would mean a thing to Joe. You
could have horns, a set of ivory
eyes and a pair of glass teeth and
Joe'd be too blind to see it."
Lovely caught all of Katie's
meaning. She knew Katie with
that subtle, psychic Irish sense
had picked something out of the
air while Cosgrave stood looking
at her. Not that Katie was trying
to make trouble. But she'd al

good for Joe.

said time and again, "we're just

haven't got much brain. I've got
to let Bill do the thinking for US.
But you-you're different. You're
not just pretty. You're beautiful.
You've got the kind of looks that

reach for her lipstick. And you've

it. But you're not using it when
you let bird like Joe bog you

mentarily anxiety in his eyes. But
when she smiled at him in the old
sweet way he was confident again.

Saturday night in the final of a
!two-game interscholastic basket
! ball series here. BY virtue of it's
victory in the rubber contest, Key
West gained supremacy over the
Ponce varsity, two to one.
The low score recored by the
Cavaliers testified to the effec-
rveness of the Conchs' man-to-
man defense. Never sinking more
than six points in any single
quarter, the visitors were held to
a mere eight-point total in the
first-half and only six in the last
half. They were blanked in the
fourth period, suffering the same
fate experienced by the locals in
the opener of the series here.
Profiting by their mistakes Fri
day night, the Key West guards
and forwards baffled the upstate
cagers by constantly shifting po-
sitions while on the offensive. In
the previous game, Ponce corner
ed the forwards in end zones and
retrieved the ball as the guarlS
attempted long shots that were
wide of their mark.

Mcmahon paced the Conchs in
scoring, each racking up ten
points. John Menendez, seven
