strong shoulders. That may have
been fifty some years ago and a
part of war that to us seems
pennyante in comparison with
our own lavish productions, but
it's still top secret as far as Gun
ner Morgan is concerned.
Soon after his work on the
Maine brought him to the atten-
ton of American officialdom.
Morgan was recommended by
President Mckinley for a COM
mission.
An enlisted man raised to en-
signs rank The proposition rails
ed a mushroom shaped cloud of
resentment over the hallowed
ground of Annapolis. The preSi-
dent. however, would not be
swayed. and throwing himself in
to the breach of tradition, gave
an ensign'S commission to Nor
gan.
His relations with presidents
had not come to an end quite yet.
Theodore Roosevelt wrote a len
gthy comnlendation of Morgan
and his investigation of the Maine
in his own, illegible hand.
During the first World War,
Morgan was Captain of the Ma
val Base at Key West. In 1921, he
retired from active duty to de-
vote his unlimited energies to the
promotion of Pan American Air
ways, then little more than a
soauling, lusty child of an air
line. 1t seemed a rather desirable
thing that the planes have a place
to land, so he put Meacham field
in shape. When Pan American
reached its adolescence and de-
cided to move north, Morgan sad
" parted from it SO that he could
remain in Key West. =

Underwater Unit
Downs Hospital
By 63-6l Score

The Underwater Training Unit
defeated the Naval Hospital by
two points Wednesday night to
take the championship of the
Naval Basketball Leagues second
flight
Second place in the flight went
to the Naval Hospital
The final score, after a thrilling
battle that went undecided until
a few seconds before the final
gun. was So to 81.
UTU started fast, taking 81
to 8 lead by the end Of the first
quarter. Dare, high point man for
the winners with % points, was
pacing the UTU attack. 1t looked
like a walkaWay until the hos
pital started connecting in the
second quarter
Gaining II points to their OPP
ponent's IA, the hospital pulled
up TO 25 deficit at the end of
the first half. Their big gun was
Gil DeVOre. The sharp-shopting
forwards 25 points for the EVE
ming led not only his team but
the UTUs in the scoring depart
ment. 1t was largely through his
efforts that the team stayed in
the running up to this point, Four
straight field gpais ins the second
period accounted for almost half
Of the quarters points.
Trailing byS I01peints ass the
third period began, the hospital
team settled down for a grim,
uphill battle, Sherman began
hitting just about every time he
got his hands on the ball During
the quarter he sank four field
goals while teammates DeVore,
Romero, and Przybyla were con-
Meeting for one each.
UTU's Dare continued to lead
his mates as he sank three field
goals to Wagner'S two, and Mel
sons one At the end of the quar-
ter, the hospital had pulled up
four more points and the score
stood AZ to IL for UTU.
The last period was hospital all
the way. DeVore began clicking
again, connecting for four field
goals, while Hall got three, Prey
byla two, and Sherman two four
shots.
UTU's Dare garnered three
more from the floor. Clendennon
got two field goals and one foul
shot, and Nelson hit for two field
goals and one foul. The hospital
came out of the period with 90
points to TITUS l6.
This was not enough, however.
The Hospital was coming up fast
and would have tied the game In
knots with a few more seconds of
play But as the final whistle
blew, the score stood So to 81 for
the Underwater team.

money but in responsibility and
plenty of hard work"

baseball power in those
days and no small part Of
its success was due to
Charles Morgan's efforts
at shortstop. His biggest
contribution to the sport
in the Island City, however,
was when he brought the
Cincinnati Reds here.
The big league team wanted to
come south, all right, but they
couldn't quite see coming for
free Morgan, who then as now
had an almost religious feeling
about the game. was convinced
that something should be done to
give benighted Key West a look
at big league ball.
So he wired the manager of the
Cincinnati team that he would

they play four games--then he
would put up $500 of his own
money.
They would. He did. OF course,
the team drew so many people to

at the very least, an heroic thing.
