The outset of the game gave no indication of the final score, as the Independents ' speed merchants, RICHARD LIVA. BURTON DOBLE, and WARREN PORTER, were bottled up and it remained for REX FENDERSON, ROBERT WARREN, and big MICHAEL LaROCCO 10 halt the attack of the vaunted Dons. Then the brain , WILLIAM LEONE, began to wave his magic wand over his bag of plays and, before the half ended, the score was 34 to o.

The Davets were a smooth team with fanatic accuracy in their passin g, a compliment to their coach GEORGE BAILEY. Baile) reallv has a good group of wizard ball handlers from Weymouth. Coach ROBER I CO I E, not to be outdone, brought an equally good team here tonight which employed the famous Rhode Island State type of play.

8 THE WEYMOUTH RECORDER WONDER TEAMS TIE AT GARDEN (Continued from Page 6) Hank Boucher finding the range, both out at mid-floor and under the basket. Former ail-American JOHN MURPHY led beautifully to set up these giants. RICHARD CARUSO was a stalwart on the defense and prevented the Celtics from scoring on many break away shots. The half ended, Celtics 49, Davets 41. As the third quarter began, it was evident that Bailey and Cote had inspired their teams with a pep talk. This period was a fast hectic one ending 58 to 58. There was little scoring while there seemed to be a private duel be- tween Caruso and Murphy, with each dominating the floor game of their team. Bitter Struggle It was plain that both teams w ere out to win in the final quarter. Swan ' s fantastic off-balance shots didn ' t miss, Doyle ' s set shots sang a tune as they swished through the nets; and Caruso, besides person- ally slowing the Celtics ' attack, scored ten quick points with his deadly right hand. Big Boucher and Hannaford really moved for big men and, if one missed a shot, the other put in the rebound. Murphy ' s floor game and set shots which suddenly connected also threw a monkey wrench into the Davets ' passing game. As the game ended, a long shot by Murphy arched in the air and fell in, tying the game 8g to 89. By a previous agreement, the game was to end at n;oo, so there was no overtime period. This game was the largest gathering of former Ail-Americans ever to play in one game. DAVETS Flayer G. F. P.

This slim beauty, who holds more Page Twenty ' four c - ' skating records than any other woman, really put on a show for the fans here last night. Barb easily proved to them why she is the champ she is. MASS. INDEPENDENTS (Continued from Page 6) Doble started it olf by streaking through the middle for 37 yards and a T. D. After that GERALD SULLIVAN was on the receiving end of a long Doble pass and later- aled to JAMES DUCA who scored Every time the Massachusetts team got hold of the ball, they scored Liva and Porter both tallied on end runs with hair-raising blocks being thrown for them by CHARLES FAULD and player-coach, ROBERT CLARK. As the half ended, the Mass. team had begun to show why they were considered the nation ' s best. The player-coach, ROBERT CLARK, was a student of the T formation and his team exhibited a flawless demonstration of it with beautiful blocking and line play. The second half was merely a runaway with the speed king trio of Doble, Liva, and Porter running tirelessly up and down the field. The hopelessly outclassed Dons, when they did receive the ball, were literally thrown back as proved by the yards lost— 93. Fauld, Warren, Clark, Fenderson, and LaRocco were diminutive rocks of Gibralter, while Jim Duca and Sullivan ' s great catches from Doble helped the backs run up the score. The power of the Massachusetts Independents cannot be over-esti- mated as can be seen by the statistics.
