In their only loss of the sea son, the Bucks were upset by Fayetteville 2H-26. Raeford and Stedman, rated about even by prognosticators, squared off in a head-to-head battle here Tuesday night, and (or the better part of four quarters, it was anybody's ball game before Stedman pulled away to win it. 65-56. The final score was hardly indicative of the roughshod battle, in which a total of 38 personal and two technical fouls were called, and fully that many infractions were ignored by the officials. The two teams were dead locked, 12-12, at the end of the first quarter, and at halftime, Stedman held a bare one-point lead. That quickly vanished after the intermission when the Bucks apparently found the ran ye and forced ahead by four points midway in the third period. There, their good fortune waned, and by the end of the third stan.a, stedman held a five-point advantage, 45-40. Again the Bucks rallied, and with only 1:41 remaining, Willie McCoy hit with a twisting jump shot to tie the score at 54-54. That's when Lady Luck walked out the bark door on the Bucks. Jimmy West hit with a two pointer to make it 56-54, Sted man, with 1:03 remaining. La mar Johnson was louled by Jeff McNeill and pumped In two free throws to make it 58-54, Sted man, and only 55 seconds to go. From there in, the Bucks fought vainly for possession and had to foul the ball-hawking visitors--a necessary hut desperate stra WD tegy which seldom works to the trailing team's advantage. Richard McNeill fouled La mar Johnson on a iayup, temp ers flared, and both teams were assessed with technical fouls, Johnson getting two extra shots for the personal against him. He hit three of the four for t 61-54 Stedman lead, and Bill Seiner connected on two free throws, because of the techni cal against Stedman, to make it 61-56, Stedman. Sammy Prince, subbing for Butch Womble, who had fouled out late in the final quarter, was fouled, but missed on a one-and-one situation. Tommy Baker fouled Jimmy West, who netted two points, and Senter fouled Johnson, who tallied a final two free throws for the 65-56 winning margin. Senter poured in 20 points to lead the Bucks.
