Basketball is still a team
operation, and you don’t often
make it by relying chiefly on
one or two superstars. The
classic example is Pete
Maravich, who brought glory to
himself but a minimum of
victories for LSU.
What happened to the Tigers,
' during Pete’s sensational reign,
could happen to the New Bern
High school Bears this season
As a matter of fact, it has
already been happening to the 4-
A Bruins against 3-A opponents.
Take the loss at West
Carteret. The Patriots ended up
with five players in double
figures, compared with New
Bern’s two. Of the 76 points
scored by the Bears, a pair of
performers racked up 59.
The third highest Bruin
accounted for 6, two others
tallied four, and the sixth
scoring player garnered three.
With this style of offensive to
cope with, rival coaches don’t
have to stop the big guns,
slowing them is enough.
Although it doesn’t have to be,
this year’s edition of the Bears
is showing early indications of
becoming the most erratic quint
in New Bern High school’s long
history. To a great extent, it’s a
case of haste makes waste.
Talent notwithstanding, the
Bruins aren’t apt to
successfully duplicate the
Harlem Globe Trotters when it
comes to ball handling, and why
should they attempt it? Play
making and percentage
shooting still aren’t obsolete.

The "pub-crawl” is a popular
stroke at the El Tapitio Hotel in
Guadalajara, Mexico, linked to
New York by non stop Air France
service. The 214-room hostelry
features a bar with stools in the
pool—as well as on dry land.

ball club, unless the team
develops a different approach,
should require no deep Blinking
in 4-A circles. You can do the
job by double-teaming the two
top guys, and trapping them
into making fouls.
A clever defender, and rest
assured there are a few of them
around in 4-A, can force any
reckless, run and gun opponent
into committing charging fouls.
Picking up a few blocking fouls
won’t make it a poor gamble.
Actually, the Bears have the
potential for a truly good ball
club, Hopefully, they’ll abandon
this sandlot, kindergarten stuff,
and work together as a unit.
Enough unselfishness can take
them a long way.
