Dan Stevens, who is hob bling around on crutches with a hip injury suffered in the recent South Bend Holiday Lournev Ihe game started on a rather slow paced scoring note. Ihe play wasn't real sharp as both teams had recent layoffs, but the Sham rocks main trouble was getting what shots they were getting to go in despite taking some close in attempts. Glenn on the other hand was turning the ball over more and not getting all that many shots as two baskets in short order after almost a minute and a half passed, the First by Jeff Donathen and the second a 21 footer by Mike Arnett made it 2-2. w hich it stayed for over three minutes. Pat Franklin scor ed next on a tip in and less than three minutes were left in the ini tial stanza when Mike Elkin hit a lay in to knot the score at 4 At this point the scoring started to pick up.
