the way. Even so, Marysville fol-
lowers had some uneasy moments
in the third quarter when per-
sonal fouls began piling up on
their boys, and the Indians hit a

Monarchs had left the game on
fouls, as seemed probable, Mt.
Gilead might easily have come
from behind to win.
The Monarchs began early in
the game outscoring their oppon-

Marysville was in front 20-7.

|SHAMROCKS UPSET NCO'S
 BY SINGLE FIELD GOAL

Records mean nothing to Palm CTS Shamrocks-especially when those records belong to visiting squad. The local basketball team proved that Saturday night when it downed the NCO club, Post champions, just as they would any other basketball team.
 Not that the Shamrocks had an easy time of it. They event ually won by a score of 39 to 37, but there was never a moment in the final quarter when the out come wasn't actually in doubt. Jumping ahead to an early lead in the first quarter, while the NCO club was getting it's court legs on Palmer's unique floor, the Shamrocks piled up seven points before the NCO five scored a single marker.
 That was as large a margin as either squad held all evening. The local quintet held a slight edge at every quarter break in the game. However midway in the fourth and final period, the visitors broke a 31-31 tie to whip into three-point lead.
 With that slight margin, they elected to change their game tactics. They switched to a man to man defense and began rush. ing the ball, which was poor strategy as far as the Shamrocks were concerned on Saturday night. Twice the local five snatched the ball from the hands of their visitors and hustled down for buckets. They led by four points going into the last three minutes, but the NCO club had the crowd on its toes when it whittled that lead in half be- fore the final whistle. Both clubs tried and missed frequently in that final three minutes.
 Shamrock manager Art Stacey termed the game the finest play
Valley frontiersman., 1948-03-10

ed in the Palmer gym this year. A crowd pleaser from start to finish, the Stacey-coached men were ahead at the final whistle just because they early had made up their minds that was where they were going to be. They took advantage of every break the game offered them and made the most of just the plain funda- mentals of basketball they've learned so well.
 Wright's Girls, playing cur tain-raiser on Saturday night, walked away from the Post Sig nal squad to win as they pleased.
 The next, and probably final, appearance of the Shamrocks on the local floor this season will be on March 20. The home squad has a date with the An chorage Moose five that night. There is some conversation be- tween GI managers of Post teams and MT. Stacey concerning an appearance at the Post gym, but to date it's not gone past the talking stage.
