Freshman Hoopsters Slaughter Huntington In 82 to 31 Runaway

Snapping back from their defeat by Brown last week, the Freshman quintet had little trouble registering an 82 to 31 defeat on a short aggregation from Huntington at the Indoor Athletic Building yesterday afternoon.

Taking an early lead which they never relinquished, the Yardlings scored almost at will throughout the contest. Only inaccurate shooting prevented the score from running to three figures in the contest in which every member of the squad saw action.

Captain Johnny Rockwell led the attack in the first half scoring spree, as he hit the hoop for eleven points. Frank Lionette and Chuck Bryntesen helped out with seven and six tallies apiece, before Coach Berg called off the dogs and put in his second team. The spirited but outclassed Huntington squad did somewhat better against the subs, but their own inaccuracy from the floor cut down the score as much as the opposition play.

In the second half the team surged back to double their half-time score of 41 points. Lionette, high-scorer for the contest, led the drive with 12 tallies. Brynteson and Bill Mobraaten pacing him with totals of eight and nine points respectively. Johnny Goldsmith's passing stood out above the generally weak team play.
