vANQUISH RED
SKINS 62-45

Sandusky, long favored over
Tort Clinton, took the Redskins
measure to the tune of 62-45 Fri
Gay night at Sandusky IN one
sided game which gave the home
team most of the breaks.
Port Clinton Jagged throughout
the first half, and the third quar-
ter, but led by five points in the
final stanZa.
Ted Schwanger was Sandusky's
point-getter with eight fielders
for 16. Close behind him was
Bill Mallory, who canned three
goals and dunked seven of nine
free throws for Is.
Selgo Gets Only Five
Center Jim Flick was nigh man
for Port Clinton with 10, as the
usually high-scoring Dick Selgo
was held to five points by good

mates were kept we'll out from

in the first three cantos.
The Streaks started fast, with
Theibert passing to Stradtman for
a bucket on a break off the in
itial jump. Stradtman bagged an
other two pointer following NAL
lory's basket and the latters free
throw made it 70 with the game
less than minute old.
Schwanger and Theibert added
two buckets apiece, Acierto count
ed one and Mallory a second as
the hometoWners took advantage
of the Porters' zone using whirl-
wind fast break and some neat
pass offs for several of their twin
markers.
Sfreaks Turn Cold
Sandusky's shots trimmed the
basket with annoying frequency IN
the second chapter, but the Red
skins could manage only three
fielders to the Streaks five during
the opportune moments. Substi-
tutes Dan Leavell and Jerry Ehr-
hardt saw considerable action in
the quarter, taking over temper
arily for Stradtman and Acierto.
Acierto cashed a bucket at the
inset of period 3 to start Sandusky
off on its biggest point barrage Of
the night. The Streaks ended up
with eight fielders in 13 shots for
e1 percent to vault into their %
