunday, bowing to the
Redskins 13 9.
j “I’d never seen pro football
I before, “the dark-haired former
All America quarterback said. “Gee
; they’re big guys and they hit
mighty hard. College ball was
j never like this.”
Galiffa may have been im
pressed by what he saw but he
1 couldn't have been scared. Even
“We've Improved in every ball 1
game.' Coach Andy Gustafson
said. Monday as he moved his
Hurricanes through their second
tough training session in prepara
tion ior Nebraska of the Big Ten.
Gus said this week’s econeentra
tion for improvement would be in
the departments of passing, pass
defense and purling. “I was by no
means satisfied with the perform
ances in these departments a
gainst Clemson and we’ll have to
improve a lot before we tackle
Nebraska,” Gus said.
‘’We re going to have to do some
thing about our punting and quick”
the Hurricane gridiron boss said.
Miami s averaging punting to
date have been under 30 yars per
kick. Art Knust has been the most
successful punter to date with an
average of 35 7. However, he has
punted only 3 times.
Tuesday, October 13, 1953
pro football must look like child’s
play to the officer wh spoent six
months on the Korean fronts when!
the fighting was fiercest back in’
1951.
In February 1951 he won recog
nition for his grenade marksman-:
ship while the Americans were
pushing the Communists back
north.
A dispatch from the front lines
said Galiffa became the marvel
of his comrades by hurling gren-j
ades effectively for 75 yards, twice
the distance the book says the ex-:
plosive can be thrown accurately.!
“Aw, shucks, we were moving
forward and the Communists
holed up pretty thick,” Galiffa ex
plained. “I got loose some gren
ades and they happened to hit
some Communist holes, that’s all.
Nothing to it.”
At West Point, the swarthy, 26-
year-old janitor’s son won four let
ters in basketball, four in base
ball as a first baseman and three
in football. He was All-America
his last year in 1949.
Yale has not lost an opening foot
ball game since losing to Virginia
in 1940.
In speaking of Miami’s poor aver
age on punting, it may be recalled
that practically all of the Miami
punts this year have been against
the wind —some of the boots
being made against almost gale
winds.
No man has scored more than
one touchdown per game this year.
Nine different men have crossed
the goal lin*. Bill Smith is the
team’s leading scorer to date, hav
ing tallied a touchdown in each
ball game. Bill also crossed the
goal line in the practice game with
the Opa-Locka Marines.
Miami so far this year has gain
ed a total of 706 yards on the
ground and 280 yards in the air.
The team's leading ground gain
er is Gordon Malloy with 167
vard*. He has carried the ball 36
times, and average of 4.5.
Jack Lowe, the new Freshman
Notre Dame
Keeps Their
Top Rating
NEW YORK (jf—Notre Dame re
mained at the top of the collegiate
football world today—the third
straight week the Irish have ruled
the roost.
The weekly Associated Press
poll of the nation’s sports writers!
and sportscasters gave the South
Bend squad 1,226 points despite
the fact that it was idle last Sat
urday. t
Notre Dame collected 74 first
places compared to 57 for all other
teams combined. The points were
tabulated by the usual method of
10 for first, nine for second and so
on.
Michigan State, which had to;
come from behind to lick Texas
Christian, stayed in second place,
but gathered only 14 first-place
votes, as compared to 15 last week
and 977 points compared to 1,022
in the second poll.
The biggest change was disap
pearance of Ohio State from the
top 10. The Buckeyes, shattered
by underdog Illinois 41-20 last Sat-|
urday, plummeted to a tie for 18th
with Mississippi Southern, the lit
tle school that beat Alabama at
the start of the season. Illinois
rose to No. 9 in the rankings.
Maryland, which many observ
ers think is the top team in the
South, rated third, only 16 points
behind Michigan State. The Terps
were a distant fourth last week.
UCLA was fourth and Michigan
fifth. The rest of the first 10 was
rounded out, in order, by Georgia
Tech, Duke, Baylor, Illinois and
West Virginia.

