S close battle throughout the
entire four periods as both
teams tried every bit of bas-
ketball science known to
them to gain the lead of the
American Division.
Frank Pinciotti, guard for the
Surfacers, was the big noise of
the game as he gathered 10
points to aid his teammates in
their sweet victory. However,
it must be said in all fairness
that the entire Surface Combus-
ton squad performed well to
outscore the favored Tee Jay
Sees. The victory gave Surface
the Division lead with three
wins and no losses and slipped
the Tee Jay Sees into second
position with three wins M1
one loss.

broke into the win side of the
ledger as the lads from Alexis

markers for the winning Martin
Parry team.
In the remaining American
Division game, the Industrial
Heat Treaters could not cope

doubt as the Plaskons held an
imposing half-time 80 to lead.
