Larry Moser said his Cards rallied in the fourth period with 36 points, but still couldn't combat the three big men. Eminence led at all four stops, 26-14, 44-27, 69-42. and finally 92-78. The Cards

shot plenty of times. 80 to be exact, and connected on 30 while Reelsville (69) GF Eminence dropped in 31 of 56 tries for 55 per cent. Free throws Hansel 3

contributed much to the defeat as the Eels hit 30 of 39 and Fillmore 18 of 28. Dave Walton scored 22 for Fillmore and Daryl Williamson led the Cardinal barrage with 26 as they brought

their record to 7-5. Eminence is 9-5.

Roachdale chalked up their fourth season win by defeating North Salem Friday night. 73-64. The Hawks took a 15-12 first period lead and never let up. It was 44-28 at the half, and 56-51 at the end of the third period. Snodgrass had 18 points and Priest

Entries to the Banner’s “You Guess It Contest” where basketball fans guess the winners and scores of the coming County Tourney are coming in more and more everyday with the results varying very little. Ninety per cent of the guesses put Cloverdale and Fillmore into the final game with the Clovers taking the championship. A few list Bainbridge as the winner over Fillmore, a couple list Russellville the winner over Fillmore in the Saturday afternoon tussle, and the rest go to the fans' favorite. The only team picked not to win the tournament is Reelsville. No one gives the Indians an edge over Cloverdale in the first game.

The site and the foe were different from 1967's Super Bowl, in which the Packers whipped Kansas City 35-10 in Los Angeles. But everything else, especially Packer superiority, was exactly the same. All the Packers, of course, were one year older. But Lorn- j bardi insists that doesn’t mean the end of their reign Is in
