no losses, tangled in a league game
on the Woodland Way court on Tues

sters scoring an easy win. The final
tally was AZ to IA.
Although the Boys Club kids put
up a game fight they were clearly

their opponents, but they were also
unable to pierce the zone defense
the winners put up
The Optimists lead 90 at the
quarter, 20-4 at the half and 1913 at
the end of the third quarter But
the two teams played on fairly even
terms in the last period, when the

fair the first half, with the Hubs

total of 9 goals and 3 fouls for Il
points, during the game, scored II
of them in the second half.
He got points in the third quar-
ter and then in the final period real
ly went on a rampage, scoring II
more points. AS a result, the Hubs
went out in front q to 10 in the
third period and ran away from their
opponents in the fourth quarter.

top by a score of 33 to 81
They had a lead of Is to in the
first quarter; 20 to Is at the half and
30 to IS at the end of the third
period But in the final quarter the
Hagerstown Jayvees put on a real
rally and came within two points
of tying the score.
Bowman was the high scorer for
the Hagerstown Juniors with ID
points, and Weaver was the high
man for Frederick with II points.
In the girls league, the Hagers-
town Hubettes tasted defeat for the
first time this year after winning
four straight games, when they lost
to the Frederick High School Var
sity team, by score of % to II.
Trailing by points at the end of
the first quarter, the Frederick girls
took point lead at the end of the

third quarter and had point mar
gin at the end.
For the Hubettes, Harshman was
the high scorer with II points and
Shockey led the Frederick girls with
10 points.

Gaels on top IL to 10 and they in
creased their margin to points al
