But the Commodore* seemed to finally learn that when they give guard Don Baker a substantial screen or block, he'll keep them in the ball game, which he did the first quarter, scoring nine points. And what realty did the trick as the game progressed was the support in scoring for the Commodores. They worked the ball around like they knew what to do. and spring a man open on numerous occasions Pleasantly surprising for all the fans and Coach Al Lindahl was the spirited team work.

The ball just bounded from hand to band before sett bag down to a jump ball or a quick bosket — it was certainly entertaining basketball, any way you look at it. Rockcreek took a fine 11-5 record into the game, just the opposite of Decatur Catholic's. In winning their sixth game.
