Shavertown was in a panic Mon-

In the meantime, Loki stretched
himself lazily on the basement beam

eyes, and basking in the warmth.
Supper time on Shaver Avenue
would be soon enough to appear.
A warning bell sounded in his
head at six o'clock. It was time for
that pound and a half of raw goat-
meat, flanked by two raw eggs. For
dessert, there would be an apple, cut
into sections for easy nibbling. He
could shase a section across the
kitchen floor, pouncing on it like a
playful kitten.
Loki poured himself from the
beam with fluid grace, stretched his
sinuous length, groomed a cobweb
from his whiskers, and padded
silently up the basement stairs,

cellar all the time.”
Ocelots, says Mrs. Kessler, are
startling looking animals unless you
happen to know what you're looking
at.
Loki, twenty pounds of tawny
spotted fur, with all the feline grace
of a leopard, had disappeared early

Comments
Westmoreland failing to hit on a i
number of one and one foul shots
lost a big opportunity to hold a half-
time advantage.
Trewern, Evans and Countlets
continued their fine work in hauling
down nearly all the rebounds for the s
Mounts.
Koch by far had to be the out-
standing player on the floor as he
rebounded strongly along with his
point making.
Westmoreland was
hampered when Gauntlett was far
from playing condition following a
week with the virus.
Boyle and Bartko turned in fine
performances for the Wildcats along
with a reserve, Flaim.
Trewern and Evans rounded out a
fine season, each scoring 17 markens
in a losing cause.
Congratulations
Ronnie Trewern was the only mem-
ber from the Westmoreland team
chosen on the North league All-Star
team and also received the Most
Valuable Player award.
Also congratulations to Clint
