Redskins again defeated the Wis
iting Oak Harbor Rockets, 79 to
So, in the high school sports en-
porium.
Oak Harbor put up fight dur
ing the first period but the
smoother working Redskins edged
away in the second quarter and
widened their advantage as the
game progressed.
Curt Wepler opened the scoring
with one of his one-arm specialties
from far out. Three buckets by
Harold Masing, two each by Wep-
Ter and Bill Belshaw and another
by Fritz gave the Redskins a
16 to II advantage at the end of
the quarter. Fritz netted seven
points, Masing and Wepler added
six points each and Belshaw con-
nected on two free throws to
make the lead 81 to 25 at inter
mission.
Carrying four fouls, Masing
was rested during most of the
third period when Selgo went into
action. Fritz came through with
eight points, Wepler and Masing
had three each, and Belshaw
meshed a goal as the Redskins
led So to 33 at the three-quarter
mark.
Coach Willbond cleaned the
bench in the fourth stanza and
gave the second-stringers more
experience. Carr, Wightman,
Floro, Schaffer and Selgo spell
ed the regulars.
The Redskins displayed better
accuracy from the field, hitting
35 buckets in so attempts for d
respectable 81 per cent. The
Rockets meshed 20 in 81 attempts
for a 32 per cent average.
In the preliminary event, the
Port Clinton Reserves were vic
torious, AZ to 27, when Coach.
"Doc" Wenzel's charges fought
off a determined quintet from Oak
Harbor.
During the featured game, the
girls in the audience shrieked
when George Cass, Oak Harbol
guard, plunged off the stage into
the orchestra pit after he had col
lided with Bill Fritz. Cass, a
pint-sized basketeer, was not in
jured and continued to play.
Following Fritz's "a points was
Harold Masing's II. AS usual, be-
specialized Glenn Freimark paced
Oak Harbor with 16 counters. For
the second time in as many weeks,
Bill Belshaw dropped to third in
team scoring and was tied with
Curt Wepler at Is points.
Captain Dick Mylander left the
game on fouls early in the fourth
quarter, and Masing followed soon
afterwards. Officials Kluding and
Welever called % personals and

skins while Oak Harbor was pen
