Ihe visitors were leading, 14 to lb when the rest period came, but the four-point margin lasted only a short time after Stonebraker suddenly went on a scoring spree anil started to drop them in from all angles. The tall forward’s four baskets, sunk in rapid succession, put the Caseys out in front and they were never headed the rest of the way. Tillie Voss also came through with . some timely baskets in the second half that, helped kutop the game on ice for the Knights. - — o— - 1 — " Bluffton K. Os P.
