Cagers Scrap for Seven Victories in District Race Time out'’ was the frequent shout trom the clutch-coaching ‘'Bunny'' Saltz as he hustled the Bulldog five to the sidelines. Otten during these breaks, Chancellors saw the coach, with his boys hovered around him, illustrating weak points and areas of attack on a portable blackboard. It was evident that these time outs paid off; despite a los- ing season, the scrappy Bulldogs compiled more wins for the third time than had their predecessors. The season was kept alive with upsets and near-miss vic- tories, with the taming of tournament champions Douglas Freeman highlighting the year. The mid-season loss of a one-two punch in aerial acrobat Billy Jones (16.2) and the net-ripping Fred Butler (14.2) was felt by the team. Yet, they hung on to defeat Huguenot and scare first place Man- chester with a 35-34 freeze loss before a turn-away crowd. Accenting the defense was the snatch play of Bob Ukrop, who harassed opposing guards.
