Newspaper Page Textwqusllk Bumps Mmky F&r First tage lss 67-6, By JERRY WAGGONER Herald and News Sports Editor COOS. BAY i Special I The pro- iai ruo, cavea m on (ht Hen ley Hornets Tuesday night as the white-hot Coquille Red Devils shot the eyes out of the basket to nana the states top-ranked Hor. nets their first defeat in 24 games iu eliminate tnem from the tour ney finals 67-62. The Hornets meet the Vale Vik ings tonight at 7:30 for third place. There was little the Hornets could do with the Devils because a iirea-up team from just 18 miles south of Coos Bay hit vir tually every shot they put up, falling down, from near mid-court or under the basket The percentage chart had the Red Devils connecting on 31 of 64 shots for 48 per cent, a fabulous percentage for a high school team. The Hornets weren't cold from the field, either. They hit 28 of 65 for a pd 438 per cent, but it u as a mighty cold Hornet team in the first half. They got only 11 points in the first period to 14 for the Red Devils. The second period was the straw which broke the camel's back. The Henley quintet canned only 12 points 10 i tor uie Coquille team, and mat was the difference. GOODING STARS The Hornets outscored the Dev ils in the final two periods but couldn't make up the margin al- uiough they made a valiant at tempt. The Red Devils tore a oaec from the book of Elmira's stra tegy of Monday night when they piled two and three men back on big Kent Gooding and kept the ball from getting to him. This worked to a degree in that they held the 6-8 giant to "only" 20 points. He was the leading scor er in the game. He hit on 10 shots but got off only 19 in the contest. He also got only one iree tnrow in the game, which is the lowest total of his career at the charity line. The big Henley lad led the re. bound charge for the Hornets This is what makes the outcome of the game appear so ridicu lous. The Henley team pulled down 52 rebounds while the Red Devils had only 24. That speaks for the accuracy of the Devils' shooting game. The Hor nets were taking rebounds off the boards when the Red Devils missed, but that was not often enough as far as the Hornets were concerned. It was apparent that the pres sure of winning 23 straight games was heavy on the shoulders of the Hornets. Time and again they lost the ball on bad passes, let rebounds slip through their hands, travelled far too much and just didn't play up to their po tential in the first half. The Hor- nets got only 23 points in the first half. Levoy Young, the little 5-8 guard got llie Hornets off to a good start with a long jump shot for the first two points of the game. But that basket was to be the lone two-pointer for him dur ing the night. He hit only one of eight shots as compared to the 14 points he made Monday night HORNETS HOT The game remained on an even keel until the Red Devils took charge on a long jump shot by Leatherwood. He emulated that shot 30 seconds later to give the Devils a 14-10 lead. Earl Allbritton hit a free throw with three sec onds remaining in the period for Uie 14-11 first period score. The Hornets began the second period as though they were on their way when Allbritton swished two long set shots from the wing and Gooding tipped in an errant shot for a 17-14 Henley lead. Good ing then left the game for a brief rest and that was the turn ing point of Use game. With the big center on the bench, the Dev ils got the message and put to gether 11 straight points. Before Gooding could get back into ac tion they had a 25-17 lead, but the Red Devils were charged up to a lever pitch by that time. Gooding and Bcymcr hit three buckets between them but the Devils remained hot and hit eight points to take a 33-23 lead into the dressing rooms at the half. The packed Marshfield gymna sium was buzzing at the intermis sion that the Devils couldn't pos sibly keep up the fantastic shoot- g in the second half. They had hit on 15 of 35 in the first half or a high 429 per centage. They not onlv didn't cool off, but got hotter. The Hornets also got hotter, but the heat came too late and there wasn't enough of it. Steve Reiling connected for three points to open the third pe riod and slashed the margin to 33-26. The Devils onened ud their big guns again and hit (or seven straight points to build their lead to the biggest margin of the game W-26. Alter a brief ex change of baskets, the Hornets put on a spurt in the final min ute and 14 seconds of the pe riod to split the nets for eight traight points by Gooding. San ders and Allbritton. They trailed Dy eight points 48-40 going into tne tinal period. SEMl-STALL The Red Devils got the open ing bucket on a fall-away jump shot by Slieley but Gooding hit two baskets in a row for a 50-44 score. The Devils went into a semi-stall w ith 6:16 remaining in Die game. The Hornets, a tired group by this time, relaxed some what and the Devils matched tliem basket for basket on a bril liant display of pressure shooting trom outside to hold onto the pre cious margin. Workhorse center Ed Mctcalf kept the Devils alive with two baskets for a 58-49 lead with 4:02 left. Providence, Marquette Advance To Semifinals In National Tourney By DICK JOYCE I'PI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPIi-Ray Flynn. a protege of former pro star Bill Sharman, has advanced Provi dence College into the semifinals of the National Invitation Basket ball Tournament against Mar quette and bolstered the Friars' chances of winning the classic for the second time in three years.

