"Fast" for Big Man The question uppermost among boxing speculalors is whether the giant can fight. On this we have only the testimony of .Moyer and Flaherty, who say "he has a fast left hand for one so large as well as a jolting right upper cut." " After all, Potgieter has had only 30 rounds In the ring In his 13 fights, but Eloff soys he has won 12 of them, mostly by knock outs. Moyer added: "Flaherty seems to think Potty has possi bilities or he wouldn't work with him." It should be interesting lo watch the big, friendly, strong man. What about Policter's opposi tion?

Both Russell and Moore, the two leaders in every offensive depart ment, have been sick for a week with the flu. Russell is expected to return to school Monday, but Moore might be out even longer yet. It is doubtful whether cither one of them would be strong enough for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Dragons at South Salem. The Saxons now have their work cut out for them if they hope to go to the state tourney for the third straight year. They are now a game behind leading Albany and a game ahead of third-place North Salem. To go to state South must beat North and either Albany or Lebanon. The Spartans caught the Saxons napping early in tho third quarter as they took a nine-point lend after a 24-24 halftime tie, but the Saxons came back to take tho lead late in the game dropping behind again. Bruce Fleming, the 6-6 center playing with his right hand in a cast, led the scoring with 17 points and scored the ticing and go-ahead points for the winners. Bob Bayne opened the second quarter with a layin to give South Its longest lead of the game. The Spartans scored the next two bas kets, and the halftime score was knotted at 24-all. Nine Point Lead Held Rob McCulheon made a layin, Gene Gullcdge hit on a jump, Lary Younger made a free throw, Fleming hooked in a bucket and John Coleman followed with a lay in to shove the Spartans Into a 33-24 lead with 5:15 left.in the third quarter. The Saxons came right back, however, and cut the deficit to 35-33 beforo Fleming mado four gift losses. Keith Burres closed the scoring In the period with two free throws for South to make the score 39-35. Fleming hooked In a bucket, but then the Saxons, came back to take a 43-41 lead with 2:11 left Ed Lewis made a jump shot, Bob Bayne canned a pair of free throws, Stan Anderson jumped in a basket and Wayne Robinson hit on a jump In the flurry. Fleming made another hook with 1:33 left to tie the game, and with :50 left he tipped in two points. McCutcheon closed the scoring with two free throws with five seconds remaining in the game.

It leaves North Salem with thrcf losses and with South Salem to play next Friday, then Cofvallii and Sweet Home. Albany has yet to meet Lebanon, Sweet Home and South Salem, and isn't figured to lose more than one, if any, of these. Coach Ward Paldanlus thought his Vikings were not playing near ly so well last night as when they lostbyonepointatAlbanyJan.il. The facts are that they held a six- point ieaa at 2-Ti in tne tnira quarter and were ahead 35-30 at tho end of that profitable stanza. Albany's Bob Close and John Wilson did the wrecking job in the fourth quarter with their jump shots from outside in unchecked moments. The totaled 12 of Al bany's 16 in those last eight min utes, contributing most to Albany's second half success of hitting 11 of 17 shots. It was Close who put the Bull.-; dogs ahead at 43-41 with a pivot shot with 1:30 remaining and hit teammates fattened it up with three free throws. ;, Couldn't Penetrate The story of the fourth quarter; is one of frustration for the Vikj ings, who could penetrate Albany' zone defense only in one place', getting the ball to Kent Lammen but he was missing as never be fore. Albany wouldn't let Dennis McKce, the jump-shot menace, get off a shot after the first 10 seconds of tho second half. Close made three points to open the final quarter and Wilson jump ed one in to tie it at 35-35 after three minutes. Lammejrs, North's most consistent free thrower, miss ed two but Grant Harter lobbed a field goal in, 37-35. Lammers then hit two charities. 39-35, but Wilson notched a field goal and a freo throw from Homer wood's foul, 39-38. Little Jack Rohrbatigh tied it 39-39 with a free throw for Albany on Bob Reaves' foul with 3.10 to go. Trailed Long Time Wilson's talented jump shot from 25 feet out gave Albany its first lead since early in the second quarter, 39-41, with 2:15 left but Lammers tanked one from under neath for North's last opportunity, 41-41 with 1:45 on the clock. Then came Close's pivot shot and the three free throws, inviting fouls when the Bulldogs stalled out the last minute with a four- point lead. ' Lammers finished with 19 points. just ahead of Wilson's 18 for the victors. Buz Wilfert, Albany's star center, was checked well by Gar ter and ho got only eight. Quarter time scores were 9-7 for Albany, 20-18 for North, and 3S-30 for Norlh.