Make The Weight
PHILADELPHIA UFi Because
Gil Turner is losing his girlish
figure, the 23-year-cld fighter’s as !
pirations to the welterweight crown
of Kid Gavilan may be scrapped
forever.
| Still ranked as a leading con
tender for Gavilan’s title, Turner!
nevertheless tipped the beam at
156 while plodding tc a 10-round
decision over Itaio Scortichini at
Detroit last Wednesday night. And
he’s doubtful whether he can ever
make the 147-pound welterweight
limit again.
1 “And we won’t try to find out!
until it’s necessary,’’ said Mana- 1
ger George Katz yesterday. Katz,
noting that Gil is working to make
155 pounds for his 10-rounder with

Thursday night, said he doesn’t
expect another welterweight -title

the team’s second leading rusher
with 144 yards. He has carried the
ball 18 times and holds an average
of 8.0 per try.’
Frank McDonald, who is being
hailed as All-American, is Miami's
leading receiver. In three games,
he has snagged six aerials bombs.
In the Clemson game last week,
he snagged an almost impossible
catch to pave the way for Miami’s
second touchdown and break the
back of the Tigers. Even Coach
Howard of Clemson admitted after
the game, it was McDonald's great
catch which broke the back of his
team. Thus. Big Mac became a
very unpopular man with the Clem
son coach. Two years ago in the
Gater Bowl game in Jacksonville,
it was McDonald who led the way
for a Miami win when he snagged
one of these impossible catches.
Man 0’ War
Was Tops, Says
Earl Sande
By JOHN CHANDLER
NEW YORK <JP Earl Sande,
born in 1898 at Groton S. D., was
raised on a farm near American
Falls. Idaho, where be rode cow
ponies.
That was the beginning. He went
on to become the toast of the rac
ing world, winning most of the
major stakes races in this coun
try aboard some of America's most
famous horses.
Now, making a comeback at 54,
Sande recalls his past glories.
“I rode Man O'Wsr once—in the
1920 Miller Stakes at Saratoga,
and we won by six lengths. He
was the greatest horre I ever rode,
i “His regular jockey, Clarence
Hummer, broke a collarbone in
a spill, and they asked me to ride
Big Red in the Miller and the
. Travers Stakes. But my boss,;
Cmdr. J. K. L. Ross, had Sir Bar- i
ton in a race in Canada on the
day of the Travers and I had to
ride up there.
“But this Man O War, he was
the super horse, i haven’t seen
anything that compares with him, j
although Citation was a great
horse,
“Man O’War was invincible all
the time. He was glorious in defeat, j
his only loss, to Upset in the San
ford Stakes.
I “As for others I have ridden
well, I just don’t know There were
some great ones, Zev, Gallant Foy, l
Grey Lag, Sarazen, Crusader, Mad ,
Hatter, Chance Play, Flying Ebony!
Nellie Morse, and Billy Kelly to!
name a few.
“I have to give the nod to Man
O’War, but it would be hard to
separate the others-'’
His biggest thrill’
“I’ve been thrilled to within an
I inch of my life so many times,
that even now it’s hard to say.
I I guess winning my first Kentucky
Derby with Zev in 1923, and then
with Flying Ebony in 1925 were
the greatest.
I “I fell at Saratoga on Aug. 6,
11924. I broke a leg and a collar
bone. They thought Id never ride
! again. Well, I fooled them.
• “The next spring, the late Mrs.
Graham Fair Vanderbilt asked me
to ride Sarazen, and we won and
broke the track record at Havre
de Grace. I knew I was all right,
again.”
Before the 1925 derby. Sande had
no mount. He was under contract
to William Ziegler, Jr., whose;
horses didn’t show enough derby!
class.
“Quatrain was the favorite,'
but he was to be ridden by Benny
Bruening, although his owner said
it would be okay for me to try,
and offer Benny $2,000 and 10 per)
cent if we won. I decided not to
ask him.
“Well, that evening the late Mr.
William Duke, trainer for Gifford
A. Cochran, said he would start
Flying Ebony if I’d ride,
j “I took him, and then came a
terrific cloudburst Flying Ebony 1
could run in the mud. and he won.!

