half wag completed they were well

they coasted easily, matching Roosevelt basket  for basket.
Joe 3Martin was the only Hornet
who didn't tally at least once. He
played a good game but had the
ill-luck of missing many close ones.

Saline's second team looked good
in winning 30 to 13 against the

Tuesday night the Hornets met
Edison liistitute at Dearborn and
were set back on their heels with a
45 to  24 defeat.
Saline was weakened considerably
with the loss of Bamer and Tower
who are both sick and had to use
the second team for almost the entire game.

Hornets with 11 points.
