SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1945 CONCHS PREPARE FOR TOUGH FIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT AT MIAMI BEACH Miami Beach Opened Season With 37-7 Win Over Red- lands In Game Tuesday Night t By FRED MILLER, JR. i Key West High School's bas-} ketball varsity is expecting a very! tough fight next Tuesday night.| It is then they will meet the mighty Miami Beach High Ty-} phoons at Miami Beach. } Beach Typhoons opened their season Tuesday night and gave) every indication that they are as good or better than they were last year when they captured the | trict championship. Tuesday eve- ning they beat Redland by a 38 to 7 score. That sounds more like football than basketball. i Forward Bert Stone was the hero of the Beach-Redland game, scoring eleven points. You will remember him as the boy who represented South Florida in the Esquire magaziae’s All-America Boys Baseball game in New York earlier this year. He is appar- ently as good at basketball as he is at baseball. Other players who stood out in the Beach-Redland game were Ser, guard; Tesher, guard, and Rich, center. All of these boys are well known to the Conch var- sitymen. The Miami Beach team will play in Key West High School gymnasium January 4. Names Players Coach Fred Hoffmeister yes-! terday released the names of the! players who will probably make the trip to Miami Beach. There; is a possibility some of the boys) may be forced to remain home} because of Christmas holiday] jobs at the Postoffice. 1 Players selected: Kenneth Kerr, | Kenneth Meador, Curry Herring, | Robert Cruz, team captain; Oscar} Cruz, Albet Parra, Clayton Papy, Kenneth Larson Galey Sweeting} and Adolf Lastres. ! The team will travel in two! cars. One will be driven by Clay-| ton Papy and the other by John Monsalvatge, a cheer leader. Preparations are being com- pleted for the trip and another practice game will be held. Adult tickets will be on sale over’ the holidays for the Miami Beach-Key West game. in Janu- ary. All varsity players, mana- gers and cheer leaders will ‘have the tickets for sale.
