DOVER - Last night Senior forward Loris Hostetler of the Dundee Bulldogs (3-1) (18-3) (39-44) continued his brilliant tournament performance by scoring 24 points. His teammates, Senior guard Merlyn Immel, who was treated at Union Hospital for stomach cramps following Wednesday night's game, began to click in the last 3 quarters and chalked up 21 points of his own, while Sophomore center Rich Slemmer turned in a bang up game under the boards and topped his performance with 12 tallies. He was substituting for Sophomore Weldon Flynn who was on crutches today with a sprained ankle received in Wednesday night's battle.
The losing Midvale Blue Devils (2-2) (20-4) (54-27) whose ace Junior center Dick Tolloti, gave his all to keep the Blue Devils in the race, but his 16 points didn't have enough company to turn back the surging Bulldogs. The only other Diablo to hit double figures was Junior forward Ron Harmon, an outstanding clutch-player for 2nd-Year Head Coach Chuck Stocker in the tournament, who meshed 10 markers. It was Tolloti and Harmon who opened up fast for Midvale and racked up 8 points, while the Dogs' Hostetler twins collected 7. Then Slemmer potted a rebound, chunky Senior guard Curt Beamer "swiped" the ball and dunked a rapid 2-pointer and Dundee was off to the races. And they kept right on rolling.
At one point in the 4th canto the Bulldogs had a 21-point advantage, 60-39, after going into the stretch drive with a 55-35 bulge. The Blue Devils got plenty of chances to stir things up, but the old Diablos' fire was gone.
