Deichmann leads bees
to hoop win over Cards

Normans down stubborn
Whittier five 33-26

Finally reaching their scoring
potentialities, the Norman light-
weight basketball team van-
quished a stubborn Whittier five,
33-26, on the local hardwood
last Tuesday.

Leading the bee bucket. brig-
ade was ¥%ohn_ Deichmann,
speedy, diminutive forward, who
dropped 14 points through the
hoop. Tall, lanky Chuck Gibbon,
stellar center, looped in 12
digits. Beverly’s scoring was
completed by Rodney Sackett,
with 4 points, Dick Jones, who
sank a charity toss, and Dick
O’Leary, who chalked up 2
markers. _

Card center nabs 9

Whittier’s scoring was led by
Agee, speedy center, with 9, and
“Flash” Reyes, who rang the
bell for 7 points. Don Douglas’s
Cardinals employed an offense
unseen at Beverly before, but
Coach Sax Elliot had prepared
the team for it. —

Right after the opening whis-
tle, Chuck Gibbon and John
Deichmann gave Beverly a 4-
point lead. Whittier came back
to tie up the score at the end
of the first quarter, and half-
time found the Normans holding
_a slight edge. .
