28 THE ORANGE AND BLACK their defense was shaky and ragged. This continued for two weeks until the night the team was dressing for the Troy game which would decide the Hot Stove League. Scarcely a word was spoken, and Johnny could see that 'ASpecs had planned something. Specs did not an- nounce the starting lineup until the team was ready to take the floor for warm-up. This five will start. Johnny and 'Ace' at forwards: 'Andy' and 'Benny' at guards: Blake at center. A tense silence fell over the dressing room. Would Benny try to do his act again, or had he learned his lesson? Specs broke the silence again. O. K. Give them all you got, and we'1l walk off with this league. Just before the team took the floor, Benny made his way to Specs and said, Thanks, coach, l'll do my best. l think l'vc learned my lesson. Johnny led the gang on the floor for their warm-up shots. Then a quick huddle, handshakes with opponents, and the championship game was on. The first play was a tip-off to Ace to Johnny to Blake for the score 2-0. Troy tried to pierce the always easy Burke defense, but with Davis playing one of his best games, it was practically impossible for the Troy guards to get the ball in past the foul line. Davis broke up that pass, passed to Johnny, and on a sweet pivot play scored easily under the basket instead of from mid-court as he had been doing all season. It was 10-3 at the quarter: Benny Davis had eight points. he was playing a swell defense game and was passing the ball to his mates. No more long shots. All peeps. He needed fifteen more points to cinch the league record. We have them on the run, said Johnny as they ran back to their defense. You will be high scorer, Ben, if we have to play five periods. But Troy was not to be pushed around in such style. They got their offense working, and with the score 39-35 with four minutes to play, the crowd became tense, and both teams played cautiously. Burke was in striking distance of the league championship, but Troy was just at determined, and they tied the score with one-half minute to play. Benny in the meantime needed one point to get the league high scor- ing honors. Taking a rebound from the enemy basket, he dribbled to mid-court. His favorite shot! But, no, the team wouldn't like it. He glanced at Johnny, who yelled SHOOT. Davis crouched in position, and let the ball go. It sailed upward in a high arc. To the tortured Benny is seemed suspended in mid-air. Then it dropped swiftly to the hoop. In the heavy stillness a l'SWlSH! signified three things: a championship for Burke, high scoring honors for Benny, and a lesson learned. At last Benny was one of the boys. The players swarmed into the dressing room. Bedlam ensued. Nice shot, Specs called to Benny And strangely enough Benny replied, A'l'm sorry, coach.
