SUCCESSFUL

Puget Scund Collece, Seattle,
bowed under to Douglas men Friday
in a scorching, Sharp-shootina.
teeter-tottering hasketball game
down south. Even scores at the
half (46-46) turned in our favour
(95-91) by the final buzzer

Towards the close of the game
a host quard named Morse closed a
10-point Douglas margin with deadly
outside shooting. The visitors
braced themselves and manufactured
two unanswered baskets to end it.

The game was an undisputed crowd-

pleaser with 186 points dropping
through in total during 40 minutes
of play.

~All seven Douglas Dudes. scored,
chief Hot Dogs being: Lee Stevens
with 19 points, Hugh Davies with 18,
Ralph Baby Switch, 17, and Steve
Hyneck, 12.

The Puget Sound team drove and
forced the pace for most of the game,
hupina that the travellers would
fall apart., However, our intrepid
heroes responded with stubborn check-
ing, a parcel of steals, and good
shooting.

This palate-pleasina result sets
the season's tally to date at 4 and 3.
