Connor (Observer Correspondent) UNIOX (Special) The Union High Bobcats lost another basketball game Wednesday night when the veteran Cove team won from the local quin tet 29 to 13. Cove did most of its scoring In the first two periods, mak ing 10 the first quarter and 11 the second. Union ended the half with seven points, the boys seemingly not being able to connect with the hoop although many trials were made. During the third quarter the Bob cats did their best playing, holding the visitors to one field basket and tying the score for the period by leonine in one also. Cove used sev eral subs in the last quarter and this also was very evenly played each team making two field baskets. Cove made two foul shots for a two-point lead for the quarter. The Union coach started the game with Zaugg. Baum. Prather. Conk 1 in and Wilde, but kept shifting his men. using Crossland. Baxter and Bassett part of the time. A preliminary between the high school girls and the Alumni demon-, strated that the old guard was some- t what out of practice, the high school girls winning. 25 to 11. Goodbrod j refcreed both games. A change has been made in the Thursday night program.
