After setting the pace for three
stanzas, the O’Neill high Eagles
fell apart in the waning moments
and yielded to a determined band j
of Page Eagles in Tuesday night’s
second game. Page won, 51-42.
O’Neill led, 16-13, at the end of
the opening stanza and stretched
the margin to 26-21 at the half.
i be Page crew, gaining moment
um and confidence as the game
moved along, went ahead, 42-40,
with five minutes remaining. Page
abandoned the aggressive routine,
began stalling and gambled on a
number of O’Neill misques. O’
Neill flubbed a set shot and three
times handed the ball to Page in
those dying moments.
Duane Alton’s 19 points were
best for O’Neill. Everybody got
into the scoring column for Page
with H. Troshynski and Stewart
contributing 14 points apiece.

Second Round
Atkinson 54; St. Mary’s 46
An uncanny demonstration of
freethrow tossing by Atkinson’s
Gary Small featured the first half
of Wednesday night’s twin bill in
the second round of the annual
Holt cage tourney.
Small hit 14 gratis flips out of
14 tries—a nifty 100 percent for
accuracy. The Atkinson Balers
paced the threatening St. Mary’s
Cardinals all the way and won,
54-46.
Atkinson, the favored team in
the meet, eased to a 12-10 margin
4t quarter time and was in front,
22-20, at the half. The Balers be
^an to pull away after leading,
36-32, at the end of the third.
David Schaffer, SMA long man,
was outstanding on rebounding
nd freethrows for the losers.
Iom Head showed well with his
gor game for St. Mary’s. But
Small’s 14 freethrows plus seven
fielders, totaling 28 points, proved
tVjormuch.
