Strasburg's John Studer plays like a football end as he tries to grab a pass from a teammate. Defending is Hiland's Art Miller.
BERLIN - Two fine cage teams fought furiously last night, with Hiland (7-2) coming out on top of a decision against Strasburg (5-2). The 2 titans were locked in a tremendous struggle all the way, with the score being tied 13-13 at the 1st stop and 25-25 at the half before the Charles Huggins-coached Tigers slipped in front 43-40 going into the final frame. The Hawks then zeroed in on the nets, while the Tigers couldn't find the range and soon the hosts had a 7-point lead. The Tigers battled gamely to try and get back in contention and pulled to within 3 points before standout John Studer fouled out with 16 seconds remaining. Strasburg was in foul trouble early and it undoubtedly hapered its style of play. Studer, Ed Yackey and Dick Fox all were saddled with 3 personals in the 1st half. The Tigers also played without the service of the ailing Mike Rieger. Hiland, coached by Abe Mast, hit on 52 percent of its action shots and made 17 of 23 fouls. Strasburg hit on 47 percent of its action tries and was 8 of 13 from the foul lines. Strasburg will visit Northwest on January 7th and Hiland will travel to Tuslaw that same night. The Hiland Reserves fought back the Strasburg Reserves, 32-28.
