The 249th Ord. hoopsters
continued to surprise all
basketball followers by cop-
ping two more victories to
remain the only undefe-
ated team in the Keflavik
League. Down Reykjavik
way the Knox 1 team ran
roughshod over the Hqs.
IBC team 104-41, ‘in what
was probably the farewell
game for several of the Knox
players, who are scheduled
to go home.
The victims of the 249th
Ord. this past week were the
509tli Qm. and the 826th Sig.
teams. The Qm boys were
whipped 35-30 with Ells-
worth of Ordnance sinking
five goals and four fouls to
lead his team to victory. In
the Ordnance-826th Sig.
game the half time score
found the two teams tied at
13 all. The second half re-
sulted in a scoring spree
with Ordnance winning by
a 43-32 count.
Two victories were garn-
ered by the 1923d Engrs. last
week to keep them in the
running for the league
crown. Led by Swanson and
Hall, they whipped 826th
Sig. 38-25 and won from
Broadstreet via forfeit.
A stunning upset occurred
when the 92d Sta Hosp hand-
ed the Comms their first de-
feat 45-36. Sturey and Claw-
son led the Medics, each
scoring 11 points. It was also
the Medics first victory. The
thrill of this victory didn’t
last long, however, for the
Medics returned to their
losing ways later in the
week dropping an overtime
thriller to the MP’s 43-41.
In Reykjavik, the Marin-
es, paced by the brilliant
Mike Homa, completely out-
classed the Hqs IBC team.
Homa registered 38 points
falling
3 short of the Hqs
IBC total.
Another high-scoring af-
fair saw T. C. overwhelm the
Knox 2 team .77-42 with Cal-
ifa and Perry registering 28
and 25 points respectively
for the winners, while last
Frida}7 evening Hqs. IBC
dropped the MP’s 56-42.
Leon Hall of the Hqs. team
tallied 23 points to shine of-
fensively for the victors.
