Show Jordan Quintet Win From Cub Juniors, 26-21 After getting off to a splendid start by taking three out of five preseason games and their first two games of league play, South's mighty 'B" -squad met a 18-26 defeat de-feat at the hands of the Jordan junior team last Friday. The Cub junior quintet, built around Lyle Koller and Bob Py-per, Py-per, fast and aggressive forwards, definitely outclassed the Jordan five but found themselves on the short end' of the score. Jordan held a comfortable 18-7 lead at halftime and seemed too much for Pat Ryan's hoopsters to overtake. Ryan pulled a man to man defense de-fense on the Jordan quint in the third frame. The Beetdiggers didn't get a single point in the third quarter and the Cubs closed the gap to 22-18. The entire contest, con-test, particularly the fourth period, peri-od, was a fouling extravaganza which sent four of the Jordan first stringers to the bench via the personal per-sonal foul route. The Cubs closed the gap to three points in the last minutes of the batle but the Jordan quintet rallied with a foul pitch and a field goal that ended the night for the Cub juniors. |
