The game had everything, includ ing plenty of spill's, fast breaks, howitzer shots, and contested de cisions by the officials. The ASTUs led by Kramme and Nail, led the birdmen all the way with period scores of 15 to 13, 22 to 16, ahd 35 to 28, but neverthe less they were periodically worried throughout the game by birdmen threats, the strongest coming in the fourth quarter wheq the air corps closed the count to (four points. The air corps mets were ham pered throughout the game by their lack of height. Forced by the defensive play of Moylan and Nail to shoot - from outside the ASTU defensive, Bill Mitchell, air corps ace, found the range in the third quarter, but was forced to leave the game with a bad leg before he was able to materially alter the score. With the cry of three to one and some practice against a man to-man defensive, the air corps has promised to come back with a vic tory in a rematch game scheduled in the next few weeks.
