THE KINGS .MOUNTAIN HI SPORT SITS BY CHARLES CARPENTER ] Sportsmanship at Central gymnas ium Is slightly improved since the , unfortunate display which had its , climax in the closing moments of . the thrill-packed Cliffside double ] header here last week. , That, dear basketball fans, is not ] good stuff, winnning or losing! t The unlucky official around whom ( the situation had been revolving all t night up to the climax, was James ( Justice, of Charlotte. During the hectic 23 to 23 girls' , game, Brother Justice (and a few , of the visiting lassies) was the ob- ] Ject of many undignified, shall we say exclamations? t And duiing the boys' affair the , situation was steadily unimproved. Climax came with the score at 21 seconds left. Some enterprising I vnnt.o > 1 mvuiuouicrr nuupsier aecided he'd make the score three i points in our favor and instead of holding the ball till those mere sec onds ran out, slammed one on the backboard. Henry Padgett, Cliffside guard, stole the rebound and set sail via the dribble route towards his basket Bob Neill was determined that Mr. Padgett would not change the score. Brother Justice yelled FOUL. The electric scorekeeper clock ran out and the game was over. But Mr. Padgett still had a chance to even the score, and send the game into an overtime. And elements of the crowd, (what was that word we used?) O! yeah, exclaimed, continuing their asault on Brother Justice. Finality the court was cleared and Mr. Padgett missed his free shot and the locals were the winners, seemingly much to the sat isfactlon of the Cliff side boys, who had evidently had a stomach full of i the Kings Mountain crowd. Brother Justice, had he called on | the rule book governing the sport of basketball, could have called any number of technical fouls on the Kings Mountain fans, and not the team, until Mr. Padgett had shot enough to have tied, and even won the game. Ifs not the players themselves who govern the conduct of the fans at a basket ball game. It's the official. And the best way to cure an unthinking, unknowing, uneducated fraction of a crowd that leads others into their predicaments is to punish the entire crowd. And, that, by calling technical fouls on the unsportmanllke fraction of the? sjaiat s<< / I . * * ^ % ' , f' y ' ~ ' f. .v .
