DOVER - The Bolivar Cardinals (2-1) (36-29) (13-8) remained in the running for the Consolation Division Title by defeating the Mineral City Tigers (0-2) (9-34) (6-14) 49-39 after the Tigers, led by Dan Lechner, a Freshman forward, gave a fight, but couldn't quite hit a fast enough pace.
Chuck Renner, Cardinal ace center, collected himself 26 points (10 field goals and 6 free throws) leading the Red Birds in 3 quarters of 12-5 at the 1st period, 22-14 at intermission and 41-29 at the end of the 3rd stanza. After the Cardinals having locked up this game, Mineral City outscored Bolivar 10 to 9 in a losing cause.
Forward Ray Murry of the Cardinals followed up Renner, who picked up game honors, with 13 points, while Lechner was the lone Tiger in double figures.
