Chester came 70 Wilmington yester-

by the Highlets. Conquered is EXPRESS
ing IL mildly as the Ashton agsrega-
ton gave the larkin crew the lscing
OF their lives. when the Anal s'ore
was adjusted Il was found that VII
m.ngton was few ciuE blocks ahead

and thereby hangs a ta.e.
After l.5O0; fans had witnessed
walkover for hhe local grls in the pre-
liminary- -sanie against Tower HILL

After FIVE minutes OF playing u was
clearly evident as 10 the outcome.
When lAchenstein tossed in the mi
tlal goal, IL was the signal for the on
slaught and the local quintet never
let up until the timers final whistle
blew
Everything was tense as "Tuboy'
Gallagher tossed up the bal for the
start OF the battle. After a few min

through the basket. The crowd gave
cheer tina; shook the gym roof.
Load" Stirlith put one through the
net. but Crooks was caught fouling
and Lichenstein shot two.
Following this the Highlets' captain
made two more sensational shots from
the floor and the runaway was on.

points were the results OF three foul
