Within five seconds of the opening | whistle Rockwell tossed the ball over his head for a clean goal and al- though Anderson tied this Morey aropped in a foul shot and the |church ran up a 13-6 lead in the balance of the quarter, Morey being {responsible for seven points during |the period. In the second session Bell went wild and mado three bas- kets, Rockwell getting two. The Traders were still held in leash and the half-time count was 24-11. The losers rallied sharply in the third quarter, Abel coming up the floor for three nice baskets and An- derson making two clever’ shots. Bell continyed his drive with a pair of goals so clean that the scorers did not gnow the ball had gone through the hoop until the refaree blew his whistle. This period ended with the score 34-2¢.

An Overtime Tie The girls’ game was one ‘of the best of its kind played this season. | ‘The first quarter was rather slow, with neither team scoring. Pihiel made & foul goal shortly after the second quarter got underway and her team mate, Motyks, made a field goal. 1t began to look as if the P. & ¥. Corbin scoring machine was getting underway but for the rest of the half it did not find the hoop. Just before the half ended Sinkie- wits, a veteran of two seasons with the Newmatic team, signified her return to the lineup after an ab- aence of a month by caging her team's first point, a foul goal. Nappl scored the first field goal her team has made in three games and it tied the score at 3 all. Fran- ces Kendzior found the hoop for & field goal and New Britain Machine |score was 13 to 9. shot from the middle of the floor. He came through again with a shorter shot, but Arbour evened the individual race with a field goal. The Hugo Anderson was fouled by Arbour and the count changed to 13 to 10. through again to make it 13 to 11 and within three minutes of the end, Arena tied the score on a bas- I ket that dropped clean through the netting, Arbour who had been guarding Arena very closely made his fourth | personal foul and he was efected ilmm the game. Followers of the Screw 8hop team were pessimistic | about their team’s chances with the | pivot man out, and with a substitute | who had not had much experience in the game to guard Arena.
