In last nights game Gonzaga

time. but st. Anthony. paced by

on even terms in the second
half. When Coach Tommy No
Ian of Gonzaga pulled Dick
Ridgway, Mike Williams and Ray
Smith. each of whom had four
personal fouls. late in the last
period, he found three able sub
stituteS.
"Natoli (Tony), Vita Crank
and Slevin (Hank) really pulled
us out of a hole" he said. "All
three played good ball and it
was nice to find we had such
capable boys on the bench"
The three accounted for IA of
the 20 points made by the Eagles
in the final period. Cassidy. with
81 points. was high for the night.
Fred Thornett of Gonzaga,
who paced his team in the early
part of the game, wound up with
II points.
