Page é THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, January 21, 1952 KEY WEST HIGH DEFEATS REDLANDS 48-44 Favored Court Team Bows To K. W. Basketball | Squad Sat. Night Key West High Lesa ketbail hopes night when the Conchs took the measure of a favored Redlands High School court aggregation by a score “of 48-44 at the High) School auditorium. The local} boys held command of the sit- bas- | uation throughout and never re- linquished an early lead. Had their shooting eyes been a_ bit sharper, it might have been a rout. With Jim Baker and Bob Cooper leading the attack, the Conchs jumped into the lead in the opening minutes of play and throughout the opening quarter held the visitors to only a couple of field goals. The tight Key West defense kept the visitors from getting the ball into po: tion for a well set shot and was a thing of beauty to see. Conch Jones rotated his charges regularly with every boy on the Conch bench seeing action throughout the contest and they managed to build up a 27-19 lead during the first half. Dur- ing the third period the visitors matched the Conchs point for point pulling to within five points of the local boys. In the final stanza, with de- feat staring them in the face, the upstate boys launched a frantic rally which was stymied as the Conchs tightened an al- ready superb defense. Bob Coop- er, with less than two minutes to play, and the lead cut to two points, dropped in a pair of field *goals that put the game on ice. The classy Conch ball-handling paid off in the closing minutes of the game as the White Street boys kept possession of the Sphere and quashed any Red- lands hope of pulling the game out of the fire. Again it was Jim, Baker and Cooper who led the local scoring attack with 19 and 11 points re- spectively. Ken Bazo played his usual fine defensive game. Fria’ and Aldridge each dropped in 7 counters for the losers. Redland’s much vaunted scor- ing ace. Underwood, was held at three points which marks the first time this year that he has failed to connect for at least 13 in any one contest The totals: KEY WEST GF s Cooper 6 111 Baker ‘8 3:19 Lones 12 4] Bazo 31 7 Sawyer 000 Ousterhoudt 000 Gonzalez 000 Henriquez 0 3 : Norveil 00 Vidal 20 19 10 48 REDLANDS GF Friar 4 412; Saunders 33 9 Underwood are Mosely 000 Engle 000 Aldridge 4412 Williams 2.62 14.17 4 Hialeah Expects Record Play MIAMI (—Opening ceremonies over, Hialeah Park gallops into its | first full week of action today with every indication that the track will | hit an all - time peak in pari - mutuel play during the 40 day | meeting. For its first three days, the pic- ture book track handled 13 per cent more money in its betting machines than for the correspond- ing days last year and five per | cent more than the record 1946 season. This is in line with whopping gains registered at Tropical Park, which opened the Florida racing season with wagering 28.9 per cent above the previous season and about 14 per cent more than the record meeting in 1946. Hialeah’s showing the first three days was made in spite of warm summery weather that sent many northern visitors to the beaches in- | stead of the track. Cool, cloudy weather brings out Florida's larg est racing crowds.
