Tigers Bow To Albany State Rams
by Rodny Pulliam
Sports Editor
Morehouse Tigers — led by
Adam Troy’s 20 points — could
not offset the outstanding per
formances of Lamar Harris and
Clifford Walton, as the Albany
State Rams defeated Morehouse
78-76 before a - partisan - Tiger
crowd at the John Lewis Gym-
nasiu, in the initial session of the
SIAC Tourney. It was Albany
State's Leonard Wright who
threw up a 12-foot jumper with
two seconds remaining, which
sealed the Tiger's fate.
In the first half, Albany State’s
offense jumped out to a quick
12-8 lead, caused by early Tiger
miscues. Morehouse also was
devastated by the rebounding of
Clifford Walton — the Rams 6-10
center, second in the conference
in rebounding with a 9.7 average
— who proved his “chair
manship” on the boards. Walton
also blocked seven Tiger shots.
In thesecond half,Morehouse
gained its lead 51-45 behind
the aggressive play and outstan
ding rebounding of Eric Taylor
and Troy Kelley.
With 3:19 remaining,
Morehouse still led 75-70, but
the Tigers demise was soon
approaching. Albany State
The Rodney Report
Around The League
The Albany State Rams, who
led the SIAC with a 9-2 con
ference record, were charged
with an ineligible player, Lamar
Harris. It is reported that Harris, a
transfer student, did not sit out
enough time before competing
again. This railing causedAlbany
State to forfeit all conference
games, thus placing them in last
place when the Rams traveled to
Atlanta for the SIAC Tourna
ment. It was also stated that the
winner of the SIAC tournament
could not 1 -'further advance in
Division II play. Albany State
currently has filed
countercharges debating this
latter question.
The Rams, however, have an
excellent squad. Albany State
ranks third in the conference in
team offense while yielding 78.1
points per game on defense. In
Senior Captain Ralph Wilson and
Clifford Walton, the Rams
possess excellent leadership and
a super “shot - blocker.” Albany
State looks impressive under the
direction of Coach Oliver Jones.
Fort Valley State College has
been designated as the site for
the Fourth Annual SIAC
Women’s Basketball tournament
at the Georgia Woodward Gym
nasium.
Writer’s Note: The Albany
State decision was reversed on
last Thursday, thus, granting
them an opportunity to par
ticipate in the tournament. The
Rams played the Maroon Tigers
in the first round. See above
