Anne nodded agreement. “And if Dryden had been follow- ing you, he might have come in and shot Vronski—unknown to you . . According to his story, he didn’t see Vronski at the night club and went But his story isn’t necessarily true.” Bigelow and Anne were regarding each other searchingly. Austrelitz noted this and smiled faintly, “You are both thinking that Dry- den could not have slipped in and shot Vronski because you think you know who did. But as a matter of fact, you know nothing. You are both guilty—meiely of jumping to conclusions. You refrained from ask- ing each other questions because each of you thought you knew the answer And each hesitate’ to force the other to any admission. Whereas I—as an outside onlooker— perceived at once that Bigelow suspected Anne of shooting Vronski and Anne suspected Bigelow whica proved that neither could actually have done it!” Eliminating Dryden IGELOW and Anne stared at him Both colored guiltily. but their eyes were shining as they turned ain to regi each other. “But you behaved as if you were guilty—?" cried Anne, protestingly. “1 didn’t,” deciared Bigelow em- phatically, “! couldn't have.

Myers News Press of Saturday, February 13, carried the following about the game played between the Key West Migh School varsity five and the Fort Myers High School Green Waves in that city last Friday night: “The maroon clad Key West cagers came from behind in the last quarter to tie the Fort Myers basket tossers at 28-all and then won the game by the margin of a single free throw which was the only score made during a three- minute overtime period. It was a rough and tumble game with Fort Myers losing because of the large number of fouls called on them by Referees Phillips and Richardson. “The Key West boys strated slow but got hot in the last five minutes of play, wiping outa five point lead held by Fort Myers and then winning when Woodson sank a free shot on a foul committed by Magill. Magill was playing a fast floor game and went out during the extra period when he com- mitted his fourth foul. He was re- placed by Briggs, and Woodson sank the winning shot as p!ay was resumed. Wave Slows Down “Woodson had a dead eye for the basketing netting five out of eight free thiows and scoring twice from the floor. Saunders with 10 points was high scorer for the islanders, Mitts sank five field goals for Fort Myers tut slowed down in the last quarter. In fact, all of the Fort Myers boys slowed down near the close of the game and did not zppear to be able to cope with the Key Westers’ c'osing rally. “At the end of the half, Fort My- ers was leading 12 to 11 and went on in the third quarter to estab-j Ish a five point lead. Then the tables tnrned with Saunders mak- ing his floor shots good after drib- bling down the floor at a pace too fast for Mitts to follow. Domenech played a fast floor game for Key West ‘and sank two. long shots to help h’s tetam win. 4 “Steenberg and Magill played the best floor games for Fort My- ers although M tts did most of the goal shooting. Magill sank three! running shots and Steenburgh got} two baskets near the end of the; game to keep Fort Myers in the! running. Steenburgh is the most! tmproved man on Coach Moye’s; squad end has made up for the early . season loss of Jack Beggs who moved out of town. Briggs, | Whitaker and Wheeler also scored | jfor the green and white. | j Coach Cools Off at “Coach Huddleston of Key West got exe'ted about the time in the | \lsst quarter and claimed that the! officials pro‘onged the game.
