Wilson Coach Joe Carlo, usually
close-mouthed on the subject Of
his athletic teams. didn't clam up
after his Interhigh champs added
st. Johns football team to their
list Of victims yesterday. He ran
of a string of superlatives that
easily could be confused with
those of Maryland's Jim Tatum
anytime last October.
This is the best team Wilson
has ever had. and one Of the top
the District has ever had" Carlo
told eager glad-handers after the
24-6 victory in the Griffith Sta
dunn mud.
When asked about Wilson's un-
usually good passing with q wet
ball. Carlo said, We've always
had good passing, we just haven't
had to use it as we had to today
THAT team hasn't played Its
best game yet, we haven't even ex-
|plored our offense," he added as
he waited for his celebrating
charges to board the bus to school
st. Johns Coach Joe Gallagher
and Mush Dubofsky, line coach
echoed each other in their esti-
mates of the game. mike SOM
mer was the difference" both said
They added that breaks" af-
Ifected the score, but Sommer was
the main reason Wilson won.
Gallagher had more to say about
the breaks" He thought the
Johnnies had recovered Sommer's
tumble In the fourth period when
Wilson was leading by only 1876
officials gave the ball back to
Wilson, however. and Sommer ran
down the right sideline for A
yards and touchdown on the next
play.
Gallagher went on: I'm the
third quarter when the score was
tied, we had fourth down and one
yard to go on our own 40-yard
line. We called for a fake punt
and run, but we had a bad pass
from center and Shannon (the
Ipunter) was smeared for a 4-yard
loss by the time he recovered"
"Our line did okay in spite of
being outweighed Is pounds per
man." DubofSky said. We moved
Wilson's line. we'll until the Sec
ond half. A heavier team always
has the advantage in the mud,
They wore us out. We just couldn't
move in the mud"
The Johnnies, who preferred to
dress at the stadium instead of
back at school as did Wilson, were
disconsolate as they washed of
the mud. A couple players num-
bled apologies to coaches and
alumni on their way from the
showers to their lockers. Gallagher
and Dubofsky would have none
of it. They congratulated each boy
in turn.
Sommer. ALL High tailback, was
a marvel. The 170-pounder gained
lis yards in 20 carriers and COM
lpleted two Of four passes, one good
for % yards and the tying touch
down in the second quarter. His
44-yard touchdown run was what
the high school fans were waiting
to see all afternoon. Mike took the
ball over right tackle, but was
caught at the line by two Cadets.
He squirmed away and cut for the
sideline. did a tight rope act to
the 30-yard line, swerved to the
center of the field and outran two
defenders to the goal.

Hockey Lions Beaten
by Springfield, 6-3;
PachaI Gets ) Goals

The Washington Lions took
their second straight hockey set
back from the league-leading
Springfield Indians last night at
Uline Arena, dropping this one
by 6-to-3 score.
A crowd of 1,018 was on hand
to watch the Lions briefly tie the
powerful Indians twice in the

fields star with three goals, two
in the second period and another
in the third. Both his second
period scores were the ones which
sent the Indians ahead after the
Lions had moved into ties.
The Lions gave their followers
hopes Of an upset with a brief
showing of offensive force in the
second period. After Springfield,s
Doug Powell had scored with a
pass from Bill Jones for the first
periods only tally. the Lions
moved into a IL deadlock early
in the second period. Bill Innes
knocked in the Washington goal
after bit of fancy passing from
Sandy Air and Gordon Warner.
Halfway through this period the
Indians again took the lead on a
goal by Pachal. Less than a min
ute later, however, the Lions again
knotted things with Bibber
O'Hearn, the teams leading Scor-

from Stan Warecki.

That finished Washington, how
ever. Before the period was out
Pachal and Bill Jones scored
within a minute of each other to
give Springfield a AZ edge to
carry into the final.
There Pachal completed the hat
trick with his third goal and Bill
Jones got another for the Indians.
In between, the big Archambeault
made one of his rare tallies for
the Lions.
The last period was marked by
another rarity-a penalty against
a goalie. The whistle was blown
at Springfield's Don Simmons, but
his time in the penalty box was
served by Doug Powell.

