...first time this season, Decsi led the team in scoring, netting a total of 23 points. His fine work under the basket, in addition to his usual talents under the backboards, easily made him the most valuable man on the floor. Teammate Wyndol Gray, definitely suffering an "off night", scored only 13 points, six of them in a minute and a half of the last quarter; Johnny Gantt and Saul Mariaschin rounded out the double figures brigade with 11 apiece...

They kept their lead--ranging from one to five point's margin--until the last two minutes of play, when a tap-in by Lew Decsi plus two foul shots and one field goal by Gray put the Cantabs back into the game; then the former Bowling Green ace put on a one-man freezing act to put the game...

The pro-Catholic Civic Union was demonstrating against what it considered the fraudulent election of the Government's official P.R.M. (Mexican Revolutionary Party) candidate for mayor.
