The score on the round was 45- It was one off the most exciting basketball games 'we have had the chance ta wvitness, especially in the second quarter. in the first part off the game P.C.V.I. scored lour point.s ta make the score 8-0 on the round. Then the bantams broke baose. Larny Chant, who play ed a very effective two-way game throughout, broke the spel for the first local basket.

The mast unbelievable shot came as P.C.V.I. was making a final bid ta get 'back inta the game, late in the last quarter. Taylor fired a bullet-like shot in the general di- rection off the basket. No one was more surprised than Taylor when it went in, ta clinch the tiffle. B. H.S. had been stalling for time, passing the bahl back and forth in their own end. Taylor's shot was 1!!'
