The under- dogs were sparked by lanky Jim Fraser, who dragged out seven points by the half. The Pintos' rally lasted three full periods.

The game was a 50-34 decision for the Red and White courtsters across the way. Dave Allen scored openly with 11 points for the losers while Clark scored 19 points for Rumford I ' Mexico 9 19 31 34 Rumford g 7 19 33 50 MEXICO AT JAY FEB. 26 Jay-The Pintos staved off a desperate attempt to rally in the final frame of a thriller at Jay.