LSU Drops 4 Starters To 2nd
Team After 2-Hour Session
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
i Louisiana State. Tennessee and
i Vanderbilt football squads went
:through long full - speed scrim
ages yesterday, but the other nine
Southeastern Conference outfits
took it easy with light workouts
and coaches' promises of rough
drills today.
j Coach Gaynell Tinsley dropped
four of Saturday’s starters to sec
ond team status and tried several
different line combinations in a
two-hour scrimmage against the
third string.
Coach Wally Butts held a short
workout, announced that his Geor-i
gia team's tackling against Mary
land was the worst he had ever
seen, and said this week’s oppo
nent is the best LSU team in 10!
years. Then he called it a day.
Tennessee got its most rugged
Monday drill of the season and
Coach Harvey Robinson started
looking for replacements for in
jured ends Roger Rotroff and
Ronald Gust and fullback Tom
Tracy.
Coach Art Guepe moved regular
halfback Don Bailey to fullback in
his search to find a strong of
• fensive combination for Vanderbilt, i
through a long offensive contact'
drill.
The Alabama squad took it easy,’
spending most of its time watching
the “B” team run through Tennes
see plays.
i Coach Ralph Jordan took a look
jat the films of the Mississippi State
'game, commented, “I don’t know,
how we did it (tie the Maroons
21-21),” and then pointed out mis
takes the Tigers committed.
! Coach Bobby Dodd’s Georgia
Tech squad had its shortest work
lout of the season. Dodd said a
scrimmage would be held today
in preparation for Auburn.
Mississippi State players saw the
movies of Saturday's game, then
went to the practice field for a
look at Kentucky plays. Coach
Murray Warmath said scrimmages
; would be held today and tomorrow.
Coach Bear Bryant pushed the
scrimmage.
Coach Johnny Vaught looked

during a short workout the!
,Greenies might give Ole Miss its
'toughest test of the season. Vaught
said he liked the way his squad
came back and defeated Vander

Supreme Court
Will Decide
Basketball Fate
WASHINGTON J* - Organized
baseball goes before the Supreme
• Court today in what it perhaps
;the most significant legal contest
in the history of the national sport.
The court has been asked to de
cide w hether bast ball is an illegal
monopoly in restraint of trade. If
it decides that it is, the ruling
could mean the end of big league
baseball as it is now played.
But this is an extreme possibil
ity. Even if the court were to
rule against baseball, there are
possible outs. Congress, for in
stance, could pass a special law,
or there might evolve a sort of
baseball players.
Arguments on three appeals the
high court agreed to hear was set
down to begin late today, but it
was possible that start of the three
hour argument would be deferred
I until tomorrow.
1 The question whether baseball
violates the nation’s antitrust laws
has been before the Supreme Court
before. In 1922 the court decided
baseball wasn't a business, and
that as a sport it was not subject
to federal antitrust laws,
i The three appeals now before the
high court were filed by minor
leaguers George Toolson and Wal
ter Kowalski and a minor league
clubowner, Jac Corbett.
All three maintain that the 1922
decision no longer applies. They
contend the game has been greatly
changed since then by such de
velopments as intricate farm sys
tems and radio and television cov
erage.
In addition, the appeals main
tain, baseball amounts to some
thing resembling slavery since the
players are tied to their club own
ers under the controversial re
serve clause, which gives the own
ers absolute control over baseball
activities of the players.
! Replying to the suits, organized
baseball said in its briefs that the
antitrust charges are without basis,
that the specific questions raised
in the three actions have nothing
to do with interstate commerce.
Officials To Wink
At Minor Fouls
ST. LOUIS {*—A decision by
basketball officials to turn their
backs on minor fouls yesterday
was termed “the greatest shot in
'the arm intercollegiate basketball
has received since the elimination
of the center jump.” ,
That was the way E. L. Rom
ney, commissioner of the Mountain
States Conference, felt about the
officials action at their annual two
day basketball clinic here. 1
The National Assiciation of Col
legiate Commis-ioners approved
the bypassing of “fringe fouls and
borderline violations in the back
court” that have little effect on
the “continuity of play” during the
1953-54 season.
