Beach, 38 to SO, making it their
second victory over out-of town
teams in as many games. The

In the main contest of the eve
ming, the Typhoons from Miami
Beach started out like they meant
business but their quick passing
system was just as quickly solved
by the local boys. AS 1 said in
the article yesterday, the Conchs
are hard to crack and it takes
more than typhoon to do it.
In the first and second quar-
tiers, the visitors had the lead over
the Monroes but in the third
part of the game, the locals scor-
ed Is points to the Fisher boys
three. In the final quarter they
scored 10 to the visitors IL
points.
At one stage of the contest
the score stood: % for the Conchs,
and % for the invaders.
Three straight fouls and a field
goal gave the visitors 81 points as
total at that time. Then Key
West scored another basket and
the tally was 80 to 81. At this
junction, local rooters were given
a scare. The visitors made two
field goals, bringing the score 80
to 81 in Key Vests favor. The
Conchs then crawled out of their
shells and rung up a field goal
and from then on with four min
utes to play they scored five more
points while the Typhoons mark
ed up two more.
The leading scorers were: j.
Pinder and c. Knowles with IL
points each for the locals. and
Baida and B. Drury for the visi-
tors with nine each. Powell. of
the Typhoons. made seven points.
The playing of Strother, captain
of the Ida NJ. Fisher five, pleas
ed the local fans. for his passing
and dribbling were excellent.
All the Conchs deserve equal
credit, for Wickers, Saunders and
Lopez played their position like
masters and with Woodson help
ing them to victory from the side
lines, they fought like trojans fol-
their Alma Mater.
