Gooding Hits 24
In 71-46 Triumph
. By JERKY MAGGONtR
Herald and News Sporti Editor
The high-powered Henley Hor
nets displayed their Class A-2 top
ranked form in the Southern Ore
gon Coliege gym Friday night
when they slaughtered the scrap
py Douglas Trojans 71-46 in the
first round of the district 6-A-2
basketball tournament.
The Hornets met Eagle Point
in he final Saturday night with
the winner gaining the state tour
nament berth March 18-19-20 at
Coos Bay.
The slate's top ranked Hornets
showed the poise which has helped
tliom through 20. straight victor
ies this season. They needed
thai poise Saturday night against
the Eagles.
The Eagles downed Umpqua
League champion Myrtle Creek
in a lacklustre game 49-42.
It was a case of too much of ev
erything Friday night. The Hor
nets pulled down an amazing 74
rebounds to only 36 for the losers.
Henley fired 72 limes and con
nected on 27 of those attempts for
a .375 mark.
The Trojans could hit on only
17 of 75 shots for a .226 per cent.
The score could have climbed
much higher than it did. Coach
Jerry Johnson had subsitutcs in
the game during the second quar
ter, subbed a few at a time In
the third, and played them entire
ly during the fourth period. The
Hornets were again led by the gi
ant 6-8 Kent Gooding.
The sure-fire All-State center
canned 24 points during his stint
in the game, and pulled down 2:1
rebounds, but he also turned feed
er and passed to Earl Allbritton in
the third period when the Henley
forward got most of his 19 points,
When the defense sagged on
Gooding, he fed Allbritton all
alone under the basket.
'Gooding played about half of the
game. He came out in the early
moments of the second period
with a pain in his side after scor
ing eight points in the first period
He and Allbritton were the only
two Hornets in double figures.
Mike Beymer hit eight points and
Steve Renin and Tom Sanders
had six each.
There was only one bright spot
' for the Trojans. That came in
the person of guard Archie Walker
who repeatedly pierced the Hor
net defenses with his radar-guided
jump shot from the lop of the
key for 22 points, almost half the
Trojans total.
The Trojans kepi sending one
guard off the post, pulling the
Henley defender out of position
and leaving Walker open for the
jumper, and he was deadly.
The game was never even
tied. The Hornets had it all the
way after Beymer sent Ihem off
and winging on a pair of free
throws and a basket, all in the
first 20 seconds of Uie game.
With Walker hitting well in the
opening quarter, the Trojans
were still in the g a m e as the
quarter came to a close with
Henley leading by eight points at
19-11.
The second period was much
State Gets
Go-Ahead
On Tourney
JACKSON (UPI) - Seventh
ranked Mississippi State was given
the go-ahead Saturday to partici
pate In the NCAA basketball
tournament alter a hot controversy
over the tram competing against
Negro players.
The slate College Board, which
governs all state-supported schools
voted 83 to abandon the stale's
long-standing policy ef prohibiting
participation against teams with
Negro athletes.
The Bulldogs. Southeastern Con
Terence champion and winner o(
21 of 26 games this season, w ill
enter. the NCAA regional playoff
at F,ast Lansing. Mich., March
15. It was considered likely the
Mississippi team would meet
Loyola, a team with (our Negroes
in its starling lineup, as its first
opponent.
The- action upheld Slate Presi
dent D. W. Colvaid's division last
week to send the team unless
vetoed by "competent authority"
and apparently went against the
wishes of Mississippi's staunch
segregationist, Gov. Boss Burnett
Some members of the Legisla
tine threatened lo rut Uie uni
versity's appropriation if the Bull
dogs disregarded tlie "unwritten
law" agauist playing teams with
Negro players.
SEC runnerup Georgia Tech
would have represented the con
ference in tlie plavotfs if the
board had reversed Colvaid's de
cision lo send Coach Babe Mc
Carthy's Bulldogs to East Lan-i

