Actually, the lasted only through the quarter; from then on the thing in doubt was to height the finalists would the score,. It ended 77-30. This was the first game of the season for both teams. The Exe­ ter District High squad had practically the identical person­ nel, with the exception of per­ haps two players, as the hard­ hitting team that almost won the WOSSA finals last year. The Exeter Eagles, which after such a clipping should possibly be called "Bald” Eagles, are made up of local players outside the school. While the school team and the town team both lacked coaches (the school’s coach was Save Yourself ’contest” first only what run Feeding Headaches feed- Shur-Gain 18% Pig Starter Shur-Gain 15% Hog Grower ' referee, the town team has no coach as yet), the school had a definite advantage in the fact that its team members had played together before in many games. The lines were consistant —the first line- of May, O’Brien, J, Rether, IIunter-Duvar and F. Dobbs remained in play until near the end of the first half, with only two substitutions ’ in the second half. The Eagles on the other hand with players unaccustomed to each other's style, tried every conceivable combination to break into the scoring. The unseasoned team threw an excessive number of passes in the air, which were pulled down repeatedly by the red-shirted fusion was pecially to red shorts wearing, as was often literally handed to an opposing player. In the second? half, with the score 16-40, there was not much doubt school again either May to Rether, with O'Brien tossing in the centre shots, usually catching the Eagles jvith only one guard. The high school second line also did well. “ E.D.H.S. — May, 22; Morgan 2; O’Brien, Mickle, 5; Dobbs; 'G. Duvar, 7; J. 'Cann. EAGLES — Wood, 9; Farrow 5; G. Rether, 5; Schroeder, 4; Nicol, 2; B.

'Consider this: Just because you once played baseball, or once played hockey, or have an understanding of either oi’ both games, don’t allow lack of com­ prehension discourage you from seeing a basketball game. It has all of the excitement, all of the suspense, all of the speed, team work and, at the same time, in­ dividuality, of could imagine.

All scores, coincidently, were split, five to two. In Alleys 5 and 6, Fred Darl­ ing’s Butchers rolled against Har Holtzman’s Hot Shots, making a killing in the first game but los­ ing the last two. This, with a high total of 3 513 to 3119, gave the Hot Shots five of the seven points. Brock and Brintnell set the pace for the winners with a respective 252 and 251. (Brint­ nell, by the way, bowled his games with a lacerated right hand, injured at work last week.) Ken Hockey topped the losers with 277, followed by Captain Fred Darling with 257. In Alleys 3 and 4, the Whizz Bangs exploded a five-point to two-point win over the Big Six. Dinah Finch, for the Big Six, bowled a big 275 in one game, with Spike Armstrong second highest with' 256. Kelly, with 265, and Qaptain Stan Frayne, with 243, -had the highest in­ dividual one-game scores for the Big Six. Three-game totals were 3354 for the WHiizzs compared with 3250 for the B.S.’s. In Alleys 1 and 2, a very red­ faced crew of ,P i n p o p p e r s emerged from the three-game tussle with the Cellar Rats with a paltry two points putting them second after one short, glorious week as top team in the Exeter Men’s Bowling League. It seems that they were caught with their pins up. Don Traquair’s , Cellar Rats chewed them to pieces in the first two games and, al­ though losing the last one, man­ aged to win the extra marker with an eight-point lead on three games, 3175 to 3167. Ken Cud- more was highest bowler for the rodents with 237, closely fol­ lowed by Captain Traquair with 227. Bob Nicol was not best for the Pinpoppers but, his 29 7 score, was high man for His three-game 23’2.
