The Bulldogs led most of the way, but in the fading seconds of the game the Tigers staged a rally and almost over- took them. Pat Worley, Bulldog for- ward, led the scoring as he had twelve points. Selden Spenser and Thad Thomas led the Tigers with ten and nine points respectively. The Tigers came back strongly to win the second game of the series by a score of 30 to 24. A very good first quarter proved to be the deciding factor for the Tigers as they led at the end of the first quarter by the score of 12 to 3. The Bulldogs narrowed the Tiger lead in both the third and fourth quarters but were unable to overtake them. Thad Thomas led the Tigers with sixteen points to take high scoring honors. The third and final game of the series was very exciting as the Bulldogs won in three overtime periods by the score of 54 to 51. A field goal by Chuck Bucke won the game in a sudden death overtime for the Bulldogs. As the whistle sounded to end the fourth quarter, the score was deadlocked. Also, at the end of the first and second overtimes the score was deadlocked. But after a minute and fifty seconds had elapsed in the third overtime period, Chuck Bucke hit a sixteen foot jump- shot to end the game.

UC League W-Iames Barnett, John Forsythe, and Fred Sharp. League play continued for about six weeks at the end ol which Pat XfVorley's team cap- tured the League flag. 68 Buford Anderson's quintet were tri- umphant in B League competition, while the team led by jim Barnett won out in League. At the end of regular league play a tournament was held in all three leagues. The irony of the tournaments was that no league champion was able to win a tournament. The winners in the tourna- ments were: League-Ron Gresham. B League-Vernon Richmond. C League-Fred Sharp. In mid-December XVebb played Bell Buckle High School on the latter's home court, with Bell Buckle winning 51 to 38. Both teams played even ball through the hrst quarter. From this point on Bell Buckle began to steadily increase their lead as their superior speed began to pay off. Fred Silverstein led the YVebb team with ten points. Bell Buc- kle's Jerry Vanatta took top honors for the game as he scored eighteen points. As usual the chief competition in bas- ketball came in Tiger-Bulldog play. The Bulldogs emerged victorious from the best two-out-of-three series as they won the first and third games. The first game was very exciting as the Bulldogs edged by the Tigers by the score of 32 to 31. Webb vs. Bell Buckle
