Not with the Comets Satur day night was Loyal Higin botham, who was suspended from school the latter part, of last week for reason not con nected with basketball. Crater took the lead for good at 8 to 5 on a field goal and free shot by Edvards with 4V4 minutes left in the first quarter. The Central Point club built a 17 to first quarter gap but were out-marked 16 to 15 in the second panel. The loss was the 18th this season for the winless Ash land varsity.

Starting off very slowly, but picking up momentum, the game developed into a fairly high scoring affair. It would have even been more so if either of the teams could have been on its mark. After a 7 to 2 first quarter in which Eagle Point 1 e d, shots went in instead of rim ming the basket and flying out, and al halftime it was 17 to 13 with the Eagles lead ing. it was late in the second period that the Crusader cause suffered a blow when Jim Cal houn suffered a twisted ankle trying for a rebound. Much the Same The third quarter started off much as the first two, with neither side able to hit from far out. As it was, the Eagles held the lead on a better shooting percentage and a lit tle more height. With the fourth canto, the game increased to a torrid pitch with each team trying to wear down the other. Al though it gave the boys from Eagle Point a scare, the team from St. Mary's couldn't catch them. It was on the strength of the first three episodes that the Eagles finally won it, Mike Austin was high for St. Mary's and the game with 17 to the 12 and 11 points of Charles Pomeroy and Ron Greb for Eagle Point.

Buzz Fazio Bowls Here Tonight You have to get up pretty early in the morning lo out- bowl Buzz Fazio. ' Just ask anyone who was awake when Buzz recorded the earliest-hour 300 game in history - on Nov. 30, 1954 at Grand Central Recreation That morning, in an interrupt ed game, he started striking at 12:23 o'clock and threw his last pinbuster at 2:17. It goes down as one of the many record-setting oddities in the colorful career of Fa zio, who will be appearing at Medford Bowling lanes at 9 o'clock tonight. Even stranger, in Fazio's mind at least, are the ups and downs he experienced in the All-Star Tournament. In 1950, he tied a record for high game with a perfect score. Five years later in the same tournament, he set a record low game with 109, when he had one strike, one spare, six splits and two blows. Mostly on Top More often than not, how ever, Buzz has been on top of the bowling world. In 1955, he captured the ABC Masters title and pre viously he had been- recog nized as one of the greatest team leaders in history, cap taining Strohs to three straight BPAA . National Team Match Game crowns and one ABC All Events ti tle. During his appearance here Fazio wlil roll an exhibition match and give free instruc tion to local bowlers. He is one of the more than 100 big leaguers on the Brunswick Advisory Staff of Champions who promote bowling with nationwide appearances. DAVENPORT SIGNS San Francisco-IUPII-Jim Dav enport, who acquired a stom ach ulcer last year while play ing third base for the San Francisco Giants, signed today with the club for the 1961 season and declared that he was in top shape. A total of 28 Giants now have signed for the coming season. 'Ittp' Utility IFaion PUT IT TO THE TEST!
