BY 64-28 Score


met head on in an intense heat for
a first half gave fans at a charity
ball game last Thursday on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's birthday anniver-
sary an exciting game that had
just about everything. But tired,
foot-weary team Of the National
Guard Headquarters Battery, play
ing their only game Of the season,
couldn't outlast the better game
condition Of the Junior College
Buccaneers. The Buccaneers won
81 to 35.
It was a game that pitted ace de-
fensive men and top offensive men
against one another. And had the
Guards been playing all season
some anticipated scoring and de-
fensive duels might have matured
and lasted throughout the game.
It was Stan Nelson, hurt in vir-
tually the last minute Of the game
when he turned his ankle in an eff
fort to stop Jim Pangburn's last
scoring attack, who moved on to
head the scoring. He took 26 points

But the difference In that ball
game was wrapped more than
ever I'm one lad. Jud COnlkey
played the ball game Of his
career. An early defensive
threat, he COPIED IS points.
Throughout the game against
one time team mate and top
flight scorer Jim Pangburn, he
played top defensive. Beside
that he was floor general with
Uncanny ability at tactics.
Pangburn even against Conkey
was having tough luck with his
shots. Shots that ordinarily might
have dropped for him refused to
be admitted to the hoop. Even
then he romped to high scoring
honors for the Guards with 10
points. Defensively Don Kringen
held the top spot for the Guards
For an entire first half he led Stan
Nelson to limited scoring aided by
Pangburn's defense.
An opening quarter was as even
race as could be found. It ended
tied at IL points. It was Tub
Scanlon's drive and offensive ag-
gressiveness who battled in for the
Guards. But tall, lanky Keldahl
and Kringen were moving in under
the basket. Keldahl turned out
to be hotter than a blacksmith's
forge and he Jumped three buckets
hand running to keep the race at
a fast pace. Only Conkey's in
dominitable ball handling saved the
BUGS from coming out second in
that opening quarter. A second
frame moved a bit slower. The
BUGS walked into the leading posi-
ton and there they stayed, but
not without a battle. Scanlon
swished one from mid court, Con-
key tied his. Then with Conkey,
Deziel and Nelson scoring the BUGS
lead at half time n. to,18
Nelson started moving in the
third, while the Guards had their
worst inning. The BUGS moved to
lead 38 to "a at the end Of the
third that left little doubt about
the game. Now Pangburn began
to hit too and taking virtually all
Of his 10 points in the last half
he lead the attack. In the opening
Of the fourth, now with Conkey
and the boys feeding him as the
defense opened, Nelyson hit four
buckets hand running. Pangburn
punctuated that sentence with one.
Then Nelson hit again followed by
Jackson and Conkey and then Mel
son again. BY this time the BUGS
had whipped up 2 to 1 count
against them, "a to 20. Scanlon
laying on back after he slipped,
tossed on in. Pangburn got a shot
that fell. Nelson and Hosmer add
ed points. It was Jim Pangburn
who ended the game shooting from
the hole position.
