The Tiger offensive started to
clicking from the opening tip-off.
The Tiger machine rolled the ball
from corner to corner and occasion
ally fumbled the ball due to the
fact that the gym was somewhat
smaller than they were used to and
that vie territory outlying the boun
daries was so limited, fording the
teams to play In the middle of the ,
floor. However, the Tiger rolled up i
a 7 to 4 count on the Cavemen In
the first quarter and a IS to 0 lead j
at half-time. The Cavemen threat
ened only once, that was during the j
third quarter when a limited rally
was staged.
Russel Brown received high point
honors with 14 to his credit. Wayne
Harris followed with nine points and j
Burdln of Grants Pass with eight!
points.

34-31 for Sons after they had trailed
the Callfornlans all the way until the
last minute of play. The second night
the Sons won again after a hard
fight, this time 33-34. This year, the
Wildcats are stronger than last, with
only two men of the entire squad of
1033 missing.-

vading teams. They have the highest
scoring combination probably In the
entire state with an average of 45,
points per game. Howell, Yandle and
Patterson are the heading scorers.

games.

He came within a split decision
last nigfht of belting King Levinsky

at the Garden, never agreeing on
anything.
With most of the experts agreed

rounds clearly, entitling him to the
decision, one Judge voted for Llvln-
sky, the other for Massera, and
Referee Smith hauled off and pre
sented a unique analysis of the sit

tenth round, gave Massera i four,
Levinsky three, called two even, arid
awarded Levinsky the decision;
