and was valuable on rebounds off
the blackboard.
Masing and Krupp broke loose
in scoring rash, Dave totaling %
points while Masing scored 21.
Both men played little during the
final quarter when Coach Willbond
sent his second team into action.
Masing won the nickname of
Amazing" during the game as
most of his shots seemed impos-
sible. He was guarded by the tall
Dale Muenzer and was forced to
loop his shots over Muenzer's
head. Some of Masing's trick
shots were definitely spectacular.
Krupp and Masing won't be able
to score so highly against
strong team, but they had their
fun against Elmore.
Port Clinton was never in dan
ger, leading 13 to 8 at the quarter;
30 to II at the half, and SO to 81
at the three-quarter mark.
Bill Riddle, Dick Blaskis, Scott
Franck, Eugene Ohm, and John
Lukac played most Of the final
quarter.
Don Egert, Elmore forward,
was top scorer for his team by
snaring 18 points. Willard Ever
sole and Dale Muenzer each
scored nine points.
Reserves Win
Coach Mel Carl's reserve team
came through with a victory in the
first half of the double header, de-
feating Elmore seconds 81 to 80.
Dick Blaskis and John Rosiar tied
for scoring honors, each getting
13 points. Bill Coon and Owens
had five each while Dick Jensen
made free throw point.
Only 2l fouls were called
against both teams by officials
Bender and Herbert.

REDSKINS REMAIN UNDEFEATED
AFTER WALL LOPINC Gilmore TEAM

With Amazing" Masing and
Dave Krupp hitting the basket
with regularity, Coach Norm
Willbond's Redskins came through
with their fifth consecutive VIC
tory Wednesday night to defeat
the visiting Elmore Bulldogs, 65
to 49,. and thus earned the rest
promised by the holiday vacation.
The Redskins will not be in ac-
ton again until Friday night,
January z, when the Bellevue
Redmen come here for what
she'd be one Of the toughest
games on Port Clinton's 1948-49
schedule.
Wednesday nights game was
not an indication of the type of
basketball our Redskins are cap
able of playing. The Elmore
team proved rangy but inept, thus
the Bulldogs forced the Redskins
to play loosely.
Bill BelshaW, slowly recovering
from his recent pneumonia at
tack, entered the game during the
second quarter and received a
rousing cheer from the Redskin
fans.
Belshaw repaid his friends by
sinking a long basket within two
seconds after he entered the game.
Coach Willbond permitted Bill to
play for only a short period, due
to his weakened condition.
Curt Wepler, who has been
substituting for Belshaw, thrilled
the crowd early in the game when
he connected on two long shots.
John Lukac also played during
three periods and is proving to be
a spunky defensive player.
Bill Fritz may not score many
points, but the lanky forward is
q demon on defense. He ruined
several sure shots for the visitors
