DeMolay last night smothered
the Douglas Firemen under an
avalanche of 27 field goals, which
combined with eight on gift toss
es, gave them 62 points while they
held the Islanders to seven field;
and three on free throws.
In the nightcap, after one of the
most stubbornly fought games of
the year, George Brothers took
the local Firemen into camp again,
35 to 32. Goals from the free
throw line gave the Grocers their
scoring edge over the smoke eat
ers.
Pelley Tops Scorers
Pelley led the DeMolay outfit
in its sensational attack on the
Islanders and penetrated their de
fense almost at will. He caged
eight from scrimmage and added
three single-pointers for a total
score of 19 points. Bloomquist was j
runnerup with 16 points.
The game was not as one-sided
as the score indicated. The Is- j
landers had many chances at the
basket but their marksmanship. I
none too good at any time, was
below par last night.
DeMolay’s combination worked
smoothly on both defense and of
fense. They were clearly the class
of the game.
Second Game Close
The second game was a nip and
tuck affair from the beginning.
The Grocers, in championship
form, grabbed a small lead in the
first quarter which they clung to
desperately until the end. Sev
eral times the Firemen were wdth
in the goal of tying but always
lacked the punch to achieve it.
Twelve personal fouls and two
technicals, on which the Grocers
scored seven points, were charged
against the Firemen, while the
latter chalked up four points on
seven personals by the Grocers.
The difference is the margin by
which the five fast delivery boys
won. Each quint caged the casaba
14 times from the court.
