PIONEER Sports February 2, 1944_____________Page 5 GIRLS CAGE LEAGUE RAMBLERETTES COP CROWN HAMAMOTO SINKS 33 IN FINALE Dumping the game, but rough-house Topper sextet 45-27 Monday evening with a last half scoring surge, the Ramblin' Ramblerettes concluded their five game league schedule with a per- fect record to breeze into the 1944 Girl's league championship. Once again it was all Sepol's one-hand shooting dynamo, Norma "Luisetti" Hamamoto who tallied a blis- tering 33 points to pa c e her sextet to another easy victory. She came within the width of a cat' s whisker of tying Spurs' Teruko Mi- yano's 34 digit gym scoring record. With Misako Kawaguchi leading the Topper attack, Shig Sakamoto's cagerettes put on a surprisingly strong battle in the first half and had the Al Kato all- stars hanging by the ropes. And by constantly blowing away easy set-shots the Ramblerettes were heId to 18-13 advantage at midway point. Only the superb defensive work of Empire State Mary Yokoyama and I- got-you-covered Janet Ku- bochi enabled Kato to live thru that first two stanzas without a relapse. Besides being a thorn in the side of the Sepol Ramblers all night, Toppers ' Kawaguchi managed to tank 12 markers by dropping the ball via stratosphere. Summary: RAMBLERETTES (45) Hama- moto 33, Kanda 8, E. Sugi- yama 2, Kato 2, forwards; Kubochi, Yokoyama,Onomiya, Akutagawa, guards . TOPPERS (27) Kawaguchi 12, Washino 9, B. Kochi 3, Wallace 3, forwards; Soto- mura, Miyamoto, I. Umekubo D. Umekubo, Nagai, Y. Kochi, guards. FIREMEN. FINANCE OUT FOR VICTORIES TONIGHT The red-hot Firemen quintet will clash with the luckless, cellar-dwel- ling Lil' Abners'in tonight's feature tussle. Blazing through four consecutive victories, the undisputed leaders of the single-A circuit should not find much competition from the hapless Abners.With point- garnering Rusty Uratsu and. George Matsui formulating the high scoring attack and dependable Nebb Oda and Mits Omoto teaming up in the back court, the Firemen have developed into one of the toughest aggregations in the league. The Lil' Abners on the other hand still lack a scoring punch and will have little hope of pulling an upset. In the preliminary game slated for 7:15 o'clock, the Finance cagers, rest- ing on top of the Industrial loop, will meet the chal- lenge of the second place Screwdrivers. The league leaders eked out a close triumph over the Garage five in the first round but since then have lost some of their potency with speedy Tad Mukaihata missing from the line-up. The con- test is tabbed a toss-up, another low-scoring rough and tumble affair. FLUSHERETTES TRIUMPH 35-22 The Spurs sextet was lowered to the bottom of the girl's league in the Sunday afternoon, curtain- raiser, as the flashy Flusherettes swept to a 35-22 victory. Tom Kashi- wabara's six forged in front and maintained the lead to hold a 18-13 margin at the midway mark.The Flush- erettes slowly but surely pulled away in the last half to make it an easy verdict. Spurs' Teruko Miyano, sinking 16 points, took the lead in the individual scoring race, while Mazie Asakawa and Yoke Nakano lead the winners with 14 and 13 markers, respective- ly. Summary: FLUSHERETTES (35) Asa- kawa 14, Kashiwabara 8, Y. Nakano 13,Yahiro,Yamasaki, forwards; A. Nakano,Atagi, Makino, Ogawa, Hatamiya, guards. SPURS (22) T.Miyano 16, Morita 4, J. Yamasaki 2, Toyama,D. Hikiji, M. Hiki- ji, forwards; Miyahara, Murata,Mamatani, Kumasaki, guards. ZEPHYR-HURRICANE. INDUSTRIAL CAGE TILTS SET FOR TOMORROW The main attraction of tomorrow night's twin bill will find the flashy Zephyrs tangling with the Hurricaners at the local gym.The youth- ful Zephyrs showed plenty of speed and scoring punch in last week's Lil' Abner massacre and if they con- tinue their scoring spree it should be another easy triumph for the red-clad cagers. But don't count the Hurricane five out too soon, with high-scoring Tomizo Joe leading the at- tack, they're gunning for an upset and can easily turn the trick. The Hospital "Polios" and Butcher five will mix up in the curtain-raiser at 7:15 o'clock in what is expected to be another typ- ical Industrial league rum- pus. The Slaughterhouse cagers took the opening round engagement and,though the "Polios" have added more players to their squad, Butcher boys are expected to repeat.
