MIBL. Rogue River slapped
Camp's in a rubber match after
dividing in regular season play
and its win came a bit harder
than the Y's. The Merchants
were in front much of the way
but they had to bust a 52-all
deadlock which came with two
minutes left to go.
Bob Serak, a deadeye lefty
from Chicago, Derald Wooton
and Larue Smith sparked the
sharpshooting YMCA offensive.
Serak, who joined the club after
playing the regular season with
Hawkinson Tire Tread, poured
in 26 counters. Wooton had 19
points and Smith 18. Wes Stauf
fer got 19 for the Prospectors.
Dick Price, an uncanny gunner
from long range, bombarded for
18 and Ted Greb wound up with
16. l$
Y was on top by five to nine
points through the big share 6f
the first half and had a 45 to
37 margin at the midway breath
er. In the second half the spread
was upped. to 10 points at 49
to 39 and 51 to 41.
Lead io 18 Points
Prospect closed the distance
to 52 to 45 but from there the
Medford gang .increased T to . 18
advantage at 63 to 45. From that
stage of the mix the Y turned
generally to ball control. The
lead slipped back to 11 -points
and went back up to 17 before
dropping to the finaL 13-point
spread.
The victors outscored Pros
pect from the field 34 to 30 and
from the free line 15 to 10.
Rogue River and Gamp's alter
nated, in the lead several times
in the early part of their fuss
and the count was knotted at
7-all, 8-all, 11-all and 13-all. Bill
Bean broke the latter deadlock
for 15 to 13 and the Merchants
went ahead 19 to 13. The Elec
tric boys cut it to 19 to 17 but
RR made it 23 to 17- and, after
a 27 to 23 standing, the Mer
chants got up to 32 to 23. Half
time score was 34 to 25.
Action tightened up in the
second half. While RR was
getting five points, Camp's add
ed three field goals and seven
consecutive free shots to cut
the edge down to 39 to 38, favor
ing the Merchants. Rogue River
widened to 44 to 38 but Dale
Muscopf, a principal contributor
to the GP team's second half
cause, scored on a long break
and a jumper for 44 to 42.
Knot Contest
Tinker Hatfield's goal and
Sherman : Heater's sifter made
it 47 to- 42 but Jay Reese got
a tally at the free line and Mus
copf goaled from the field for
47 to 45. A pair of free heaves
by Heater and one by Ted Stan
field pushed the standing 50 to
45. Muscopf cut it to 50 to 47
but Hatfield's bucket resulted
in a 52 to 47 margin for the
Merchants.- ;
Jay Reese and Ken Roberton
hit from the field and Muscopf
from the charity stripe for. the
52-all tie. Hatfield then put RR
ahead again 54 to 52, Gary John
son got a free shot. and a field
bucket and Hatfield connected
from the field for the final time
to round out the scorer,
Muscopf was ' high scorer for
the tangle with 18 and Hatfield
had 17 for Rogue River. Camp's
made its challenge despite the
fact that Don Reese, one of its
main cogs -fouled out in the
early part of the second half.
Keith Bertrand of the GP five
left with his fifth infraction
with six minutes to , play and
Muscopf bowed out for the same
reason win a minute to go. Stan
