Driscoll Wins 'In Overtime The Driscoll cagers kept on their victorious way by downing North side Jr. High, 28 to 25. The Hurri- canes led in every quarter. They were leading 9-7 in the first quarter, and kept their lead at half time 16-15. During the third quarter it was a nip and tuck affair with the Hurricanes again coming through, and leading at the end of the quarter 20-19. The fourth quarter was really a thrilling one. With less than a minute to play, North Side was winning 26-24-. Then Sammy Garza got the tying two points to make it 26-Q6 at the endof regular time. During the 3 minutes over time, both 'teams had plenty of chances at the basket. Nobody could find it until David Leyva sunk his 'two free shots to make Q8-26. The game ended shortly after. David Bre- mer was high point man for Driscoll with 8 points. The B Team also won 27-26. Dialing Is G0d0Y-, Beth H3111 Lynda HHTITIOTI, Go on VVith the Wedding .

Monday, January 30, 1956 T HE P R A I R I E P R E S S Page 3 Hoop-Crazy Hillsdale VVhen game time came Coach Sirnp- son still didn't know what was in store for the coming four quarters. This game would probably decide the championship of the conference. During the first quarter Coach Simpson found out what kind of trick the Cypress coach had up his sleeve, much to his regret. They were using a daring defense, with the forwards and guards going after the ball and their center guarding Tip like glue. The trouble was the defense was working and at the end of the first quarter the score was Cypress 20, Hillsdale, 8. The second quarter turned out the same way and the first half ended with Cypress leading 34-24-. But Snuffy fired them up to a fighting pitch. They came out with fire in their eyes and finally pulled the game out with a last ditch stand. The final score was Hillsdale 56. Cy- press 53. This just about sewed up the championship although they had another close shave with Slunkerlop by a score of -'1-9-41-7. The State Championship would be coming up in a month and the last game of the season was coming up with Lineingford this week and that would leave over three weeks of prac- tice for the tournament. The Line- ingford game was won with Hills- dale winning hy a score of 45-39, while the second and third string played most of the game. Coach had no thoughts one way or t.he other than to win or lose, He had high hopes for his team but wouldn't be too disappointed if they lost. CTO be continuedj UCC Basketball Tournament Driscoll's Rangers played North- side in the first round of the tour- nament Nfonday January 16, at Me- morial Auditorium. The Rangers won by a score of 34-25 in a game that was very finely played as all the tour- nament games were. High point man for Driscoll was Melisio Garza who scored six out of Driscoll's first eight points and wound up with ten points. High point for Northside was Homer Nlascorro with 12. The second round of the tourna- ment in which Driscoll played was against Baker on Tuesday at 4:00 o'cIock in the afternoon. The final score of this wild affair that finally ended with Driscoll on top was 30-27. At the half the Rangers were ahead by a '19-I0 score, But the second half was a different story. Baker came back with a valiant surge that was hopeless. Leading scorer for Driscoll was Sammy Garza with. ten points. Dropping in the most points for Baker was Richard Cook, with 15. The final round of the tournament was played Tuesday night after Dris- coll had defeated Baker and Cunning- ham defeated Sundeen. This was real- ly a rough and tumble game. It was a losing cause since the Rangers lost the game by a 46-33 score. Driscoll pulled up to within six points of Cunningham, only to fall behind to never catch up. Cunninghanfs big center, Lee Fant sacked in seventeen points to lead the scoring for the Cogars and th.e game. High point man for Driscoll was Billy Howell with twelve points.
