PARKER FAYETTEVILLE—When a game about as tight as you want to see throughout the first frame broke loose in the second, the Saints from St. Augustine’s at Raleigh struck decisively to register an 84-56 win over the struggling Bron co clan. With a two-win mafgia between them and to'irn£im»nt competition this' year .ind just two games to i?o, the Falcons set about to make ouick work of the fiomeboys, but it did not happen that wav. Th» Falcons encountered one rpid block after anolher during thp first half, which was tied ex- ictlv six times. It took concen trated sepond-holf- poimding to e'6ot off ’ tire 'ftro(|eojbdys det^i’m- ined to 'register a much-needed win. During the entire first, period the score flipp“d tp and fro likej the pendulum of a clock, due to fhe effective work of siirh ner-1 formers as Frederick “Red” Bibby,' Percy Arrihgtori, Villiam Powell and Robby Lewis for Favefieville vcr for the visitors. It was during the second half, however, that the bottom f»Jl out. For one thing, the Saunders men lost sight of the basket, for anoth- ‘T, the Falcons inserted into the lin»-up a freshman, Thomas New- bold, who husteled in 17 points, just two shy of the 19 pumped in by the game’s high-point man, William Baxter, ace Jalcon floor- man. • While tfee, outcome of Jhfe c«n ^t^-st v^fig, ,a hejirthreaker'ifbr .xt’he vMiiyfiuniirjf tei|cher*..it1>ush^’ tihe Raleigh buys ' a' notch closer to iheir Aoal of CIAA tournament participation this year.
