E, Price of Miami, Florida Year-Round Club's titlist, moved up in the eighth annual Miami- Biltmore Amateur Four-Ball Up Position Lions Club last night “roared” on | to a 43-31 victory and Island City Basketball League lead. Taking the floor a half-game behind the then pacesetting Bears, Lions reversed the stand- ings and dropped Pandora into a three-way tie for secand place, which developed when U.S, Ma- rines downed High School in the nightcap of the twin bill. Clubbers pulled away from the Coast Guardsmen early in the second period and ended the con- test with 11 points to spare. Sharpshooting by Joe Pinder and Chester Knowles kept the Civic cagers cut in front, despite con- sistent scoring on the part of Mc-| Kay, ace of the Pandora five. At half-time the Lions were ahead five points and stretched the margin to 10 in the third. A rough and tumble battle de-} veloped in the closing minutes of the game as the Bears made a gallant attempt to come from be-| hind. Brock, who scored 14 markets in his first appearance on the Angel of Mercy five last | week, was off-form est night, sinking only one field goal and ee shot. He committed four al fouls, more than half the number charged against the whole team. Pinder and McKay tied for scoring honors, each netting 17 points. Knowles was next with 14. Lions sunk five out of eight charity tosses and Bears nine out of 18. Victors miscued 13 times.

Lions also registered the highest score, a 71-34 victory over VP53,. December 13. Devil Dogs shot ahead first quarter last night and al- though the Students staged a hard fight all the way it was only a question of how: many points L in the held a 12-point lead at half- time and increased it! to 27 at the conclusion of the fourth period. For the first time in four games, the Marines put their full first team on the floor. The re- turn of sharpshooting Ensign Laney completed the regular lineup. Laney wasted no time running up his total points, sink- ing 12 field goals and a penalty shot. Close behind came “Long- Shot” Solenbarger, who fattened his second-half total by 21 mark- ers, 14 baskets and a free throw. For the Studets, Anthony Me- Mahon, 15, and DeWitt Roberts, 10, were outstanding. High Schoal maintained its rec- ord of committiag the least num ber of fouls by miscuing just five times to nine for the Marines. The varsity cagers sunk over ‘ half of their penalty tosses, while the Devil Dogs netted just two out of seven Other high scores in played this season include 68-36 triumph over Army (Feb. 5), Marines 61-37 (Jan. 6) and 61-23 (Feb. 17) previous victories over High School and their 59-32 trouncing af Army (Jan. 20) Box score U.S. Marines (68) FG Teague Lions’ Player Waysack Thompson Solenb Laney McGregor Hunt rger jcago and George Becker, ;nesday night. | meet Felix Gonzalez, local wel- | night’s boxing card. “iden in New York and in other Tourney yesterday with a 4 and| jand Miss Eleanor Foster, 6-3, 6-2, |5 ‘itera aver a Daytona Beach | witnessed by a lange and enthus- pair. iastic gallery.
