The win pulled the Jackets up to the .500 mark again in con ference play, with two victories and as many defeats. Earlier in the week, Elizabeth City had scuttled the Jackets 31-26 in a rough and tumble contest. Forward James Warren, who bucketed 17 points, and guard Earl Rook, who added 10 for runner-up honors, sparked the Jackets to their decisive win. First half play was ragged at times, but in the final period, the Jackets got their attack wor king smoothly and quickly built up a commanding lead. The closest that the visitors came to overtaking the Jackets after that 16-9 deficit at half time was midway the third quar ter when the count was narrow ed to 18-13. After that, however, Dan Cagle’s cagers pulled away as Warren, Rook and Clemmer started connecting from all ang les.
