B-59 team has had its share of hard luck. It dropped a hard- fought game to Civilian Person nel Monday night after leading in the early stages. C. P. finally cracked through defenses in the last minutes to win 28 to 26. Abbot Face! The idea of fair play and clean spori has obviously paid divi dends, according to the statistics. Civilian Personnel had been guil ty of only 20 fouls in 12 games. We don’t know, but perhaps that is one reason that C.P. is leading the pack as they approach the finish line.
