INDlANS   GO   ON  “WAR-PATH”
TO SCALP  WILEY  CAGERS, 60-21
   Amache high Indians went
on the warpath and skinned
the visiting Wiley Panthers
by overwhelming 60 to 21
score last Friday night in
the first interscholastic
game of the season. Panther
five was held scoreless
during the first seven min-
utes of the game.
   From the outset Wiley
cagers were soundly cut-
classed and the game lost
all perspective of being
interesting or hard-fought;
at the end of the first
quarter the Indians were
breezing along on 21 to 2
landslide. Coach Hoke used
his second and third string
ers freely and the half-time
score of 28-15 in Amache
favor looked a little more
respectable.
   But the third canto saw
the home five widening the
gap unmercilessly and the
pressure was still on as
the game went  into the home
stretch. Hoshizu, Kajioka,
and  Kitagawa kept pounding
way while the  Wiley lads
looked on helplessly--they
scored 35 points among them.

tuck first Half. Bounce

with 8 points.
8-BALL  SECOND
CASABA  VICTIM
   The Las Animas hoopsters
went home with another AA
scalp by riding roughshod
over the hapless Eight-ball
quintet in what was labeled
as Sunday’s feature contest.
When the smoke cleared away
the tired and weary home
cagers found themselves in
the embarrassing short end
of 47-26 verdict.
   It started out like a
typical Amache basketball
game with the first quarter
being a close, hard-fought
tussle with the Eight-ballers
clinging to a precarious
8-7 lead.But in the second
stanza, things were dif-
ferent. Visitors wit h
speedy Ted Maruyama and
Frank Shiba scoring ten
points between them,    pulled
away to a comfortable 21-
13 count.
   In the third period the
game took on a little life
with the local cagers out-
scoring the Animas lad 8-7
but it was push a "flash
in the pan." With Nob Ku-
watani scoring five field
goals, in the last quarter
the Eight-ball five fell
apart completely and hit
the skids for a terrific
lopsided loss.

STARS  TWINKLE
TO  DUMP  SEPOL
   The Delta Shooting Stars
came to life, after being
held be a close, low-scor-
ing first half, and rode
on the crest of Cowl Takao's
effortless but accurate
one-hand shooting to dump
the Ramblerettes by 23-11
count in the Sunday curtain-
raiser.  Takao whisked the
pellet for 13 points to
take the heart out of
Sepol   lassies.
   Both sides played "de-
fensive" a during the
first half with the forwards
unable to connect and the
score     halted at   6  to  3   in
Deltans’ favor. But the
game took a more decided
aspect in the third quarter
with Takao and Nami Kino-
shita banging way with quick
buckets that had the Ram-
blerettes "hanging on the
ropes."     Besides    handling
ball   deftly and   "feed-
ing” Takao, shifty Kinoshi-
ta took “time out” to tally
8 digits for a good day’s
work.
   Summary:
Kiuoshita 8, A. Yamamoto,
Y. Yamamoto, Takao 13, Na-
goshi 2, M. Kinoshita, Ma-
tsuoka, Sueoka and Wada.

BRONCS DOUSE
FIREMEN  QUINT
   The flashy Bronco cagers
put on a death-dealing last
quarter splurge of under-
bucket points to trim the
tall but slow-traveling
Firemen by 34 to 24 score
in the second, game of Sun-
day’s triple-header. The
Broncos are definite threat
in the single A circuit.
   Both quintets were slow
in getting started. Fire-
men had the nozzle aimed
but couldn’t get enough
pressure thru the hose,
while the Broncos were jump-
ing all over the court but
couldn't hit the hoop.  The
"fire chiefs" could score
but 3 points in the initial
canto and the Broncos were
tamed to a measely one buc-
ket. But the second quar-
ter was Broncos' turn as
they gained a scant 12-10
lead at the  half-way point.
   In the second half the
blue-shirted "horsey-lads"
resorted to fast break that
shook Jack Ito, Jim Otsu-
ki and Hiromi Sato loose
time and again for easy
dump-shots. This triple-
threat action enabled the
Broncos to pull away from
their rugged foes to a 10-
point  margin  victory.
   The only Fireman who
could drench the twine with
any sort of alarm was Hi-
roshi  Uratsu with 12 digits.
