BOX 1852

The voting public doesn't realize it, but, while the American people elect a president, they do not nom- mate.
 In Philadelphia in 1948, Demo- cratic delegates churned in the lob bies, chafed at their helplessness, wanted to nominate anyone except Truman. ended up voting for Tru- man. They were tied by jobs, ma chine leaders, and the party whip.
 This has been true of other De- mocratic conventions for 12 years, plus some Republican. Delegates get pledged months in advance. They pick what they think is the band-wagon, and jump on it. It also takes money to corral delegates. In fact, getting nominated is now big business-and the voters don't have much to say about it.
 In an effort to bring nominations back to the people, however, the Washington Merry -Go-Round will conduct a presidential public-op- inion poll-beginning with the Re- publicans. Later, there will be Democratic Poll. Here is how you can participate:
 l. Send a penny post card to the candidate you favor, care Box 1852, Washington 13, D. c. This may be the last time you can send post card for one cent)
 ?. If, for instance, you favor Els enhower, address the card to Gen. Eisenhower, Box 1852, Washington, B. D. G." and on the reverse side write: I'm for you in '52.' Or, if you're for Senator Taft, Gov. War ren e California, or any other COP candidate, address the post card to him, care Box 1852, Washington l3.
 3. Give your name and address. Your name will not be published, but it's important to give it. Ringers and anonymous voters are not want ed
 4. Give your present political party. This too is important, be- cause in next years election a lot of people may cross party lines.

OF course it's little early to
start predictions for the local
high school gridsters but we will
give it try.
! Before any predictions are
! landed down however, it should
be known that these boys are
starting on the gridiron for the
FIRST time in local history. Also
the coaches, Head Coach Win
Jones and Backfield Coach Ed
Beckman, are having a little diff
fieulty with equipment not ar
irving and a fresh new bunch of
boys that haven't had the foot
Eall experience.
Making use of all these con-
siderations, it would be wise to
come to the truthful conclusion
that their first year won't be so
successful in the line of games
won. However, it will be success
full in experience and wis
tom on the gridiron, not only
for the coaches but also for the
boys that are coming back as
lettermen in the next regular
season.
At present, the coaches. are
drilling their boys with the scanty
equipment that has arrived. More
is expected any day. Without
equipment. it is very, hard to car
~ on the spring training of the
young gridsters. f
On September 81, Key West
High school will tromp the fields
for the first time, They will clash
WITH La kes WORTH a tnugf and
powerful foe, with all of their
green might. The outcome should
have. it as Lake Worth over Key
West by IL points.
q They will make the. 60 against
Pahoke on the 28 OF September.
This should be one of the closest
games of the season and should
be considered more of a toss up
than any of the others.
The Key West Conchs will try
to trip Seacrest on October Goth,
however, it looks like they will
receive another decided defeat
BY at least Is points.
On November 2. the Conchs
will travel to Belle Glade for a
game with the Belleglade grids-
tiers. Although I'm hoping for
the best, up looms the fact of
ex~erience on Bellglade's side.

dates with schools of comparative
size.

they have the challenging spirit
to win, the clean craftsmanship
they need and the deciding factor
