Kozella won his personal duel with Corry’s Mickey McMahon... 27 to 23. The tall and talented rivals were tied for second-place in league scoring going into the Contest.

The senior cen ter speared 20 caroms to lead both teams. _ Corry's shooting percentage was 32 of 20 connections in 63 attempts. A chilly fourth period (2 for 16 from the field) nearly proved fatal for the Beavers. In the other periods they shot 7- for-17, 5-for-14 and @-for-16. Dick Scholton and Ben John son, highly valuable Juniors, both tallied 12 points in support of McMahon. Scholton, who fouled out of action with two minutes left to play,had 9 glittering 4- for-4 at the foul line. He still managed to score six valuable points in the crucial fourth per iod despite his foul trouble.
