 Hollmann High Scorer
 Holman, Veteran Fireman for ward and team captain, was the handspring of the smoke eaters machine. He scored IA points on five field goals and four from the gift line, and his floor work was excellent. Connors and Garn, op- rosite Holman, showed lack of practice and were much below par in their marksmanship.
 Erskine and Lindstrom scintil- lated for the Moose offense in the first half but were practically stopped dead for the rest of the
