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

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.
"This is a better team than our
team that won the NIT in 1961,'
said the 6-2, 180-pound Flynn, who
scored 38 points in second-seeded
Providence's 106-96 victory over
Miami of Florida Tuesday night.
"We're better this year,"
chimed in little Vinnie Ernst, who
contributed 11 assists. "We're bet

everything.
Marquette Routs St. Louis
Third-seeded Marquette shot 51

Villanova takes on Canisius in the
other semifinal. '
"I used to watch Bill Sharman
all the time as a ball boy with
the fioston Celtics," Flynn said.
"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

to victory. He connected on 11 of
15 field goal attempts all told
"This club is equal to any team

Hickcv. who, ironically, led St

Sidelights From
Coos Bay Tourney
By JERRY WAGGONER
Herald and News Sports Editor
COOS BAY (Specinl)-"It only
hurts for a little while," the old
song says. 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.
