Contest Will Bring Togeth.
ef Two Traditional Ri
walls Oas To ssDo Or
De-

A touch football game will be
played tomorrow night at 8
O'Clock between the Juniors and
Seniors of. the Key West High
School. The game will bring to-
fgether two traditional rivals
who are out to do or die" for
the honor of their respective
classes.
Both teams have been practic-
ing for weeks, and are said by
Coach Nathan Pepper to be in
good shape for the fracas. The
name touch" football doesn't
do the game full justice. So
don't let it fool you-this game
can be as hard fought and rough
us its brother football game.
Blocking is allowed, the only
restriction being that the block
er must not leave his feet while
taking his opponent out of the
play. An added feature will be
each teams cheerleaders and the
High School Band, sporting new
uniforms.
This is said to be the first
night touch football game in the
High Schools history, and if it
is success, it will be repeated.
No charge will be made, but a
collection will be taken up and
will be turned over to the High
School Athletic Association.
Touch football is a wide open
game, with passes to thrill the
spectators as numerous as run
ming plays.
Key Westers are asked by
Coach Pepper to get behind the
football players and show them
appreciation for the long hours
Of work spent on the football
field in preparation for this
event.
Key west sports fans, parti-
cularly those who long for the
day when the local High School
can place football team in COM

schools, should support this first
effort of Coach Pepper for the
gap between hard-hitting,
