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 respectively. final result of this trial game was a 100-74 victory for the fresh- men of Xavier. However, the whole story is not in the final score but rather in the excitement that this type of scoring brought to the game.

Person- decision. ally, I had high hopes for the plan but after watching the game I would have to say that it has more drawbacks than assets. For what it's worth, here are my picks for the final standings in the National League. First Plttsburg, second Los Angeles, third san Francisco, fourth Milwaukee, fifth Cincinnati, sixth St. Louis, seventh Philadelphia, eighth Chicago.
