It will be Al's first and last visit to the Gate City until he returns here late in April with the Nashua Dodger squad. (Frank Stawass) Paced by the veteran Mike Leocha, who besides netting 17 points for the Admirals last night conducted a one man war on the backboards at both ends of the court, Pete Salvail's Gold and Blue ho'opsters pushed the Tadcaster Brewers of Worcester all the way at the Elm st gym last night before bowing by a nine point margin, 55-46.

In the fast Raveling preliminary tilt the Nashua Business College quintet bowed before the Salem Commercial school outfit, 41-36, after making a determined third period bid to overcome the visitors' lead. Only a handful of fans was on hand to watch the Brewers play their toughest game on the local court as the Admirals, continuing their determined bid to acquire some prestige in the Gate City, pushed the visiting powerhouse all the way before the Worcester club fashioned a ten point lead midway in the third period that the Salvailmen roar into a 23-15 lead at the half time intermission, but not for long. The Nashua club, paced by Marcel Prince, who notched 11 points, roared right back in the third stanza with a 15 point total to nearly deadlock the game before the Salem- ite poured" on the heat to pull away and go into the fourth and final period with a 34-30 lead.

In the first game the Nashua AA boys will play the Nashua Business College team in an exhibition game. Starting time at 7.30. however, it was a touch and go affair with first the Admirals, then the Brewers, then the Admirals again out front.

Larry Stone nudged a neat layup through the hoop to put the Nashuans in front at the start and as Leocha handcuffed the Brewers' big center, Milosz, through the first half the Admirals remained very much in the ball game, partially because of Stone's 14 points contribution and partially because of Leoeha's 117 points and yeoman work un- I der the boards. The Brewers led at the first quarter, 13-11, and at the half time intermission, 23-20. The out-of-staters splurged in the third period with a 14-point barrage while holding the Nash- uans' to six points, but the Admirals roared right back in the fourth period with the heaviest scoring of the night, acquiring 20 points to the Brewers' 18. Pete Salvail introduced sev eral newcomers to the Admiral roster when George Passias and Al Lambert made their first appearance in gold and blue uniforms.

Sports Talk FRANK STJLWASZ NO KICKS OVER OFFICIALS There won'tr be, or at least, There's no doubt that the New Hampshire board of hoop offi cials owned a legitimate beef, and maybe the changeover from split-state officials to an all New Hampshire slate would have come several years ago if it hadn't been for thje fact that some of the board members went around sticking knives into each other's backs trying to get. the inside track for these jobs.

That's all water over the dam, however, and the basketball committee stands to be congratulated for its choice of tourney referees. We are familiar with the work of three of the men named to handle the Class A tourney--namely Johnny Burke, Tommy Padden and Jack Jackowski--and 'we've heard of the X.UUK: work of Emile BOZek Rnd Roberts, to name a few, but it Lou Athans. Three of these men, 3 3 li there Shouldn't be, any squawks over the list of officials appointed to handle the NHAA hoop tournaments this year. For the first time in the history of the- quarter century old classic, an all New Hampshire slate of officials has been named to handle the gameg by the new directors of the classic. While the tourney was held at the University of New Hampshire, the outmoded theory using a pair of out-of-state officials for every of in-state referees hired was used.

This practice lent prestige to the New Hampshire classic, since it made available such nationally known officials as "Smokey" Kelliher, Eddie Boyle, Artie Gore and Dick Seek Repeat Win Over Lowell Fire NASHUA Pheloa. rf Gordon, LomoT' Dutton, tg Redd, lg KEITH it, Rogers le, MeCosker c.

FEW OTHER CHANGES With the exception of the tourney scoring, which this year will be handled the press, most of the official jobs that go with the tourney will be retained by the same parties that held these posts during the entire history of the tourney.

Hank Swasey, for instance, who fathered the tourney, will act as chief of officials during the 1948 tourney. Plank was the official scorer for the past few tourneys. Arthur Robinson, who has been firing the final gun for 24 years, will be watching tha clock again this season and no doubt someone else will think of heaving a stuffed duck onto the court when Robbie cuts loose with the game ending shot. And we thought it was a very diplomatic move on the part of the tournament committee when it chose to present Carl Lundholm, the of NH athletic director, with a gold, life-time pass to the tournament and also announced that Lundy would pre doubt as to whether or not this league the oldest in operation, but there can hardly be any doubt as to the caliber of bowling in it, can there? 6th GRADE BASKCETBALL ARLINGTON A TEMPLE STS.

The tourney was taken out of Durham only because the headmasters wished to take full control of it. Outside of that, if they can come to terms with the University, it's a sure fire bet they'd like to return it to Durham sometime in the future. Quite naturally still highly over their 31-30 upset win over Concord high Crimson quintet here last Friday night, Coach Tony Marandos' Purple courtmen settled down to the task of preparing themselves lot what, to all purposes and intent, shapes up as a very tough contest with Skippy Roberge's Keith Academy hoopsters at the Elm st gym tonight at 8.15 o'clock. In the preliminary tilt the Purple Jayvees will entertain the private school's junior varsity starting at 7 o'clock. Tonight's game incidentally, originally scheduled to be played in Lowell, will be played here sirrply because the, Lowell team was unable to make arrangements for the use of a court in its home town.

Winners over Keith in the first game of the two game series by a 44-37 score, the Marandosmen acquired a great deal of respect for the Robergemen in the initial encounter and will carry that into tonight's game with them. Coach Marandos, whose foremost fear is over-confidence, felt yesterday that his charges were pushed too hard in their first clash with Keith to acquire any measure of over confidence for tonight's meeting. Yesterday's long workout was concentrated foremost offensive assignments as Marandos pressed the task of polishing his sometimes awkward point-scoring machine. The remainder of the season will also be noted by the absence of Guard Al Lambert, a two year regular, who turned in his suit late last week and watched the Concord tilt from the bleachers as spectator. Marandos will continue with the same lineup that started the Concord game with Phelan and Gordon at the forwards, Lemay at center and Dutton and Read at the guards.
