they'll hold q workout at 7 o'clock
for the Christmas night game with

The game with the Townies once

very dull from the competitive
standpoint, the Liths cooking very
bad indeed, as the visitors threw up
o puzzling defense and held the To-
Gals to three points In tiresome

visitors.
Boley and Ferrie each collected
10 points to lead the Liths with
Hudobenko and Joyce contributing
