Turkey Run the same night, 77- five personals. Daryl Williamson now stand at 66. j

The ironic thing about the two games for Cloverdale was that they shot 53 free throws against Fillmore and 55 against Edgewood. They connected on 40 in beating the Friday night opponent and 36 in whipping Fillmore. Fillmore gave the Clovers all they wanted for the first 16 minutes of the game with their own version of a pressing defense. Leading the way in the tactics was 5-10 junior John Tharp who held 30-point plus Rick Ford to a seven point first half. Tharp had just turned in one honey of a defensive performance in the previous weekend action by stopping Waveland’s 35-point-per-game average of Mike Mitchell with a six point first half and he continued along the same route Saturday night. Ford ended the game with 21, Tharp missing most of the last half with foul trouble. The Clover press found Fillmore making eight costly turnovers in the miserable third period and getting outscored 28-6. Tharp and Dave Walton both left the game with four fouls before four minutes had ticked

off the clock.

The 25-year-old pro from Bedford, Ohio, made the new attitude pay off to the tune of $30,000 Sunday when he curled in a 25-foot eagle putt on the 18th green and won the 72-hole. $150,000 Andy Williams San Diego Open by one stroke over
