Finlayson Takes Double Header.
(Robert Sandback)
The F inlays n basketball team
started out with bang! On Friday
November 20, they met McGrath on
the home floor and won both an A
team and a B team game.
In the A team game it seemed very
doubtful who would win until the
final play. In the first half, the two
teams see-sawed back and forth, first
one team taking the lead, then the
other. Although Finlayson led all
through the second half, the margin
was so little that one could not say
either team had won until the game
ended.
The final score was II to IL with
George Carman scoring the points
to put Finlayson in the lead and tc
win the game. Logan of McGrath
the sparkplug of the team, was hurt
in the second quarter, but came back
into the game. His injury, however
prevented him from playing his best
game.
In the B team game, Finlayson LED
from the first basket to the last, the
score at the half being II to in
their favor. The game ended with
the final being % to in Finlayson's
favor.
