'Cats Claw Back But in the second half the Wildcats, who were cool and a bit sluggish in the first two pe riods, came clawing back fierce ly. Sparked by rugged cousins, Dick and .Allen Smith, with their shooting and backboard play, the No. 6 and No. 9 rated Glide quintet, ba'nged at the hoop with scorching .566 effec tiveness and threatened serious ly to catch the Pirates in the final minutes of the fracas.
