As far as the outcome of the battle was concerned, that just about was the ball game. But as far as the Center Pigeon boys were concerned, it was just the start of the fight. Even when they were trailing by 20 points late in the third period, they played as hard as though they were protect lng a one-point lead. The game was loaded with dem onstrations of sportsmanship and intestinal fortitude. . Late in the third period, Guard D, G. Gibson, dazed and sick after being hurt in a flurry at the Fines Creek end of the court, had to leave the game. Five minutes later, West went out on fouls, and there wasn't an other sub left on the Center Pigeon bench. ' Gibson, still pale and shaken, slipped back into his jersey and took the floor again. In those last four minutes, he was the hardest-playing man on floor, and was in the middle of practically every flurry. On the scoring end, he shot five times 1 from way out in those last four minutes, and s sank four of them,'. : : - These championship games pro vided a colorful finish to a tourna ment loaded with color. In the Waynesville, Fines Creek, and Canton 'sections, all week the play was fast and hard.

Claudlne Ferguson collected seven points for the los ers, but the Aliens Creek girls couldn't solve the air-tight Sau nook defense. Mrs. McCracken and her mates started off quickly, rolling up 14 points in the opening period and holding the Aliens Creek girls scoreless. The Saunook girls clinched it In the second period, leaving the floor at half time with a 21-8 lead, that was entirely too big for the Aliens Creek sextet to overcome. The boys' game was a thriller from start to finish,' and Ratcliffe Cove had to play a close defensive game In the final minutes to In sure the 24-22 victory over smooth working Francis Cove. j After a flurry of exchanges, the Ratcliffe Cove boys pulled into the lead halfway through the first per iod, then managed to keep a small margin through the second, leav ing the floor at intermission with a 12-11 advantage. , But a few minutes after the third period ended, Wayne Ftanklln tied it up with a field goal. Then Cog dill put Ratcliffe Cove ahead, 15 13, Liner stretched it to 17-13. But Franklin staged a one-man rally that put the Francis Cove boys ahead. After a teammate sank a free throw, he fired in a long one and a layup that sent his team a head. .' Liner changed the lead again by sinking a field goal. But Franklin again came through with a goal as the third period ended, giving Francis Cove a 20-19 lead. A charity toss tied it up again early in the fourth, but Franklin sank a beauty from way out to make it at 22-20. Then Ratcliffe Cove boys went to work and clinched the game, A free throw made it 22-21, then Liner sank one to give Ratcliffe Cove the lead, and connected on a charity toss that won the game with three minutes to go. From then on both teams kept the fans in . hysteria with near misses, though neither cOuld make a single point for the rest of the game. ', Time and again, Francis Cove broke through on their own half of the court to snatch the ball vilh some fine floor work. But each time their offensive to get those two little tying points fizzled out on a hasty pass, or a shot that pumped out of the basket. In the final five seconds, Frank lin dribbled down half the court, and fired a push' shot at the hoop. Ths fans screamed as the ball roll ed around the rim In a downward spiral and thn spun out. Liner leaped up as it left the lip of the basket, and recovered for the lead ers. That's the way it ended. Linei's 11 points took high scor ing honors for the nightcap. But his work on the rebounds under and around both baskets was even more vital in the victory. Franklin's eight points all on field goals made up Francis Cove's best single scoring effort. Over at the Crabtrce-Iron Duff gym, the Fines Creek boys, Jed by Center Max Rogers and Forward Ledford. gained the combined sec tion finals by whipping Iron Duff's quintet, 48-35. The Lower Crabtree girls earlier had disposed of the Upper Crab tree sextet, 37-16. 4 ' In the boys' game, a furious battle from beginning to end. Max and his teammate led the' Fines Creek quintet from behind an early disadvantage, connecting for 19 points apiece in the course of the proceedings. - Iron Duff, with Jim Milner, Ray Milner, and Charles Ferguson leading the way, worked up a 15 14 lead by the end of the opening period. But Fines jCreek came beck in the next frame to gain a 22-19 advantage by half time. A close battle in the third left Fines Creek still leading, this time by 36-27, as the teams entered the final eight minutes of play. Iron Duff's boys worked up clos er, but the Fines Creek boys out scored them in the final period, 12-8, to take the sectional cham pionship. The first half of the finals for the Canton section title Thursday night gave the fans much more than their quarter's worth in two thrillers. Mrs. Mary Clark Layman pour ed 37 points through the hoop, but she and her Cruso teammates bow ed, 52-49, to the powerful West Pigeon sextet. The West pigeon girls, paced by Elizabeth Cogburn Wyatt and Mrs. Owen, had too balanced an of fensive, and too many fine guards for the Cruso sextet. Mrs. Wyatt connected for 27 points and her teammate put 25 in the basket, making up all the West Pigeon scoring. South Clyde's boys barely edged West Pigeon's tough quintet, 35-34, In the thriller that closed the night's performances. The victory came on Green's shot from the floor in the last three seconds of the battle. ' Green had collected 13 more points before Ihen as he emerged the top jnan for the winners, though West Pigeon's H. Owen, with 16 points, took high-scoring honors for the game.

The furniture can look far from home-made. Also, you don't need to be a wizard with a hammer or a screwdriver. Walter Blum, a 24-year-old archi tect, has just introduced a new line of knocked-down furniture which fits together without benefit of a single screw or nail, and is held by glue. The brush and glue, your only tools, come with the furniture packages. A butterfly spline slides Into a double dovetail to hold the furni ture together. Blum and his secre tary take apart and reassemble a small bookcase in their showroom In a matter of seconds. ' In Good Taste : "I've designed the furniture for people, with average incomes, but above average taste," Blum ex plained. Storage units, a dining table, a coffee table, and a desk, included in the Slide Assembly Furniture, are made from either birch or maple.Meslgned with simple, mod ern lines. Prices range from $16 for the two-shelf bookcase to $87 for a wardrobe with sliding doors that conceal six tray-drawers on one side and a clothes bar on the other. The furniture Is sanded ready for finishing. - "I tried making the pieces from solid lumber, but I found too much warping," Blum explained, "so I use a solid lumber core, usually white popular, with four layers of either maple or birch veneer." Each piece is edge-veneered to cover the veneer layers. The drawer bottoms and the backs of the cabinets fit easily into grooves. All the drawer runners are put on at the factory, and all the furniture legs are in place when the pieces are shipped. There's no hardware on anv of the furni ture. A three-drawer chest and the desk have drawers with a hidden groove so they can be Dulled out easily. Colors Contrasted ' Another designer of knocked- down furniture, Klaus Grahe. has some new package units which combine walnut plywood with birch to give a color contrast in each piece. A screwdriver is the main tool nf Grabe's furniture. "We don't claim thi fnrnHuro is so simple a child can builH it." Grabe said, "but we do find that women can put it together as read ily as men." :;r'.c;i; -' ;..;; . Grabe claims he can furnish a two-bedroom house with his knock down furniture for around $450. He has a couch bed with a wehhpri frame and a foam rubber mattress. His chairs use webbing woven a cross the frames, too. All this has to be done at home. The finishing must be done at home, too. But paint and lacquer manufacturers are making the Job easier all the time. The United States Plywood Co. has a special coating, called Satinlac, which gives a clear, hard finish. Two coats of this, plus wax, give a nat ural finish. Limed of pickled fin ishes can be achieved by using a special first coat, then adding the lacquer and wax.
