Al Coopcr's clan took the floor with
out Tommy Barlow in the line. UP and
played better ball. Bernie Dunn and
Teddy Kearns formed a stellar defense
and the former split even with Soup
Campbell at two baskets, while the high
school youth did not allow Roy Steele
a single goal and dropped two into the
net.
Potters Lead at Start
The visitors led at the start and soon
were ahead at 10 !. but the home
talent evened the score and the figures
were also even at q and s. The half
ended in deadlock at 10. During the
initial twenty minutes Al Cooper's can
made FIVE field goals to two and failed
to roll up good lead when they missed
all their foul tries, eight in number.
In the second half each side had
made two field goals until the final
thirty seconds, when Eddie Dolin came
through with the shot that tied up the
proceedings. Then Neil Dieghan's bas-
ket ran the Skecters' 2-pointers up TO
six and at that the Potters were one
field goal ahead at the finish. The defeat
dropped Trenton to second division.
