Jim- my Nelson and John Buell went scoreless and Herbie Ramsey’s 2-pointer fifteen seconds after the start was his only contribution from the field. Bounds made only one field goal but his domination of the rebounds was the deciding difference in the game, John Taibi, the league’s lead- ing scorer, hit two fielders and 4 charity shot for five points to tie with Soper. Bill Whaley, East guard, took scoring honors, with ten points. East Loses Early Lead. East got off to a 5-6 lead, but early in the second quarter the Vikings moved out in front to stay. Taibi’s goal resulting from a fast break with Charles Shields, put Northeast ahead, 7-6. East went scoreless in the second period and trailed, 6-9, at the intermission.*»The ball con- tinued to avoid the Viking basket in the third canto and Northeast sent. Taibi and Soper in for field goals after Soper had cashed his shot resulting from the technical foul. Ramsey’s free throw on a foul by Bounds was the only point for East in the third and Northeast moved into the final quarter lead- ing, 14-7, Then came the dramatic finish. Field goals by Whaley and Hart came quickly and Ken Bass found the range for the Vikings before Whaley banged in another 2-pointer and converted two free throws on two fouls by Soper. That made it 16-15 only until Whaley committed his fourth foul and Soper added a point to the Viking total. O'Neil fouled Soper immediately and the little for- ward ran the total to 18 with what proved to be the winning toss. NORTHEAST_—18. BAST—1 Taibi, Sere: Sr Biielas, te Fas Soper, -f...+ Bounds, c..

Paseo hit its first three shots in the opening minute and it was evi- dent the Pirates were out to win their first league game of the season Coach Bob Armour’s boys connected with six of twelve heaves in the first period and led, 12-6. The Bucs kept the pace to hold an 19-8 advantage at the half and 26-17 at the end of the third. Westport, the defending champion, made a bid late in the final period, scoring six points to narrow the gap to 23-28 but Darrell Havener connected with two free throws to aid the Paseo cause and Donahue’s fielder in the last minute closed the Tiger scoring five points short. Clint Webber, Tiger forward, led the scorers with ten points, two more than Paseo’s leader, Jimmy Gregath, tallied. Westport became somewhat panicky early in the game as Paseo’s shots found the mark with regularity and many long ‘Tiger shots failed to reach the tackboard.

Three Southeast players went out for excessive fouling and DeLuna of Manual was ejected, too, but the latter didn’t leave until only _ five seconds remained and Manual’s triumph was assured, Without Calfas through the final quarter, the story, might have been | different for the Knights moved within three points of a tie, with | about three minutes remaining.
