Port Scores 33 In 3rd Period 103-73 (1-21-56)

In hitting the century mark for the third time in loop action, Port Washington (4-3) (9-5) broke loose with a 33-point third quarter to put the skids under the Baltic Eagles (2-6) (5-10). Coach Jack Bellville's Eagles trailed by only 10 points, 29-19 and 48-38, at the first two stops, but the outburst in the third frame put the Riders in front 81-53 going into the closing chukker. At the outset of the tilt, Baltic rushed to a 6-0 lead, but trailed the rest of the way after the host club knotted the court and then forged to the fore. The Purple Riders of Coach Bray Toot were sparked by Ed Bates and Denver Glazer who meshed 26 and 24 points, respectively. George Regula and Glen Reidenbach caged 21 and 20 points, respectively, for the Eagles. In the Reserve game, Port Washington (11-2) topped Baltic 57-42. The Graders game was won by Baltic over Port Washington 46-23.
