With

Savoy
took
a
45
to
30
win
Xrom
the
hard
working
B.C.
Packers
swad
in
Saturday
night's
Senior
"A"
basketball
tussle.
Following
Senior
League
reorganization
the
Packers
had
quite
a
bit
of
trouble
shuffling
th;ir
players
around
and,
consequently,
their
offensive
could
not
Quite

tb
get
clicking
the
way
it
should.
The
first
quactcr
ended
With
Savoy
having
a
slight
edge
7
to
4.
In
the
second
psricd
they
increased
tliis
to
19-12.
The
Packers
fought
back
hard
but
could
not
sWp
the
smooth
working
Savoy
quintet.
By
the
third
quarter
Savoy
had
moved
well
out
in
front
31
to
18
but
the
Packers
never
gave
up
and,
although
they
battled
hard
to
narrow
the
margin
down,
they
were
still
15
points
on
the
short
end
of
the
score
at
tlu
end.
Now
that
the
B.C.
Packers
have
been
strengthened
by
the
addition
or
some
new
players
thr
Senior
loop
should
be
displaying
very
tight
games
in
the
future.
With
the
basketball
executive
cancelling
the
first
half
of
the
season,
the
three

race
for

Co-op
Wins
Over
Fort
Edward
Co-op
had
an
easy
time
in
the
Senior
"B"
mix-up,
taking
Port
Edward
by
a
35-22
score.
The
cannerymen
lacked
their
usual
zip
and,
with
their
star
player,
.Gurney,
dropping
in
only
12
points,
they
had
very
little
chance
to
give
the
Co-op
squad
any
real
scare.
But
it
was
a
fast
game
with
both
teams
battling
hard.
It-was
just
one
'of
those
off-nights
for
Port
Edward,
the
yery
opposite
holding
true
for
the
Co-ops,
nearly
all
of
whom
had
their
turn
at
the
hoop.
Coop
jumped
into
the
driver's
seat
parly
in
the
game
with
an
18-1
lead
at
the
first
quarter.
But
Jn
the
second
period
Pott
Edward
managed
to
narrow
it
down
by
a
few
points
to
close
the
first
Jialf
still
on
the
short
side
24-13.
fn
the
second
half
Port

managed
to
net
only

points
While
Co-op
widened
the
gap
still
more
with
the
11

got.