"I don't think Red Auerbach (Cel tics' coach) even knew who I was. But Sharman pertected my shooting and told me my mis takes. Since I'm not so tall he showed me how to get those quick shots off. "It also took a lot of hard work," he added. Jim Stone scored 26 points and grabbed 12 rebounds while Jim Thompson had 17 points and Bob Kovalski added 14 for the free wheeling Friars from Rhode Is land. Glascr Scores 23 Ron Glascr, who shot 7 of 10 from the field in the first half, finished with 23 points in pacing Eddie Hickey's Marquette team to victory.

Bob Hoinak scored 20 points and Dick Nixon tallied 18 to help the Marquette attack.

That could be the case for the Henley Hornets today af ter they suffered their first loss of the season here Tuesday night in the State A-2 tournament to a red-hot Coquille team, 67-62. The Hornets may be seeing the red clad Red Devils shooting their long and accurate outside shots in their dreams for a long time to come. In their dreams, as well us in reality, they will be able to do nothing about it. The Red Devils had destiny on their side and the breaks Tuesday night in handing Henley its first loss in 24 games this season. Old woman fate stepped in and lent a helping hand to tho Co quille crew. They could do noth ing wrong as they fired the ball up from all angles, and distances And all the Hornets could do was watch them swish through tho hoops. Coquille hit 3 1 of 64 shots from the field to lie Uie tournament record for field goals made in one game. The old record is 31 by Madras against Sherwood in 1061. The game was one which seemed pre-destincd for Coquille to win. Most of their shots were made from outside the key on long jump shots. Very few of the Devils baskets were from under tho basket. Their long shots seemed guided by radar as the Devils hit time after time from great distances when it appeared uicy didn t have a chance of hit ting. We still didn't play such a good game," Henley coach Jerry Johnson said. "But what can you do against shooting like that," he asked. "We played a good second half, but just couldn't stop that outside shooting." Little Levoy Young had to be rested near the end of the game because he had run so much trying to stop the outside offer ings of Coquille. As proof of tho accuracy. Co quille got only 24 rebounds in the game to 52 for Henley, which is amazing considering that the Red Devils won with only 24 rebounds. only one short of the tournament record of 23 by Newport in 1959. Big Kent Gooding pulled down 23 rebounds in the game to fall only two short of the single game record of 25 by Larry Rasmussen ot Seaside in 1961. Ho leads all rebounders in the tournament with 41 and needs 19 tonight against a short but scrappy Vale team to tie the record of 60 by Uasmussen and 20 to get a new tournament record. Gooding, despite having three men covering him like a blanket for the second time in as many nights set a new tournament rec ord for rebound percentage. Ho got 23 of the teams 52 rebounds for .442 per cent. That shattered the old record of 18 of 51 for 354 per cent by Joe Piedmont in 1961 all to pieces. It was a heartbreaking loss for the Hornets and they made a gal lant comeback attempt in the last half. The loss was by far the big upset of the tournament. Most experts in the press room admit ted after the game that Henley would down the Red Devils nine out of 10 times. 'Jeep'drives ahead with two NEW HISTORY MAKERS!
