Action started in a hurry as PauLWalker’s lads grabbed a 5-3 lead. The B boys tied it up at 5-5, but Gene Neff poured in. two free throws to put the A lads back in front at 7-5. Tin n the dam broke. Vest pushed in a charity throw and followed with a bas ket. Marvin Bowling, six-seven center from New Boston, tipped in a rebound and Vest dropped a rebound and Vest dropped a pair from close in to put the B team in front, 14-7. It went from there to 19-8 as the first period ended and the tide began to turn. Paced by Smith and Joe Okruh- licz, another Hamilton product, the A team pulled into a 28-27 lead late in the second stanza. But this didn’t last long as Vest canned another fielder and a free throw* and Bill Grimes of Man chester added a foul toss to. put the B's back in front at 31-28 at halftime. The see-saw third canto end ed with the B boys still on the long end of a 41-39 score. Middle- town’s Jesse Mayabb knotted the score at 41-41 and N eff o f Eaton dunked two fielders to give class A a 45-41 advantage. But Paul Turner of New* Vienna canned one from the floor and Grimes put in another one to tie it up again at 45-45. But then Smith went to work, dropping in three bas kets to give the Class A team a lead it never lost. Individual awards were pre sented to each player On both teams as well as the Zanesfield cheerleaders, who made the trip here to give the Class B team an assist from the sidelines. 1 0 11 0 10 16 2 2 I Mayabb, f __ J.
