Eagles Lose No. 16
To Woodward, 73-58
by Sandy Youkills
In Friday night's return match with the Woodward Bull-
dogs, Walnut Hills chalked up its sixteenth straight defeat
with the score of 73-58.
The Eagles, after a well-played first half in which they
led most of the way, slackened off in their scoring during
the second half and allowed the Bulldogs to pull away.
The Eagles did show im-
provement in field goal per-
centage as they hit 23 of 65
shots for a 35 percent clip.
However it was the foul line
which weakened the Eagles,
as they hit only 12 of 30 at-
tempts, in comparison to the
Bulldogs' torrid 17 of 23.
The game also saw the re-
turn of the Eagles' big pivot-

final result of this trial game was a 100-74 victory for the fresh-
