Pahekee Tomorrow Cesu
Saturday Will Test Coarchs
KEY WEST SEEKING 5TH,
AND 9TH STRAIGHT
WINS; GIRLS, CYC RE-
NEW RIVALRY

Key West High goes cunning
for its fifth and sixth straight
victories tomorrow and Saturday
when it meets Pahokee High and
Gesu High of Miami at the high
school gym.
On past performances the
Conchs look like easy victors over
Pahokee tomorrow night but the
visitors have been printing for
This game and may show surpris-
ing strength. Gesu High on Sat
urday will give the Crimson and
Grey a real test, being rated as
one of the best Glass B teams in
the Miami area
The growing suspicion that
Key West has a good ball club is
being confirmed by the perform
ances of some of the schools beat
EN- by the Conchs. For example,
Ponce de Leon High, trounced by
Key West, is well in the running
for the Gulfstream Conference
title, being in third place. The
only defeats in nine games for
Ponce de Leon are those at the
hands of Key West and Miami
Edison High.
The classification of schools in
Class A, lass B and Glass C
groups is proving no exact cri-
terion by which to judge a
school. According to Miami pa
pers, Homestead, which eked
out one-point win over Key
West is d Glass c school, but the
Homesteaders are in a consid-
erably higher bracket in the Key
West book. Also it is no great
surprise when a Class B school
beats a Glass A team.
All in all, the Conchs are roll
ing up an impressive record but
longer the win streak the higher
the pressure. Hence, Pahokee may
well be no push-over tomorrow
and Gesu promises to be a dan
gerous opponent Saturday.
The preliminary for tomor-
rows game will find the High
School Varsity Girls and the
Catholic Youth Council lassies
renewing their rivalry at 7:15
o'clock. Each team has won one
game in their series this season,
