Both sides play ed a tight defensive game with the Polk county lads out-maneuvering the Portion ders repeatedly to let vaugnn and vgiov through lor shots at he basket. Columbia checked In its effort to break through Dallas defense, re sorted to long range work which proved far from successful, for many of theiiLshots missed the backboard entirely. Stone and Shea for Columbia were the only players on that team to score boskets dur ing the first half, and they were limited to one each.. The half found Dallas leading 11 to 7. The Dallas defense continued to function during the third period with the CUffdwellers scoring but once during the eight minutes. while Coach Wright's men added nine points to their total. When about half of the final per- for had been played, Dallas resort ed to stalling. The long lead they had piled up saved the game for them for Columbia, becoming des perate went after their opponents with a vengeance and repeated' y took the ball on out of bounds play or through Interception, with War ren, Stone and Dwier puttirg the bail through the noop lor two points each.
