on teamwork than did New Lon
don.
The first quarter found the To-
Gals leading IL to 2. Dubois lead
the scoring with three goals,
O'Gara followed him with two, and
Cook trailed with one. New Lon
don took theirs on two free shots.
The second quarter saw the Lon
doners creeping up and the half
ended with the locals one point
ahead with the score at IS to IL.
Fouls figured heavily in this game
with nearly every man that played
with one or two chalked against
him. The locals counted seven
points from converted free throws,
while New London took just half
of their % points through this
medium.
The second half found plenty of
substitutions and Johnny Dubois
led the local scoring with three
counters. O'Gara counted with an
other one, and Cook took two. Du-
Bots, Sieben and Carpenter figur-
ed with six points in free throws.
The Londoners converted only two
goals during the final half, but
they picked up ten points on foul
shots converted.
These fellows play for the pure
fun of it, and with as little practice
as they have played a pretty fair
ball game. They certainly have the
scoring punch which in the long
run is what counts.
