COMMIES BEAT ELMHURSTIN; OVERTIME WIN Locals Como brom Bei hind Twice In Scoring 26-2-) \ ictori j A band of madly raving basket-, ball fans packed their way into a I tiny "cigar box" of a gymnasium in the Elmhurst high school bri-, ! day night to see 32 minutes of | wild and wooly basketball, and 'then in true keeping with the j 1 precious moments see the Decatur ' Commodores com from behind in , J the closing seconds of a three-inin-| ute overtime to nose out a 26-25 win over the Trojan-hosts. 26-25 The first few minutes of the tilt gave every evidence of what was |to follow, as both teams played I with reckless abandon to make tip for the inability to demonstrate any type of successful formation, because of the miniature floor. As if to keep the fans in a con , tinuous frenzy, neither leant was | able at any time to establish more than a three-point lead. In the closing seconds of the regular period, it was Bob Bolinger who I snatched the Commodore's victory i chances from the fire, scoring front out on the floor, and then making good on a free throw, when a Trojan guard. Engle, crushed him into the bleachers. Bob's three [Joints tied the score at 24-all a mere 20 seconds before the gun cracked. Not to be outdone it was Gillig, who scored from underneath in the final 24 seconds to put the locals ! out in front, 26-25, after Fusseli man's charity toss had been the ' only scoring in the extra threeI minute period. | The Commies led 6-5 at the end of the first period, trailed 12-14 at • the half and still were being led j 20-18 at the end of the third stanza. I Then Bolinger hit from tinder to make it 21-22. after Link scored from under to make it 21-22. shrdl from the side for the Trojans. Trojans. Fusselman made it 24-21 l for the Trojans when Bollinger made the memorable goal and free throw. The fact that he missed the second free throw was lost in the realization of Commie fans than the score was tied. i With but 24 seconds of (he exf tra session left after Fusselman's free throw put the Trojans in the 1 lead. Gillig suddenly arose from 1 nowhere under his own basket and won the game by the single point. I Bolinger and Gillig appropriate--1 ly shared honors in leading the local scoring, getting nine points each. Fuselman was best for Elmhurst with eight markers. To complete a full night of close, j hard-fought basketball, the Com(mie Seconds lost a heartbreaker to the Elmhurst reserves, 14-15 in the final seconds of play.
