Both teams had several of the easiest shots possible and muffsd chances to score when the ball went wild, time and again. Hollmann, who was high point man in the game, made the first score of the game with a short field goal. Douglas came back shortly after when Niemi con- verted and the Islanders forged ahead when Manning converted twice more. Hollmann sank a pretty shot froms the 17-foot line, converted while Blake converted twice on two free throws and just before the period ended, sank a short field .goal to give the Firemen a 9 to 3 lead. In the second canto Douglas had things more its own way. Me- Cormick converted, Cashen put 2 dong one through the hoop and when Manning was given two free throws he made them both good and brought Douglas within one point of a tie: Barragar replaced MacSpadden at half time while the Eagles put 4n Henrickson for McCormick. it The Firemen deeided to start promising youngster, | | goal, Dox fgeore’ twice on short shots. their recruits neces-| season, | leagues ¢ e H since I first got into the game, | prac 30 No ball player was ever moCormick F o S| Manning c 3 good enough to stick in the N!‘«N(emi R, o leagues, but it takes more than!caghen 1 | | Manning placed another short 3 bled and sark a short goal.
