The final preparation for the
Miami Shores-Key West Golf tourn.
ament Saturday and Sunday is
just about completed, all but the
pairing of the different players is
left.
Many of the local club members
have hesitated in entering the
tournament with the excuse that
they are too poor at golf. Re
gardless of what you shoot, it is
better to make a showing of all
the members than to have the club
look bad after the Shores have
brought their players here with the
idea that they would play.
Saturday night after the buffet
supper, the trophies and other a.
wards will be given to the mem
bers who have won their respective
flights in the recent Club Tourna
ment. Following that there will bt
dancing and what have you in the
way of a gala party.
James Mac Cardle entertain
ment chairman has promised that
none will go away from the club
house feeling remorse if he can
help it.
Due to the water. shortage, a
drink stand has been installed at
No. 4 green for tho who want
a pickup to finish their match.
Many have stated that this is a
big help and so Joe Lopez has
told me that as long as the players
want it, it will be. in operation
every weekend.
Don't forget to register.

Gen. Dwight ID. Eisenhower, ju-
bilant over his triumphant sweep
through Dixie, formally opens his
presidential campaign in Philadel-
phia tonight with an address out
lining his views on foreign policy.
The Republican presidential
nominee is expected to plunge
headon into this major campaign

The general returned to New

Key West HIS.
May Join
Conference

The possibility that the Key
West High School may, in the fut.
ure become a member of the
highly touted Suncoast Conference,
loomed today when Athletic Dir
ector Winston Jones, who recently
returned from meeting of tha,
group in Delray Beach, announced
that the Conchs missed being voted
in by but one ballot.
Membership in the conference,
which would include football, base
ball, basketball and golf is hailed
as great step forward for the
Key West high school athletic pro
gram.
Jones said that Key West missed
being voted in simply because
of the fact that the other mem
bers of the association had already
made up their schedules. A un-
animous vote is necessary to join
the conference.
However, Jones said that he viii
attend another meeting in Decem-
Der at which time majority vote
will be sufficient. Other schools in
the conference include: Lake Worth
Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, Seacrest,
Pahokee, Belle Glade and Stuart.
Jones also announced today that
season football tickets have been
placed on sale at the high school,
Sher's Jewelry Store and the Co
lumbia Laundry on a first come
first served basis. All of the seats
are between the 40 yard lines.
The Quarterback Club, which is
almost assured of reaching their
goal in the fund raising campaign
for the sodding of the field is ex-
pected to begin work on the pro-
ject soon.

ALABAMA GRIDDERS
STRENGTHEN LINE
Rx Tha Assoeiated Press

Hard and fast workouts are rap
idly knocking the rough spots from
the football squads in the first
week of Southeastern Conference
practice.
Line prospects for Alabama's
Crimson Tide were boosted con-
siderably by the favorable showing
of two tackles in Wednesdays
scrimmage. Sid Youngleman, of
Brooklyn, and Jim Glasgow, Bir-
mingham, both sophs, proved to
be effective line pluggers.
Coach Bobby Dodd of Georgia
Tech is sitting through his quar-
terback prospects for an effective
passer. He listed Bill Brigham,
Jack Hall, Pepper Rodgers and
Dave Redford as fine ball ham
dlerS and signal callers. "But pass
ing is at least one third of the
job" he added
At Vanderbilt, Quarterback Jim
Domain is taking on another chore
in addition to his job of working
for a varsity spot Coach Bill Ed
wards said he win help coach the
freshman backfield. Beside being
the only player-coach, Domain is
the only veteran signal caller for
the Commodores. Vandy Halfback
Jimmy Ray missed Wednesdays
practice because of an injured leg.
Eight Kentucky freshmen were
elevated to varsity status in a day
of heavy contact work.
Coach Ralph Jordan called for
the first scrimmage of the season
for his Auburn Tigers. A short
SUNNY scrimmage brought a rum
ming exhibition from Charlie Lit
ties and Bobby Freeman at right
halfback.
Georgia'S No. i passer, Zeke
Bratkowski, worked at building a
reputation as a booter. Mentor
Wallace Butts said the Bulldogs
will have need of a good punter be-
fore the season is over.
Coach Bob Woodruff focused his
attention on offensive guard posi-
| tons in concentrating on blocking
power for Florida ball carriers.
Woodruff said he win give all COM
ers a chance. Were not going to
pass up a single bet," he said.
The entire Tennessee squad got
its first rough workout in rotary
scrimmages between offensive and
defensive units. Greg Mausehart
has been shifted to lineback re-
| placing Lamar Leachman who is
hospitalized with an infected
1 throat.
Timing and pass protection were
emphasized in the University Of
Mississippi workout. Coach Johnny
Vaught concentrated on funda-
mentals in preparing for the Sept.
10 opener with Memphis State.
Mississippi State footballers took
up half the day with picture TAX
ing and stuck to fundamentals In
the afternoon. The kicking game
came in for special attention dur
ing a rough practice.
Tulane's left tackle position ap-
pears to be ably filled by Senior
Gene Rogas who played only a
| few minutes last year before being
benehed with a leg injury. He took
rough work Wednesday with no

defensive squad has too many

the shoe was on the other foot
but not for long.
In the sixth, the Tigers loaded
the bases with one out on a single
and two walks. Brissie rushed in
and Holloway sent his first pitch
out of the playing field to wrap it

Facsimiles of two previously un-
published letters of Robert E. Lee
have been presented to the Alex

The gift was made in apprecia-

ing been taken, he thinks it neces-
sary to seek a new home"

were two old Bucks, one made
in 1920, the other in 1928. Both
are owned by State Senator Louis
N. Phipps of Annapolis.
The Governor, in a jovial mood.
thanked every one from the roads
commission to the contractors and
operator of the sound truck.
The highway, he said, is a "mag-
nif1cent job" and added that the
super road will be completed to
Washington as soon as money
becomes available.
About Is miles remain to be
built from the Grain highway to
the District. That stretch is listed
as a major project in the first
four years of the commissions re-
cently-announced 12-year con-
Struction program.
The new stretch is designed to
supplant the existing Defense
highway-U. S. Route 50-as the
major traffic artery between
Annapolis and Route 301. It is
built to eliminate all hazard from
cross traffic through use of grade
separation structures and to pre-
vent marginal traffic friction by
full control of access.
Cost Put at $5 Million.
With two 24-foot-wide concrete
driving lanes. separated by a So
foot median strip and 10-foot
shoulders, it cost about SIS million.
The new stretch of expressway
now comes to a blank on U. S. 301.
To continue to Washington, mo-
toristS will have to go north about
3 miles to U. S. so, the Defense
highway, or some 3.5 miles south
to State Route 214, the Central
avenue route.
The completed expressway Sec
tion approaches another dead-end
above Annapolis at the new
Severn River Bridge. Work al
ready has started on extending
the expresSway to the bridge, but
a spur to Annapolis itself and
road from the east edge of the
bridge to Ritchie highway are only
on the drawing boards.
When finished, the Annapolis
bypass will link the eXpresSway
with Revell highway and the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge for un-
impeded north-south travel.
