Feb. 9--DOVER -- With 75 percent of the regular season complete in the Over-the-Hill (Men's 50-plus) Basketball League play, some separation is now occurring in the standings. Each week has featured a steady diet of close contests in what has proved to be a well-balanced league.

He was followed by Dan Duvall and John Ganem with 16 and 13 points. The high scorer in a losing effort was Dave Blier with 24 points.

In the second game, Seacoast Veterans (6-3) broke a second-place tie with Foreign Motors (5-4) with a 51-44 win in a tightly played defensive contest. Dave Munro led scoring for the winning team with 15 points, closely followed by Kevin Deeley with 14 points, while Peter Sweet and Dave Dugal shared scoring honors with 12 apiece for the losing team.
