Dow Chemical
Wins From

Steelers, 55-46

PROVO—A late drive, led by the
long shooting of J ohnny Buescher,
gave Dow Chemical its third vic-
tory over a Utah Service. league
team as the midwesterners swept
past the Provo Steelers, 55 to 46,
Wednesday night in the Brigham
Young university women’s gymna-
sium.

The game, played before the
largest crowd ever to attend a non-

college basketball game in the}
gym, was close all the way until

Buescher started his sniping at the
basket. Dow held a slender 29-27
lead at the half as Milo Komenich,
Bob Hunt and Al Dietzel of the
visitors traded baskets with Lee
Brooks, Earl Giles and Rollie Jen-
sen of the Steelers. —

The Steelers ‘started out strong
in the second half, with Rollie
Jensen and Brooks ripping the-net-
ting consistently and held a mo-
mentary. lead, 37-36, as Gordon
Scott streaked under the basket
for a spectacular lay-up shot. But
Komenich’s tip-in pushed the Dow
five back into the lead and Hunt
added'a free throw to make*it 39-
37. Brooks sank a long side shot
to tie the game again.

But Billy Hassett hit from the

side; Hunt dropped an under-the-
basket shot, and then Buescher
flipped in three long shots and that
spelled finish for the Steelers,
Hunt was high scorer for the
game with 15 points, while Jensen
was high for the Steelers with 13.
