and it was, to great extent, the
work of Amber's sturdy forward,
Thomas, who tossed five field goals
and two foul throws in the second
round, that enabled the Amber en-
try to grab the gonfalon. Citizens
and Ivie were the only other Amber
players to register during the cham.

throws and two field goals, both
made in the second half Steelman
forward, led the Ninnekah scoring,
