Victims Come 10 Life
After SheIIackinq
For Three Periods
By Bill Fuchs

came to life in the fourth period
but it's grave already had been
dug and the All-Highs coasted
to a 1888 triumph in the third
annual all-star game yesterday
at Uline Arena.
An estimated crowd of 1900
watched in surprise as the High
team poured it on almost at will
for three periods to enter the
final session in command by 20
points. But the Props, apparently
indignant, began playing as ex-
pected and actually outscored the
Highs, 22-12. But the margin was
too wide and the time too short
and the Highs walked off with
their second victory in the series.
The Highs won in 1947 and the
Props last year.
The Props looked to be crack
team in the final period, but they
didn't belong on the same floor
with the Highs in the first ses-
sion. Jimmy Pantos hit for two
buckets and foul and Bob Cur
tbs of Tech pocketed a foul to
give the Highs an 80 edge at
the 3-minute mark. The game
was 6 minutes old before Roger
Kingsbury of st. Adams pushed
In a two-hander to give the
Props their first and only field
goal of the period.
Props Appear Spiritless.
The Props played a lackadaisi-
cal ball in that first period.
They made II attempts from the
free-throw line and scored on
only three, while the Highs got
only three tries and made good
on all. The period ended with
Pantos and Co. in front by 1875.
The private school team made a
temporary snap-back in the OPEN
ing minutes of the second period
Kingsbury dropped in two field
goals and Bob Macdonald of St.
Johns made one to pull the Props
to within two points of a tie. But
a field goal by Curtis and fouls by
Pantos and Jim Young of Wilson
again vaulted the Highs to the
fore. Kingsbury and Don Kokes
of st. Johns once more led the
Props to within two points. but
here Pantos made field goal and
a foul, Curtis sank two field goals
and a free throw and Young and
Bob Zamsky of Roosevelt each
dropped in floor shots to pTopel
the Highs to a 31-18 halftime COM
mand.
Eight of the 10 players for the
Highs hit the basket for two
pointers in the third period. while
Kokes and Tippy Larkins and
Mike Nolan. both from Gonzaga,
were the only ones to find the
range for the Props. The Highs
outscored their foes, 20-13. this
period to enter the final COM
fortably in front, 51-31.
Pantos, Larkins Voted Best.
The last period was the only one
belonging to the Props. They made
six of seven free throws and scored
eight times from the floor. while
the Highs were missing four out
of six charity losses and register
ing only five two-pointers. The
heroes of this too-late rally were
Larkins, Kokes, John ODonnell of
Georgetown Prep. Nolan and Bob
McLindon of st. Johns.
Members of the Caps pro team
voted Pantos the outstanding High
player and Larkins as the out
standing Prep. Each received q
trophy.
Halftime entertainment was
supplied by Ray Hawkins and his
band with Jody Miller. Miss
Washington of 1948, vocalizing.
The affair is sponsored annually
by the Big Brothers Club of the
Georgetown Branch. Boys Club
of Washington for the Boys Club
work fund.
In the preliminary Cavalier
Liquors defeated Crescent Cafe
80-67.
