Sank Centre Won
Game-Lost One
((N0n finIad from Para Onal

In q tipping onslaught that
touched off the scoring spark for
the locals Walker netted the first
shot of the game from the initial
tip off. The local attack fluttered
throughout the first half, while an
indolent Alexandria crew with the
confidence born of long winning
streak stood back and watched
this team Ego to town." Walker,
Brendon, Arvig, and Hoffman all
scored for the locals during the
first half and at the half time mar
ker were leading the Black and Red
crew 10 to IA.
But Alexandria came out a new
team at the halftime. With Fable,
Urness, and Sturnick leading in
scoring thrusts Alex showed bursts
of speed and offensive ability that
threatened to win the ball game. It
was just at the close of the third
quarter when they jumped into the
lead at % to 81 In the final stance
when a Sank Centre outfit, dazed
by the retirement of Arvig and
Brendon on fouls, battled desper-
ately to again come to the fore,
Alex marched on to 80 points to
win the game.
At the close of the first quarter
the locals executed one of the most
effective plays. Arvig LACED up to
mid court dribbling the ball. Walk
ez weaved in and out in the lower
court. Suddenly the pass was slap
ped to Walker. Pivoting he tossed
a short pass to the breaking Arvig
who tipped in a shot to put the 10
Gals in the lead 10 to 8 as the quar-
ter ended.
Alexandria had their clicking
plays, too. In a beautifully executed
play the lanky duo, Fable and Ur-
ness, figured for score. Urness at
the center tip off tipped the ball TO
label. Then breaking fast he took
the return pass from label to cut
in close to score. This tall duo
proved their effectiveness as a
scoring threat.
The local lads, determined to
take this ball game and end vic
tory string of seven games, were
driving hard and netted good
many shots. Fouling mounted high
as an over-anxious team threatened
to do the very thing they set out to
do. Brendon and Arvig, of the HAIR
veymen, and Dahlsten, of Alexan-
dria, were all retired on personal
fouls. It will be noted that most of
the foul shots were given to label
and Urness. These men are uncom-
monty tall, and are rendered i'm
mune from effective guarding. A
player is much more liable to COM
nit fouls on q taller man.
Sank Centre "B" 10; Alex ''B" 26
Setting the pace for the first
half the local seconds were held
without a single score during the
last half to be downed by the Alex
seconds 26 to 10.
Led by Kringen, at forward, HAIR
vey's BIS threatened to walk away
with the ball game. Kringen long
on scoring honors took three bask-
cts in the first half and Pangburn
took one. At halftime they led 10
to 8.
Employing q fast breaking Of
Tense Alexandria stepped out in the
next two quarters and took sixteen
points while the locals were held
scoreless. At times the local de-
fensive looked good, but the quick
break got them. Their offensive
f1uttered on several occasions dur
ing the last half, but 1t didn't take
wing. Their passing attempts were
somewhat erratic, and their de-
fensive had a tough job to set be-
fore that mob Of rushing Alextans
was upon them.
