THE FIRST GAME PITTED the unbeaten Bulldogs of Columbus against Huntington, and what a dandy that was After an exciting first half in which Columbus di<plajvd the fabulous shooting for a period as time that they arc noted for, Huntington sunply took over and went on to win. Columbus had s-xmed an enormous number of point thus past season, but didn t get the high geared Offens*- going with a very sticky defense of the Vikings di»gging them aU th* lime.

Trailing 37-34 at halftims, coach Bob Straight - boys had only one thing in mind to gain tho lead. This, howevei wasn’t safe either as Newsome led the Bulldogs right back intc the game from a ten point deficit only to have Huntington again go ahead for the win. Their real power came from the play of Shumaker and underneath work of Weaver. The final score was 74-71. eliminating the favored Bulldog and putting the sentimental favorite Huntington, in the f.nn’s. THE SECOND GAME REtween Lafayette Jeff and the Rex Mundi Monarchs, se-med just a little dull after the highly exciting first game aa Jeff jumped to an eary lead and managed to stay a f.-w points ahead all the way in the fu »t half. An identical 2d-16 score to the fir t game wo.** the story after one quarter, but the Rronchoa had increased thw to 35-27 at haftlme and appeared to be almost playing around with the Monarchs Jeff • crtainly wn-mt pushing hard with Tern* Stillabower pumping in ehot after shot from the corners and Dc”nv Brady stuffing in the long jumping one handers from out front BUT AGAIN THE CASE WAS that Rex Mundi proved to the crowd that they came to play basketball They* went right t< work on Jeff who aeemed to b** having just a slight letdown, ami tied the Mxm* after a few minuets had elap ed The game remained tnen with Jeff finally gaining a slight 50-4 P lead going into the last eight minute* Then the class .separated the two teams as Lafat-ette nwvd out to win by a good margin In the first .-ox minutes of the final Mann. Jeff had held Evansville to only fmu points while tossing in 18 of their own. The last couple of minute* really opened the <kx»i as substitutions came in freely THIS SET THE STAGE FOR the finale Thia contest was a real Hootder Bam Burner. Lnfayette Jeff broke a 1-1 tie early m the fame and moved to a 7-1 lead ax Terry Stiilabuwer hit a couple from the corner and Dan Morrison added a rebound shot But Huntington kept their composure and came bark to grab an 11-8 lead. They held the mat gm at the end of the quarter 1714. The two teams kept a fine pace going in the second quartet despite the fact that two important cogs. Stillabower and Mike Weaver both sat on the bem h with three personal fouls. Denny Brady kept the Bronchos m the game with hia tremendous play but Huntington held the haMtime lead by two. 37-35 STU-LABOWER CAME BACK in to hit the first two baskets of the second half, but Weaver and Siiunuiker kept Huntington alive with back to back field goals It wm txw more baskets fen each team keeping Huntington ahrad 45-43 before Jack Walkey tied the score. Steve Ricks broke the lie with a free throw and then put Jeff ahead with a tip shot The Cwx> squaxia then traded baskets with Jeff holding a 5047 lead with the last period to play THE SCORING WAS SLOW in Hus quarter ua both teams Merv cautious Shumaker hit fuel but Walkey' came back with a U-iakel Weaver added a free shot, but Walkey hit agaui and RakM put in a basket with 5 2t> to play U> make the more 5&»50 }< .ntmglun coller«<»d two ba -kets in the next three minutes iu Jeff was playing it cool out front
