Lowly Reds Down Quebec The lowly Providence Reds, who occupy the bottom of the American Hockey League’s Eastern Division, knocked off front-runner Quebec Friday, 53, on Jeannot Gilbert’s two goals and one assist. Providence was ahead 2-0 before the Aces got on the scoreboard. George R nieri scored first, at 4:08 of the first period. Then came Gilbert’s first goal, at 2:30. Gilbert assisted on the third goal, scored by Pierre Brillant. in the second period, then scored what proved to be the winning goal at 17:50 of the middle period. In other AHL action, Baltimore beat Buffalo 5-2, Cleveland smothered Hershey 7-3 and Rochester defeated Springfield 7-3.

by Frank Puckett, Jr. The Cloverdale Clovers edged out a hustling Bainbridge Pointer squad in the last four seconds, 66-64, and the Belle Union Panthers trimmed the Reelsville Indians 75-59 last night to secure their berths in the Putnam County Tournament semi-finals. In a real barn-burner, that typically displayed Putnam County basketball at its best, the Cloverdale Clovers squeezed by their worthy opponents, Bainbridge, 66-64. The hero of the night was Roy Sandy, a five-foot-eleven-inch Cloverdale Junior who banged a 24 second jump shot to place the Clovers into their winning margin. After a slow scoring first quarter that caught the Clovers in the lead, 19-15, the Pointers began to come alive. Rick Parent popped in a 15foot jump shot topped off by Steele's long set shot in the starting moments of the second quarter to give Bainbridge a slim margin of 2, 21-19. Cloverdale then called time out for revision of strategy. Both teams matched buckets until Clover mentor, Miller, inserted his number six man, Coon. Coon sparked the Clovers in a short rally that was halted by the half time intermission, but left the Clovers holding the lead, 36-33. In a topsy-turvy third period of action a Sutherlin sparked Pointer squad rallied once more to take the lead with 3:18 remaining , by three points, 46-43. By the end of the quarter the Pointers, paced by teammates Steele and Sutherlin, chalked up a commanding nine point margin, 54-45. A decisive fourth and final period brought about the exciting ending to the fiery match. With 4:42 on the clock the Clovers started climbing. The score stood 61-48 in favor of Bainbridge. Truax popped in a couple of free throw's to start things. The Pointers then lost the ball on three consecutive calls. Cloverdale’s Price then scored on a lay-up, topped by a toss from the charity stripe from Stallcup. The Clovers were now down by five, 56-61. After Hervey dropped in a badly needed bucket he was caught for hacking Pointer Steele. Hervey left the game on his fifth foul while Steele made good his two attempts from the line. Clover Sandy grabbed a big rebound on the next play and pumped a shot from under to place the Clovers within four, 64-60. The next Clover effort paid off as Bainbridge lost the ball on a traveling call. Price popped a 15-foot jumper topped by guard Stallcup’s bid from the field and the tilt w ' tied once more, 64-64. With 24 seconds remaining in the ball game Clover Sandy managed to steal the ball and pump his victory shot that wound up the tilt. High men for Cloverdale were Sandy and Hervey with 17 points, while John Price collected 10. Pacing Bainbridge was Steele and Judy with 21 and 13 points respectively.

Roger Craig •** Signs With Reds After pumping the depths with the perennial cellar-dwell-ing New York Mets and reaching the heights with the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, pitcher Roger Craig has signed his 1965 contract with the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds are Craig’s third National League team in three years. Cincinnatti, which finish-! ed in third place last season’s photo finish, Friday signed Craig and Charlie James. Both players came from the Cardinals in exchange for pitcher Bob Purkey on Dec. 14. The Boston Red Sox announced the signing of four; regulars, including reliever Dick Radatz, the highest-paid pitcher in the organization. Radatz signed for a sum estimated in excess of $25,000. Tony Conigliaro, the rookie who set aflutter the hearts of the younger female fans with his records, third baseman Frank Malzone and pitcher Earl Wilson also signed 1965

contracts.

The Milwaukee Braves sign- 1 ed catcher Joe Beck and first baseman Gene Oliver. The Cleveland Indians obtained the signatures of three rookies. They were catcher Duane Sims, pitcher Floyd Weaver and shortstop Ralph Gagliano. The Pittsburgh Pirates signed infielder Gene Alley and pitcher

Bill Knoch.

It was a battle of the giants as Wayne Bright and Joe Williams fought the backboards in the third game of the county tourney. With four minutes left in the game Williams collected his final foul giving Belle Union the go sign. And go they did, 75-59. Photo by Martin

PEPPLE BEACH, Calif. UPI— Tony Lema, the champagne kid with the built-in smiles, tackles the nemesis of all golfers today-Pebble Beach.

In nine previous tries at defending a PGA title he always has failed. This time he is in a good position, leading an all-star field in the chase for $84,500 in prizes by three strokes. Touy has a 71-65-136. Tied for second place are veteran Bill Collins, who had a 70 Friday, and the great Negro Star, Charley Sifford, who had a 68, each for 139. “But the way I figure it,’’ says Tony, “nobody is a leader in this tournament until he has played Pebble Beach. After three rounds, then you have a

watch. Confusion reigned the scene as the bewildered crowd w r ondered how the score and time were running. But thanks to the alert help of the scorekeepers and official timekeeper the score and time were related to the crowd by way of the public address system. A first-half of action passed with the Panthers grabbing a commanding lead and clinging to that lead to close the half 33-24. In a rallying third quarter the Indians began to spark as their big man, Williams dropped through seven points including one 3point play. With approximately three minutes remaining in the quarter Indian Gibbs sunk a 18 footer, placing the Indians within six, 42-36. After two Panther errors and Reelsville’s timely spark the buzzer sounded ending the third period with Reelsville trailing by the slim margin of four, 49-45. With 5:00 remaining ‘big’ Bright began to tally for the Panther squad. Pulling off six consecutive defensive rebounds and adding twelve points to the fire (including one shot that left the rim tingling) the Panthers secured their victory, 75-

Garfield Noses Out Tiger Cubs, 78-77

To lose a one-point decision to one of the toughest teams in the area is no disgrace as one Tiger Cub fan pointed out. And Terre Haute Garfield did squeeze by a rambling Greencastle squad 78-77 in a barnburner that kept the fans on the edge of their seats right up to the wire. Greencastle, playing heads up ball, led into the second quarter 23-18 but trailed 42-40 into the half. The slow third quarter

placed them even farther behind as they tagged into the final eight minutes a 61-53 underdog. A fourth quarter rally stepped up the scoring and with eight seconds remaining in the game Garfield's Joe Touchton dropped in two free throws putting the Purple Eagles three points up. Time ran out for the Cubs as they could only score one more field goal in the remaining seconds. Garfield’s Frank Hamblen

took the scoring honors with 24 points. Greencastle had four men reach double figures as Troyer, Blotch, Chadd and Nanovsky connected for 21, 20, 12 and 10 respectively. No statistics were available for the "B” team game. Garfield (78) FG FT Hopton 5 Murawski 3 Kellet 4 Buell 7 Touchton 2
