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 score read 38 to 35

for Eagle Point at the automatic
tune-out buzzer.
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.

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.
