In the first half Lincoln, outscored 12f4, was totally topped by the Hornemen. However, manifesting that spirit peculiar to Lincoln teams, they staged a remarkable comeback. They banged away at the Hilltoppers, tossing bas' kets at every angle, to outftally them 2Of4, and to clinch a 24-16 victory. Lincoln 24-Emerson 31 In its second encounter, the Big Blue dropped a 31f24 verdict to a strong Emerson Five. It was the inability to convert free throws that cost the Lincoln Cagers this victory. Out of nineteen free tosses, they scored on only six. This put them behind at the half, 17f8. Prospects seemed brighter after the half. Rallying bravely, the Lincoln dribblers cut down Emerson's lead to one point. They failed, however, to develop a winning punch. Sinnott, scoring eleven points, stole the show.

Still somewhat handicapped by inexperif cnce the Blue and White found itself unable to click against the Saints
