Sports 1S.
The st Anthony Alumni Alerts by
defeating the Sports on Tuesday
night, are the indicated champions
of the Central Maui Senior Basket
ball league.
The score of 30-1S does not indicate
the struggle that the Sports made in
a last effort to defeat the league
leaders. o My in the last minutes of
play did the Alerts gain a command
ing lead over the midget aggregation.
The Sports led off throwing the
first field goal within a minute after
the starting of the game. Hangai, the
Alerts star, followed up shortly after
wards only to again have the lead
taken by the Sports who scored an
other field goal. Then, a foul called
on the Alerts team which was con
verified into goal by Bonack gave the
Sports a three point lead over the
champions and caused CONSERVATION
in the ranks of the Alerts supporters
in the gallery. From hat time on
to the ending of the first half it was
tooth for tooth, the period ending
very nearly a tie.
Shortly after the play began in the
last half, however, all thoughts of a
Sports victory were dashed. A rally
by the Alerts rapidly placed then out
of danger and the Sports lost the &C
curancy in shooting that had been
the feature of their game in the early
stages. In this period of the contest
Hangai threw five consecutive goals
free throw. The game ended with
the score at 30-1S.
Saints Win Out
In the best and hardest fought
game that has been played in the
Central league and the only one of the
series that has gone into an extra
period the Saints nosed Kahului out
of a victory and won by the score oil

all appearances an easy Saints vic
tory, Kahului scoring only four points
in the two quarters while the Elders
gathered nine. In the third quarter
Sanders scored four more by throw
ing two field goals before play had
fairly gotten under a But that
was all for the Mormon lads in that
period. and Kahului came back
strong, ending the third quarter with

After one minute of rest the five
minute extra period began and for
about four minutes each team fought
a hard battle to secure an additional
score. II was Sanders the Mormons
leader that finally threw the field
goal that brought victory TO the
Saints shortly before the whistle
blew.
Cup Race
Present figures in the high score
cup race practically assure R~odrigues
of first place when the series closes.
Sanders, who remains the only com
petitor in the running did not great
ly improve his score in Tuesday
nights game. The Wacs player is

Hangai has played his last game in
the series and though now second

Larsen also are out of the running.
each having los points and only one
game to play. 1t is not probable THAI
they could even tie the present score
held by Rodrigues.
Should Sanders win the cup the To-
cal gym will have to be the scene of
brilliant basket shooting during the
remainder of the Saints games to be
played.
Tonights Game
Second place in the league stand
ings will be determined tonight when
the Hi School meets the Wacs.
Should the Wacs defeat the Hi
School all doubt will be settled CON
corning the second, third and fourth
place. On the other hand should the
HI School win they will have second
place and should the Saints defeat
the Sports in the second game, third
position will remain in doubt. Tues
day the Wacs and Saints meet in
what promises to be the big battle of
the year and should the Saints win
the game they would be tied with he
Wacs for third honors. Whether or
not that would lead to an extra game
