Saturday, December 4, 1943 ABBOT ENGINEER Page Eight Abbot Cagers Beat Bend High, 70-14 Camp Quintet Displays Real Power on Court Camp Abbot cagers, making their initial bow of the season, scored an easy 70 to 14 victory over the Bend High quintet in the All-Purpose Building Thurs day night. The Bend squad displayed courage and showed fighting hearts, but the rangy Camp Ab bot athletes and superior knowl edge gained on college courts told before the game had been underway two minutes. Despite the lop-sided score, Bend cagers fought spiritedly until the final whistle. Tucker lead the post cagers in scoring and tossed many long shots from far reach es of the court. Woods was the outstanding player for Bend. The band from C-51, playing selected tunes, gave a collegiate atmosphere to the game. Prospects are bright for a schedule that will give the Camp Abbot team plenty of action aft er the holidays. A communica tion to the camp athletic direc tor from L. J. Sparks, athletic manager, Willamette Universi ty, Salem, indicated that institu tion would send a civilian team to meet the Camp Abbot cagers. It would be impossible, how ever, for a squad of Navy trainees now taking specialized training at the university, to make the trip, he wrote. The manager of the Albina Hellships, a team composed of former west coast college stars now employed by the Albina Shipyards, Portland, notified the Special Service office that squad would be available for two games here at a date to be agreed upon later. The standings in the chase for the post title, including Thurs- day's games, follow: ST A N D IN G S Team A 57 ....................... C-51 ....................... D-56 .......................
