Coach Johnny Offutt yanked the regulars in the final quarter and sent in his second team. Disre- garding defense, the Students went on a scoring spree to bring their total up to 23 points, a gain of 14 markers, four more than were registered in the three pre- ceding periods. Highest scorer on the varsity five was second-stringer Mc- Cown, who sunk three field goals. “Flash” Arnold, another rookie, féllowed with two baskets and a charity toss. Laney, 19, and McGregor, paced the Marines. Students, who miscued five! times, netted only a trio of their 15 free shots, while the Leather- necks were successful only once in six tries.
