110 ll tension, anxiety, spirit dominate if game After anxiously attending classes on the day of days, the bell finally sang its song of free- dom. Seven hundred ioyous students then par- aded quickly to the adioining gym for the BIG pep rally. The din and roar of the multi- tude expressed the butterflies-in-stomach ten- sion that was present. Jumping and swirling cheerleaders snowballed the cheers until the rafters shook and the bleachers seemed to float. Skits that mocked the pending game and musical numbers appropriate for the clas- sic clash provided color for the enthusiastic gathering. At 7:30 o'clock an empty seat was a price- less object to be dreamed of and the per- imeter of the gym was lined thickly with the devoted fans. Ages passed before the two un- defeated arch-rivals captured the floor to warm up. The long awaited buzzer sounded as the two Goliaths of the opposing teams, Tommy Lavelle and Bill Yarborough sided up to each other for the opening tap off. Blurs of green, white and red, moved around the court as the foes flew quickly into their patterns and coun- ter-patterns. The basketball changed hands, courts and baskets as the score climbed.

The angered Greenie five then took out in search of sweet revenge. They pounced the next tour teams they met. But then, as tate has it, the fierce NVinyah Gators, happened along and knocked oft the high flying Bishops valiant on their home court for the second time bythe same margin of two points. With the unpleasant taste of defeat in their mouth the Calhoun St. five invaded the C of C gym for a second shot at knocking off the high flying Birds. In the closing moments at the game, the Rutledge Ave. tive put the contest on ice, capping their second victory over the Battling Bishops. With all the hurdles behind them the BE basketeers swept the remainder of the sea- son in grand style clipping NCHS, the Bears twice, the Eagles, the Tigers and the Gators.

Tumultous roars traded sides as the teams traded points. The Bantams moved into un- steady lead as the final quarter wore on. Fighting desperately and valiantly, the Bat- tling Bishops slid within a few scant points. With 2 minutes showing on the clocks' face, BE's big man, Tip Lavelle is fouled out. The Bantams move quickly to take advantage of the situation but the stouthearted Calhoun Street Quintet battle fiercely as the seconds tick by. The odds are then evened as Bill Yarborough is fouled out with a little less than a minute left in the thriller. Whipping the sphere downcourt, the Bishops uneasily ease- still two all important points behind the red and gold clad warriors. Friend to some, enemy to us that night was time, for he was the victor.
