The two qulnteta continued to battle it out on even terma for the rest ot tha first quarter, the score being 1 to 10 at tha and ot thla period. In the second period, Knleval showed the effects of the fast psce required In guarding How ell, while the Ashland giant did not seem to be very tired, and scored the major part of hla points In this quarter.

Knleval and Estea opened the scoring in the second period to bring the Pelicans within two points of tha Bears' total, but thla waa the only time they threatened to get near to tha id. A system for gtopplng Howell waa apparently devised during the rest of tha period, aa he only scored two baskets in the second half. However, in their eager- I to stop the Llthiaa giant. the Pelicans overlooked a few of tha other members of the vis iting team and they managed to get away for a ahara In tba honors.
