page 1)
Woodruff was hurt in the fi rs t ofthe second half, and

be given c1edit forsome fine playing_ They made a bas-ket and two
foul shots. In the lastquarter, with the loss of two of ourmen, our
team didn't make a s-core.Boyne City however, wHh remarkablygood
playing , sank th ree baskets in :..short interval . of time.The

as mening in 'jured or put out of the game,and also other
