Dunster's "Mutt and Jeff" combination proved invincible, six-foot-four-inch John Brunsman caging 15 points while diminutive George Okamura stole the ball time and time again in the Gold Coasters' back court and contributed four baskets on fast breaks. Wheelright aided a losing cause with his 17-point effort...
