0nymous letters, but right from
the first word we knew this one
was from someone who wished US
we'll This one was a chain letter.
II didn't ask for money to send,
hankies, or anything else. Just
wanted us to read a verse In the
bible, and send on our own copy
and four others. Well, the verse
was looked up. it's Mathew 1920
and II concerns the faith that
moves mountains. So, We sent the
letters, not because We believed
that in four days we would have
any kind of colossal. stupendous
luck, but because Il seemed that
a chain OF letters going around the
world carrying faith in them, might
not be such q bad idea, and shot
in the arm like this is something
that is badly needed by host OF us.
Well now, would you believe u,

We read about an ice cream pie
the other day and decided to try

trying on the family. but this time
we came up with another winner

would soften the toughest Irish

Just when the family can't wait a

hard as you can handle. Run the
pie into red hot oven and brown
lightly and serve quick.
Another variation we thought was
a humdinger was a second thought

Head Football
Coach Beckman
Addresses Rotary
BY DOROTHY RAYMER

Head Coach Ed Beckman OF the
Key West High School football team
and Line Coach Paul Davis were
the guest speakers at the luncheon
meeting of the Rotary Club Thurs
day shortly after noon when
the organization met at St. Paul's
parish hall.
In giving the overall picture
of the squad for the coming sea-
son, Coach Beckman said I'VE are
trying to do good job. There is
an education in football which
teaches the boys to play to win
and how to lose if necessary" He
also said that it was necessary to
educate "the people in football
too, since it is a green game for
Key West.
He pointed out that the field and
the seating would be better this
year. He spoke Of the training and
that the team, although it has only
one strong follower, is working
hard and learning plays. He men,
toned loss of experienced players
and some of the other difficulties,
but was more hopeful in saying
that the passing technique was
being vastly improved. He said
that the first game would be with
Gesu High of Miami and that of
the 10 games only two would be
ION the road"
Line coach Davis evinced en-
thusiasm based on three main
points. He has had IL seasons in
football and said that these points
were something to be optimistic
about: 81. Interest. These kids are
interested in playing and believe
me, that's the first requirement.
2. Capacity: The boys have size
and can move fast. 3. Desire to
win: The team may be green but
they WANT to win"
Fighting technique is important
''It's a rough sport. l never
saw smiling football player have
many teeth" he stated.
Davis, who halls from Middle
ton, Ohio added a twist of humor
saying that one reason he wanted
to come to Key West was because
he liked 10 fish and after two years
of trying, but never catching a
thing in Ohio, he hoped to have
better luck in Key West waters.
In conclusion he promised that
Key West would see good honest
football"
Program director Paul Sher in
troduced Coach Beckman who in
turn introduced his line coach. An
open forum was held and Rotary
members asked questions Of Mr..
Beckmsn including a poser By
Earl Adams who suggested that
