“AA”  STARS  EKE  PREPSTERS
49-45, IN  BENEFIT  GAME
   Pulling  themselves to-
gether in the final waning
minutes of the struggle,
the overconfident local
“AA" All-Stars squeezed
thru with a 49-45 triumph
over the hard-fighting Ama-
che hi varsity cagers in
the second game of the high
school benefit basketball
doubleheader Tuesday night
at  the gym.
   The game started with a
bang, as the All-Stars un-
corked a neat tip-off play
which found John Kashiwabara
driving under the bucket
to dump a lay-up shot for
the initial score. A few
minutes later,the prepsters
took the lead, 5-4, on Jun
Furuno's charity toss and
Jack Hoshizu’s two baskets,
but Kashiwabara and Shimizu
collaborated to push the
All-Stars     in front at the
end of first quarter, 13-9.
''AA” aggregation clung to
their lead and held a 21-18
advantage at half time.
  In the third stanza,
the prepsters  made their
greatest challenge for an
upset    win    by  deadlocking
the score 21-all on Goi's
field goal and Okamura's
gratis throw, but Chick
Furuye's hook shot put the
All-Stars back into the
lead. Then, prepsters' big
Hank Shimada got “hot" and
dumped " three consecutive
buckets with Hoshizu hit-
ting two more ,Goi and Oka-
mura coming thru with one
each. At the end of the
hectic third quarter, the
high school quintet was on
the road to victory with
an  8-point  lead,   36-28.
   Midway in the last quar-
ter,  the All-Stars closed
the gap to 41-38,but prep-
ster Goi hit another bucket,
and back came All-Star Hama-
da making two charity tosses.
With Hoshizu shoving in an-
other score, the prepsters
held a 45-40 lead with four
minutes to go.  Then Aki
Watanabe cut loose with a
two-bucket barrage and with
Kashiwabara adding another
point on the high school
cagers too many time outs,
the All-Stars knotted the
count at 45-all. Veteran
Tosh Shimizu hit  a long
bucket to put the All-Star's
ahead, 47-45, with a minute
and half left. The high
school basketeers tried des-
perately to tie the score,
but Alfred Kato shoved in
the clincher  with five
seconds remaining in the
game .
   John Kashiwabara was the
high scorer for the evening
with  14, Shimizu bagging
10, and Watanabe 9. Tosh
Okamura and Jack Hoshizu
with 11 digits apiece shared
scoring honors  for  losers.

registered field goals con-
sistently to give the locals
an 18-12 lead at the half.
   In the third quarter,
the visitors' Corky Tyner
and Marjorie Parsley potted
sensational long shots to
put them back into the
game for a short time, but
Al Kato's forward wall,es-
pecially Norma Hamamoto
and Chizu Kanda, opened up
with a barrage of field
goals. The last canto saw
