area all-stars played at
the Elon College gymnas

and Richie Mahaffey of
Clemson and Bobby Cre-

High man for the game
was Dickie Walker with
35 points, mostly on the
short jump shot. Butch
Zatazelo was the crowd-

team. He scored 24
points, mostly on driving
lay-ups and had several
fine passes. Jerry Kroll
added 26 points and scor
