DOVER - The Bolivar Cardinals (1-0) found a fighting team in the Dundee Bulldogs (0-1) in the 3rd game of the tournament and Dundee led them a merry chase through 3 periods before Bolivar finally found itself to win by 10 points. Headed by guard Widder the boys of Head Coach Birk spurted from a lead of 14-11 to a sure victory margin of 25-15. At no time before the final period did the Cardinals hold that big an advantage on the Kohrmen.
The 1st quarter ended 7-4 in favor of Bolivar. Forward Frey of Dundee caged the only points of the period for his team. The half score stood at 11-9 with Bolivar still in front. The Bulldogs put up a stiff fight in the 2nd quarter and Haager, Dundee guard, kept Widder, the Bolivar flash, well covered and Widder failed to score. It was just as even in the 3rd period which found the Cardinals in front 14-11 at the end. But, Coach Birk, who had withdrawn Widder from the game in the 3rd quarter, reinserted him in the 4th as Bolivar struck up the victory song. Things changed considerably when Widder returned, with Bolivar spurting immediately with with forward Laughlin doing the scoring. Frey and Haager were the outstanding players for Dundee. Frey's uncanny shooting accounted for 12 of his squad's 15 points, while Haager caged the remainder. Widder led Bolivar with 12 points with Laughlin and Haueter picking up 6 and 4 markers. Kries and Shulty closed out the Cardinal scoring with 2 and 1, respectively.
