Northwest Chair. Roy Rockets,
Woodmen of the World and Puy-
allup Christian Church were
crowned as champions of their re-
spective classifications in final
games of the annual Pierce County
basketball tourney at Lincoln high
last night.
The Chairmen scored a fair per-
centage of shots in the Glass A
game, while the Orting Club Cafe
could not. The score was 1924.
In the lowest scoring final
game In the history of the
tourney the Roy club finally
edged out Central Lutheran,
"a to 20, to capture the Glass
B crown.
In an exciting and unorthodox
first half Woodmen of the World
piled up a 21-10 margin over Fife
Merchants, then went on to win,
SO to 33, in spite of a late rally
by Fife.
AS was seen in earlier play Puy-
allup Christian Church had too
