Bergen Club Blom 8-Poinl Lead In Final Period Of 58-56 Tilt By PJIIL BURKE Elizabeth, Mar. 21 "They were driving and we weren't." With these disheartened words Wilbur Ruckel summed up his North Arlington High School basketball team's 58-56 overtime defeat at the hands of Ocean City Saturday afternoon for the Group I title in the thirty-seventh annual N.

J. S. I. A. A.

tournament. The Vikings, winners of the Bergen County Jamboree championship, played one of their poorest games in the most important single tilt of the season. With victory in their grasp several times, Ruckel's lads became very sloppy. It was the general consensus that the North Arlington crew lost its poise and with it the State Championship. Failure to hold onto the ball both in the regulation time and again in the overtime period proved very costly.

The fresh Pistons licked the weary Lakers Sunday on the neutral Elkhart, Coliseum court, 96-79. Another difference was that Minneapolis had George Mikan last year and Fort Wayne added Notre Dame star Dick Rosenthal to its lineup this season. Rosenthal scored nine points in a second-quarter drive in wnicn Fort Wayne outfired the Lakers 30-18. Minneapolis never recov ered, although Clyde Lovellette, Mikan's replacement, was high man for both teams with 18 points.

BRUMMER HAS 18 Brummer collected 18 points in the finale to up his season's total to 701 in 25 games. While tallied 693 in 28 games in the 1946-47 campaign.

In two seasons the lanky ti-5 operator registered 1,108 points. Brummer participated in 46 contests. Last year, in 21 encounters. Bob had 407 tallies. The Ocean City team turned in a strong game.

It never gave up, even when the Vikings held an advantage in the fourth period. The Cape May County combine, making its first appearance in the championship round of the State Tournament, hustled and did a great deal of driving. Despite the height of Brummer, Art Matson, and Johnny Calabrese the rebounding department, nth Arlington was repeatedly tfought off the backboards, aan City also played clean bas-tball. North Arlington only took foul shots in the entire game id Ocean City played the first without commiting a single Tsonal foul.

The fact that it was not a particularly well- played contest was overlooked bv the fans especially those from UCean Uty.

The first half saw little scoring and not too much in the way of interesting basketball except for a shot time the second stanza! when North Arlington built up an 8-point advantage. North Arlington went off the court at halftime with a 22-20 lead. The third period saw the caliber of play pick up and with it the scoring. North Arlington outscored the Cape May team, 22-16, in the frame to take a 44-36 lead at the conclusion. With about 2 minutes gone in the final stanza, Brummer hit a jump shot to give the Vikinn a 50-43 lead.

At this point the Ocean City boys started to roll. At the 5-min ute mark Kennedy hit a jump shot to bring his team to within one point at 52-51.
