Big Crowd Seen For Conch - Broward Tilt
Key West Seeks First Victory
In Four Years Over Bulldogs
Br JIM COBB
CiiiMn Sport* Editor
There will be plenty of football on tap for the 6,000
fans expected to put in an appearance tonight when the
Key West Concha attempt to gain their first victory in re
cent football history over the South Broward Bulldogs in
their big grudge game of the year.
The mayhem is slated to start
at ft p. m. on the high school grid
iron.
The Conchs will be out in force
to attempt to put an end to a rash
of ties which has marked their
rivalry with the Bulldogs for the
past two years. In 1952, the dubs
battled to a 1212 tie and last
year's battle resulted in a 7-7 dead
lock.
The local gridders were placed
bs the proper frame of mind last
night at a giant pep rally held at
their traditional hangout, Pete Vv
rela’s Sugar Bowl. They saw the
Bulldogs burned in effigy and gen
erally worked themselves into a
frenzy of enthusiaam for tonight’s
battle.
With their hopes for an unbeaten
•eaaon washed out by a defeat at
the hands of Miami Beach, the
Concha feel that they can still sal
vage plenty of prestige by wallot)
ing South Broward, also a Gold
Coast Conference entry.
On paper, the Conchs are favor
ed. But the feeling la so high in
the tilt that both clubs are sure to
put forth their best efforts and
in reality, the game is rated as a
tossup.
Coach Ed Beckman was guilty
of the understatement of the year
today when hia only comment on
the possible outcome of the game
was, “1 think they'll both try hard.”
According to Beckman, the
Conchs will not be at top strength
—a factor which will make the
game that much closer.
Blocking back George Reese who
•aw acUon on only one play last
week, will aee but limited service
tonight. Joe Russo will stsrt on of
fense in his stead, in addition to
handling hia regular defensive line
backing assignment.
And guard Ralph Garcia is also
suffering from severe bruises, a
development which has reulted in
him being shifted from hb run
ning guard assignment over to Ju
lio Henriques’ weak side guard
position.
Garcia’s understudy, Ray Bazo,
is also on the sick list and pro
bably won't see much action.
The COnch backfiekl will be In
tact with Red Stickney and Bill
Haney at the halfback posts and
Mike Cates at fullback.
With the Bulldogs expected Vo
throw a lot of tricky outside stuff
and sprinkle the air with passes,
Key West ends John Carbonell and
Dick Kerr will undoubtedly play
key roles into tonight's donnybrook.
They'll be baeked up by Freddy
Puig, Ronnie Parks and Gene Fa
vors.
Tackles Prank Hood and Wayne
Brantley and center Johnny De-
Merritt will round out the Key West
line which have its hands full with
a hard digging Broward forward
wall sparked by Bud Schuler, 140
pound tackle.

UGONIER. Fa. UK-Arnold John

adelphia Athletics and is moving
the franchise to Kansas City, says
he'll name his field manager and
general manager nest week.
Johnson made the statement last
night at Pittsburgh in an airport
interview. He mentioned no names.
However, in Chicago, Lou Boud
reau. former manager of the Bos
ton Bed Sox. said he had been in
touch with Johnson.
• But nothing u definite yet.'’
Boudreau declared.
The Chicago Tribune said John
eon announced recently he planned
to confer with Joe Cronin, gen
oral manager of the Red Sox. The
Tribune said:
“Boudreau's contract with Boston,
calling for an ostimsted 140.000 to
$45,000. had another year to run.
Johnson would want to know f
the Red Sox will have to assume
the enure obligation, or only the
financial difference if Boudreau
lands another job in 1905. Boud
reau admitted he didn't know ef
guch a twist in his contract"
Johnson said he has had masy
application* for the field job.

Russians Will
Be Tough In

NEW YORK Ut-An all-out ef
fort and the sternest possible com
petition will be necessary if the
U.S. hope* to match the powerful
Russians in the 1556 Olympics, says
a veteran official who has seen
Soviets in recent action.
"The Russians claim to have
seven million registered athletea
and from that number they’re
bound to have a great number of
exceptional athletes.” said Dan
Ferria.
The gray-haired executive sec
retary of the AAU saw the tremen
dous Job the Russians did ia Hel
sinki in 1952 and witnessed their
performances in Switzerland last
summer.
“The Russians are twiiding up
in every aport.” be said ia an
interview. “They are better in
moat every event in track—and
they were good enough before—
except in the sprints. The other
Iron Curtain countries are devel
oping their stars too. We've got to
dig m and work—and hard.
The Russians woo the world
hockey, weight-lifting and gym
nastic championships. They swept
the European track and field
championships. The Hungarians
impressed ia winning the Europe
an swimming championships. The
Russians even came up w ith some
excellent men and women divers
and they never had anything hke
that before ”
What will the United States have
to do to meet opposition?
“We must have competition and
more competition,” replied Ferria.
‘We must have more summer
competition in every sport, par
ticularly ia track and field. We
hope to get the program rolling
next summer and follow it up

