Coach Everhart should have had handy a little resin box to remove the slip from the gym shoes. Jim. Crawford, on a scramble for the ball early in the first period, slipped and fell to the floor while the Cougars made away with the ball.

This incident struck the the high school section of Charleroi fans funny and they laughed and jeered. Whaffore? The Purple's plight was in direct evidence at the four minute mark of the second period when no less than five successive close-in shots failed to fall through the net. Jimmy Chacko, who gives the old collegiate endeavor, wound up on the floor at least three times, but usually rose, and promptly and calmly sank pairs of fouls. Al Thiry, who had been sporting a knee brace, hurt that knee in the third period and was in apparent great pain, but returned to the game only minutes later. Even Charleroi's band was good.
