repetition of the AZ cage classic
rokuda Drug. championship; Mer-
curry, consolation
rokuda Drug. bolstered by sharp
newcomers Sci Adachi. Heat Heya-
1oto and AL Mar literally walked
3ver their opponents to take the
third and last leg of the coveted
three-year perpetual trophy and the
permsnent championship cup.
Victims of Tokuda Drug in order
were Mercury, Polka Dots and AM
erican Auto Portland.
And the scores were: Tokuda's 80,
Mercury Is: Tokuda's 43, Polka
Dots 80; and Tokuda's A. American
Auto 20.
In every hour of triumph. Toku-
da's were paced by the California
nifty. Sci Adachi Manabu Fujino,
playing his best games this season,
was very much alive for the drug
gists as he plucked off the re-
bounds and threw passes from his
post near the foul circle.
Mercury, which bowed to Toku-

IN burst of speed TO outrun its
foes Nuggets, Web Nee and Polka
