Malverne Nips Marine 5 43-42 . . . Malverne High School's Basketball Team which is supposed to walk through Section Two of the S.S.A.l... was hard pressed to get by a fighting Long Beach Team. ln one of the most exciting games that has ever been played on the Long Beach court, Bill Shelly and Harvey Weisenberg matched John Cirino, the Malverne star, basket for basket. Towards the end of the game, Malveme's superior height began to make itself felt, so that with less than two minutes to play, the Mules enjoyed a seven point lead. It was then that the Marines made their final bid for victory. Led once again by Shelly and Weisenberg, the scrappy Marines cut the lead to three points, when with but three seconds left to play a desperate basket by Jack Michelson brought Long Beach to within one point of a tie. l-lowever, time ran out and the Marines had to settle for a 'icourageous attemptfi' Beachers Outlast Sailors 49 - 46 . . .
