ed Seaford in one of the most ex-
citing games of the season. The
teams were almost equal in abil-
ity, but the unfamiliarity of the

opponents during the first three
quarters. The fourth quarter was
played with an intensity of earn

served in high school games. In
the remaining seconds of the
game, the tie score OF $3.50 was
broken when a Seaford foul gave
Milford two foul shots. which were
successfully completed. giving
Milford a winning score of $3.50.
The outstanding players of the
game were Mears with "a points
and rebounds, Gibson with nine
points and rebounds. Grier with
8 points anti rebounds. Galloway
