WARRIORS KNOCKED OUT OF FIRST PLACE By 01ney Roy

Art Gallon's Warriors lost their stride as the Eoosevelt and Farrington casaba knocked them out Of the first plaee bracket in Honolulu Inter-Scholastic baskethall play. Rt>osevclt battered the Cadets 26-20 and Farrington 43 r 21 at the Civic auditorium recently.

The Cadets have won three out of five games so far. They walloped Kaimuki 33-24, Punahou 32-16 and Mid-Pacific 37-27, but met their dire fate against the Roughriders of Roosevelt andTthe Farrington Governors.

In the Roosevelt tussle the Warriors were held to a 3 points during the first half and four in the. third canto, but eame.near polishing the Riders off in the last stanza by >an overwhelming rally by Barry Ontai and Robert Moore of 13 points to Roosevelt's one, ending that fray with the tcore standing 26-20.

The Governōrs trounced the Warriors and also kept the Cadets out of the upper bracket in the next .clash. This tilt meant that if the Warriors won Farrington would not be ablc to enter the round robin series and since it turned out the other way it kept the Cadets from retaining the lead in the* league.

The opening perivd found tho Warriors monopolizing * the ball, but were left trailing thereafter as Farrington extended it margin far beyond the weakened Kapalam*a lad's reach ending the one sided battle 43-21. Starring for both N frays were Barry Ontai and Robert Moore for the Blue and White's.
