DAVIS HOOP PLAY
IS STILL RAGING

CAMP DAVIS, Jan. 15.-Double-
barreled action between the 584th
and 111th Bins. featured Camp
Davis basketball tournament play
last night at Farnsworth Hall. In
the opener the ll1th EN- downed
the 584th EN-, 0-32 but the 584th
Officers avenged this result with
a convincing 56-25 triumph over
the 111th Officers.
Although Thompson of the 584th
Enlisted Men scored % points they
were not enough to repel the 111th
which team staged a furious last
period assault after trailing for
three quarters. Seventeen tallies
were garnered by Thompson in the
first half as the 584th held on to a
slim 1917 advantage. Not much
netting was produced in the third
stanza after which the 584th led,
24-22. It was here that Carroll
found the range for the 111th with
five timely baskets and spanked
his teammates to better deeds and
ultimate victory. Krumtinger and
Waugh were chief aides to Carroll
in the final uprising.
An entirely different outcome
was reached in the Officers meet
ing. Off to slow start, the 584th
courts3ers finally clicked for nine
field goals in the second period
and were out in front, 56-25, at the
half. Davis and Cover did most
of the caging. After a scoring 1ull
in the succeeding frame Davis
dribbled in for frequent layups and
one-handers, accounting for six
baskets and a new. tournament
high of "a points for the evening.
The losers 25-point total was d.
vided between Kee and Dayton.
The former hoped 10 markers
while Dayton contributed three
field goals and a foul.
The win enabled the 584th Off
GERS to deadlock the 117th EN- for
first place in the camps Ameri-
