The standing' in the COF league is the town emporium the MAACS could j the closest in years and the boys are The MAACS acquired their second Itraight Wme victory by taking the Foulds Macaroni five into camp Sunday in one of the weirdest games ever witnessed on the home floor. The •core was 20-10 and just about describes the contest, for such it was despite the seemingly one-sided victory. The Ponies provided the excitement for the afternoon when the young lads ran up the count to 42-22, ten men seeing action in the Ponies' lineup and most of them entering the •coring column. The MAACS had trouble throughout the game tryig to get their offensive working in smooth fashion, but were still floundering around when the final gun went off. Despite this failre their defense was functioning perfectly, so much so that the last nineteen minutes of the game found Lib-, ertyville's score remaining at 10 points. At the half the count was 10-7 with the MAACS striving to hang onto their slendter margin. Foulds came b«ck with a soft baiig at the start of the third quarter and tied it up at 10 all and then became so submissive that they proved harmless the rest of'the gajne. Coach Dutch Bacon shifted his linkup; in an attempt to get. mo?*^firing power by shifting Fay to forward and replacing him with Harrison- Whiting hasn't been hitting his old stride and as a result the attack has suffered. Whether or not this new com- 167 4961 bination will work remains to be seen as but little could be determined by the erratic showing in this last game. Dowell, who has been confined to bench activity through a slight illness s0 far this season, will most likely break into the lineup in the near future. The Ponies, led by Bill Kreutzer, "Tippy" Schreiner and Art Krause swept through the opposing ranks like in the days of old and pushed the scoreboard up to the highest points of the year. As far as a contest is concerned the game wasn't so much but it was interesting to watch the array of talent on display, talent that will be replacing some of the older boys before many more years haw passed. Laycock proved to be a lifesaver for the Foulds youngsters with his twelve points in the last half, accounting for more than half the visitors' points after he was substituted for A. Hap'ke.
