March 6, 1970 Generals beat Wilson for playoff spot by Steve Johnson Led by guards Eddie Lincoln, Artie Wilson, and Tim Myers, and reserve Dave Poppinga, the Generals ripped Wilson’s Tro jans, 67-53, in last Tuesday’s playoff game at Benson. The G-men will now face Benson at Madison’s gym tonight at 8 p.m. for doing an excellent job on the boards, where the G-men held a 34-19 edge. Also noted by the coach was the play of the second unit, consisting of Tim Stam baugh, Jackie Chinn, Greg Shu- kart, Robin Sinclair, and Pop pinga. They came into the game in the second quarter as Grant outscored Troy 16-8 to post a 31-22 halftime lead. Artie Wilson led the Generals in scoring with 15 points and made five of the seven field goals he attempted. Lincoln vir tually doomed the Trojans with fine outside shooting in the sec ond half. JUNIOR EDDIE LINCOLN shoots over a Wilson defender in the Generals’ 67-53 win over the Trojans. Eddie, shooting well from the outside, scored 12 points and was a key factor in the win. Benson, a 61-50 victor over Franklin on Tuesday, should be a tough test for the high-riding Generals. They have three tall front line men and employ a tight zone defense. The aggressive Myers played an outstanding defensive game and converted two steals into key baskets. Poppinga, who plays with the second unit, came off the bench to score five bas kets from inside and out. Mr. Rooney cited June Jones “We have to do better on the boards and shoot better than we did in our first game with Ben son, a 50-46 loss. They are big, but not terribly fast,” comment ed Coach Ed Rooney. “We’ll be ready.” vaults. Taking sixth on the bal ance beam was Mary Ann Mar- queling. Ann Gerber was sixth on the uneven bars.
