Powell worked from a set of fense, but found the Locomotives' tight man-for-man defense a lit tle hard to penetrate as Bob Dan tic and George Bangert continually ■ up break for many of the Laurel counters. It was Laurel's ball game all the way, with the score by quar ters as follows: Laurel Powell Dantic was high point man for In the preliminary, Powell B was 22, while Laurel B won with 30.
