put up such a barrier around the
basket that the local forwards
found considerable difficulty in
breaking through which account
ed for the fact that they failed tc
make as high a score as in the
previous games of this season, in
each of which they chalked up So
points. Faith Burnsed was the
high scorer for the P~antherettes
with IA points to her credit. Only
two fouls were called against the
Pascagoula girls who managed to
convert eight of their ten foul
shots against the Squaws into pay
dirt.
Panthers Fail To Click
The Panthers just couldn't seem
to get together in their battle
against the Indians. The local
boys couldn't break into the clear
under the goal and when they
tried the ball was often intercept
ed. The Indians showed a smooth
working aggregation against the
Panthers. The local team has good
individual players and two of the
outstanding forwards in this Sec
ton in Jerry Purdy and NARROW
Miller but the team didn't click
as a unit Friday night. Usually
Sturgeon Lachaussee is on the
ball picking off rebounds but Fri
day he got very few. Lee was the
outstanding player for the Ind
ians and also the high scorer
Purdy and Miller shared high
scoring honors for the Panthers
being within n point of each
other. ~~N
Rounding out the program were
two B string games with the Pas
cagoula girls winning 1923 and
the boys losing 1918. The boys
losing score came despite two
points donated to them by a MEM
Der of the Biloxi squad who be-
came confused after the half and
shot the ball through the Pasca-
goula basket in the mistaken be-
lief he was scoring for his own
team.
Pascagoula will meet Laurel on
the hardwood Friday night at the
Pascagoula gymnasium and on
Saturday the Panthers and Pan
therettes will play Gulfport here.
This is the second time the Pasca-
goula teams have met Gulfport
and both boys and girls won their
games in the previous encounter.

but Kiln did not appear and the
game was won by forfeit, which
advanced the Eagles to the semi
finals.
On Saturday afternoon, the
Eagles played the boys from Sue
cess high and after trailing for
three quarters, the Eagles, led
by Charles Olsen, opened an Of
tense that took the Success team
by surprise. o. l.. v. tied the
score when the final whistle blew
and the Eagles were Sc to SO for
Success. Charles Olsen, with 20
points, was high scorer for the
Eagles while J. Rouse was high
point man for Success with 10
points.
The Eagles met the Lyman
cagers for the finals and the game
proved a close one throughout
with the score 1899 at the whistle
In a five minute extra period
to break the deadlock the o. L.
v. team went into action and at
the end of the period led the boys
from Lyman by the score of 49-
43. Douglas Dubisson of the
Eagles was the high scorer with
20 points and Webb with a total
of Is points was high scorer for
Lyman.
Playing for the champs were:
Alfred Moore and Dubuisson, for
wards; Charles Olsen, center;
Donald Olsen and Matt Zelenka,
guards; Donald Brimm and Joe
Mansfield, substitutes.
