CELTIC JUNIORS LOSE
TO PHANTOM RESERVES
Combination OF Block, 3ucllas and
Ginsburg Carries Team
to Victory

The basketball combination Of
Block. Buchas and Ginsburg was too
much for the Celtic Juniors and as
a result they were turnd back by
the Phantom Reserves last evening
at the Sacred Heart gymnasium,
81 to 20. This was the eighth game
won by the Reserves out of ~
games played and 1t was not until
the final stanza that the Phantoms
were able to do anything.
The Phantoms were out in front
at the end OF the first period Z to 6.
In this session Ginsburg scored
twice and Block once from the field.
while Crowley's two baskets and a
two pointer by O'Dell made the Gel.
tic scores. Both teams Jared little
better in the second period and
when the half was over the Phan-
tom Reserves were on top Is to 10.
1t was in the final session that the
Reserves were able to hit their
stride and once they did, baskets
we're flying In from all angles. The
Celtics tried desperately In the clos
in, minutes to bring their score up
but in vain for the lead of the Re-
serves was too great.
The feature Of the game was the
shooting OF Sid Block, Buchas and
Ginsburg for the Phantoms. Time
and time again these boys came
through for timely baskets to bring
the Reserves only in front. Thomey
the Celtics.
