Infe Gold Medal Tournament By Beafing Imperials 68-50 Juneau’s two top city teams clashed yester-eve, vying for the number three position in the Gas- tineau Channel League and the chance that goes with it for honor: in the Lions Club fourth annua Gold Medal Tournament. The Columbjans floored a Cyclo- pean guintet composed of Hogins Bavard, Adams, Nordling anc Graves while the Imperi: startec a contingent of smaller and laster men. (Scott, Pasquan, Vuille, Weed Neilsen). Needless to say, the en- suing melee was terrific! On the tip, Bavard took off or the opener, potting a set shot trom the far court. Weed retaliated with a lay-up and Hogins, drawing & foul from Pasguan, sank the charity toss. Fer the Lumbermen, “Clyde’ Bavard sank three more long ones and “Sonny” Vuille and Jackie Pas- quan cropped 9 for the Imps. The race was on! Going into the second guarter. Bavard, definitely sufferinz from touch of the heat, collected a cripple and a long looping push shot. Adams sank a duo of one ers from the field, and Tom Powers came through nicely for 4 points. But the Imperials were not to be denied. The collective | efforts of the horde netted 15 points in this period as Jim Nielsen came through with the tieing bucket at the horn. First half: Imperials 28. Into the second half, Nordling tock the tip, but Evan Scott inter- cepted and passed to Neilsen who was fouled by Graves. The FT re- gistered and quickly the Imps gar- nered another on Power’s foul Added to this was a jump shot by Scott and the Imperials surged rem- porarily ahead. The tree-butchers came back strongly as “Wild Bill’ Graves tossed in 7 of his seconc half total of 15 points. Rod Nord- ling worked the boards for five After this rally the Cclumbians se up a defensive barricade that the Imperial quintet could nct pene trate.. At the 3rd period: Columb. 45, Tmps 36.° Quarter number 4 was merely ¢ repetition of the third quarter car- nage. Absolute rebound control was maintained by Adams, Hogins ana Nordling.
