The win was doubly sweet for the lo- cals who have been plugging along under a jinx that has seen them drop a lot of close ones . It looked like an old and familiar story in the opening moments of Saturday’s con- test when Tech jumped into a 18-8 lead. The halftime found the Conchs on the short end of a 24-22 lead but when they came back from “the locker room they opened | up with as pretty an offen- sive as. they have turned loose this season to date--- they actually outplayed the Miamians who were heavy favorites to cop a win. It was the fine Key West defensive play in the first half plus scoring efforts on the part of Glynn Archer and Stu Logun during the early minutes of the contest that kept the Key Westers in the ballgame. Repeatedly they trustrated the Miami efforts at working the ball in and their scravpy fighting under the basket bore fruit when the up- staters couldn’t get set to run up the score. The Conchs played a furious brand of ball in the first half and when the second aalf got under- way, they amazingly maintained their fast pace and actually out- ran theTech five to gain the win. 't was Gibby Gates and Jim- my Selomon who teamed up to supply the scoring punch when Gates dumped in eight points and Solomon scored for three field goals and a foul shot to contribute seven to the Conch cause. Solomon with 14 points, paced Son Gain Win In Golf Meet By a cut of a card, Mrs. Nell Lopez, wife of the KWGC pro, and her son Joey Jr., took the honors nament yesterday.

The foursome consisting of Bill (It’s about time) Plowman, Ward Tyson, Watts and Biero won with 101 points. Second place went to Larry Rouse, Bob Spottswood, Wilson Walker. and the Bench with 100. With No. 68 being pulled in the Blind Bogey draw, Joe Foley, Ward Tyson, Tony Demeritt and Capt. Boaz split the pot. To give those who state that the play on the local course is small, a check on Saturday’s rounds was kept. There were nearly 200 plays which consist of 50 foursomes or double what the course is equipped to handle. By this big number, the course was kept busy for a full eight hours from the tee to the SPORTS MIRROR By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO — Fred Wilt broke the American indoor two-mile run record.
