BASKETBALL BELLES #’* »>* The Gracelyn, center took the referee’s throw-falmly, tossed the ’’all to one of her forwards who 'woke pt th>~' instant the referee tow 1 hall; the forward made a miiek reverse pivot fed the ball to the other forward, who likewise madri a reverse pivot and fed the "enter, who came breezing- down + be middle for an easy lav-uo shot. It was a perfect working of the so sailed “trailer” plav. and its swiftness left the crowd fl"ast. Bill Bums squirmed; that play made his new defence look oretty sick. Now it was Glendale’s turn to receive ‘he ball in the center circle. Glendale’s nlucky but in experienced litti'’ l forward, Mears, nervously waited for the throw from the referee. Throw was made the Glendale forwards instead of breaking as they had beien taught stood in their positions as if they were frozen. Indeed, the huge crowd, the pressure that waS upon them had temporily paralized them. The referee’s whistle broke the tension. , “You’re holding the ball too long” barked the ref. Glendale had lost the ball. Gracelyn was awarded the ball out of bounds. A diagonal pass across the court, followed by a long set shot from a different po sition near the sideline made the score 4-0 Gracelyn. The stands groaned as they saw the home team looking so badly. They had heard that the first team had quit, but they had come out of loyalty hoping that by some miracle they might have a winning team. Just now it looked as if the home Warn might be going to take a licking at the hands of a hated rival. On the next play, Glendale re ceived the ball. This time the nervousness had worn off a bit the forwards broke, short swift accurate passes took them through thrf Gracelyn defence where Mears laying up a short shot a little too hard saw an opposing guard bound into the air, retrieve the ball and whip it all the way across the center line to one of her for wards. A long shot was attempted but in the scramble under the basket the ball was tapped in mak ing the score f>-0 in favor of Gracelyn. Through the stands could be heard the beginnings of a chant, We want Marlowe” We want Marlowe”. Bill Bums sank a little lower on the bench and concentrated grimly on the play that was taking placet on the court. His team was receiving some bad breaks; did they have the guts to come back? His team was settling down. The zone defence had sud denly become effective and the Gracelyn forwards were unable to work the ball into scoring po sition. However a few lucky long shots was keeping the score mount ing for the opposing team, while the Glendale forwards just could n’t seem to get going. At the end of what seemed to Bill Bums the longest eight minutes he had eves experienced, the first quarter came to a close with Gracelyn leading by a score of 12-3. All the Glendale/ scoring had been done via of the three throw route. As the team gathered in a hud dle on the court during rest period, Bill watched them anxiously. The way thciy acted to an unfavorable score would either make or break them as ball players. If they should give up now, there was little hope that they would ever make a worthy team. Suddenly his tense features relaxed in a smile. One of his players catching the worried expression on his face cheerily held up two fingers with the V for Victory salute. He had to admit they had pluck. The scor er’s horn sounded the beginning of the second quarter. Gracelyn now api*)ared very confident, almost cocky. Conse quently, their play suffered and the Glendale team doing nothing spectactular began bringing the score up more respectable pro portions. Midway of the' second quarter the score was 18-12 in fav or of the opposing team. Then the Glendale guards became a I little over zealous and Gracelyn I had settled down wonderfully after dismal beginning scored twice on fast breaks to make the score 22 to 16 as the timers horn sounded indicating the half. When the tram assembled with coach Burns to talk things over at the half, they seemed to be full of confidence that since they had conquered their crowd fright ; that things would be alright. Bill* 1 cautioned the) girls not to become ; too anxious and commit too many , fouls. Then he urged the guards to ■ stick to their zones unless Grace - lyn should be ahead in the final i minutes of play. If that should be . the case he told the guards s they would have to play man to man very aggressively. The for ! wards were reminded that they , must fast break, and that they i must continue to work for re i bounds. • All too soon, ten minutes had passed. Again the whistle sounded, | and the two teams rested and ; eagerly entered the contest with : determination. It was now nip and tuck first one team would score i and then the other. Spectacular • play maVched spectacular play, . beautiful passing mired with an occasional “borulhead” play that , only added to the zest of the oc . casion. The stands were a riot of ; excitement, and the rival cheer ; ing sections kept a constant up - roar. The third quarter ended. , Glendale now trailed her adver sary by five points 30-25. Bill [ Bums felt as if ten years had , been taken from his life. Now it was the whistle beginn , ing the fourth quarter. Both teams were going all-out. Fans were seeing one of the brpt games I ever played in the local gym. The i five point margin that Graycelyn had loomed larger as time began . to run out. Thrrle and one half , minutes left to play. Bill Bums , looked down the bench. Suddenly t making up his mind, he called, [ ‘‘Come here Rosa.” . (Will Rosa get into action? What will be the result? Time and next . wetek’s installment will tell.) - » Sports Chatter ! By GENE BYRD o It seems that my printing of the partial team of the Philadel phia Atheletic of 1930 and 1931 stirred up some little interest. It came to me that Max Bishop was the second baseman in that outfit. Sometime later, I was walking down the street, and Dr. Morse whom I hadn’t known as a sport fan, but who evidently is, called to me and told me that Bishop was the second baseman. We are still a little uncertain about the short stop, but I believeit to have been Joe Boley. That left us with an outfielder to locate. Dr. Kirkpatrick at the Black Mountain Drug Store came to our aid by informing us that ‘‘Bing” Miller completed the outfield trio of A1 Simmons and Mule Haas. George Wrenn is optimistic over the possibilities of getting up a softball team to represent the Friendship Chapel in the local softball league. This would help to stir up keener competition, and we would welcome their entry. Our entry in the Moore General League suffered a rather irritating incident on Thursday night of this past week. They gathered at six o’clock all set to play the Post Engineers. They waited a long time; a few of the Engineers showed up, but the members of the Moore General baseball team were being held up in an extra inning game over at Enka. Inci dently, the referees were away with the team too. So there they were. At seven o’clock the base ball team returned, but it was a little too late to play ball then. Manager Bill Rudisill says that he is going to claim a forfeit. It will be interesting to see what the league commissioners say about the claim. Some fans are beginning to say that Asheville has one of the best clubs that it has had since the days of Ray Kennedy, Dusty Cook, Ben Chapman and Company. Speaking of the tourists of the old days, Speedy Spiers was the manager of the 1930 club and was noted for a sense of humor. A group of pitchers were warming up near him one day, when “Buck” Greene then pitching for the tour ists let loose a wild one that took the skipper on the shin. He looked up at Marty Baylin, another tourist pitcher, yelped “I didn’t throw it Speedy. Spiers replied with scorn, “Yeah, I know you didn’t throw it Marty. It hurt.” ANSWERS TO LAST WEEKS SPORT QUIZ: The Gipper was George Gipp famous Notre Dame back of the 1920’5. Knute Rockne used to in spire his team by saying, “Let’s win this one for the Gipper.” 2.
