Scores 256 Points to
154 for Opposition;
Oceanside Due Next
After winning five games in a
row. the Freeport High School bas-ketball
team has a week's rest
before taking: on Oceanside in the
local gym next Tuesday night, and
then activities will be discontinued
until Tuesday, Jan. 8, when the
Red Devils wilt travel to Mineola.
Within .' a week the locals de-feated
Baldwin, 52 to 18, in Bald-win,
Friday night; Manhasset, 57
to 36, Saturday night on the no_rth
'shore court, and -then Lawrence
here Tuesday afternoon, 48 to 33.
In .the five games played tp date
the Red Devils have chalked up
256 points to 154 for the opposition,
or a 102 point margin.
The Lawrence encounter was an
exciting one, Freeport taking the
lead, 15 to 5, in the flrst quarter,
and then increasing It, 14 to 8, in
the second, to make the score at
the half* 29 to 11. Lawrence ex-celled
in the second half, due
largely to foul shots, but the locals
were too far ahead to even have
to worry.
The visitors chalked up 14 points
to 12 for the locals in the third
quarter and then ran away, 18 to
7, in the final, when several second
stringers were given a chance, but
the regulars 'were rushed back to-ward
the close as the visitors were
running wild. The Lawrence Five
scored 15 of its 33 points on free
throws, making only 9 field goals,
so tight was the home team's de-rense.
It was the flrst defeat for
the Branch quintet, which previ-ously
had won three straight. Bill
Dodd and Tom Doane, eachr ac-counted
for 14 points, and Lou De-
Solvo for 10.
