Biggest surprise
.By HAROLD GANN
A spirited Lon Morris cage quin
tet ended Tyler’s alarming string
of victofies
Saturday night Tyler
by taking a thrilling 73-71 victory
from the favored Apaches before
2,700 persons in DeWare Field
House to complete the final round
of the third state-wide junior bas
ketball tourney.
It was the most thrilling of the
69 games staged in DeWare Field
House throughout the tournament’s
three-year span. The lead changed
hands 14 times and was knotted
on only five occasions.
Jack Henderson, who led the
Bearcats ilrith 19 points in the
semT-finals, gave his team the vic
tory when the 5’ 9’’ forward sank
a lO-fodter with 45 seconds re
maining in the spine-tingling’ tilt.
Beartqts to Nationals
Lon Morris, which is now seek
ing national honors, Was bpbirid
69-71 witfr A-rntnute and 30 seconds
Henderson's goal that ruined Ty
ler's chances of taking its second’
straight College Station tourna
ment. ,1 , j
It was la remarkable win for
Lon Morris, a team that didn’t
boast a man over 6’2” pitted
against a irangy crew of terrific
tallsters and game-savvy guards.
, Henderson grabbed 22 points to
reign as ; high-point man. Royce
Ray, 6’5”; Apache forward, made
19, and Kite teammate, hook-shot
specialist O’Neal Weaver (6’5”)
collected 18 along with Tommy
Hancock, 5’ 7”' Indian guard.
Ahead Most of Way
Alberto Renta, little Bearcat
guard, vyaji one of the stars as he
cracked sijx field goals—most of
them coming from outside the key
hole—and five free shots to gar
ner 17.
Lon Morris surprisingly jumped
to an early lead and wat passed
only once during the first half,
