 The Liths did not have much dif- ficulty with the Klowns Saturday night, getting of to a 14-l first period lead as the visitors, who gave them a stiff tussle several weeks ago, were unable to score a hoop for l2 minutes. When they started to roll, they moved in a hurry, but their lS-po!nt second period per- formance was duplicated by the Knights leaving the LithS out front, 32-l9, at the half.
 Slim Jim McNally was good for l2 of the IS Klown points in the second quarters, while Joe Swasey celebrated the recent arrival of a baby daughter by cagiilg two hoops in each of the first two periods to combine with Joe Joyce and Joe Boley to set the early pace for the Knights.
