Delphos was held scoreless from . the field during the entire third quarter and through the first six minutes of the final period. The I third quarter was strictly a d. , f,.naive battle, with the only score | resulting from Hain’s field goal trout near the foul circle. The Commodores built up their • lead to 26-12 before St. John's scot- I ed twice from the field in the clos- 1 ing minutes of play. Bill Lose was the outstanding star on the offense last night, thrCommodore forward connecting five , times front the field and four times ■ from the foul line for a total of ft points. Braden connected three; times from the field. Delphos' scoring was well divid- | ed, Wohlforst showing the way i with two fielders and a charity . point. Diet I and Schmersal each scored four points.
