Rhubarb Heard at Clearwater Victory CLEARWATER — St. Mary’s academy Cardinals, of O'Neill, dropped a 41-48 decision to the favored Clearw ater Cardinals Fri day night on the tiny Clearwater rink. But feeling was running high among SMA partisans who witnessed 36 fouls assessed against the parochial team. One of the officials was Richie Ashbum, the Philadelphia Phils' baseball star, and it was the concensus of O'Neillites that the refs were whistle-happy, iwen ty-eight personals were called on Clearwater. Clearwater Forward Barrett, who breezed along at a 20-points per-game clip last season, was limited to 2 fielders by Big Ber nie Mohr, SMA center. Mohr proved to be the out standing performer of the eve ning. Besides hawking the great Barrett, he established a modern individual scoring record for SMA players. His evening’s total: 29. The game sorely strained rela tions between Ref Ashbum and Big Bemie, who have been life time friends. Mohr moved to O’Neill from Tilden, Richie’s hometown, not many months ago. Coach Duke Kersenbrock’s par ochial kids led 23-23 at intermis sion. Subzero temperatures chilled the SMA partisans no more than the officiating.
