The Key West High School foot

attempt to break the jinx Friday
night when they journey to Paho'
kee to face that school,
The Pahokee club, which has the
Conchs well secuted, absorbed a

quartet Of lettermen will attempt

Coach Ed Beckman has been
drilling his charges nightly in an
effort to get them in shape for the
initial road encounter Of the infant
season. Particular attention is
being paid to ends, the only spot
where Gesu could make any
Roadway last week. And chances
are, the Pahokee scout marked
that fact down in his little black
book. However, the return of defen'
sive end Ralph White, who should
see plenty of service Friday night
Is expected to. aid that situation.
Other emphasis in the drills has
been on building defense against

Close Game
Seen In Tech,
Gator Battle
by STERLING sLAPPEY

ATLANTA u There was q time
when Florida played Georgia Tech
in football that you picked Tech,
gladly caves Florida at least "a
points, waited until the game was
finished and picked up the pot.
Some Tech supporters practical
~ made q living doing that early
every fall before Florida's hopes
took their annual tumble.
This year, though, no one had
better try it-not even If Tech does
rate third best in the nation, first
in the Southeastern Conference and
even if the Tech team may turn
out to be the best Tech ever had.
Florida isn't loaded exactly, but
the Gators carry a lot OF weight
and they want to whip Tech in
Atlanta Saturday something terrif-
ic.
The game likely will be q run
ming classic with enough passes
mixed in to keep the opposition
from Tightening and to satisfy these
pass.happy Southern Conference
football fanatics.
Eight of the best runners in Dixie
will head into two strong defensive
lines. Florida foot troopers are
Rick Casares, very possibly the
most moderated man in Southern
football, J. (Papal Hall, the 1851
NCAA high jump champ, and Blu
ford Long.
Tech runners are better known
because of their undefeated 1851
season and the Orange Bowl vic
tory. They are Leon Hardeman,
Larry Ruffin, Bill Teas, Dick
Pretz and Glenn Turner.
Last week each mauled small
timers-Tech by $40 over the Cit
adel and Florida by 1876 over Stet-
son. Neither found it necessary to
show the fancy stuff and give
scouts diagram matter. Good as
each looked, their substitutes are
not as deep as expected.
However, each had q better
passing game than credited with,
Bill Brigham and Pepper Rodgers
will do most of Techs throwing
and Casares-an ex-fullback now
quarterbaeking-will do most Of
Florida's.
Both teams are in good physical
shape, In the line Florida offers a
great tackle in Charles LaPradd
and q fine guard in Joe D'Agos-
tino. Techs best are Linebackers
George and Larry Morris (not re
lated) and Tackle Hal Miller.
Both coaches iustifiably feel a
little apprehensive. Bob Woodruff
of Florida said his running game
will have to improve a great deal
If we are to be ready for Tech"
Techs Bobby Dodd, whose team
has more at stake than Woodruff's,
considers the game "the key to
our season. We've got to win to
get off on the right foot mentally"
Nationally speaking, Tech is the
focal point since the Engineers
haven't lost In Is games.

Juan August 10 under the
auspices of the Visitors Bu-

Several months ago the Virgin
Islands, through its Tourist De-

participate in this Festival. The
Governor appointed a committee
comprised of Mr.. ]. Antonio Jar
Wis, Miss Aline M. Kean, Mr..
Harry Goeggel, and Mrs. Eldra
.Shulterbrandt of st. Thomas; Mrs.
Ann Holland, Mr.. Charles Eman-
uel and Mr.. Wilhelm Samuel of
st, Croix.
The Committee has arranged a
program which includes caruso
songs and a jig from st. Croix,
and Lancers, Quadrilles and a
modern Bamboula dance from
st. Thomas. In addition to the
theatrical numbers, the Virgin
Islands are presenting a display of
Arts and Crafts representative of
the islands. MI. Jarvis, in coopera
ton with the Virgin Islands CO.
operatives, prepared the exhibit.
He has also prepared a pamphlet
giving the background of the
dances and dramatic numbers,
which will be distributed on the
evening of the Virgin Islands pro-
gram, Monday August A, at the
University Of Puerto Rico.
Mrs. Holland and Mr.. Samuel
directed the st. Croix group while
Mrs. Blanca Andre, Mrs. Eldra

and MI. Moses Baptiste directed
and managed the st. Thomas

Federal Credit Unions

S HP
eral credit unions are being
established in our islands. Ac-
cording to a bulletin issued by
the Bureau of Federal Credit
Unions of the United States
Government, a credit union
may be a convenient and hui
name way of saving money
and of making loans at low
rates. It could, In addition, be
the impetus f o a better
and fuller community life.
There are some six million
credit union members and
$4,000 credit unions through
out the United States. When a
member borroWs from a cred
it union, he pays no hidden
charges. He is dealing with
friends which is worth hun
dreds when unexpected diff
culties arise. I congratulate
the employees, public and pri-
vate, who are showing the
vision necessary to provide
this great benefit for them
selves and their families.

vi. IN PLATFORM

vi. IN PLATFORM
H VIRGIN ISLANDS may get a measure OF satiSfac-
ton from the fact that the Democratic Platform mentions us,
though briefly. The plank relative to the Islands is that a
greater measure of self-government for these Islands will be
worked for through the years. .,
CONCEDED THAT political platforms may not be all
they are supposed to be, and that they are drawn: up purely
with vote-getting in mind, yet the fact that the Democratic
Party would take this step is encouraging to us, and gives
hopes for greater things to come.
BUTTHI PLANK does more. It gives these Islands
something in black and white upon which to base all future
effort in the direction Of greater sef-government. The organic
act proposals did not go SO far as to provide for election of a
governor. Unfortunate as this may be, there can be patience
exercised until other factorS-come to bear more effectively.
WHAT work upon, and without ceasing, is the
provision suggested that those who neither speak nor write
English should vote in our elections. We know of nothing
more arbitrary. The national language of the Virgin Islands is
English, and the very least that can be asked Of an outsider
coming in is that he speak and write the national language
of the place.
THEN THERE IS another factor which could develop
into a vicious cycle out of which we may never wrest our
selves. It is positively not safe for these islands to have people
voting who do not speak or read, or write the language. These
people can not therefore understand what is happening. they
cannot acquaint themselves with trends, nor can they vote
inteligently when the time comes.
TO PERMIT GROUPS Of people to vote here when they
neither speak or write our language is certainly not a step
towards greater self government. If the Congressional com
mittee handling the organic act still insists on holding to its
position it might be well to give a reminder that such an atd-
tude IS certainly not in keeping with what is plainly written
into the Democratic National platform drafted and approved
in Chicago
