Last Second Shot By Lancers Tops Shamrocks 61-60 By Harr) Griffey A fired up North Liberty basketball team almost pulled off an upset of Northern State Conference frontrunner. 1 a\ die. last Friday night before a very large Homecoming crowd at North Liberty. As has happened many times in this season the Shamrocks were fighting tooth and nail but lost out in the final seconds. This one though, seemed harder to take than the others due to the way it ended. Senior guard Bob Downs got things going by banging in a 20 foot jumper but LaVillc's Bill Rash followed with a basket from under and then one from b foot out. Sharpshooting Gary Savill got a 15 foot jumper from the side to give the Lancers a 6-2 lead five minutes into the first quarter. Gene Davis popped in a short jumper but the Lancers got a rebound basket by Roger Lindvall. a lay-in by Savill followed by both ends of a two shot foul by Savill. Coach Herter called a time-out as the score board showed 2:30 remaining and LaVille ahead 12-4. He put Bruce Griffey in the lineup who hadn't started because of the flu most of the week. After the time out. Griffey got a basket from close in and was fouled by Lindvall giving him a three-point play. Rash added two more baskets and Sac ill one free throw before Griffey got a great pass from Downs to score two more. When the buzzer sounded, the Lancer were on top 17-9. Chris Cox sank a jumper to get LaVille going in the second period but steads Dave Reed came back

from 5 feet out for Liberty. Rash and Lindvall came back with one basket apiece making it 23-11. Greg Weiss got a nice side shot and then Reed muscled in making two side shots and a free throw . As the half ended the Lancers were on top 35-30. During the halftime. Mary Vukovits was crowned Homecoming Queen for 19'8 in a ceremony that had co-captains Greg Weiss and Bruce Griffey doing the honors. At the start of the third quarter the Lancers drew first blood by getting two baskets from close in. Rash and Dvkstra got these points. Downs stole the ball and drove in for a bucket and Weiss got another side shot to make the score 39-34. Savill got his own rebound for two more points and Donws got open for a jumper from the key. Reed, who has been playing good consistent ball, got a tip-in and brought Liberty within three. Lancer coach Larry Radecki called a time out and it must have done some good as Rash and Dykstra each scored a basket before Reed got a lay-in. Hosinski got a rebound basket and Savill sank a technical that was called on Weiss when he protested too vehemently. The Shamrocks came out smoking in the final period with Downs and Davis each getting long jumpers. Both teams went to the hoop with success but the game got really exciting after the Shamrocks called time out at 2:40 trailing 57-52. Reed gave Todd Allsop a nifty pass that he took in for a bucket and Griffey got them within one with a short jumper. Jim Shamo was fouled by Downs and missed the first shot with Griffey coming up with the rebound for the Shamrocks. Liberty called a time out at :36 and Davis went to the baseline for a basket at :21. Radecki promptly called a time out

with Liberty out in front 58-57. Savill gave the lead back to the lancers and a traveling call gave LaVille the ball again but Griffey stole the ball and went to the bucket and was hammered but the referee called him for a traveling violation before the foul. After a timeout with : 15 remaining, Liberty worked the ball for a shot and Reed hx>k a 6 footer and made it with :01 on the clock as LaVille called time out. The Shamrock fans were estatic as it looked like a big upset for them The ref said the clock should read :03 so the Lancers still had a slim chance. Everything would have to work perfectly for them. Coach Herter elected to have five men play back and let Hosinski throw the ball in unmolested. Hosinski rifled a perfect pass to Rash at half court who immediately tossed it to Savill on the side who had Griffey all over him as he shot the ball. The buzzer went off with the ball in the air — the ball hit the rim and bounced up. hit high off the backboard and fell through the hoop. The Lancer fans mobbed their team as the Shamrock rooters stood open mouthed in unbelief. Another close ball game lost. Savill. the hero of the game, led all scorers with 24 points. Reed had 19 for the Shamrocks followed by Bruce Griffey with 11. B-Teun Wins 16th The Shamrocks B-Team started out slow but ended up with their 16th w in against one defeat as they downed the Lancers 41-26.

The Secret T^ife Os The Tbrest HOW TREES BREATHE, DRINK AND GROW

At the tips of its roots, through tiny root hairs, a tree drinks water gallons every day This water flows up through microscopic channels in the trunk, then out into the branches, and, finally, into the leaves And there, much less than one percent is used to make food for the tree The oak tree pictured at right, for example, can drink up to 300 gallons of water a day, but uses less than one (piart to make food, which is eventually converted into new wood and bark This lavishness. however, is far from wasteful The up ward movement of water is vital to the complex pro cesses that keep a tree alive and growing through de cades or centuries Vast quantities of water evapo rating through pores on the underside of each leaf are necessary for both food making and th«- accumula tion of enough minerals for the tree's needs 77iis article was preparcc the other members of the taming the beauty and use

■A jj IN THE LEAVES water and carbon dioxide combine to make food but most water passes out through holes on the underside of each leaf in a natural "air conditioning" required for photosynthesis, the basic food making process
