SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
North .Carolina, State
Loop Title; opheirs
Br JOHN GRIFFIN -United
Press Sports Writer
Mighty North Carolina State,
ineligible for the big post-season
tournaments despite a glittering
23-4 record, at least owns the
regular season championship of
the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Wolfpack, rated seventh
in the nation, was presented the
title Monday night when Mary
land the only team with a
chance to tie, suffered a 75-71
setback to a Wake Forest team
led by .a pair of brilliant Bopho
mores. North Carolina State, which
concludes its league season to
night against North Carolina, is
barred from the NCAA Tourna
ment as a punishment for re
cruiting violations. And the Na
tional Invitation Tournament has
agreed to ignore teams barred
by the NCAA.
An NCAA berth will go to the
winner of the Atlantic Coast
Conference's post season tourna'
ment, March 3-5. But if State
wins that, too, the runner-up
team will get the bid.
Sophs Turn Trick
Ernie Wiggins and Jackie
Murdock were the sophs who
sparked Wake Forest after Mary
land led, 68-63, with 4:20 left.
Wiggins scored one basket, stole
the ball and set up another, then
scored a third to put the Deacons
ahead, 69-68. Murdock added two
, baskets and two free throws for
the final Wake Forest total. Bob
Kessler of Maryland took scoring
nonors with 29 points as Wake
Forest ace Dick Hemric was held
to 11, his lowest total of the
year.
A basket by Chuck Mencel with
two seconds left gave Big Ten
leader Minnesota, a 72-69 victory
over Wisconsin Monday night's
most dramatic finish. The vic
tory kept the Gophers a half-
game ahead of Iowa, who
trounced Illinois 89-70.
Kentucky and Alabama each
scored easy victories to remain
tied for the lead in the South
eastern Conference, but Ten
nessee was virtually knocked out
of the race by an 83-77 loss to
Georgia Tech".
Kentucky, the nation's No. 2
team, routed Vanderbilt, 77-59,
despite free use of subs as Bob
Burrow led the attack with 31
points. Alabama romped to a 71-
Harlem Clowns
Here Next Week
Laugh Clown, Laugh!
How true when the Harlem
Clowns, those crazy cool comics
of the basketball court, come
to town to stage their hilarious
show before local fans on Wed
nesday evening, March 2, on the
senior high floor.
These mirthful magicians of
basketball have been playing be
fore jam-packed crowds along
the barnstorming circuit and
their sleight-of-hand ball hand
ing, lightning-like passes and
comical antics, have kept fans
in fits of laughter night after
night.
Play Jewelers
The Clowns will play Andy's
Jewelers, second place team of
the city league.
"These 'cats' keep me laugh
ing on the bench every night,"
says Al Pullins, veteran manag
er of the Harlem Clowns. "I've
seen them all," , says Al, "but
never basketball comics like lit
tle Shorty Buckner and Howie
Rand. They're the greatest."
This year the Clowns will play
a schedule of 140 games, seven
nights a week,, with jumps from
50 to 250 miles between games.
When the Harlem Clowns play
here, fans can expect not only
an exhibition of fancy ball hand
jing, accurate snooting, but a
tomedy show unequaled in bask
etball today.
"I believe we got the best,"
says Manager Puluns "our
boys are young, enthusiastic and
have fun playing it's really
fun to make people laugh-"

In Little Six Cage
Crater, Eagle Point, Phoenix,

will be known quantities this
week when the Little Six sub

held at Eagle Point. Henley and

are pretty much of unknown
caliber.
The tournament opens on
Thursday with the team which
collects the top trophy on Sat
urday entitled to meet Medford
high next week for the Class A
District 4 diadem.
Henley, a small A school in
Klamath county and not figur
ed big enough for competition
with Klamath Falls, had con
tented itself with conflicts with
B schools of the area this sea

five defeats.
The Hornets losses were two
each to Malin and Chiloquin and
one to Bly with which it split.
Malin won the Klamath B tour
