ISrfnrc Rupert Dnflg JSctos Wednesday, January 22, 1947 Basketball POWERHOUSE SQUADS OF SENIOR LEAGUE CLASH - HI SCHOOL WINS Driving at killing speed, the two powerhouses of the Senior "A" Basketball League fought through four furious quarters before a howling crowd in last night's Savoy and High School mix-up at the Civic Centre. It was not until the dying seconds of the game that the students were assured of victory. The final score was 45-36 with the1 High S:hool leading all the way. Although they had the lead throughout the game the Savoy squad were always breathing down their necks close behind. The game was fast and furious with the two rivals battling each other for the win. Leading 15-11 at the end of the first quarter the students had to move to keep out In front and In the second quarter they stepped right out and left the Savoy five even farther behind 26-16. But this was as far as the hotelr men would let them go. After the much needed breather Savoy speeded up the pace and crept within three points of the students before the lads of green and gold could get started again. At the three-quarter mark the score was 36-31 with the Savoy squad pounding hard. Then, just after the fourth quarter got .'.started and as their last period -drive was under way tragedy struck the hotelmen when Joe Davis was sent to the showers with five personals. This took the wind from, the Savoy sails momentarily and, while they .were collecting themselves, the students moved out In front stiil farther. With time against them and minus one of the star players the Savoy began to get clicking again. But before they knew it the bell sounded with the score standing at 45-36 and the students chalking up their third; straight win. The two officials in this game had a tough time cut out for themselves in refereelng. It was fast and close 'but, by calling what they saw and when they saw it, Jack Lindsay and Fred Calderone kept this game well under control. A total of 25 Den-alties were handed ,out, 12 in Savoy and 13 to the High School Savoy M. Holkestad 11, T. Arney 11, R. Holkestad 4, D. Arney 2, J. Davis 4, R. Vucko- vich 1, R. Haugan 1, D.

The Sweets fought hard but were unable to cope with the stronger Rainbird offense, and from the opening quarter the stndents were way out in front. By the end of the first quarter the co-eds were leading 10-3. Sweet Sixteen f'll still farther behind by the half with the score standing at 23-7. The third stanza was by far the best for the Sweets when they held down the Birds to a mere 4 points while they managed to net 3. But with the start of the last quarter the Ralnblrds iwamped their rivals and came pounding into the final second away oult in front. The Sweet Sixteen squad Is nevertheless, be-ginning to show definite improvement and, before Ion;, will be giving their high flying opponents in the ladies league a run ior their money.

But then in thei second quarter Grotto came back ana put on some real razzie-dazzle ball playing that stumped their opponents and allowed the Grotto to move into a 15-9 lead at the half. The second half was fast and furious with both teams fighting hard. Watts and Nickerson came thundering back and had the score whittled down to a couple of points difference.
