WWE lb SUM? PAGE G2 It was a wild and wooly game at Bath that the Morse Shipbuilders finally won, thanks to 24 foul shots, over Sanford. 50-42. Things were considerably livened up along about the end of the first half, when both referees saw the same foul and proceeded to call the infraction on two separate Sanford players, Nadeau, who actually committed it, and Simpson, who was several feet away from the scene. This climaxed two periods of sloppy officiating, and Coach Deetjen forth- with gathered up players and equipment and left the tloor to Morse and its officials. After an absence of several minutes, Deetjen agreed to finish out the tilt. Ouellette of Morse then sank his two foul shots and one more taken tor a technical against Sanford for leaving. The Shipbuilders held a 25-20 lead over the Redskins at the half, and out- scored Sanford in the third period for a 40-3: advantage which they rlnng to through the final canto. Sanford was considerably weakened by the lass of four key men-Simpson, Nadeau, Caramihalis, and Mclieon-via personal fouls. Although they outscored Morse from the floor, the Redskins sank only twelve fouls while Morse dropped in twenty-four. 'F IF il 41 History almost repeated itself at Portland, when Sanford High met Westbrook at the Exposition Building for the second time in as many years. lfans who re- called last year's 45-II druhhing which the Blazes handed the Orphans then, had visions of another such occurrence, when with fourteen minutes already gone in the Hrst half, the 'Brooks held a I7-3 lead over Coach Deetjen's crew. Those three little points were the result of a series of free throws hy Bill Nadeau. and it wasn't until the half only had fifteen seconds to go that the tirst field goals for Sanford were tallied. two of these finally dropped in by Bob Blake. Thus NVest- brook held a 17-S lead at the half. ln the second half, though. the fans saw a new team. ln less than .15 second-1, Blake and Nadean had each scored for the Redskins, and XYesthrook called a time out to talk things over. Blake and Gouzie then exchanged foul shots, but Hanson scored for the 'Brooks to leave them with a 20-I3 edge. 1-Xt this point Sanford began to pour it on. McKeon tossed in a free throw, lllake laid up a two pointer, Nadeau scored two foul shots. then he and lllake hulged the twine with a field goal apiece. lVhile this was going on, Westbrook sneaked in one foul shot. This burst by the Orphans knotted the count 21 all as the third quarter closed. In the final period. Simpson dropped in a field goal to offset one hy Chamard. 'l'he 'Brooks scored a field goal and a foul to go ahead 26-23. but lilake knotted the count again with a field goal and foul of his own. Finally. just before thc automatic time out, VVestbrook tallied from way out. and Sanford never quite caught up again, After the time out, Blake made a free throw good to leave the Redskins behind 28-27, hut Hanson, Chamard, and Gouzie used the game to give XN'esthrook the victory. 34-27. Blake and Nadeau were the big guns for Sanford, while Chamard sparked the victors. tr ss tr :- Sanford finally came through in a rough battle at the Saco :Xrmory to get re- venge for an earlier defeat hy the TA hoopsters as they fought to a 38-32 victory over Thornton. The Orphans picked up a 7-6 lead at the end of the first canto, and were never headed throughout the rest of the game. Harold NYa1sh, who has previously seen very little action in Sanford's other games, proved to be the spark plug of the Redskin attack in the second quarter after he had replaced Simpson, who retired temporarily with four fouls against him in the first period. XValsh dropped in three field goals in this quarter.
