ment in Glasgow next week. The
loss was a bitter one to the Wolves,
whose team had sustained but one
other reverse during the season, and
hat from a Glass A team. On the
other hand, there was no question
about the winners victory. Bill
Thompson, Walt Waters and Dean
Seller all had the range and cashed
in on a high percentage of shots,
while Guards Kenneth Viste and
Doug Erickson turned in a fine de-
fensive game.
Forward Herman Bushman of the
losers played the best game for the

itely off.

side shot. Seller hooked one in from
the fore court and Thompson
counted from the corner. 1t was 4-2
for Nashua. Seller converted a foul
shot and then his one-hander from
20 feet out split the cords. Free
by Wolf and NORM brought
it to IA. Bushman stole the ball and
scored and Norm counted on a long
pass from Casey. Seller converted a
gift toss to make it 8-8 as the fast
quarter ended.
The second was definitely a big
1ne for Coach Larry O'Connor's
P%orcupines. Viste, Waters, Seller
and Thompson all were in the Scor-
ng, while the Pointers were able to
make but one field goal and a free
throw. The halftime score was PILL.
Nashua pierced the Wolf offense .
'gain during the third period and
gain had the scoring advantage to
cad 1920 as the quarter ended.
BY midway through the final per-
cd the Porcupines had built up a
.7-30 lead, never slowing down. The

ng the attack, but the winners kept
'ace with them and the game ended
