FIREMEN  SUBDUE  LIL’  ABNERS
55-20; URATSU  TALLIES 32
   In leading his undefeat-
ed Firemen squad to a lop-
sided 55-20 victory over
the Lil’ Abners Wednesday
night, sharpshooting Rusty
Uratsu came within one
bucket of tying Teruko Mi-
yano' s individual gym scor-
ing record, Uratsu blazed
away for 32 points to set
a new men's scoring mark
but     it’s     still     in third
spot with Norma "Luisetti"
Hamamoto’s 33 digits good
for  the  runner-up  slot.
   Hapless Lil' Abners were
never in the ball game as
the Fire Department cagers
peppered the twine at will
to pull away to a 24-4 lead
at half-time, while the
Firemen defense had the
Abner scoring threats cover-
ed  like  a  blanket.

ZEPHYRS  OUT  OF  SINGLE-A  RACE
   The underdog Hurricane
quintet swept the Zephyrs
right off the court and
out of the running for the
single-A crown by handing
them a 33-2 3 defeat Thurs-
day evening.     The     Zephyrs
just couldn't get their
fast-breaking,high-scoring
offense to function as the
Hurricaners  grabbed the
lead and pulled ahead at

18-12 advantage. The Hur-
ricaners breezed through
the last two charters cling-
ing on to their lead, to
register an  upset victory.
