J. C. took over the scoring lead early in the game and seemed to be in very little trouble until Ford Baker found his range and sank a few, getting North nearer and nearer to its foe. As luck would have it, though, .I.C. was able to put one through the loop to stay just a few points ahead of the home team. Ford Baker took to scoring honors of the night with 13 while Joe arbarino and Sonny Phillips each had 8. NORTH 64-ELMIRA SOUTHSIDE 51 A surprising Elmira Southside team gave North a scare but through the outstanding play of Joe Garbarino, who came through with 23 points, the Reutlingermen were able to come home with another victory. The Indians led at halftime by a 37-20 count but the Hornets closed the gap and threatened the Red and Blue. Then the boys from Binghamton put on the steam and came through with a 64-51 win. NORTH 84-CORTLAND 69 A 29 point fourth period gave North High a decisive 84-69 win over Cortland. The halftime score was 35-31 in favor of the Redmen but they kept pouring it on as every squad member scored. Four Indians hit double figures, with Moe Good- speed and Joe Garbarino taking high scoring honors with 16 and 14 respectively. Silvino was hot for the Cortlandmen as he tossed 25 points through the hoop. 24

NORTH 75 UNION ENDICOTT 56 Led by the tall men, Ford Baker and Moe Goodspeed, the Red and Blue pulled an impressive win over the Orange Tornad5 from U.E. by a 75-56 mark. The Braves got off to a fast start, piling up a 22-9 advantage at the five minute mark. At half-time they held a 45-31 edge. During the second half Coach Reutlinger had his second string playing a good deal of the time and they did not allow the Tigers to score to any great ex- tent. Baker and Coodspeed shared scoring honors for the night slamming home 17 apiece, with Vince Coyle dropping in 15 and playing a nifty floor game. NORTH 54 WHITESBORO 53 John Young was the hero of North High when he sank his two foul shots in the final twelve seconds of this non-conference game. These final 2 points gave the Red and Blue-clad Warriors a too close for comfort 54-53 one oint victory over a snappy Whitesboro squad. '1Pwice the Indians were able to iight their way out of deep scoring holes to stay in the ballgame and stay right on the heels of the fast breaking Whitesboro five. With 70 seconds left in the game, the Warriors were able to go ahead of Whitesboro by a 52-49 score, but two quick buckets by the visitors left the Indians at a one point disadvantage. Then came John Young's two fateful foul shots which clinched the game for North High. NORTH 44 ITHACA 50 North dropped into a second place tie with E.F.A. as the result of a 50-44 defeat at the hands of the Little Redmen of Ithaca. The Ithacanis predominance on their home court held true as Ford Baker was the only Indian to hit for double figures when he scored 15 points.-The Red and Blue's greatest shortcoming was at the foul line where they missed 27. NORTH 53 CENTRAL 45 An overflow crowd of about 1,200 saw the Red and Blue-clad Warriors turn a heretofore ferocious group of Bulldogs into a whining group of puppies. With Joe Garbarino acting as the driving force the Redmen were able to come up with baskets when they were most needed and to keep the Centralites from sinking them too often. The Bulldogs took over an early lead but could not hold it and at halftime the score stood 23-18 in favor of North. 7-3 ,,:, Z. gk ' , .., . .

NORTH 56- ELMIRA FREE ACADEMY 57 The Light Blue of E.F.A. traveled to North,s home court to hand the Warriors a thrilling 57-56 defeat. The Braves seemed to be almost sure winners when with less than 10 seconds to go they held a one point advantage over the visitors, but once again fate took over. The clock on the scoreboard showed only five seconds left and North was still nursing its one point lead when E.F.A. got pos- session of the ball and promptly deposited it in the loop, giving the Light Blue two more points and the game.

The Blue and Scarlet quintet was threatened 3 times by Vestal, but the Indians were successful in victory. With good teamwork and Gilchrist's 14 points the Reutlingermen were able to take another win back to the North High tepee. . NORTH 52-UTICA PROCTOR 46 North was able to take over an early lead against its Utica opponent, but the reserves couldn't hold it, and during their second and third quarter stints the lead was greatly di- minished. Trailing by two points after three periods, Proctor tied the score three times in the last quarter but big Moe Goodspeed, high for the game with 18 points, broke it open with a hook shot and two lay-ups on passes from Vinnie Coyle to give North a 52-46 victory over the Utica team. Moe Goodspeed and John Young gave the Indians good backboard control while the first platoon was in and Joe Garbarino chipped in with 15 points which also helped the Northmerfs cause. NORTH 73-UNION ENDICOTT 53 By virtue of their 73-53 defeat of Union Endi- cott, the Blue and Red obtained permanent pos- session of the Triple Cities Basketball Trophy. The Bedmen were able to get off to an early lead when Fred Murphy sank two shots in the first 4 seconds of play. The trio of Coyle, Garbarino, and Murphy held the spotlight for most of the evening by their floor play and scoring. Top scorer for the fray was Fred' Murphy with 18, closely followed by ,loe Garbarino and Vinnie Coyle hitting for 15 and 14 points respectively.
