Mount Vernon Signals Questioned Timer Marred Conference Loss

Mt. Vernon beat the local high school five last Thursday but the contest was overshadowed by a Mt. Vernon timer named Ellison who kept running the clock during free throws. Grimes alerted Referee Hammer, noting time should stop on fouls. Ellison claimed it was his rule all year. Had timing been correct, Monte might have overcome Mt. Vernon as Mt. Vernon led 20 fouls and extended stoppages often cost several seconds. Glenn Lambert, Monte’s scorer, criticized the officiating as the season’s one-point jit. A curtain-raiser game between Sacred Heart alumnae and high school girls ended 21-14.
