4l,o
photographers having a one-point
lead. They lost their ginger in the
second and after Cocheveity shot four

two goals.
Peerless Press Swamped.
The Peerless Press were defeated
by the Hellers by the largest score
ever piled up on an opposing team in
the seven years history Of the Y. Nj.

their work the previous week.

on free throws, in which he landed
{ successfully in seven out of II at
/ tempts. and r. Engdahl's five baskets
/ for a total of 10 points assisted in
piling up the score. Cell did well for
/ the Peerless Press people.
