His name is still one to conjure

On Eds first day at the high
school, prospective grid candi-
dates got light workout on the

put about 35 boys in two gym
classes through training in foot
ball fundamentals.
Practice is slated to begin in
earnest next week. So far all of
the pants and jerseys have ar
rived. But without shoes and pro-
tective equipment, not too much
can be done.
Many of the boys who turned
out for the preliminary workouts
showed real promise, according
TO Jones and Beckman. Key West
will have plenty of weight in its
forward wall if the big boys who
are available can learn to move
fast and use their bulk in block

BROWNWOOD. Tex.-(P).-J.
Horace Cap Shelton carries
this amateur business to the
extreme. Hes been track coach
at Howard Payne College 81
years and has never been on the

Coaching track is a hobby with
Cap. He likes it so well he's
willing to do it for nothing. In
fact, he insists on it.
His record is mighty good. He
has won IS Texas Conference
Championships in the 90 years

it under his coaching. The con-
ference wa Mt formed until 1927
and has skipped a few years be-

Fred Wolcott. Wolcott set
world ; records and IS known as
one Of the mightie.t tracksters OF

He spent the past three
years as coach of the Canal
Zone Junior College in
Balboa. Tackle football got
its start there through Eds
efforts. The quality of the
work he did can be gagged
by the fact that teams he
coached won one football,
two baseball, and two bas-
ketball championships.
There were a few minor haz-
ards he had to contend with. Like
torrential rains that transformed
the fields - both baseball and
football-into quagmires as regu-
larry as the setting of the tropi-
cal sun. The mud would rise
above shoe level, he says, so
there was only one recourSe-no
shoes And the climate was so
hard on leather that the tradition
al pigskin would moulder away
in no time. Hence rubber balls.
Offense had to be modified be-
cause the rain and mud made the
ball slippery and hard to handle
in a razzle-dazzle way.
Before he went to Balboa, Ed
was physical director at the Coral
Gables Youth Center. There he
was in charge of all sports and
the physical department. During
the war, he served for three years
as an athletics officer.
For year and half, he was
stationed in Key West. Despite
the fact that he was here under
duress, he fell in love with the
Island City and determined to
come back when the world had
stopped shooting at itself.
For a time, he was stationed at
Harvard as part of the Viz unit
He served as assistant coach OF
football and basketball for the
Harvard varsities. which were at
that time composed to large
extent of navy boys.
A graduate of Panzor College
of Physical Education in East
Orange, New Jersey, Ed is cur
rently working for his masters
degree in education from New
York University. The exigencies
of earning a living for his wife
and six-months old son make il
impossible for him to study ex-
cept during the summer. But this
summer, he hopes, will give him
enough credits for the higher de-
gree.
Ed has had a wide experience
in pro bali, both foot and basket
He played in the backfield of the

Ronnie Delaney of Akron, Ohio
a high ranker among the middle

fight card at Turner's Arena in q
10-rounder against Connie Will
kins of Washington. Delaney is
favored.
Both are hard hitters, depend
ing more on power than skill. and
there's chance the fight will not
last the scheduled 10 rounds
Delaney is the more experienced
with SIS victories in Sc professional
fights and has quite reputation
around New York.
The latest National Boxing As
sociation rating sheet listed Del
aney among the outstanding mid
dleweight fighters. His only defeat
was by Jimmy WEIGH. whom he
beat in return match early this
year.
Wilkins is not as we'll known
as Delaney outside of Washing
ton, but he did well recently in
several fights in Boston.
Hinnant, also District middle
weight, is booked for the semi
final, a five-rounder against
Johnny Pratt. former Army cham
pion. Two other fives on the sup
porting program have Roy Writ

Bill Mcfarland against Coffee
