(olumbia br. And Imperials In Big_PIayoll They dood it! Yep, at least the unpredictable Columbians pulled out of their trance and floored a real ball club which snapped the seven game win- ning. streak of a fast riding Moose quintet by a 74 to 47 score. Six toot- three inch Rod Nordling tossed ir 25 points in a game which servec only to prove that good little men cannot beat good big men. Last night’s contest really established the Lumbermen’s reputation as a live wire and immenseely. capable bal team. Rebound strength told the story as the woodchoppers roared to a 32 to 22 lead at the half Which there- after was never challenged. Player- manager Tom Power’s influence was especially felt as last night’s Columbians displayed a unity that was hitherto lacking. “Bub” Graves introduced himself as one of the cleverest ball handlers in the league. Plodding Gus Adams, the perennial work-horse, showed the Lodgemen what backboards are for and “Clyde” Bavard took advantage of this authority to sink eight trom the field. From the second quarier the handwriting on the wall was visible Kelly, Aase and Company, though turning in their usual brand of ball might much more easily have called it “quits,” then and there. As 'twas said before, “for the want of a horse a kingdom was lost”; for the wan! of a rebound, the game was lost. Imp Basketball Game In the second tilt of the Basket- ball Carnival, the hard-luck boy: from the Imperial were pittec against the Clothier’s and from the start it was obvious that a field day was in order. The theme of the night was destined to be “I Turnec the Tables On You,” as the cock- tail and recreation team avenged ¢ previous defeat by the haberdashers. A rolling stone gathers no moss and the Imps gathered no moss a: they racked up 33 points in the first half to give them a 12 point lead swhich swas decreasefl to an eghi point lead by the hard fighting Cas- lerites. The game ended 62 to 5 and the victory gave the Imperiak the undisputed right to compete ir tonight’s contest to decide who it to represent the capital city in the Gold Medal Tournament. The pre- eminence of fouling slowed the _game to a point where it became . uninteresting; however Neilsen Weed, Kearny, and Vuille turned in stellar performances for the Im- perials, and for the Clothier’s, the damage that was done must be = credited to two men who really play the ggme to win, Tyvol and Rolli- son. Playoffs for the Gold Medal Tour- nament will be tonight. Columbia Lumber Company or Imperial, that is the question. May the best team . win!
