Since the issue was confused for
several minutes after the game, the
Manual boys easily could have
started an argument, but they didn't
play it that way.
The Broad Ripple Rockets, their
courageous opponents, rightfully
earned their laurels, and staged a
magnificent rally to win a 26 to Is
decision.
Evidently Coach Frank Baird's
lessons in psychology are having an
effect, because his boys operated
last night on the old team that
won't be beat can't be beat" theory.
Time after time they came from
behind to tie the score or to gain
slender lead. Just as often the
Manuals started counter attack
and stayed in the game.
The count stood 25 to % in Man
ual's favor when Frank Reese, lit
tie lad, but mighty, hit for the
Rockets. Immediately the stands
went into Mysteries. The time
keeper sounded the horn to end
the game, but neither team heard it.
Taking the ball for one last des-
perate effort, Dick Gallamore, one
of Manuals heroes, dribbled TO the
center of the floor and looped in a
long shot.
Cheering sections from both
schools rushed down and lifted the
players on their backs. Manual
rooters, who we're seated across the
floor from the timekeeper's stand,
hadn't heard the horn, and they
thought their squad had won. Even
more jubilant were the Broad Rip
pie fans.
The Manual boys, their faces still
flushed with excitement, couldn't
hide their disappointment when
they were told they had lost, but
they jumped down off their admir-
ers' shoulders and marched off the
floor without protest.
When they were alone in the
dressing room, it was pretty hard
for boys even as game as they were
to take
Throughout the first period the
Manual team kept bearing down.
They forced the action every min
ute and gave the crowd one chill
after another as they swooped and
sWirled under the basket.
Nervous and self conscious, the
Broad Ripple boys couldn't start a
passing attack. The South Siders
grabbed a 6 to 0 lead and then the
Rockets called time out.
When they came back they
seemed better organized, and David
Mcqueen dribbled under the bas-
ket for their first score. Manuals
tall center, David Cohn countered
with similar shot, and the score
stood to in favor of the Red and
White team at the end Of the pc
Rod.
Reese and Carol Combs went to
work for the Rockets then and cut
Manuals lead down to one point.
Connecting with tough one-hand-
ed shot under difficulties, Combs
gave the nipples IL to IL edge
at the half.
Paced by Jack Hiatt, the Redskins
pulled away to 81 to Is advant-
age at the three quarters mark
Both teams used turtle neck"
defense and while it prevented
players from getting close shots,
they were perfectly open to try
them farther out on the floor.
Reese opened the last stanza by
making two field goals, and the
Manual boys looked like they had
drunk little arsenic. The contest
now centered around struggle for
the ball, and the players pushed and
showed and dove to get it.
But Reese, the smallest man on
the floor, was mighty enough to
prevail, and the Rockets triumphed.
1t was their second straight victory
of the year, and the second straight
loss for Manual.
