High scorer for the Crimson was center Bryant Danner who, besides contributing 22 points to the winning cause, monopolized the boards for the Yardlings in collecting 23 rebounds. Captain Bob Harrington was second high scorer with 14 points...
...same time, would be either directed to a factual lapse, or a failure to support a judgment I make about the people here. I know of only one factual lapse--an inadvertent reference to the grand jury's failure to indict in the second (kidnap) trial of Milam and Bryant as an acquittal; and on reviewing the pieces, the second and third which were the ones with judgments.
