At 8:l5 at Wickers'
Field the pride of the Is

meet Miami's SIS Peter and
Paul.
Win or lose it's the last
scheduled game sci for the

learned that il will be the
toughest competition the

landers who are bowling out of the
high school level this year and
going on to the realms of higher
education and. possibly, sitter
football competition.
Ken Bazo, The Conchs 19I-poundS
of captain. has already had three
'.c'mon my house bids from
colleges. Strangely enough all of
fers came from out-of-state schools
which proves that Florida can raise
pigskin prospects as easily as
Poinciana plants.
So far the weighty senior, who

birthday cake this month (may
blow the cake off the table, tool,
hasn't made up his mind which OF
the three schools he'll grace with
his presence--if any.
Unlike so many footabll stars
Bazo is also an honor student and
q sharp man with a set Of school

Adams is being kept dark until
game time. The defense will have
to be good one. bu; then the
conchs can play fine defensive
football when the spirit moves
them-and the Saints are the clos

II Is doubtful if end Jim Baker
and quarterback Morton Hall will
see much service tonight. Both
huskies took q subway-type push
ing around last week at South
Bruward and will be used sparing
ly. This is the last season for Hall
and Baker as far as Key West
High is concerned
Bakers plans are unknown as
yet. Hall is toying with the idea
of marine engineering career at
a northern college-or q four-year
term at Miami US UNCOVERED

The conehs have set 20 lose a
game at wicker's Field for which
the Island Citizens are duly CRATE.
