an offensive in the second half that
was unstoppable.
Hurst, Hines and Delozier did
most of the damage, scoring "a
of the teams 20 points.
Art Geib and Bob Erskine paced
the losers but their efforts were
futile against the smoother Golden
State attack.
Close Battle
The 20-30-H Hardware game was a
nip and tuck battle from start to
finish with the Hardware showing
stronger defensive.
The Hardware took a lead in
the first 80 seconds of play and
continued to increase their lead
throughout the first quarter. In
the second quarter the 20-30 attack
began to function and as the half
ended Sheffield Gagged setup to
bring the score to 1913.
In the second half the teams
fought on even terms and the 20-3O
club was able to shave but one
point from the Hardware lead
Lambeth led the Hardware at
tack with nine points and Misen-

20-30.
