SURPRISES MARK CHURCH
BASKETBALL LAST WEEK
Lutherans Down MethOdiSts So
30; Episcopals Trim CathO-
lies 50-37

The Lutherans pulled a surprise In
the church basketball league last
Thursday night by topping the league
leaders, the Methodists, by score OF
SIS to 80, in a game that was marked
by good defensive work on the part OF
the Lutherans in the first half to gain
a commanding lead. The score at the
half was 25 to 6.
At the same time the Episcopals
won their first game by downing the
Catholics so to 81, placing those two
teams on a par. The Lutheran win
put that team in tie for first place
with the Methodists.
Thursday nights games completed
the first round and next Thursday
night the Methodists will meet the
Episcopals while the Lutherans will
meet the Catholics in the opening
night of the second round. Three
rounds will complete the season.
In the first game Crane, of the Epis-
copals, furnished the impetus that
placed them in the winning column, by
garnering 10 field goals. Pollock, Ed.
Hinebaugh, Dick Wolfe, Rollman,
Hardesty and Slaysman added the re-
mainder of points. McComas was
nigh scorer for the Catholics with 9
points. The Lutherans had three who
mad their eyes on the basket, White
garnering 16 points, Graves IL points
and Spoerlein 10 points. D. Stemple
was high scorer of the Methodists
with 7. Thirty-seven players saw
action.
