throne-room by virtue of stoppil
for the Big Reds was their fifth in
5440 and pushed their season
record to 12-4. Other losses were
to Fort Frye 61-48, Dresden
59-55 and Roseville 1886. The
latter two were defeated during
the season by Caldwell which
now has 1915 record. On
December 10 the Big Reds had
edged out the Redskins 48-46 in
non-league skirmish at McCon-
nelsville.
Friday nights game was a
race-horse affair but Caldwell
ran out of horses too soon. Don
Cunningham, the only Redskin
able to compare with NJ & Ms
height advantage, was nicked for
four personals in the first five
minutes and forced to sit out
the remainder of that quarter as
well as the entire second and
third periods. He went two and
a half minutes of the fourth
before fouling out after playing
exactly seven and a half minutes
of the entire game.
Dave Milligan picked up his
fourth foul with exactly SO
seconds left in the second quar-
ter, and after being benched for
the third quarter, eventually
fouled out in the crucial fourth
period with three minutes to 60.
Ron Priest was also lost on fouls
in the fourth with two minutes
to play, just after connecting for
four fielders.
All in all, Coach Scott used ten
players with nine of them taking
part in the scoring but Priest
was the only one to hit with any
consistency. He racked UP II
points on eight goals and one
free throw to lead the Redskins
in the point column.
M & M, despite a 73-man athle-
tic roster, stuck with the start
ing five until Tod Sidwell fouled
out midway in the fourth period
and Joe Brannon and Dick Smith
took turns subbing for him.
Senior center George Smith
racked up % points including six
| out of 10 free throws while Sid
well accounted for IA.
First Quarter
Priest tailed seven points for
Caldwell in the opening quarter
as the lead changed hands sew
eral times before M & M pulled
away to a 17-14 lead. The Big
Reds utilized their heighth for
rebounds and tip-ins with Bob
Wise, one of two juniors on the
team, netting eight points while
John, Murray, only small man on
the team, flipped in two fielders
as did Smith.
Caldwell canned four of five
free throws while M & M made
good only three out of seven.
Cunningham picked up his
fourth personal with 2:53 left on
| the clock and went to the side
lines, replaced by Dave Fergu-
son.
Second Quarter
The Redskins again failed to
| mount any sort of offense in this
Slam bang, rough and tumble
game. John Eastman's four points
were top production for Cald-
well although four others scored
two points each. Dave Milligan
was taken out after acquiring his
| fourth personal and was re
placed by Marvin Jackson.
The Big Reds piled up Is
| points to lead 1926 at halftime
and this later proved to be the
| margin of victory at six points.
Smith continued his steady pace
with six points as the teams mat
ched field goals at four each.
M & M converted seven out of
| II free throws and Caldwell four
| out of seven.
Third Quarter
| Caldwell was limited to five
| points on fielders by Bob De-
volld and Jackson plus a free
throw by Eastman while the
visitors racked up II points. Sid
well drove down the middle for
three goals and got one foul shot
for seven points to spark the Big
Reds to an 18-point lead 49-31.
With Cunningham and Mil
ligan warming the bench, the
fouls slackened off, only two
being called on each side. Cald-
we'll made good one of two
chances and McConnelsville one
of three.
Fourth Quarter
With the starting lineup back
on the floor, the Redskins put
on a belated drive which netted
25 points compared to 13 for the
Big Reds but time ran out too
| soon.
Priest found his eye for four
/ buckets and Tom Lewis dumped
