Hatters Nip Bears
In 74-68 Tilt
Gordy's long ranging bomb
ing set back any hopes of a
come from behind victory for
the Rebels as he kept the
Bears ahead before fouling out
late in the game. Grahman al
so fouled out, but contributed
several key rebounds along
with his points.
In the Stetson contest, the
"ears started out with the
ime zest they exhibited in
le homecoming tilt, but the
swerful Hatters got down to
jsiness and Mercer was soon
ghting for it’s life.
The powerful Hatters, who
ive a victory over nationally
nked Louisville to their
edit, employed a full court
at almost pressed the Bears
it of the Coliseum. The Stet-
m defense caused the Bears
i turn the ball over a start-
ig 28 times. After trading
ids with the Hatters several
nes in the earlygoings, the
alters blistered the nets for
22 points while holding the
Bears to a mere four. This
performance set the pace for
the Hatters as they increaaed
their lead continuously
throughout the game, getting
out front by as much as 35
points in the late stages of the
game.
The Bears won over Colum
bus although rebels hit on 50
percent of their shots, bpt lost
even though holding Stetson
to 45 per cent.
The Bears also failed to
show the balanced scoring
they exhibited against Colum
bus, with only Gordy hitting
in double figures. Gordy hit
for twenty points, but the
game was just a matter of
time as the Hatters held a
commanding lead when Gordy
got hot in the second half.
Scott was the second leading
scorer for the Bears with just
8 points.
The lost set the Bears rec
ord at 5 wins and 15 losses
