TRIUMPHANT POST C A G E TEAM
The talented Camp Abbot En
gineers traveled to Redmond
Tuesday night and humbled the
Pow ell Butte Outlaws 61-34. The
convincing victory was No. 9 in a
row fo r the Post team and follow
ed up a 45-22 shellacking hand
ed the Central Oregon Outlaws,
at the Recreation hall last week.
How easily the men o f Abbot
rolled over the All-Stars is evi
denced by the fact that four o f
the red-clad Engineers broke
into double figures in the scor
ing column.
Sgt. Don Tucker, who has yet
to be held under ten points,
again paced the sharpshooters,
this time with 13. Lt. James
Murphy, 6’7” center, chalked up
11. Lt. Robert Demgen, round
ing into the form that made him
a star at Bradley Tech, had 10
as did Pet. Fred Higgenbothem.

the thriller-dillers o f Rec H all
history to Co. B, 56 Bn., in tw o
overtim e periods, 28-27. The
game was nip and tuck all the
way, and Klinkowitz o f Supply
converted a free throw with one
second to go to tie the count at
24-24.
The first three minute over
time was scoreless, neither team
getting a decent shot at the
bucket. B-56’s Basset potted a
long in the second overtim e but
the league’s top scorer, Lipe o f
Supply, knotted the count once
again with a layin. W ith 30 sec
onds left, Pizzi of B-56 sank the
winning basket. However, Sup
p ly’s roly-poly Klinkow itz had
another chance to tie it up as he
was fouled in the act o f shoot
ing just before the last whistle.
Klinkowitz made the first one
but the second hit the front rim
and kicked away.
Service chalked up No. 5 to
pull within one game o f league
