ket was thrown until four had been
added. Then there was another
slump, during which three scores
were added by the f~ree-throw route.
Anotherspurt on the part of the locals
near the close of the game added two
more field baskets. While the visitors
improved somewhat in their play dur
ing the last half, they were outclassed,
and made but one field basket dur
ing the entire game. During the last
half they made five free throws, CIV
ing them a total OF eight points for
the game, against 81 for the home
