the Wildkittens to a 81 to Is vic
tory. This was a practice game
held at the High school gym yester-
day afternoon.
The Atomic Five had held a five
point lead from the second quarter
up until the last five minutes of the
contest. These boys ran wild dur.
ing the second period to run the
score up to 10 t. OIL at the half.
In the third quarter, coach West
told his boys to throw up a zone
defense which probably saved the
day for the Jaycees. This defense
prevented the Riverside team from
making more than four points in
that period.
The last quarter proved to be
the best by far as the Jayvees
slowly narrowed the four point
margin that the Atomic Five held.
Jere Hilburn sent a one hand hook
through the hoops followed by Lin
wood Taylor's Grip that sent the two
teams into. the deadlock
Leading the Wildkittens in scor
