The Freeburg boys lost no time, and with Eddie Bryan penperlng the Panthers zone defense for four successive baskets, jumped into a 15-8 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Midgets defense was specially plannedto stop the sensational Carl Schneider, who had-scored 55 points in the prev- ious meeting of the two teams, and he was so entirely stymied in his efforts to get away from Heiligenstein, and later in the game, Hubbard that he became too aggressive and left the game on fouls in the third quarter.. Schneider was held to but 5 points-his lowest of this season that had given him a 22 point per game average. The final score ended, Freeburg 55 and O'Fallon 54 and while a game with Mascoutah remained on the schedule, this victory actually decided the race and gave the Mid- gets their second Cahokia Conference Championship in four years. Mas- coutah came to Freeburg and were snowed undeq in a 95-28 attack. Box Score of Freeburg-O'Fallon Game .L ,-:-:-:-: 55 Freeburg F.G. F.T. Pls.
