N I R Five Rout St Marys in One Sided YMCA Basketball Clash
The N I R five hammered St Marys Collegiates of Central Fairs 70 to 11 at the Y M C A gym on a Wednesday night. Illness forced three visitors to be replaced by Pawtucket players and yet the heavy locals pressed the pace. A prior football contest saw Flanagan s Flyers beat Simmon s Oil Cans 16 to 10, pleasing fans and offsetting the main game. Next week the Pawtucket Crescents, two college men and former high school stars, meet the N I R Five here with a preliminary N I R Girls versus American Print Works Girls of Fall River.
