DID YOU KNOW THAT . . . the rat is man’s most (deadly. enemy EVANS DRUG STORE Shavertown, 675-3366 ll There are an estimated 180 million rats in the United ‘States today, and that they are renewing il themselves at an alarming rate of 315 million a day. Female rats can com- mence bearing litters at 2 - months, every month of the year, with as many as 22 in a litter. Rats are sly and cunning, quick to avoid ordinary poisons and traps that are set out for them. Rats were the only living crea- tures in gassed trenches of World War |. No wonder rats are hard to control. But don’t despair. They can be licked! RAT-NIP, an exclusive development of NIP-CO, contains a naturally occurring roden- ticide, toxic to ALL rats due to their inability to vomit. Although rats ac- cept this ingredient in the incomparable RAT-NIP formula, such is not the case with pets and other domestic animals. Should these animals be forced- fed, they will promptly vomit. RAT-NIP, unlike dangerous poisons is rec- ommended for use around the farm and home. 675-5121 P.O.

The game, which was marred by fouls, was played on the dis- tant court of the victors. Using a man to man defense. Binghamton jumped out to an early lead and led 21-13 at the end of the first quarter. On the strength of blazing fast breaks, the Knights rallied to go into the locker room with a 31-30 advantage. Rick Newhart had nine of his 12 points in the second quarter surge. Binghamton changed their strategy in the third quarter, using a zone defense and forc- ing the Knights to shoot from the outside. The change of de- fense proved very effective— Lake-Lehman failed to hit their shots. The Knights lost the lead which they never regained. The Indians pulled away in the final quarter by outscoring the Knights 18-9. The buzzer sounded with the final score of 60-48 in favor of the Indians. Sponseller and Newhart each had 12 points to lead the Knights. Lozo and Myers pro- vided the board work as they each pulled down 13 rebounds. McGowan was the high scorer of the game as he netted 18 points for the Indians. The officiating in New York State seemed much stricter than it is in Pennsylvania, causing problems for the Knights in the early going. Lake- Lehman had only four full days of practice and as a result went into the game pre- pared physically but not stra- tegically. The Black Knights will go into action again Tuesday evening, Dec. 16, at Benton.
