HuE LEOPARDS ARE tied for
A first place, along with three
other clubs, in the district cage
race. yet the locals have had
more points scored against them
than they had made, which is
rather unusual.
Ip the five conference games
pteyed during the first half of
the race, the Leopards scored a
total of 110 points, allowing their
foes a total of 186 This can be
explained by examining the rec-
ord, for games won by the local
quintet have been bylexeedingly
narrow margins. while the loss to
Sherman was bv several points.
