And in the wake of a heartbreaking 14-7 loss to the Miami Beach Typhoons Saturday night, the Conchs are just sore enough to come through with a victory Fri- day. The Conchs had no excuses to offer this morning for their loss to Beach. They just faced a better | ballelub. The Beach was up for the tilt — the Conchs had an off night —~ they have one per season, seem- ingly. The statistics show that the Con- chs outplayed the Beach, but they could not gain ground when they rage it — the Beach could and id. The loss just about ruined Key West's chances for the Gold Coast Conference title. Only hope they have left is that Miami Tech may pin a loss on the Typhoons in their meeting Nov. 24. That would leave them in a tie with the Conchs who have conference tilts with South | Broward and South Dade left on their slate. The Conchs looked like winners for about five minutes in Satur- day’s ballgame when they drove for a touchdown on just 13 plays after taking the kickoff. But the Beach tightened its defense and the Conchs could not score for the balance of the ballgame. Mean- while, the Typhoons bit off their) yardage in big chinks to put the clincher on the Conchs Mike Cates, Bill Haney and Red Stickney were the key men in the Key West score. Working with pre- cision behind a finely functioning forward wall, they drove through the center and off tackle to go all the way from their own 15 yard line for a score. Red Stickney picked up the score their own 15 and moved it up to the 25. Kay went off tackle for 15 yards and a 15 yard penalty against the Conchs moved the ball inté Key West territory. Ed Levy and Kay moved the ball down to the Key West 25 on just three plays and Bill Steig slanted off tackle with a beautiful broken field run down to the Key West five. Kay then took a handoff from Steig and went all the way to the Jone foot marker before he was knocked out of pounds by Gene Favors. The Conchs then worked the ball down to the Beach 36 only to be set back with a 15 yard personal foul penalty. The Conchs were then forced to punt and Beach started an abortive drive that carried only to midfield before they punted. The half ended with the inter- ception of a Key West pass on the % yard line. Beach won the ballgame in the fourth quarter when Kay went 25 yards standing up with eight min-| utes to go. Colodny’s kick was good to end the scoring. Key West fought back hard with Stuart Yates and Bill Haney sup- plying the punch but they could go nowhere. The game ended with another Miami Beach pass interception.

Both Florida and Mississippi State had trouble hanging on to the ball but Florida tackle Buster Hill recovered one Gator fumble in the end zone for the only TD of the game.
