 Scoring Starts
 Scoring was started a few min utes after the opening horn by Schu- bert of the losers, his basket was soon offset by double toss via Han- sen of the Bremen. Jumping into the lead at an early stage of the game the winners were never head ed.
 Schubert managed to knot the count at 4-all but about this time A. Hautala took charge and pro- ceeded to ring the bell twice, with a long one from beyond the foul 2 line and a difficult push from the dark corner. Gilmore chalked one more for the clothing store boys and ended the figuring in the Henning column for the first quarter. Haul tala and Mclaughlin bounced their teams tally up to 13 before the first horn blew.
 Score at end of quarter, Bremen 13. Henning's 6.
 Second Inning

Hautala raised the Bremen ante to 25 points be- fore Henning's clicked again.

Score at half time was 30 to 18 in favor of the Smoke Eaters with Hautala, Hansen and Behrends con- tributing their quota to bring. up the tally. Pope and Gilmore dropped the last two baskets registered be- fore the midway bell.

Hautala came in with a brace of free throws and a back court heave to put things where they started. Metzgar coaxed fin- ger tip pass juggled by the Hauta- ia brothers and Tipped it home.
