Locals Pile Up In First Half, Then Loaf In Second Stanza

Playing in the semi dusk of the badly-lighted and low-raftered gymnasium of the Orlando high last night, Leesburg Yellowjackets piled up a 13 to 3 lead during the first half and loafed during the last to win, 17 to 8, before the small crowd. One end of the court was said to be without lights.
The Yellowjackets met stubborn resistance from the Orlando team that had greatly increased its strength, several ineligible men getting back into good graces after the recent examinations. The game was marked by roughness throughout, the poor light making smooth teamwork almost out of the question. Jimmy Rountree Leesburg guard, was unable to make the trip to Orlando, detained here though business associations. Rountree has been developing rapidly into a top notch player and fitted in well when Adams was out of the lineup due to illness.
