when
they
went
onto
the
floor.
.Just
before
the
game
got
under
way
the
Mayor
of
Prince
Ru-jV?rt,
Mrs.
Nora
Arnold,
gave
the
lads
her
best
wishes
for
a
prosperous
trip.
Then
O.
A.
Hunter,
the
president
of
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
extended
the
good
wishes
of
that
organization
to
the
boys.
The
game
got
off
to
a
quick
'
start
with
neither
squad
show
Ing
any
mercy
for
their
rivals.
-Savoy
took
the
Jump
on
the
stu-
dents
to
open
the
scoring
but
quickly
the
Rainmakers
came
roaring
back
and
Jumped
Into
the
lead
Just
before
the
end
of
ond
frame
determined
not
to
let
a
repetition
of
Tuesday
night's
disaster
come
about
again.
But
still
the
students
marched
on.
Squeezing
a
few
more
points
from
Savoy
the
Rainmakers
Increased
their
lead
and
ended
up
the
half
out
in
front,
30-23.
The
second
half
was
a
ding-dong
affair
with
Savoy
really
trying
to
get
into
the
winning
side.
But,
although
they
came
within
four
points
of
the
stu-'
"dents,
the
third
frame
closed
-
up
at
4J-35.
The
last
frame
com
pletely
overshadowed
the
rest
:
of
the
game
for
thrills,
excitement,
fast
end
to
end
play
and
dazzling
shots.
Savoy
fought
right
up
to
within
two
points
of
the
Rainmakers
and,
with-
still
a
minute
and
a
half
left
to
go,
they
elected
to
take
a
free
throw
on
the
side
and
try
for
two
points.
Their
attempt
failed
but
.-almost
Immediately
they
were
Riven
another
free
throw
and
again
they
took
it
on
the
side.

Just
as
Savoy
were
gathering
their
strength
for
another
rush
at
the
students,
the
buzzer
sounded
to
end
the
tussle.
Thompson
of
the
Rainmakers
occupied
the
limelight
in
the
scoring
dropping
In
15
points
but
he
was
given
a
stiff
run
by
Rup

of

their

by
Haugan
of

who
moved
himself
up

the

of
the

The

In

last
half
of
