Independents Score
Second Win, 59-45,
Over Shamrocks
The Independents made it two
straight over the Shamrocks last
Saturday night, when they stopped
them in a free-scoring, free-fouling
melee, by a 59 to 45 count. Re
ferees called a total of 40 fouls on
the two teams, and in the free
throw column of the record hangs
the story of the win. Independent
marksmen counted 13 times in 20
chances, while Shamrock shooters
were ringing the bell three times
out of 20.
The game started slowly, with
the teams chasing each other up
and down the court for the first
five minutes, with neither side tal
lying. The first quarter score was
only 6 to 4 for the Independents,
but they settled down to work soon
after to build a consistently in
creasing lead. They were on top
30-20 at half-time, and ahead 43
30 at the third quarter.
Highlights of the game for both
teams was the handy help served
up by their substitutes. The Her
mon brothers. Ben and Jim. slip
ped on the Shamrock green again
to bolster the line-up. Third bro
ther George Hermon strayed to the
Independent ranks, where he and
his fellow forward Jim Gleason
should see a lot of court action this
season.
Two Independent players, Rex
Hardage at center and Lee Young
at forward, led in Saturday's scor
ing. Rex was good for 20 points and
Lee. playing with an injured hand,
for 16. Bud Billot dumped in seven
field goals and a foul shot for the
Shamrocks, while his fellow for
ward Miles France was counting
seven times from the floor.
