WASHINGTON, Aug. II -
(P The winning American
thrust at the Solomon Islands

of hopping up remnants Of Jap.
anese forces apparently left
stranded there when enemy
war ships were destroyed or
forced to withdrawn.
The Navy said yesterday that
while the United States Marines
were busy with this task, lara
nese aircraft, destroyers and
submarines engaged in q casual
bombardment Of the newly won
shore positions. They inflicted
only minor damage. but . Japa-
nese destroyer or cruiser w1s

corroborating the general ~
sumption that the Marines have,
installed themselves in podtjoue'

be dislodged.
The Navy gave no details ~
the fighting, but observers piee-s
ing together today's news snd
that contained in previous com
muniques endeavored to recon-
struct the general course Of The
battle.
They recalled tl1nt previous
Navy announcements told Of a.
tacks on japanese shipping -
the harbors of the SoIomoaes
and a night battle between IL
American and japanese Naval
units, in which the latter were

The destruction or disabling
of ships in the harbor and IT,
defeat of the japanese flotillas
at sea obviously left the Japo-
nese troops on the islands cut
off. Many of them were killed

MEMORIAL HI SEEKS

red and white regulars held 20
point advantage in the second period
when the reserves took over. From
then on there was much substituting,
and the club never got into its stride
again, although there was never any
doubt about the final outcome.
Forward Culbert had the distinction
of scoring Gilbert's only basket in the
opening period, while this honor, al
though under entirely opposite cir
cumstances, went to Gordon Bird In
the final period. Ely went through the
first half of the last quarter scorless
until Bird garnered his basket.
The passing of Louis Senta played a
major part in counting the points dur
ing the first IL minutes, and Logar, on
the receiving end, connected with four
baskets in short order. During this
time the club gave an Al exhibition
of what can he accomplished when
everyone works together.
The air-tight defense that worked
so smoothly against Virginia the pre-
ceding week, again functioned well,
and if continued should help Ely make
Its mark before tournament competi-
ton is over.

Victory No. / fell into the hungry
arms of the Ely Junior ollege when 1t
defeated Brainerd, 1881, here Friday
night.
Leading all the way, the college went
through an entire game without a
letdown, which was the main reason
that the eight-game losing streak was
broken.
Tony Grahek, veteran guard, spanked
the club to victory with l6-point
exhibition Grahek rang the bell for
6 baskets and 4 free throws to set an
individual scoring record for the sea-
son.
Also for a change the club worked
well under the basket for the entire
route, with Ed Grahek and George
Perkovich coming in for the lions share
of this performance.
Brainerd had no end of trouble in
attempting to crack Ely's defense for
close-in shots, and confined its at
tack mainly to peppering the hoop from
fairly far out. Three of their men
were elected via the personal foul
route
With five minutes to go the score
was tied at Is all, and it looked like
possible repetition of the Duluth
game which the Bluejays took in the
final minutes. But Tony Grahek
figured differently. He hit the bas-
ket for two counters, as Ed Grahek and
Perkovich helped out the cause, and
with free throws by johnson and Mills
the game was in the bag.
