FIRST HALF So

With Pete Campbell back in their

doomed up formidable enough last
night to cop the bacon In the game
with the Oaks on the Kuzusko hall
court last night. 1t was after an
uphill battle however hat the boys
supporting the doctrines of Eddie
Clinchey were able to be termed the
victors. The final tally was 1915.
The Initial administration resulted
8-6 in favor of the Timber" lads.
The final stanza found the Owls in a
real shooting squirt being able to
cage the pellet from the field when
ever an open opportunity afforded 1T
self. The game wound up with two
great shots by Booz and Campbell
right in succession too, SO that the
fans were hardly given time to
breath. They r both one hand
shots the kind which makes n sit
up and take notice. These goals in
cidenta1ly won the contest.
The Owls went into the second
half determined to win. having lost
the last Few games >layed. And their
determination spelled victory. OF
course. Clinchey's roofing should be
considered too, when laursls are be-
ing passed out.
Seiboth could o. get Smith or
Thomas to play since neither had,
until last night. overcome from the
effects of the Iroquois ball. Camp
bell and Booz played in great style
and Luke oliver showed fine form
too. The guarding of the Schantz
