Show I TIGERS DEFEAT LEGION IN YEAR'S FINALE Two excellent ball games, one a comedy skit and the other a genuine exhibition of top-quality basketball, wound up the casaba season tor Milford fans last Thursday evening. In the prelim, pre-lim, Professor Long's ''Never-Wases," ''Never-Wases," with the aid of rifles, bayonets and football tactics, hung a defeat on a stubborn, over-stuffed and inflated "Has-Been" "Has-Been" aggregation piloted by Butch Gillespie. Long's boys entered the gym clad in football helmets and -shoulder pads, and they went right to work with their football game. If a Never-Was clambered on the shoulders of a Has-Been, it was called a iumn ball, un'es.-the un'es.-the Long follower happened t I dig in his spurs, then the poor Gillespie-ites were permitted to .ake the ball out of bounds. The contest was fairly""' close until County Commissioner My-?rs My-?rs finally sank his lone foul pitch, which gave the professors :he added spark they needed. In the Tiger-Legion game, the Legionnaires went out for a 12-3 'ead in the first quarter, and the Tiger rooters were a solemn unch as they realized that not one basket had been sunk bv their favorites during the entire quarter. But as the half wore on, the Tigers started solving I h'e Legion style and the Legionnaires Le-gionnaires began tiring. At half-time the tally was Legion 16. Tigers 15. The schoolboys had a 27-23 lead at the end of the third period per-iod and wound up with a 43-35 victory. The result might have been different had the Legioa boys had their full strength, and been able to substitute occasionally. The box scores: Has-Beens G T F P L.
