A Hale's Basket Closing Three Seconds Gives Eagles 44-43 Victory By Hank G:m Mail Tribune Sports Editor Central Point, Jan. 21 When exciting basketball games were discussed over the breakfast ta ble Saturday morning, one played on the Central Point floor came into the picture for the one played Friday night can be described as nothing less than "thrilling." The clock showed three sec onds to play in the game when Eagle Point's Walt Cahail took the ball out of bounds off to one side of the Pointers' basket some distance out. He passed to Lloyd Hale. Hale Shot Long Hale fired a shot from way out to the side and at least 30 feet from the basket that cleanly went through the hoop for two points as the final buzzer sound ed to give Eagle Point its fourth J-D-J victory 44 to 43 and its first District 4 conference win of the year. John Bigham had put Central Point in the lead 43 to 42 with but 30 seconds to go when he caged a foul shot and for a few seconds it seemed to be enough. In the last minute and a half the Pointers had come from behind and led 42 to 40 on two foul shots by Mike Trautman. Hale then tossed in a two point shot with 7:15 minutes gone to tie the game. His winning shot came as described. The guard's 10 points in the second half were a big factor in giving the Eagles a win. Pointers Hold Lead Central Point had led at the first quarter whistle 10 to 3, at the half 16 to 12 and the Eagles took a 29 to 27 lead at the third period.

The Pointers looked like a fairly sure winner in the first two quarters but the Eagles found the scoring range in the second half and except for the final three minutes of the game when Central Point rallied the best of the night, Eagle Point looked the better, The score was tied five times in the game and two of those came in the final two minutes of play when first it was 38 to 38 and then 42 to 42. Just to make the game even more exciting, the Pointers led three times in the final three minutes of the game. First it was 39 to 38, then 42 to 40 and with three seconds to play it was 43 to 42 for Central Point. Central Point had height and superior reach which it used o considerable advantage, especial ly in the first half. The Eagles kept pressing with long shots counting heavily. It looked for a time that fouls by Eagle Point would hurt and possibly cost it the game.

F., Chiefs Lead County Cage League Jacksonville, Jan. 21 Butte Falls high may still be among the charmed circle as undefeated in basketball this season but it was only by the skin of . its teeth, Jacksonville fans say with pride after the game here Fri day night. The Loggers took a 39 to 38 victory in the county class B conference in two overtimes. Butte Falls had led at the first quarter 9 to 8, at the half 16 to 13, at the third quarter 27 to 24 and at the end of the regular time it was 33 to 33, The first overtime closed with the score reading a 37 to 37 tie. Moore Scores Winner Winning basket for two points was made by the Loggers' D. Moore after a Jacksonville boy had sunk a free throw and miss ed another try from the foul line that would have given the Red skins a win. A team must score two points in a sudden death overtime for victory. The Redskins had by far the better of the foul shot making department by sinking 10 out of 21 from the free throw line while Butte Falls tallied by seven out of 28. It was superiority from the floor on two-point baskets that counted for the visiting team. Jacksonville easily won the preliminary game 41 to 21. Lineups: Butte Falls 39 II Jacksonville D.
