With the score gsadlocked ll to ll at the half, they played on even terms uring the second half, With the score at 25-25 when the 52 minutes were gone,Newburg came back with 4 points in the overtime period to clinch the game. Robertson, Hauser, and Wiseman with 6 points each for Gilman, and Cloyd with 12 and Stevens with 7 for Newburg led the scorers. Gilman was minus the reserve strength of Muckler and G. Green. Gilman, 40 - -,LeGrand, 22. The local lads bounced back after their initial defeat to decisively beat LeGrand. Leading 19 to 10 at half time, the Gilman boys were never seriously threatened. Robertson took scoring honors with 17 points. Wiseman tallied 10 points for the locals, while Shope with 14 points was high for LeGrand. G1lman1A6 - - Dunbar, 8. W Gilman trounoed the helpless Dunbar lads, in an une- ventful contest. Wiseman scored 14 points, Muckler 10, Robertson and G. Green each 8 points for G1lman,wh11e little Donnie Rosfjord scored 7 of Dunbar's 8 points. Gil- man led 19-4 at the half. Gllmag, ZQ-- f FergusonL,27l ilman took a high-scoring fray on the local floor from Ferguson, with Wiseman hotter than grandma's frying pan. Scoring from anywhere on the court almost at will, Bill put his uncanny offcolor shots through the hoop:17 times to make a total of 54 points, which is probably a record for the local floor. Robertson with 15 points for Gilman, and Slost for Ferguson with 15 were other leading scorers. Gilman led 55-17 at the half. Gilman,-g9,f,f Montour, 26 In a game which was easily Gi1man's best played con- test of the season, Gilman dudged Montour on the Montour floor which was a thriller until the final gun sounded. Coming from behind 14-18 at the half, Gilman played a su- perb game, especially through the efforts of Muckler and 'Skip Green, who were everywhere, getting rebounds, and stopping Montour defensively. Leading Montour was R. Vana, one of the smoothese players in the sect1on,w1th 15 points, and Muckler and Robertson with 7 points each for Gilman. Since Montour went to the state tournament last year, and this year went on to be beaten by Waverly,the State Champs, in the sub-state tournament, Gilman can well be proud of this victory. Since the locals also won the second team contest, it was the first double-setback Montour has suffer- ed during the last four years. -48-

No spring baseball was played in the spring due to the fact that school was out on May 5th, to help farmers with their work. Bill Wiseman was chosen honorary captain for the team. His work on the mound was one of the strong points of the team, striking out 45 men in the 6 games. - highlighted by the Green brothers, each collected 9 hits to bat'over The hitting was Gerald and Lewis, who .400. Power hitting was done by Lewis Green with 2 trip- les and 2 doubles,Riohsrd Spencer and Wayne Richardson each with 1 triple and l double, Gerald Green with l three bag- ger, and Bill Wiseman end Kenneth Ludlow each with e two bagger.
