game by the score of 90-77.
The shooting of the Bear’s

during the first half, but in the
second half, the Bears were
unable to 'click’ on either de

Looney were the ones givingthe
Bears most trouble in the sec
ond half. Howell got all of his
16 points on eight straight shots
in that half, before fouling out.
Bumbry and Looney worked the
fast break to destroy Shaw’s de
fense and to collect 22 and 26
points, respectively.
The only bright spots for Shaw
were the quick and accurate
passing of Marshall Miller, who
had been out with an ankle in
jury, and the shooting of New
ton, who recently returned to
action, Moore, as usual, was
the scoring leader for the Bears
with 18 points, but didn’t- per
form as the ‘real’ Moore has in
the past. Gregory Jenkins, who

REVENGE OVER
GARNER TEAM

week and evened the count with
the boys of Consolidated, by a

occupied by the Garner fans,
gave way.

meant business and took the
first quarter, by the score of
21-20. Thev never had to come
from behind from then on. They
took the second quarter 24-20.
The Garner boys tightened up
for the third quarter and took
it 10-12. They still were coming
on in the last quarter, but
yielded it by a 13-12 score.

for the little Blues, making 26
points .and pulling down 17 re
bounds. McLamb came up with
16 points and 13 rebounds. Da

indication that the Aggies are
on the move again.
After having dropped two
games in a row, A&T bounced
back into the win column by
beating Elon College, 79-66 in
the Winston - Salem Holiday
Tournament.
Adams, who has been having
his difficulties this season,
came up with 19 points to pace
the Aggies’ attack. It was Soa
py’s best showing in the current
campaign.
Hubbard, A&T-’s 5-11 play
maker from Danville, Va., has
also shown steady improve
ment. "We are still not quick
enough,” says Coach Cal Irvin
about his team.

in the game the first half as he
pumped in 12 points and re

coming around.”

the Christians handily, they had
to survive an Elon rally at the
beginning of the second period.
A&T started out fast in the
first half and moved to an 18-5