NEW YORK iR-The Ohio State
Buckeyes, undefeated and smelling
roses, are certain to nave their
•yea filled with flying footballs
when they tie into the Purdue Boil
ermakers in one of tomorrow's out
standing attractions on the national
Iron.
This is what Ed (Moose i Krause,
director of athletics at Notre
Dame, has to say about Lennte
Dawson, the 18-year-old Purdue
sophomore who will demand the
answer as to whether the Buckeyes
have a big league defense against
passes to go along with their other
undoubted attributes.
“Ralph Guglielmi.’" says Krause.
*'ia one of the finest quarterbacks
we’ve aver had at Notre Dame, but
he can't compare with Dawson as
a passer. Dawson is the finest
passer I’ve seen in college football
in five years.”
In seven games up to this point,
Dawson has tossed 14 touchdown
passes. This is Purdue’s annual
homecoming game, an occasion
when the sap bubbles over. Purdue
relishes its reputation as a spoiler
at winning streaks But if you still
feel lie backing the Buckeyes in
the office pool, don t let any of this
stop you.
We see that speculation alreadv
is rampant about the coach most

“Jim Tatum of Maryland was

Maryland has been rendered ex

Bowl Threats
By CO CORRIGAN
The Associated Press
Two upstarts who dared not en
tertain any fanciful dreams in Sep
tember can make dates for New
Year’s Day if things go right to
morrow.
Arkansas, the Cinderella team of
the Southwest conference, needs
only to tie Southern Methodist to
clinch the league championship to
the embarrassment of such pow
i ers as Texas, which was once re
garded as an almost-certain win
ner.
Ohio State has shot to the fore
in the up-and-down Big Ten race,
and the No. 2 team in tne country
will seek to make Purdue its
| eighth straight victim and sixth
in a row in league play.
I The Buckeyes might get a real
; battle from Len Dawson and his
■ aerial circus, but they’re the fa
vorites just the same. If Michigan
State whips Michigan and lowa
drops Minnesota, Ohio State ; s in.
The Southwest Conference win
-1 ner automatically is nominated as
the host team in the Cotton Bowl
in Dallas, while the Big Ten victor
goes to the Rose Bowl.
The other Cotton Bowl team is
invited after the season.
The Pacific Coast Conference
representative in the Rose Bowl
probably will be Southern Califor
nia, through the courtesy of UCLA.
Southern Cal plays Washington and
should have no trouble.
UCLA, the No. 1 team in this
week’s Associated Press poll, is
idle before tackling the Trojans
next week. The Uclans played in
the Rose Bowl last New Year's
Day, so they are not eligible to
' return. .
Another team that could see its
bowl hopes enhanced or badly man
| gled is Georgia, currently leading
the Southeastern Conference. The
Bulldogs are undefeated but tied
in league play, but they face a
strong Auburn club and will be the
underdog. The conference winner
goes to the Sugar Bowl.
Meanwhile, there are numerous
traditional games around the coun
try, and even the ancient Ivy
League could produce a winner.
Yale, clubbed by Army last week,
nonetheless is 4-0 in the league.
The Elia play Princeton for the
77th time and could come home
first should Harvard turn back
Brown and Cornell get past Dart
mouth.
Other big ones from a traditional
standpoint include Pitt-Nebraska
and Alabama-Georgia Tech.
Oklahoma, ranked No. 3 behind
UCLA and Ohio State, plays Mis
souri, Nebraska's chief rival for
the Orange Bowl bid. Notre Dame,
No. 5 after Arkansas, will try to
j gain prestige at the expense of
; North Carolina, while Army, the
class of the East and No. 6. has a
relatively soft assignment against
Penn.

Minnesota-lowa
Clash Seen As
A Cruiser Sat.
MINNEAPOLIS, m - The colli
sion of Minnesota’s Bob McNa
mara with lowa's bone bending
line here tomorrow might be
enough to make the Milquetoast
spectators wince.
Minnesota, a s*-i point underdog
which still cherishes the hope of a
Rose Bowl trip, is banking virtually
everything on McNamara. lowa is
gearing its defense against hm
without being absolutely sure from
which position his line blasts will
come.
| McNamara, a 190 pound senior,
probably will alternate at fullback
; and right half. But Coach Murray
Warmath figures he delivers the
most damage from fullback.
Against Oregon State last week,
that added up to 161 yards in 14
carries and two touchdowns. Yet
he started the season at right hilf
and was shifted in desperation
when Minnesota’s entire frontline
fullback corps was felled by injury.
Rival coaches this year agree
almost unanimously that probably
no one runs with such ferocity as
; the Minnesota captain. There are
' plenty who are faster and some
: who have more raw power.
McNamara literally gallops when
' he breaks free. The style : , '*coun*s
for the numerous times when the
Irish farm boy has been slowed in
I the secondary and then bursts
1 away for long gains.
! In seven games, he has scored
.nine touchdowns for 54 poi 's to
share the over all Big Ten scoring
| lead. The t’e cou'd be broken to
j morrow. The other gent with 54
points is Earl Smith of lowa.
