Stellar playing of Jones and Clyde on the defensive, with Black, who counted 11 points, and Bissell, with 8, .aided the winners win-ners in the offensive count. Boyer played well also, hitting for 5 points. Ninth won handily over Fourth. 50-21, and First dumped Mapleton with a 40-23 score. Bjarnson hit for 16 points for the First. The entire Ninth club scored well. Last Wednesday night's games topped the entire year's play for three outstanding tilts. Every game was a thriller and well played. First outlasted Fifth by one basket as they won 39-37 in a game that saw both teams matching shot for shot and with few misses. Not more than two points difference throughout the greater part of the game, kept fans on edge. First made a brilliant bril-liant rally in the final minutes of the game and came out with the top score. The shooting of the Haws brothers and Bjarnson's outstanding out-standing play under the hoop, accounted ac-counted for the win. Black looked F.
