Harrison "5"
Too Good By
52-46 Score
A furious last-quarter rally by
Clare in Tuesday's basketbalt
game with Harrison failed-to wipe,
out the Hornet load and left CHS
on the short end of a 46-52 score
Coach George Perry's team had
to be consoled by the knowledge
that the loss was not to a conference team and does not affect Mid-
Michigan B standings where the
Pioneers are tied for first place.
The Hornet five held Clare
scoreless in the opening slx-and-
cne-half minutes of play and thejr
lead at the quarter mark was 13-2
At one point in the game the Hornets opened a gap of 19 points in
tho scoring race. In only the final
period did Clare find the hoop to
outscore the. Harrispnites 24-11)
but time fan out with the local
cagei*s still trailing.
John Miller, the Pioneers' hi-
scorlng center was held to just 1*
points. He tossed in a single field
goal and two charity throws.
Incidentally,. Miller's two free
throws were the only two of fourteen Clare attempts to be successful.
Clare High's four-game home
stand thus stands on the records
at the 500 percentage mark, Vjo
tories were scored against Chesaning and Mt Pleasant. Losses
were inflicted toy Shepherd and
Harrison.
The basketball schedule is now
interrupted until January 25, when
CHS travels to Ithaca for resumption of the conference chase.

a strong bid for a first place tie
in the Mid Michigan "B" Conference came out of a 19-19 half-time
tie to overwhelm Chesaning by a
margin of 54-45.

they have the material to go a
long way with backboard clearing
