31 - Midvale Survives 4th Period Scare Against Dundee 44-37 (2-28-31)








DOVER - Showing great superiority in every period excepting the final quarter, the flashy Midvale Blue Devils' (3-0) (7-3) won over the Dundee Bulldogs' scrappers (1-1) (5-9), by 7 points in the 2nd semi-final tilt of the county tournament Saturday at Legion Hall.

The great offensive combination of forward-center Baldwin and forward Freshman P. Stevenson, plus Midvale's smooth teamwork and clever passing was too much for the Bulldogs.  Long shots and some hard work by forward Baker and guard Sliffe enabled the losers to make the score closer in the final minutes when the Blue Devils practically had the tilt on the well known ice.  Dundee didn't score in the 1st quarter until the last 43 seconds, while Midvale garnered 11 markers.  Twenty to 12 was the margin held by the Midvale at the halftime.  It was 37-18 at the end of the 3rd quarter.  Sliffe, forward Bradley and Baker swung into action in the 4th quarter and dropped in goals from every angle to make the Blue Devils' victory less decisive.  Baldwin made 16 points for Midvale.  Sliffe and Baker scored 21 of Dundee's 37 markers.
