Monday night proved to be a Jiv
night as far as the hltfily touted
791st five was ooneemsd Lt. Fray's
top-seeded dribblers were soundly
bsaten, by a count of 42-3?, by Pvt.
Lowis'a bard-flifting crew frem the
GOGnd. The 802nd was accelerated to
victory by the do-or-die apirit in-
etiUed ia the Mn by coach Fvt.Lei^
ia. Pertiaps the fact that Lewie Impt
his men conscious of ths 791st gams
by having had thmi practice almost
constantly was the one that brought
the victory.
For eoae unforoeeen roaeon the
791st tumsd out to be a sluggish,
ladcadasical team, by no means eom-
parable to the team we saw a nmltm
of weeks ago. Though 1st Sgt. Craft
did his ^are of hooking points, ths
powerful ''91st waa eliminated, due
partially to the lose of Pvt. Barioe
services. Also ws should awntlon ths
nsme of Pvt. Reynolds, probably the
hardest woiking man on the team, who
really made the strings sing with
field goals.
In Monday's ni#i-eap the feet
333rd pulled en upset by downing the
795th by a score of 44*32.Thou^ the

•ietent players were Eddy and Webb,
itioas fancy passing kept thidr rivals
on their toea during the firat quaih
er, the most exdting period of the
game.
In a gmie which startad out to be
a dull affair, the Besic Branch and
the 796th finished by putting forth
a real show. Until the third quarter
the 796tb had been soundly drubbing
the Basie men; then the lively plqy
of Devoreaux brought his man to Ufa
and tbs gams became a fracas. The
scrappy Basies ware cdgL'ig to the
796th but found a fly in their so^

O'Qrady. Final acores 35-28, with
scoring honors going to O'Qrady, who
with one-handed flips natted seven
