OF CANDY LEVIN

Lions Club sponsored girls team
last night at the High School Gym
established themselves as the
strongest sextette. in Key West by
crushing the Convent, 81 to 81.
The larger Lions, girls were able
to keep the fast Convent offense
very effectively bottled up while
scoring almost at will through the
CMI guards.
WKWF turned back the early
threats of the newly organized
Earthquakes, under the manager
ship of Candy levin, to win by
score of 80 to 81. Both teams
played very good basketball but
the experienced WKWF' oldtim-
ers were a little too strong for
the up-and-coming Earthquakes.

TrOjans tied the MachlniSts for
first place in the Island City
Baseball League last Sunday by
humping the American Legion
81. The Trojans apparently have
a strong team and should be a
tough contender for league title.
However, a bigger threat arose
Sunday when the Red Raiders
pounded two Conch pitchers for
Is hits and went on to win 1877.
The highly spirited Red Raiders
were spanked by the return of
Dan LaStreS, who starred for the
Navy in the Bermuda League be-
fore getting discharged. All the
sports writers in Bermuda agree
that "El Tori" Lastres, as he is
generally known, is big league
material. That infield of A. Las

A recently completed investiga-

and in the Alcova-Lost Cabin area,
and that these may in turn be re-
lated to present distribution of oil

eous formations.
The results of the investigation
have been released as preliminary
chart, printed on a single sheet
measuring 80 by Sc inches. The
chart includes two series of strait
graphic sections showing lithology
