Friday the thirteenth and the dey of our hardest game! What e combination. And it was an unlucky dey--for Mansfield. Everybody agreed that it was ot this game that Central displayed her best hrwnd of basket hell. Winning this game meant more thnn winninq sny other on our schedule. ln the first quarter Central put up Q defense that was not penetrated once by the Mansfield team. The score was 5 to O, Centrdl's favor. During the second quarter, however, Mansfield opened Q pivot pldy that our defense seemed unable to stop. The score at the half was lO to 8, Hnnsfieldfs favor. The third quarter again gave us Q lend, this time l6 to l2. During the lest qudrter the scores were seldom over two points spurt. With three minutes to plmy and e lend of l8 to 21, Central enlled time out and attempted e stall. The Mansfield defense came out to break it up and We scored Qnother basket, our lest. In the last few minutes of play, Mansfield began e long-shot attack which netted them two baskets and ell but won the game. The final whistle blow with Central one point ahead, sooro E3 to 22. Of the six genes we have plvyed John Simpson, Centrnl has won two--each by s one point margin. Februery ld--Central vs Crestline--at Crestline.

Probably the whole thing started when the boys found thit in transferring our equipment from one Cnr to another, the new suits had hcen left on n side- walk in Marion. The team went en the floor dressed in second team jersies with pants borrowed from the Crest- line players. During the game, ns referee Mackey of O.S.U. ezzpressed it, Everything happened but fl fire. Both guards loft the game on personal fouls. For the first time during the season Whitcum was off.
