Sfanlf,S Easy Victim

Little Falls high defeated Staples
high on the local floor Tuesday eve
ming by a far more decisive score than
in the previous game with that team,
80 points being tailed to the visitors
II. The score in the previous game
was l6 to l3.
Although the Little Falls team did
not play up to form, the victory was
a comparatively easy one. Abraham
son led in basket shooting for Little
Falls with four field goals and he
showed the most consistent floor work
of any local players. Weston, Staples
left forward, tied Abrahamson in bas-
ket shooting. He was fast and accur-
ate and was clearly the mainstay of
the Staples Quint.
The first half was more one sided
than the second, Little Falls leading
by a score of 19 to 9 at the end of the
half.
