Longshot: The Story of the Buchan Bakers   NIBL All-Star Game March 15, 1959 Denver, Colorado   After building a 16-8 first quarter lead, the West held back the East to win the National Industrial Basketball League All-Star game, 81-78.  Carl Boldt of the Buchan Bakers of Seattle, Wash., was voted the game’s Most Valuable Player for his excellent defense on Dick Boushka of the Wichita Vickers Oilers.  Boldt held Boushka, the NIBL’s leading scorer, to zero points from the field – Boushka’s six points all came from free throws.  The previous year Boushka had been named the All-Star MVP after scoring 32 points but in this game, he never got clear of the tight guarding by Boldt.   West (81)   Player Team FG FT TP Burdette Haldorson Phillips Oilers 2 2  6 Phil Murrell Phillips Oilers 6 1 13 Gary Thompson Phillips Oilers 1 2  4 Art Bunte D-C Truckers 4 6 14 Harv Schmidt D-C Truckers 3 0  6 George Bon Salle D-C Truckers 3 1  7 Joe Belmont D-C Truckers 1 0  2 Art Day Buchan Bakers 6 0 12 Carl Boldt Buchan Bakers 1 0  2 Carroll Williams Buchan Bakers 2 2  6 Gene Brown Buchan Bakers 0 2  2 Arnold Short Phillips Oilers 3 1  7           Totals   32 17 81   East (78)   Player Team FG FT TP Don Boldebuck Vickers Oilers 3 1  7 Dan Swartz Vickers Oilers 1 4  6 Dick Boushka Vickers Oilers 0 6  6 Nick Revon Vickers Oilers 2 1  5 Don Ohl Peoria Cats 6 2 14 B.H.