tlie same as the first with Good
ing slipping five points through
the net before leaving with a pain
in his side.
Boiling made all of his six
points in that period to help car
ry Uie load. The Hornets had the
game well in hand at the halftime
intermission with a 36-22 lead.
Henley had its finest period fn
the third stanza, scoring 20 points
to take a 56-32 lead into the final
quarter. Gooding had his long
hook shot in fine form as he
pumped in 11 points in that period
That was also the frame when All
britton got so hot with the help
of Gooding's passes under the
bucket.
The subs took complete charge
in the fourth and didn't score too
much, but their defense was good
enough to keep the Trojans from
scoring too many, and the Douglas
crew by this time was desperate
and taking shots from virtually
any point on their end of the court.
The Hornet reserves were doing a
fine job of rebounding with Ellon
Schiro, Terry Bcilby and Sanders
leading the way.
It wasn t an exciting game, hut
tlie many fans expressed their en
joyment on the fine shooting and
rebounding of the Hornets, and
there were plenty of fans.
The SOC gym was packed lo
overflowing with the inbound
marker lined with spectators both
standing and sitting.
Coach Jerry Johnson was ex
trcmcly happy with his charges
and just had hopes that they could
conUnue to play as well.

Merrill, Paisley Victorious
In B-District Cage Playoffs
By DICK BRIGGS
An Inspired Paisley team, pre
dicted to finish no better than
third in the district 5-B tourna
ment, brushed off another of the
pre-tourney favorites Friday by
overcoming a seven-point delicit
in the uast six minutes of the fin
al quarter to dispose of Chilo
quin, 59-51, on the OTI hardcourts.
The second upset in as m a n y
nights for the Paisley Broncos
moved them into the final round
of the tournament against Mer
rill, which easily waylaid Bo
nanza, 48-37, in another semifinal
game.
Paisley, 55-46 upset victor over
Gilchrist in a quarterfinal game,
became the Cinderella team of
the tourney after overcoming the
pressure applied by a persever
ing Chiloquin team and the senti
ments of a local crowd.
The alert and spunky Lake
County squad, representing a high
school of less than 50 students,
captured the favor of a host of
neutral fans as it battled the
highly touted Panthers on even
terms most of the evening; before
the selto had ended, some of the
fans who had come to cheer for
Chiloquin redirected their allegi
ance to the Broncos.
The contest gave indications of
becoming a thriller after the open
ing tip-off when the Broncos
scored first and stayed ahead until
they relinquished the lead, 9-8,
with two minutes left in the open
ing period.
The winners went ahead at the
end of the first rest period, 16-12,
on field goals by Dell Swearingcn,
guard; Dave Brattain, forward,
and two charity throws by Dick
Bradbury, forward, all tallied
within the final minutes of the
quarter.
Chiloquin tied the count al half-
time, 26-20, and fell one point be
hind at the next rest period, 41-40.
During the 32 minutes of action.
Ihe score was either tied or the
lead changed hands a total of 24
times.
The teams exchanged the lead

the Panthers Greg Harris, for

teammate, Don Taylor, guard.
adding seven more. During the
two periods, the Broncos were
paced by Swearingcn, with nine
points, and Bradbury, who hit for
seven.
Tlie Broncs' Brallain, who nest
ed 16 markers in the final half,
was the game's high point man
with 21, followed by his team
mate. Bradbury, and the Panth
ers' Taylor, each with 19.
After trailing 16-12 in tlie first
quarter, the Panthers begad slow

adding two more.
In the outset of tlie fourth pe
riod, Taylor tanked six ot nine
Panther tallies to push his team

Within a minute Bradbury

Emery, center, added a charity
toss lo knot the count at 49-49.
Moments later Bradbury, stand
ing under the Chiloquin basket,
took the ball away from a Pan

an easy layln. The Panther mis-
cue put Paisley ahead, 51-49, and
the visitors stayed in control dur
