Gold And Blue Netters . . . nasium a few weeks later to deliver the first licking that they had dealt in ten years on the local court. After a desperate try to make up for the difference in height, the locals again were turned back by the Wil- liam and Mary B. Leading the rally was Stephenson, who counted for eighteen points in the 39 to 38 score. Their arch rivals, the Granby Comets, dealt the locals a terrific onslaught by such standouts as Chuck Stobbs and Barney Gill. The Connmen were outployed, to the tune of 4l to 32. Fortifying themselves with a little more precaution and experience for the return fray the boys in gold and blue again were knocked back on their heels in the second stanza, after trailing by two points in the initial opening. A tired and weary group returned to this side of the bay with the short end of a 48 to 36 score. The win column again held the name of the Ty- phoon when the newly rated class A school of Hope- well provided the locals with their first conference vic- tory and when the Typhoon employed a tight defense to defeat the Wilson Presidents, 29 to 2l. Stephenson led his team to victory with l5 markers. On their previous Portsmouth encounter the Connmen were edged out by ci 3l to 30 count. Taking to the road, the locals met the Duke frosh, and exhibited their best basketball manners to give the highly favored boys from Duke a real tussle. Led by Lou Taylor with I2 markers, the Connmen played one of their best games of the season, but dropped the tilt 29 to 27. While journeying along, the hardwooders en- countered the Navy plebes at Annapolis and were met by a deluge of points which totaled 52 to 3l. The Benedictine Saints from Richmond gave the locals a hard earned victory from a stubborn squad which finally succumbed in time for the Typhoon to walk off the court with a 33 to 3l noseout.
