Glass c Tourney;
BaimVille Second

For the second year in a row
the Cowboys from Culbertson
reign as champions of the Glass
c District 2 basketball tourney.
Bainville, losers in the cham
pionship game, stopped challeng-
ing-Savage for the right to join
Culbertson as the two teams TO
represent District 2 in the Eastern
Divisional held in Glasgow March
Id.
Culbertson, the fourth seeded
team in the tourney, had to do
it the hard way and definitely
proved to be the upset team OF
this annual affair.
After dropping Savage 57-54 in
their opener the Cowboys swamp
ed league-leading Lambert m-5S
Friday night and went on to east
ly defeat Bainville, the second
seeded club, 67-53 in the finals.
Savage, which lost out in the
play-off Monday night to Balm
Vile 1856, defeated surprisingly
strong Frazer for consolation
honors and third place Saturday
night 1853. Frazer, sixth in the
conference, thus received fourth
place award.
The tourney opened Thursday
afternoon with Lambert scoring at
will and soundly beating Brockton

doubt as George Lake and Don
Burgess got 20 and % respective

Culbertson won the second over
Savage 57-54 but the game was
as close as the score indicates.
Gary Basso, the workhorse for
the Warriors, was high with II
and Bob Damn and Gene NC
Cromick led the winners with 10
each.
In the third game Thursday
night Bainville had an easy time
stopping a much younger club
from Froid 78-44. Using their
starting five most of the way as
they did throughout the turna-
ment the Bulldogs victory was
never a question. Gary Torgerson
led the winners with 26 and Rob-
ert Smith had 16 for the Cardi-
mails.
The fourth game found Fichey
battling the smaller Frazer team
all the way to win 63-55. Dean

fell short. Dickie Hedegaard led
the Savage Warriors with 20 and
First had the same for the Brock
