THE MERCER CLUSTER
Bears Top Hatters 70-65
Coac h Bobby Wilder's Bears rolled to their second straight
regular season win Saturday night, this time over the Stetson
Hatters, 70-f>5. This effort'on the part of the Bears was no
fireball offense, hut rather, a tired up defensive effort that put
the skid cm the opposition to a very low scoring battle.