A LIFE TO BE SAVED
or
CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE?

editor, The Citizen:
Two days ago there was sick
puppy near my place of business.
Obviously the pup has distemper
and was abandoned.
Key West has been without a
veterinarian for some time and |
have been trying frantically to
get a shot of penicillin for the
puppy.
There is no one here in Key
West authorized to give treat
nent to animals and | am re-
iiably informed that they are
lying in great numbers where
nany could be saved.
I know there are a number of
animal lovers who would gladly
make donation to get a COM
1etent veterinarian here in Key
West.
In the meantime, there is a
very sick puppy at GIL Duval
street. A shot of penicillin would
very likely save its life. The only
alternative / have is to call the
Humane Society and have il
put to sleep"-which would
NOT HAPPEN if we in Key West
had a veterinarian. Will someone
come to the aid of the puppy?

SEPARATE LAW FOR

Editor, The Citizen:
The reluctance of the CITY
fathers to modernize our traffic
system with one-way streets and
one-sided parking has this much
to be said for 1t: you can't drive
fast in downtown Key West and
keep a full set of those tin-foil
tenders they hook onto cars
these days. On busy arteries,
such as Truman, Duval, Simon
ton and Eaton, the speed limit is
generally observed. But just try
clocking the trucks on Palm
Avenue or Roosevelt Boulevard.
Ouch.
Last week ! was inching a
bicycle along the Garrison Blight
sidewalk with one foot on the
1avement when the constabulary
interviewed politely. While was
being chided for my dangerous
contempt for the lives of return
ng fishermen, three huge trucks
charged by at what seemed about
fifty miles an hour, causing sew
eral of said fishermen to step
lively. My officer did not raise
his eyes, and ! figured that
mine were deceiving me.
They weren't, though. Yester

NEW YORK up - Do you know
the greatest feat of magic ever
performed?
John l.. McManus, corporation
attorney who owns the worlds
largest collection OF, magic appa-
ratus, says you don't have to be
= Houdini to perfr0m it. Anybody
can do it.
THE best magic trick l know
Of is to tell the truth" he said
dryly. "You can fool more people
that way than you can by telling
lies"
McManus, former president of
the Rolls Royce Co., of America,
knows far more about magic than
most men who make il a career.
He has assembled a library of
1000 volumes on the occult and
5000 props used by the great pro-
fessional magicians of the past.
Part OF his collection, valued at
more than $l0O, goo, will be shown
at the National Antiques Show in
Madison Square Garden next week.
An accomplished amateur ma
gician himself, he found his hobby
to be source of unexpected profit
during the last war, when his firm
handled many multi-million dollar
defense contracts.
Il used the magic in Washington
to amuse the high Brass he said,
grinning. During one intense ne
gotiating session | cut the cords
off the window shades and per-
formed q few simple rope tricks.
That broke the tension.
He believes magic plays great

WANTS INFORMATION
ON HAVANA.KW FERRY"

Editor, Inc Citizen:
Upon the suggestion of Con.
gresham Lantaff's office, | am
writing you to inquire the pres
ent status of the proposal to re
vive the Key West to Havana
automobile ferry. The Congress.
mans office has heard nothing
about it, but ! have read several
magazine and newspaper ac-
counts which insist the event is
imminent. We should like to run
this information in an article on
Key West we are preparing for
forthcoming issue of Americas,
the monthly magazine of the
Pan American Union published
n English, Spanish, and Portu-
sueSe.
Among the stories | have heard
is one that says a brand new
vessel accommodating several
hundred automobiles has been
built and is in dock up the coast
waiting for the go-ahead signal
to proceed to Key West to start
the new service. /, myself, was in
Key West recently and made
some inquiries about the sub
ject, but all got was the run
around, and one explanation that
1t was a matter of politics" AS
a result, decided to wait until
/ got home and to take it up
with the Congressman.
! wonder if you would be
good enough to explain to me
just what is happening in this
matter, and when, if ever, the
project MAY go through. AS you
can imagine, it is a subject of
great interest to our Cuban read
ers as through service of this
sort would be of immense value
to their tourist trade and general
commerce.
! hope you can straighten me
out. Many thanks for your
trouble.
Sincerely yours,
