8 ~ — GROCERS RALLY TO TAKE FIRST OF CAGE TILTS George Brothers Beat Fire- men 33-31 in Final Minute of Play After trailing for 39 miutes from | one to three baskets, George Brothers crashed through the Fire- men’s defense in the last minute of play to score two baskets and win the first of the champion cage series by a score of 33 to 31. It was anybody's battle all the way and kept the cash customers on| their feet most of the time. The Firemen suffered severely when Garn, whose great floor game was a feature, was fouled out just five minutes before the game end- ed. It weakened the Smoke Eaters both defensivly and probably cost them the game. Orme’s Shooting Sensational Jimmy Orme’s shooting was sen- sational. He led the scoring with eight fields and two on free throws for 18 points, and half of his field goals were made from outside of the 17-foot zone. Burke, who sank the casaba from midcourt, stand- ing on the sideline in the center zone, chalked up the two points| necessary to give his team the! victory. He made the shot 30 seconds before the final whistle.} The Firemen rallied gamely and carried the ball twice down the floor to beneath the basket and both Hollman and Connors miss- ed short tries that would have re- stored the Firemen to the run- ning. The Firemen led at the quarter post by a score of 6 to 5; at the| halftime, 16 to 14; and at the three | quarter post 28 to 22; the home stretch proved their undoing when | the Grocers held them to a uingle field goal and one point on a free throw, 'and themselves scored ) five fields and a free throw.

C. five and after the latter had acquired a 20 to 12 lead in the first half, Coach Wentland shot | his regulars into the fray. They managed to pull the game out of the fire by a one-point margin, winning 33 to 32.
