The lopsided defeat, biggest margin (35 points! Dy wnicn ine Muskies lost any game, leaves I MHS with a lowly 2 15 record, Besides being the wont beal InK the year, the district lilt was one in which Muscatine: Scored its fewest field goals (12); Was charged with its most fouls (27); Produced its second lowest point total of the year (36); and Yielded 70 or more points for the seventh lime in 17 games. One thing the final score does not indicate is how close the "battle" actually was in the first half. Biggest: difference in the first period was five point, 16 11, but a set shot by Jerry Askam and jumper by Beanie Bartelt at the buzzer pulled MHS to within 16 13. The Muskies had six field goals that first period as many as they were to hit in the last three quarters 'combined. They had just three baskets the second quarter, one in the third stanza and two in the last one.

Assumption held at 31 25. half time lead and outscored the Muskies 12 2' at the' outset of the third chapter for a 13 27 advantage which didn't leave any doubt as lo the outcome. Muscatine's' last half production of 11 points was topped by the Knights in any one of their eight minute quarters. One of Ihe biggest underlying factors in the loss at least the margin of it was that all three or "big" 6 3 men (Tom Crumly, Jerry Keith and Joe Dodder) all fouled out. Crumly and Keith were in serious trouble before the half was over.

And, when the Muskies lost their rebounding strength. Assumption had a picnic around the boards.
