In the first week end game,
played with St Matthew's Thurs
day night on their home floor, the
Saints started fast, shooting rapidly
and accurately from the field to run
The Libby attack began to function
in the second quarter and with nice
passing and ball-handling together
with their only accurate shooting Of
the trip, the quintet closed the gap
to l4-12.
The Saints started hard fought
second half by connecting for two
fast baskets. From that point on
the Terriers began to chew off the
Saints lead Going into the last
quarter, Libby was trailing by a
single point with the score 20-l9.
During the first four minutes of the
final quarter neither team was able
to score until Libby went into the
lead for the first time Shortly af-
forwards Libby scored again to gain
three point advantage. A Saint
basket closed the margin to one point
with less than a minute to go. Egg
CERT then pitched a free throw to
give Libby a two-point lead and the
ball game, 24-22. Sleizer's shoot
ing in the second half was feature
of the game, making of 10 shots
from the field. The Saints were
strong defensively, allowing the
Terriers very few close-in shots
Brewer and Richardson officiated

there is a difference between being
intoxicated and being under the in
fluence of liquor. William Schnell

ed in district court of drunken driv-
ing. He appealed to the supreme
