THE SI SIKESTON SECTION PAGES 9-12 TWO Volume 42. Bulldogs Lose To Benton 20-24 Now Out of Running in Scott-Mississippi Tourney. By Joe Arbaugh The Sikeston Bulldogs were de-: feated by Benton last night in the Scott-Mississipp1 County Tournament at Benton by a score of 24. to 20. The Dogs were the defend-.

ing champions. The game looked like the boys; were going through their paces, in slow motion. They would pass the ball, then hold it for about a minute trying to make up their mind what to do with it. A shining example of fast playing is the fact that the Bulldogs averaged 3 points a quarter for the first half. while taking advantage of this made 18 tallies.

After the intermission the Growlers made the final running the score up to 20-24. Sikeston FG FT PF TP Ables, f. 2 1 2 51 Beal, g. 2 5 Crase, f. Skelton.
