only seconds to play, but the
sensational shooting of Gordon
Carver, Lucky Strike forward,
snatched the plum from the local
teams hand.
Carver pinned the defeat on the
local quint as he pulled a Grip and
charity shot, after John Tsantes
had put WCC in a 55-54 lead. Al
Collie started the hide rolling in
the initial quarter as he sank a
Grip which was followed by Car
ver's tally to even the score %.
Collie again returned the bucket
with Tsantes, and Pridgeon, fol-
lowed by his side and started an
80 lead. Shuler Lofts hit the
basket, with Carver, adding Il
caper to end the initial session
14-11 in the visitors favor.
The college quint was trailing
throughout the second quarter and
never managed to pass the Ciga-
rette- makers, but tied in the
last portion of the stanza when
Ludie Groom sank a push shot,
and Lofts again found the range
and Lucky Strike took a 1926
lead at the halftime.
Collie reopened the third mission
with pay-off Grip and Beak Tsan-
ties tailed six points along with
Croom's five and R.. L. Church's
lone goal to put the University five
in a one point lead again but Car
yer and Cheek proved too intimate

Coach Willis Casey had asked tc
postpone the meet because sew
