ion at the Naval Station Village Gym, as
the "comeback men", Medical pressed the
Mob into their only pressure game of the
season, thus far»
From the initial tap to the final
buzzer, the crowd roared with approval
to this outstanding floorboard demons
tration between the league's first and
second place teams.
Thursday the Geabees tasted defeat
for the first time on Adak, but much to
the dismay of our Captains Trophy League
teams, it was only an exhibition game
at Navcommsts. The Clam Lagoon team
managed to set back the independents by
10 points and at least the Bees are not
infallible.
Medical took on hopes of making the
Mob notch a pair of dumpings in succ
ession, but it was apparent that the
bridge builders were set against any
such wishful ixopes of their opposition.
Leading the Medical quintet in their
quest for victory were, Richardson, Sal
lie, Hanson, Maeys, Belcher and an un
known new center. As the scorebook in
dicated at the game's final', all eff
orts were in vain as the Bees chalked up
victory number 15, by a score of 49 to
j 45.
Pulling the hectic battle out from
I the hot fire that the Hedies had set was
j Kenyon, Gun, Skwara, Sanchez, and Dan
i iels. These firemen set a few blazes of
j their own though as they cane from be
j hind with only two minutes remaining to
I take the lead from Medical and make th
; ings quite warn for the frantic Medics.
The pressure play of the Bees proved
i fatal for the hospital five in the last
j few seconds as the just couldn't net
j the necessary four points for an all in
j port ant tie.
This game was without a doubt the
i thriller of the season and a hearty con
; gratulations to these fine athletes of j
i both teams and also for a magnificient j
j display of sportsmanship and fair play, j
Notes of interest on this game of the j
i week were? :
Daniels of the Mob accumulated four ;
I fouls in the first quarter, but still i
j managed to finish the game.Kenyon of j
j the Bees fouled out in the 4-th period :

; eight minutes of the last quarter*.. i
i Richardson of Medical hurt the Doc's, by |
j fouling out in the last quarter after a j
j brilliant backboard ballgane.along j
i with Rich, was the hustling Belcher, who j
•: also fouled out in the final minutes.... j
j The Seabee coach appeared on edge for j
r- the first time this season, as he put^^
} his men into an all-court-press ,man-to-^^
\ nan defense for the first time this sea- ;
! son....The referees put on their usual j
^ fine showing and a thanks for calling a j 4
