Lincolns lanky Abes poured the
heat on Bremerton's Cruisers last
night on the South Side floor and
won. 81 TO Al, TO take the lead IN
Cross-State basketball league play.
Before the game the Abes were
in second spot, but after the brush
off il was Lincoln that ruled the
roost. II was almost no-eontest.
The Abes. defeated by two
points nv Bremerton at the
outset Of the season. have inn
proved In marked manner.
The return Of Ing Thompson,
star. VINO WAS believed for a
while TO he out for the season
because of a leg injury. has
given the club added strength.
It appears more than ever now
that Lincoln will be the team to
beat IN the title race.
If the Abes can get over Ever
EFT in their next clash, the road
will be less tough. Everett beat
Lincoln by a whisker on the Ever
EFT court recently. The Abes
bumped into those tricky glass
bsckboards up Everett way.
Lincoln has won six. lost two.
Bremerton has won 5. lost 2.
The title will be just about de-
cided next week if Coach John
Kennedy's stalwart boys can step
over two major hurdles, Everett
and Stadium.
The Seagulls Tuesday night
come from the SmOkestaCk
City to meet the Abes on the
Abe floor. which il more or
less an advantage for the
South Siders.
Then the Abes Friday move into
the Stadium lair for their second
meeting. The Abes turned back
the Tigers in the initial contest.
Coach V. G. Lowman has lost sew

hit. The Abes should be high
