Their opponent, Oakland, Calif., finally scored in the late minutes of the first quarter to m ake the sco re 26-2. As it turned out, 24 points was as close as Oakland got to “clos ing the g a p ” all night. The contest was pretty well decided after the first quarter buzzer sounded, and it w as a downhill battle the rest of the way for the bismark Five. Final score: 129-69. Bismark dominated in all departm ents throughout the game - rebounding, field goal percentage, and defense. Six of the seven team members scor ed in double figures, with 6’6” Center Bob Eaglestaff tallying a game-high 35 points.
