Field House
Defeats Air
Corps 25-23
After getting off to a slow start,
the Field Housemen last night
staged a thrilling second half rally
to come out ahead of the Air
Corps, 25-23. Bad passing by the
Field Housemen and some excel
lent off the backboard work by
the Air Corps gave the latter an
early lead. Lieutenant Shaffer's
boys gradually settled down to a
surer pace, but not soon enough
to keep the Airmen from running
up a 13-9 advantage at half-time.
As the second half got under
way, it became evident that the
Field Housemen had begun to hit
their stride. Bill Casson started
things off with a pair of buckets,
and about mid-way through the
second half the score stood tied
at 18-all. Out of the melee came
a limping casson, who was
benched with a clipped hip, and
thereupon a determined McNeilly
dumped in the swisher which put
the stadium boys ahead.
Not long afterwards Big Chuck
Miles went down with a strained
wrist and for a while it seemed
as though the Field Housemen
were destined to finish the game
minus their two most valuable
men. However, both boys turned
out to be only mildly bumped and
re-entered the fracas to lead their
team to a 24-18 lead. For a few-
minutes the Airmen regained their
first-half pace, and as the score
mounted to 24-22, it looked like
the game might go into overtime.
tsut the best the Airmen could do
was to put in a free throw, and
tins feat the Field Housemen soon
duplicated. At the end the score
stood at 25-23, favor of the Field
House.
The most brilliant performance
of the evening was probably that
of Chuck Miles. Although he led
his teammates in the scoring, it
was his deefnsive work both be
neath the basket and on the floor
which made him stand out
Casson, McNeilly, Miles, Meck
ling, and Michels started the game
for the Field House. For the Air
Corps it was Rogers, Marthaler,
Michel, Ocanich. and Salmon.
Field House substitutes were
Froeschle, Brown, and Michels;
for the Air Corps, Jerris, Gine
berg, Komessar, and Michel.
