A lanky guard-Roy Wallace

practically won the game for the Wis
itors by his great play. Not only
did Wallace demonstrate to the
gathering just how u guard position
should be played, but he shot one OF
the prettiest baskets OF the evening
IN the last quarter, when the score
was 70 to IS in favor Of his club.
y. Turner and Newman were high
point scorers for san Benito. each
making 8 points, while Phipps loop
ed the basket three times for a total
Of six points for Brownsville.
Inability to hit the center Of the
basket on many occasions, caused the
locals loss of several goals. Buster
Carver came 60 neal and yet so far
or many occasions az sinking the
oval into the basket, that it took the
breath of the spectators.
San Benito's speed stood out, and
their passing was good, and in Tur-
ner and Newman they presented .

an offensive thrust better than
could be mustered by the locals.
A total of ID fouls, eight for the
locals and six for San Benito, was
called by Referee Medley Newman,
whose work was the bright spot OF
the evenings entertainment. The
former San Benito high school pupil
kept the crowd as well as the players
in good humor throughout the con-
test, and his officiating was com
mended by all present.
The game. though holly contested,
was clean throughout, the players
