Monday, March 1, 1943 SPORTS Lions Defeat Bulldogs 18-14; Wolfe Leads The West Linn Lions barely managed to eke out an 18 -14 win, Friday the 19th, at Sher wood. The absence of Elder Baisch and some very tough luck on shots left the Lions completely handicapped. • Throughout the first half the local boys tried desperately to pick up a small lead but the score stood 8-8 at half time. A ten-point run in the second half gave the Lions a substan tial lead which they managed to hold until the final whistle. This was the second straight defeat taken by Sherwood at the hands of the Lions. West Linn 18 Page Three THE AMPLIFIER 14, Sherwood Eaden, 2 G.-.„...-. 2, Burge Matile, 2 ...^»...G......
