Lake Boys Take Lead In League Kingston Township Boys Put Up Grim Battle, But Are humbled By More Experienced Playing of the Lake Warriors Offsetting a night of blowing numer- ous easy shots under the basket with the best passing, cutting and dribbling game that they have shown all season, Lake township defeated the Kingston township five with a 23-21 victory last week. With Traver getting the the tap, the Lake boys were slow tn starting, guards of the Brown and Gold capita- lized Traver’s tapping by cuting in and taking the ball and scored nine points in the first four minutes of play. Captain Kutchta organized his men in a short time. The five man defense of the Lake boys was showing to per- fection. The Laketon team surprised the capacity house and ended the first half with a score of 12 to 8. varsity The second half found the two teams fighting hard for victory and a better game of basketball was never witness- ed on the Laketon court. Had both teams been able to utilize their shoot- ing ability to convert their many per-| fect passes into baskets, the scores would have been much larger, but by blowing at least twenty shots, with no opposition to thwart them, the teams had to be contented with the points as registered. The shots missed were blown when perfect passing and cut- ting worked the ball under the rim, but it was nothing unusual to see a miss and also a retrive arched too high over the basket, The opening of the game found Kingston township scor- ing and it was no pleasant opening for the Lake fans when their players blew the easiest kind of shots with no guard close enough to lay a hand on them.
