Cardinals whip Van Buren team, 8475

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. , BANNER SPORTS EDITOR Fillmore played nip and tuck basketball with visiting Van Buren last night for almost three quarters before breaking loose and securing their second regular season win in four outings, 84-75. The contest found both teams cold from the outside with their shots during the first period and free throws deciding the 12-11 margin Van Buren held at the stop. Things loosened up; the second quarter as both teams kept tabs on each other with a man-to-man defense and the score failed to favor either team by more than one or two points. The hotly-con-tested first half closed with the two teams deadlocked at 36-36.:

ing the first minutes of the final period as he added two field goals and 5-6 free throws in less than three minutes to help the Cards to a quick 76-58 lead. Jack Miller returned to the game after being sidelined earlier with four fouls, and took up the command where W'illiamson left off by adding two quick buckets and boosting Fillomre's lead to twenty-two points. Van Buren tried a little of their own strategy at that point and hit Fillmore with a hustling defense they had called on occasionally in the earlier stages of the game. The press bothered the Cards enough to cut their leading margin to nine points, but the Cards fought it out until the buzzer and won the contest.

NEW DANCE STEP—Fillmore’s Dan Clark (20) looks as though he’s found a new dance step for the Cardinals during action at Fillmore last night, but really he was making an effort to grab a rebound from Van Buren’s Thomas (33). John Tharp (30) joined the action as the camera clicked.

first half, so Cascade's mentor switched to a zone defensive for the second half of action. The zone proved fatal to the Cadets : as Cloverdale's Jerry McCullough picked up speed where Ford left off and started bombing the nets from out.

Cloverdale will not play this 1 weekend, but meets the test next week when Bainbridge travels to the Clover gymnasj ium Tuesday. Cascade has a : six-way tournament coming up Friday and Saturday. Individual summaries:

By United Press International Faltering Kansas City rates a surprising eight-point favorite to knock Oakland from atop the American Football League’s Western Division in a highlight of pro football’s four-g a m e Thanksgiving Day card. Two prime factors contribute to the Chiefs’ selection as favorite in this televised tussle— the familiar home grounds and Oakland star Clem Daniels’ broken leg. Kansas City, with hopes for a repeat as AFL champion all but extinguished, has won six of 10 games. Oakland is 8-1, a half-game ahead of the San Diego Chargers, who are t w o - touchdown favorites over Denver in the other AFL turkey day game. In the National Football League. St. Louis is a six-point underdog at Dallas and Los Angeles rates a 10-point edge over the invading Detroit Lions. St. Louis (5-4-1) can move into first-place tie with Cleveland in the Century Division if the Cards can beat Dallas (7-3). Both teams were upset victims Sunday—Dallas losing to Washington and St. Louis bowing to Chicago. The Rams, battling B a 11 imore for first place in the coastal division, are 7-1-2, while Detroit is 3-5-2 in the central division. Sunday NFL games find Green Bay at Chicago.
