Show LEGIONNAIRES LOSE FIRST GAME ON HOME COURT TO EPKRA1M QUINTET Milford's American Lesion basketball squad suffered their first defeat on the home floor Thursday night when the Ephraim Legionnaires connected for their free throws and downed the local aggregation, 45-39. It was a good, clean contest, featuring steady headys-up basketball interspersed with crowd-thrilling rallies by both teams. Milford was playing their firs game without two of their early-season early-season mainstays, AJlen and Tine Bingham. AJlen recently moved to Texas, and Tine ruptured a leg muscle and will be out of competition competi-tion for the remainder of the year.
