2 Chase Wallops Benrus 50 to 12

In the preliminary game of the evening the League Leading Chase Combine took the lead over Benrus early in the first period, and en- larged it to win 50 to 12 after four periods of play.
 For the victors, Chase it was their 9th win in nine starts, with Jack Traver, Dave Karpovich, and Henry Koch playing an All Around Bang Up game for Chase. These three boys together threw up 38 of their teams 50 pts, during the course of this one sided ball game.
 For Benrus it was the beginning of the end when their high scorer and Ace ball carrier Norm Levine was knocked off in the early part of the third period with four fouls on him.
 The final score of this game was 50 to 12 in favor of Chase.
 DUSTY LEAGUE MINUTE MANI
 This weeks Dusty League Min ute Man" in my opinion is Dave Karpovich the very fast and dimin- utive Right Forward of the Chase Squad, who through his fine ball playing in behalf of his team, was one of the men responsible for the first place that Chase now holds in the League. Dave was a fine All Around basketeer, and many a time did he come through in a pinch to pull his team out of hot spot, with either his deadly accurate shooting or his clocklike Precision Passing which made Dave Karpovich, one of the best Basketeers in the City this year. Now however, Dave is going to enter the service of his country, the U. s. Navy. On this Friday, Chase loses one of its most valuable All Around Basketeers and the Navy gains a valuable addition to its ever increasing Al fighting staff.
 Dave is my first choice as this weeks Dusty League Minute Man" he is the first but not the last!
