Eagle Point entered semi-final

Henley had an easy time with
Illinois Valley, winning 46 to

Pirates Catch Up
Keeping most of the Pirates
firing at long range, Eagle Point
headed most of the way over
Phoenix last night. But the
Pirates rallied to catch up and
the Eagles, after dashing into
the lead once more, stalled out
the last three minutes of the
fracas to claim the victory.
Henley ran into a Cougar
quintet which didn't warm up
until well into the third quarter,
In the meantime the Hornets
had established a substantial
lead and were not seriously trou
bled once the Illinois Valley
gang did get hitting. Illinois
Valley was so cold that it went
almost 12 minutes of the first
half without scoring.
Eagle Point went in front of
Phoenix 4 to 2 on Carl Chris
tian's side shot three minutes
into the game. The fast breaking
Eagles gained 15 to 9 advantage
over the Pirates in the first
quarter. They held various leads
of three to seven points until
the early fourth period. Their
spread was 29 to 24 at halftime
and 39 to 34 after three chuk
, kers.
Greb Widens Gap
A long shot by Jim Korth for
Phoenix and one from the side
by Charlie Wall cut the Eagle
edge to 39 to 39 by 2V& minutes
into the last stanza. Frank j
-Reich got a free shot for Eagle)
Point but Korth hit another
longie to tie up the mix at 40-all
with 2Vz minutes played. Harvey
Nelson got a drive-in bucket for
Eagle Point and Ron Vreeken
a free shot for the Pirates. Jackie
5 Greb of EP sank a jumper from
the key and a shot from the side
for a 46 to 41 count with three
minutes to play.
After a time out Eagle Toint
began its control tactics and
Greb picked up a pair of free
shots with seconds to go.

I do much of their damage in
close, shot fewer times but made
more buckets than the Pirates.
At the same time the EP de
fense gave Phoenix little chance
to shoot in close. Forced to try
for points from long range, the
Pirates couldn't find the mark
consistently until the final half.
Eagle Point, itself, missed a good
number of shots in the second
half. The Eagles cashed in on
17 out of 46 from the field and
14 out of 24 from the gift stripe.
Phoenix figures were 15 for 51
and 11 for 18.
Ron Bean Sick
The deliberate offensive Pi
rates had lopsided rebounding
edge of 28 to 12 in the first half
but couldn't employ the advan
tage effectively. EP outboarded
Phoenix 18 to 12 in the second
half.
Phoenix was without the serv
ices of x part-time regular Ron
Bean, who was sick.
Neither team was spectacular
in the Henley-IV mix. More ag
gressiveness and tighter defense
won for the Hornets and the
ballhawking and . shooting of
Dale Searcy he got 19 points
did' stand out. Henley, also
missed a lot of shots but the
Cougars, who did most of their

at the four minute mark of the
first quarter gave Illinois Valley
its only lead at 6 to 5 but the
Cougars didn't flick the hemp
again until Jim Smith's mid-
range goal with, five seconds
left in the half. Henley had pe

" The Klamath county quint had

the final quarter and the perked
up Cougars cut their deficit to

Heavy use of reserves by
Coach Wes Peters, who wasn't
satisfied with his regulars, prob
ably had something to do with

Puff Peace Pipe
Philadelphia (U.R) Commis
sioner Bert Bell of the National
Football League said today the
trail-blazing Washington-Calgary
"no raiding" agreement points
to peace in the gold war be
tween the NFL and the Canadian
Fotball League.
"It is a fine step in the right
director," said Bell, who indi
cated the peace-pipe puffs taken
by the Redskins and the Stam
peders will lead to other hands
across the border pacts.
Hopes For Rush
Bell said he hoped there
would be a rush of agreements
between teams in both the NFL
and CFL leagues on an indi
vidual basis "so there will be no
more trying to persuade a boy to
break his moral word and legal
contract."
A sidelight of the "armistice"
between the Redskins and the
Stampeders was Washington's
calling off a $50,000 damage suit
filed last week against Jack
Hennemier, Calgary coach and
former Maryland line coach,
who had signed Redskin lineman
Dick Modzelewski and Bob Mor
gan to Canadian contracts.

The game, played before more
than 5,000 wildly partisan fans,
was tied at 36-36 at halftime, and
was tied again ' at 55-55 with
only two minutes left of play.
