field goals for Morehouse. Clark counted twice from the floor and
Capt. Taylor rang up his first field goal of the evening. Three more
Bailey free tosses piled up the Morehouse total to 13 points. With
Wilberforce held to a single field basket and three foul-line shots, the
half ended with Wilberforce a five-point trailer.
Archer’s brace of field goals opened the second half. Taylor ad
ded three foul shots and a successful toss from the field before his
fourth personal foul was called. Clark was forced out of the game
on fouls and Wilberforce got its scoring machine under way. Capt.
Lewis piled up four field goals- Ward made good on three chances
from the foul line and Harding added a pair of free tosses to a pair
of field goals. With shots raining at the baskets, confusion in the
scoring caused a rush for the exits when the score was announced at
the ending of the second half as Morehouse^ 25; Wilberforce, 24. With
the correct figures proving a tie-up, the extra period was started.
Ward accounted for two field baskets and a foul shot, while Huff
took on a field goal to swell the Wilberforce count. Morehouse had
to content herself with a Sapp foul shot and a pair of free tosses by
Sykes.
