The Fort Scott High School Tigers hung up their third conference victory at Independence last night when they doubled the score on the Independence Bulldogs, the final score being 42-21. The game was sort of a listless contest, the narrow court and poor refereeing of a new official named Stevens handicapping both teams In the first half. Stevens called fouls at random but in the last half he stood back and allowed the teams just to rough it. Brinkman divided high scoring honors with Lewelling, each caging five baskets. Brinkman had one of the best nights of his basketball career.
