Casino wins test
PA Ttaaru. i A brilliant display of outside is shooting by American Cliff Mar- i tin, sparked Launceston Casino s to a 7.3-55 win in the second basketball test series against < New Zealand last evening. i The 196 cm black American 1 scored 30 points and his speed, I control and accuracy left the i New Zealand players powerless i to stop him. ! The close match expected after 1 the Australians were pipped in the 'first test never eventuated i
and once Martin had aet his isights during the first quarter, the home team never challenged seriously. Only Stan Hill threatened with consistent shooting and he notched 28 points but this single handed effort was not sufficient to boost his team. Bert Knops was New Zealand's next highest scorer with seven points and this; summed up the hold the visitors had in defence. * The deciding match will b< played in Dunedin this week.
