Byrrell Lamb, Norval Hanson Han-son and John Benson, other members of the starting lineup, were just too much for the fighting fight-ing Tabby team, despite the fact that the game was played at Tabiona. Dale Allred and Basil Defa led the Tabby crew with 12 and 9 points, and proved themselves among the top performers per-formers in the district. Coach Darwin Woodbury used ten boys as his Eagles piled up a 67-39 win over the Longhorns from Altamont.
