Key West Gains Upset Win Over Miami Beach
Strong Second
Half Gives Key
West Verdict
Over Favorites
The Key West High
School turned on the steam
in the second half Saturday
night to gain an upset win
over the crack Miami Tech
cage squad, 50-43. The win
was doubly sweet for the lo
cals who have been plugging
along under a jinx that has
seen them drop a lot of close
ones *
It looked like an old and
familiar story in the opening
moments of Saturday’s con
test when Tech jumped into
a 13-8 lead. The halftime
found the Conchs on the
short end of a 24-22 lead but
when they came back from
the locker room they opened
up with as pretty an offen
sive as they have turned
loose this season to date—
they actually outplayed the
Miamians who were heavy
favorites to cop a win.
It was the fine Key West
defensive play in the first
half plus scoring efforts on
the part of Glynn Archer
and Stu Logun during the
early minutes of the contest
that kept the Key Westers
in the ballgame.
Repeatedly they frustrated the
Miami efforts at working the ball
in and their scraopy fighting under
the basket bore fruit when the up
staters couldn’t get set to run up
the score.
The Conchs played a furious
brand of ball in the first half and
when the second half got under
way, they amazingly maintained
their fast pace and actually out
ran the Tech five to gain the win.
It was Gibby Gates and Jim
my Selemen who teamed up to
supply the scoring punch when
Gates dumped in eight points
and Solomon scored for three
field goals and a foul shot to
contribute seven to the Conch
cause.
Solomon with 14 points, paced
the locals in the scoring depart
ment while Stu Logun dropped in
10 for the winning cause.
Dusty Rhodes had 15 for the
Techmen.
The win broght the Key West
season record to seven wins in 14
starts and they will have a chance
at finishing the season in winning
form on Friday night when they
tackle the tough Homestead Club
in Key West. The Homesteaders
own an early season verdict over
the Conchs and the chips will be
down when the two clubs meet.

To give those who state that the
play on the local course is small,
a check on Saturday’s rounds was
kept. There were nearly 200 plays
which consist of 50 foursomes or
double what the course is equipped
to handle. By this big number, the
course was kept busy for a full
