The Navy captured a 5-4 win
over the Key West Tennis Club
this weekend.
Peter Varela and Jack Sellers
defeated City Tennis Doubles
Champions John McNulty and Bob
Robson in the net action between
the Key West Tennis Club and the
Navy net team on Saturday and
Sunday at Bayview Park, 6-2,. 6-3.
Jack Sellers, former City Doubles
champion, the only two point man
on the Key West team, captured
his singles start and helped to win
his doubles match. Sellers, who is
on reducing diet, decided to lose
at least a hundred pounds, after
he had chosen Varela as his part
ner so that Peter would not have
to carry all of the load.
In other matches, H. Sellers and
c. Lott defeated Cmdr. Watson
and Capt. Payson, ST, rs, ga.

but missed the points to win.

CarbOnell Attends
FIJI Meeting Today

Louis Carbonell, president Of the
Key West Baseball Club, went tC
Miami today to attend the annual
meeting of the Florida Internation-
al Baseball League.
The chief business to be discus
sed at the meeting will be the
selection of a new league presi-
dent to succeed Senator Henry S.
Baynard, who has indicated that
he will not seek reelection to the
S., 900 per year post.
Max Carey, former major lea
que player and manger, is said to
have a good chance for election
as president of the loop. j. Russell
Cook is also slated to be consider
ed for the job.
Another big question, which also
should be considered at the meet
ing is whether or not the league
will remain an eight team circuit.
According to the word from some
sources, it is uncertain who will
be in the league and who won't be.
All Of the clubs are expected to
indicate tomorrow just what their
plans are for the coming season.
The "eight veteran" rule = which
was passed in the form of motion
at an earlier league meeting is
expected to pass easily at the con-
fab. According to the measure, the
FIJI teams will be held to eight
veteran players while the balance
of the rosters must be made up
of limited service performers. The
change is hailed as big step for
ward in putting the Fill on a
sound basis.

Gators have settled down to the
rough grind of getting res iy for
a homecoming foe after a light

Though highly pleased with their
performance against Georgia last
Saturday, Coach Bob Woodruff ap-
parently does not plan to let them
rest on their laurels with Auburn
coming up Saturday.
The defensive line did most of
the scrimmaging Tuesday against

particularly effective in breaking
up and intercepting passes. Most
Of the work was on the ground,
however, for Auburn is primarily
a running team from the split-T.
Making it rough for the B team
were Guard Joe D'Agostino and
Linebacker Bubba Ware. Tackle
Jimmy Hatch was in pads after
missing the Georgia game because
of an injury received against Van

Tuesday. Howard Chapman, the
