A group of men in Fort Lauder
dale have already canvassed some
$500 season tickets if the Beach
moves there. This one measure
could convince Paul Rust, owner
of the Beach, in moving up state.
Club President Carbonell is
scheduled to appear before the
City Commission tonight in hopes
that the City Fathers will meet
with the Beach owners to map out
a way to bring them to this city.
Persons interested in this project
should attend and give the club
some backing.
Let's hope some way can be

Key West Banned
From SuncOast
Conference Sat.

South Florida's SuncoaSt Con-
ference, at a special meeting In
Belle Glade Saturday, voted un'
animously to reject the bid of the
Key West High School to join their
ranks for the upcoming football
season..
The eight members Of the con
ference were agreed in their Opin
ion that the great SiStance that
they would have to travel would
make such a move undesirable.
At the same time, they moved to
admit the Pompano High School
to the conference.
At this point, the high school
authorities are undecided whether
to seek another conference con
nection possibly in the newly
formed Gulfstream loop or to con-
tinue to campaign independently
as they have in the past.
The Gulfstream Conference con-
tains some of the top schoolboy
elevens in South Florida including
Coral Gables and Miami Beach.

ILion-Ram Tilt Is
Rated AS A TOssup

DETROIT R-"You can throw
out the window all that stuff about
us beating the Rams twice before.
That doesn't mean a thing now.
They're just as good as we are"
What Coach Buddy Parker of the
Detroit Lions means is:
The Lions and theh defending
champion Los Angeles Rams of the
National football League will be
near even-choices for their post
season divisional playoff game
here Sunday, despite 17-14 and "a
16 victories the Lions scored over
the Rams earlier.
The teams will collide at 1870
p. m. before a national television
audience and a possible sellout
crowd of $1,000 fans to settle the
National Conference championship.
If the score is tied when the game
ends, they'll play till one team
scores in a sudden death overtime
period.
The winner will 60 on to the NFL
championship game against the
Cleveland Browns, champions of
the American Conference, in Cleve-
land Dec. %.
It's too early in the week for
bookmakers to be quoting odds on
the Lions-RamS game. But one
bookie said the odds would proba-
bly, be 6-5 and take your choice,
or three points on either team.
The Lions might have gone into
the game noticeable underdogs if
quarterback Bobby Layne, leading
passer and second best ground =
gamer, had remained on the In
jured list.
Layne, who suffered a stretched
ligament in Saturdays victory
over Dallas, said yesterday that
his left leg felt good and that he
would play against the Rams.
Layne'S recovery means the
Lions will start their first string

Walker and Bob HoernSchemeyer
and fullback Pat Harder for the
first time in II weeks. Hoern-
schemeyer had missed the last two
games but will be ready.

Evening Sun Story
Revives Kitzmiller
School Controversy

A story in the Baltimore Evening
Sun of last Friday declared the town
of kitzmiller in a last-ditch fight to
save itself, but the story came as
surprise to most Garrett county resi-
dents, who were unaware that any
controversy had been revived.
The story centered around the fact
that high school students from that
area were scheduled to be transported
this fall to the new southern high,
located between Mt. Lake Park and
Oakland. The school building now
houses both high and elementary stu
dents, but after this term will be
renovated and prepared exclusively as
an elementary school.
The Evening Sun story related that
many parents had declared they would
move away if forced to send their
children II miles to high school.
Others, it was said, were investigat-
ing the possibility of sending their
children to high school in West Vir-
ginia.
A protest filed in the Circuit court
in 1949 was turned down. The Court
of Appeals in 1850 upheld the Circuit
Courts opinion. The protest still con
tinued into the 1850 school year with
a strike of many of the students, with
Associate Judge George Henderson
finally ordering the children to end
their action and return to school.
Now, according to the story appear
ing in Baltimore, the people are up
in arms again" There has been no
protest made to local officials, it mas
been learned, and there has been no
change in the attitude of the Board
of Education since its decision several
years ago.
