Port Washington's second-best scoring punch of the season wasn't quite good enough last night as Strasburg (2-6) (5-11) unleashed its best. The Bengals, having one of the school's few losing seasons, also unveiled a promising Freshman for the first time and put together a scoring attack which featured six men in double figures - much to the misfortune of a game and hustling Port (0-7) (3-13) combine. Jim Clymer, a 5-11 Frosh making his second appearance in a varsity uniform, hit 12 points for the Bengals of Coach Ernest Raber, while Frank Wallick led the overall team with 20. Nick Haswell tallied 13, Bill Seese scored 11, Walt Krantz and Tom Jones each tallied 10. Playing one of his best all around games of the season, 5-5 Bill Phillips led the Port machine with 27 markers, while John Landon and Larry Hagan also were in two numbers with 11 and 16 points, respectively. Port stayed right with the bigger Bengals for three quarters before falling under the pressure. The Bengals took a 10-0 lead at the start, but were pushed hard after that as the Purple Riders trailed 20-18 at the first halt. Still holding on, Port was behind only 34-31 at intermission and then trailed 56-46 going into the final. Port faired better in the Reserve game as the Port Washington Reserves (4-12) knocked off the Strasburg Reserves 51-38.
