THe Y.M.C, A. Buccaneers and Cubs lest night split a double-header with basketball teams representing E Com-'W|pany and Service Company of the USMC. A last half drive by the Bucs established their superiority over E Company by a score of 38 to 27 while in the second contest the Service Company team had little difficulty in subdueing the Cubs, 28 to 17.
The Pirates had considerable ditficulty in solving E Company's five: man zone defense in the opening stages of the game and during the first half both teams battled on even terms. The zone defence was particulary effective due to the limited size of the gym floor. In this half Biesel was effective with long shots just outside of the defence and netted eight points. Ryan did well with a one-handed toss near the basket, making six points in this manner and also scoring twice on foul shots. The half ended 22 to 21 in favour of the YMCA.
