‘COURT CHATTER
By HLR
Since we did not make the journey

to Downs last evening, we missed

| what was undoubtedly a most inter-
| esting battle. From Jim Beardmore,
we learn the individual shooting fig-
ures as follows: Quick shot 10 field
goals to make two while counting one |
free throw in one chance; White at-
| tempted 5 field goals to score one
and had noc harity chances; Conn
| shot ten field goals and counted three
as well as 5 of his 6 free shots; Olson
made one counter out of 6 field shots
| and failed on both free shots; Wray
| didn’t shoot from the court but tal-
lied 5 of his 6 charity chances, and

Maynard missed both field attempts

| but made one of his * gift shots.

| For further notes on the game of
| last night, we have the following
| written by Ranold Plott who wit-
messed the game:
| The second team. game last night
'at Downs generated intense excite-
ment to make a fitting atmosphere
for the fine first team game that fol-
lowed. Early in the game the Downs
reserves showed considerable mas-
tery .over the Trojan seconds, but
in the third quarter the Trojans
warmed up and burned the hoop net
with a fusillade of successful shots to
bring the score to an even balance.
From that point until the end of the
game the lead shifted back and
forth with rapid succession, and al-
though Beloit was two points be-
hind just before the gun Frank sunk
a shot that tied the game. In the over-
time period, Downs monopolized the
ball giving them the chance to score
before hardly a half minute was up.
If the Trojan first string had kept
up its fast-breaking pace it started
last night, another story might have
been told. The Trojans started’ off
against the Dragons with hot-shots
and quick-break playing unprece-
dented for the Trojans in first-quar-
ter work. A comfortable lead was
claimed by the locals at the end of
the first quarter but the second quar-
ter the Dragons revealed their real
stuff and held the Trojans scoreless
while they themselves piled up a nice
pointage during that quarter. The
second half found both teams bat-
tling their hearts out, with Downs
Maintaining -a-. slight advantage
throughout.
