In Tuesday Basketball
By HERB WILLIAMS
The 32nd Tundrabirds ran their
victory string to 15 straight wins

41-28 and/he Lomen Commercial
team notched their seventh win
of the season against six losses as
they edged the Nanooks 43-38 in
the second game of Tuesday’s
doubleheader.
The 32nd had an easy time as
they romped to a 13-2 lead in the
first quarter. The second period
was played on an even basis and
wound up in the ’Birds’ favor,
21-10. Their margin was increased
to' 30-16 in the third quarter and
