Island Hoop

Father MoGui.gan's Saint Dun.

stan'a University Oopsters zegm. ered in close 48- victory over Earl Nicholson's Prince of Wales I College Welshmen last night to .- send the Island Physical Fitness basketball championship finals into 1 a deadlock to force the series into a. third and deciding game. , Pl-Eyed over the P. W. C. audi- ' torium floor before a crowd of some 200 or more excited fans, it was I sparkling display of clever hoop action every inch of the way that saw both teams pace one another basket for basket with . only the last few minutes of play , finally deciding the issue in favor of Saints.

The serieu is now tied at one

3 game each, P. W. C. having won the series opener last Saturday night by a 61-45 count. The third and deciding game will be play-

: ed either Thursday afternoon or

' evening.

Reardon Wu Star

Displaying almost perfect ac-

' curacy with long, looping hook shots. Jack Reardon was the star vof the game when he came up with a terrific performance to sink home 28 points of his team's full total and continually scored the important shots that took his ciufb out of hot water under the pressure of smooth - working Wdlshmen attacks.

Red thatched Bill I-line per- fonmed brilliantly for P. W. C. when he racked up a. total of 18 points, mostly on well-executed lay-up shots. Other leading pointi- getters were Ian Ashfard and Jack MoAn-drew of P. W. C. with eight points each. while Pete Dunphy and Bill Ready of Saints potted live each. -

Saints finished the first half with a 23-18 advantage. but only after both cluibs had battled furl- ously all through the frame that waged back and forth at a roar- ing pace, with first one team and "then the other holding the ad- iaritage on points. and in almost all instances by narrow one and two point margins. Only once each during the friune did one or the other hold more than a four- point advantage until the final minutes when Saints stretched and held their lead to five and held it at half time.

The second half was almost a repetition of the first, with both teams playing it close to the vest for the first few minutes that saw Sains increase their lead by one point at the three minute mark with a score of 27-21. only to loose ground by the time the five min- ute mark was reached to cling fen-aciously to their point margin built up in the first frame. Scor- ing on two free losses and then following it up with two quick baskets, Hine put Welshmen right back in the running to make the score read 25-32 at the 7:30 mark, Reardon and Diane Kennedy ac- counting for baskets for Saints to make that count. Ready put the Saints lead to four points a few seconds later, but Jack M.cAridrew dunked a nice hook shot to pull within two points of Saints, with Ian Ashford coming through with a nice side-basket. shot at the 9:30 mark to deadlock the count at 33-all. p

At the 11 minute mark Bill McAndrew sent the Welshman in front for the first time in the half with a smart field shot, but Reardon deadlocked the count again with one of his famous om- armed specials. Clarence Mac- Donald sent the Saints up two again with a well-placed shot. but once again Bill McAndrew brought P. W. C. abreast agln at 37-37 with raven and a half min- utes left.

Final splurge

From there on it was a torrid battle that saw the Saints manage to hold one and two point advant- ages until the three-quarter mark when they put on a final splurge led by Reardon that put the game in the bag.

Ever on the move. the elusive, lharp-shooting Reardon came up with three baskets and I. free toss in the final minutes. which. aid- ed by a neat basket by Ready. overshadowed some nice work by

Local hoop followers are getting more than their fill of smart action of late and there is still more to come, Engaged in what is considered one of the beat and most keenly contested Island hoop finals in a good ,many years, the

Saint Dunstan's University and Prince of Wales College hoopmen are really giving the basketball go- ing public plenty for their money and interest. Prior to the start of the finals, it was predicted by many that it would be a close, hot series, and so far the series has more than lived up to that prediction.

. . .

overshadowing the opening game of the series on Saturday for per- formance. which the Welshman took over Saints by a liberal 61-45 mar- gins, the second match here at. the P. W. C. auditorium last night was a whale of a contest for anybody's liking. Driving back hard after their initial defeat, the Saints made a great comeback last night to dead- lock the series into a game each and force the issue to a third and deciding game to be played on Thursday. It was a torrid battle from start to finish. Both teams displayed a wealth of smart ball- handling and clever, accurate shoot- ing.

0 O I

It was Father McGuigan's red and white warriors who showed the final punch that brought them out on the long end of a close battle than ended 48-41 and was either team's contest right up until the final few minutes of the game. It was during that last five minutes or so that Saints took control of the play to earth their slim margin of victory. They only held a five- point. edge at the end of the first half, and midway in the second lost that advantage to go under by two points for a brief space of time before regaining the lead again.

0 U 0

On the night's performance, the Earl Nicholson-coached Welshmen. exhibited probably a slightly smoother style of passing and close- in attack than their Saints rivals. but there was one big factor on the Saints offensive that the City scholars seemed unable to cope with, and was wrapped up in the person of tangy forward Jack Rear- don. Putting on a. display of amaz- ing shootlng ability, particularly at long range, the shitty Saints sharpshooter was dumping in basket: from all angles to rack up the huge individual points total of 28 on the night's play.

Effectively employing two-hand- ed, long, looping shots and an ex- pert one-handed hook shot at either close or long range. the speedy Saints forward was almost impos- sible to cover. and time and again banged home the baskets that counted most for his team at crit- ical points throughout the con- test. A one-man team in himself, Reardon garnered his total from 13 field goals and two free tosses.

Husky Bill I-line was also a stand- out on individual scoring during the fast, close battle, to lead the P. W. C. quintet in their losing cause. The carrot-t ” basketeer plled up a total of I8 points. mostly on smart lty-up shots and the rest on long-range shooting. Bill garn- ered seven field goals and led the field on foul shots. potting four out of alx attempts.

But the contest waranything but an individual despite the high scoring of Reardon and nine. Both teams worked out smart plays on well-balanced teamwork to en- gineer most of the scoring efforts and gave some 200 or moreiapectm tors in really classy evening of ex- citing entertainment. The final game on Thursday should be a must on the entertainment list of hoop followers who like their bas- ketball clean. fast and action-pooh ed all the way. In last night's game Saints chalked up 17 foul: and P. W. 0. M, with nobody on either club fouling out.
