He's a big fellow who ranks high in our book. Fink, at the other guard post, was very much in the thick of battle and wis the only man on either team to have three fouls called against him.

Miller into a 26 to 28 lead as the half ended Free-Scoring Affair - The game was a free-scoring, wideopen affair with offensive basketball overshadowing team defense. Both teams worked hard with one common thought--get that ball and get it down to your own basket in a hurry. The visitors held a one point idvin-i _ , Woodstock tagc, M to 86, at the wd <A the \ period. The last quarter was marked by closer basketball, hard-fought, but cleanly contested. Woodstock ran up a 41 to 87 advantage with three minutes to go. Things might have looked dark to a less courageous team at this point, but the boys showed their mettle in that breath-taking finish. Team work wins. That's just what turned the trick for Coach Reed'« gang Friday night. s Individual Performance In reviewing individual performance, we might start with the two men mentioned in the last half minute of play, Vale Adams and "Buddy" Miller. Vale scored 16 points. That ought to let you know that he was very much in the ball game. "Buddy' played the best basketball we have seen him show since his Freshman year when he played on the second team. Besides scoring 11 points, he fought like a demon for possession of the ball and fed it to his team-mates time aft^r time. Knox wasn't up to his usual scoring, but many observers felt that his scrappy floor game ranked with the best. He was right in the game. Paul Justen pat in a lot of hard work taking care of the defensive basket and managed to sneak up to mid-fioor on one occasion to drop in a nifty long shot. Paul was a tower of strength in a spot where the going is -fctrp.ija TMMiTMi7vn " always tough.
