Jamesville Dudes Win

Deadlock Broken
In Second Extra

College Tonight
By J1MMIE REDDICK
The Jamesville Dudes continued
their winning streak Wednesday
I night at Jamesville by defeating the
strong Windsor Rebels in a very close
"BalUe by a score of 22-21. The reg
i ulation game ended in a 17-all dead
! lock. The teams went into an extra
period and neither team seemed able
to score, and the game was carried
into the second extra period.
Shortly after the second extra per
iod had started Jamesville's Holliday
dribbled the length of the court and
counted a two-pointer, which was
quickly matched by a rebound shot
by Walker. The ball changed sides
a few times and "Spit" Martin, of
the Dudes, counted a nifty two-point
er front midcourt. Again Walker
evened the score by a nice rebound
shot, and then Holliday was drib
bling in fast for a crip shot and was
fould. getting two shots. He made
good on the second and made the

Williamston's Martins notched
their 31st win of the season when
they walloped the strong Goldsboro
All-Stars in a fast game played here
Wednesday night. The final score
was 43-24, and the Martins com
pletely dominated the game as much
as the score indicates.
From the time Jeff Grant took the
opening tip-off, until the whistle
blew ending the first half, the Mar
tins gave as fine an exhibition of
ball-handling, passing and sharp
shooting as has been seen on the lo
cal court all season, and the half
way mark found them leading the
Goldbugs by a 26-8 margain. During
this period the locals had simply out
classed the potent All-Stars, who
had won 25 games in 27 starts this
year, in every phase of the game,
as the entire team was definitely
"on" at finding the basket, and they
dropped in beauties from all angles.
Going into the second half with
an 18 point lead, the locals were con
tent to play the visitors on even
terms during the remainder of the
game, us they hit the rim for 17
points, while allowing the visitors
16. The Martins almost pulled an
"iron man" act as the five starting
players went the entire route with
the exception of Pap Diem, who was
replaced by Flack in the waning mo
ments of tin- contest. It would be
hard to single out the individual star
for the locals, air all five offered a
briUlant brand of heads-up ball.
However, leading the scoring for the
Martins was Jeff Grant, with 14
points, followed by Beaird, Ander

There was a little court play and the
whistle blew ending the con test.

a bang, having an eight-point lead
at^ the end pi the first-quarter, hut
failed to score the second period and
the score at the end of the first half
was 13-11 in favor of the Dudes.
After the half the lead jumped
from one side to the other, never get
ting over three points.
Grady Love, of the Rebels, held
"Spit" Martin, the Dudes' biggest
scoring threat, to 8 points, the low
est this season, however Martin led
both teams in scoring for the eve
ning. Walker, of Windsor, ranked
high for the Rebels. D. Holliday and
Brown were next in line for the
Dudes with seven and six points re
spectively. Love was next best for
Windsor with seven. Goldstein of
