j Bud Larsen, Springview’s
center, wrecked the hopes of
the Trojans. The difference be
tween Larsen's being a very
good ball player and a mag
nificent ball player was the
difference between the two
teams.
The Indians were in front
5-3 at the end of the fiaral
frame; 15-10 at intermission;
23-22 at the end of the third.
The Trojans came out for
blood in the third, and their
fast-break unnerved the bigger
Indians.
At one stage the Hartington
parochial quint was ahead, 16

great Larsen gave the Indians
the impetus needed to recover
and grind out the victory.
Larsen potted 21 points,
