SECTION 2 —PAGES 9 TO 12
Eagles Hit Bassett;
Godel Tallies 15
A more determined and ag- [
gressive O’Neill high school
cage team took the floor Friday
night here and defeated Bassett,
37-28, for the Eagles’ initial win
of the season.
It was the third contest for
Coach Howard Dean’s Blues as
their work made their past per
formances look ragged.
Breaking up the visiting
team’s passes, bottling up their
offense and working setups and
plays, the Eagles were never
headed after the first five min
utes of the encounter.
I
With three minutes gone.
Lindberg set up a screen play
with Don Wagnon on the
scoring end. A minute and 15
seconds later Fischer, a Bas
sett forward, tallied from
side court to lie up the ball
game.
Then Lindberg and Don Go
del unleashed two fast buckets
and from that point on the
Eagles were in front.
O’Neill held a 9-7 lead at the
end of the first period and when
the teams took their intermis
sion, Bassett trailed 13-22. Go
ing into the last quarter the
Eagles were leading 29-23.
Dean’s pupils hit their peak
in the second canto. They scor
ed 13 points while the Rock
county team managed 6. It was
this second stanza that gave the
Eagles the margin of victory.
Diminutive Eagle forward,
Godel, was a thorn in the side
of the visiting “5” during the
entire evening. His uncanny
deadliness with a one-handed
push shot from side court and
his defensive work were out
standing. Godel’s defensive ball
hawking and pass interceptions
did much toward the Eagle vic
tory.
Godel was not only out
standing on his defensive
work, but look high scoring
honors for the contest. He
poured through 7 fielders and
a free throw for 15 points.
Teammate Don Calkins pound
ed the hoop for 10 points.
Lindberg, the cool pivot man
for the Eagles, set up offensive
plays and used his height in
taking a “good” percentage of
the rebounds off both boards.
In the curtain raiser, Baker
for O’Neill, hit 7 points, as the
seconds dropped the opener to
Bassett reserves, 29-13.

Scoreless From Field
In First Half
St, Mary’s academy Cardin
als clamped a lid on a tower
ing Holt Trinity aggregation
from Hartington on the O’Neill
rink Tuesday night and the
Cards won, 24-1?.
The lofty visitors couldn’t
connect from the field during
the entire first half
The first stanza was ragged
for both teams, but Coach Jack
Arbujhnot’s crew eased into
an 8-1 lead. Trinity’s Trojans,
numbering only one letfrerman
out of 10 on last year’s dis
trict champion class C team,
had tough luck under their
basket.
As the first canto ended For
ward Pat Hickey hoisted a
push-shot that stretched the
Card lead to 8T. *
The half ended 16-4.
Coach Ken Miller's Hart
ington kids caught afire tem
porarily in the third, but
the heat soon gave way to
frigidity. The visitors pour
ed in 6 points to St. Mary's
2 during those opening min
utes after intermission, but
the Cards stretched the lead
to 21-10 al the close of the
third.
Each team dumped in a
fielder in the last 30 seconds.
Forward Jerry Wills slipped a
quickiei in on a setup by guard
Johnny Joe Uhl for the vic
tors, then Trinity'S Guard Har
per countered.
There was a bushel of fouls
called on both teams Three
Cards—Hickey, Shorty Miles
and Jack Gatz — went to the
showers via the roughing route
while Trinity’s Forward M.
Hausman likewise was a 5
time offender.
St. Mary’s speed and season
ing was largely responsible for
the win. The Trojans had the
height but lacked experience.
In a prelim the St. Mary’s
reserves won from the Tro
jans second’s, 13-11. The Har
tington seconds were an all
