RY Lxn Martin

The London Red Raiders upset
the undefeated Little Bucks with
2 decisive 64-48 victory, at Uni
versity High Friday night. This
was really a bitter pin to swal-
low for the cocky University
csgers who had sized up this
game as "a cinch."
Bill Hunter got the London
boys off to a good start, pushing
in twelve quick points in the
first quarter. Captain Tom Bope-
ley was hitting from all angles
and gathered in a total of %
points for the Raiders.
In the first half the London
quintet skillfully ran up a 35-13
lead. The Raiders played rings
around the surprised strong-on-
offense but weak-ou-defense Little
Bucks.
University showed their ac-
cnrate, aggressive offerse in the
second half and gave the Raiders
plenty of opposition. Toward
FRITZ Smith showed some fancy
form. totaling some seven goals
in short order. Guard Jim Morse
