Game of the Week
Basketball finals begin
By RAY WOTTRICH
The Dunlaps defeated Dunn
49-31 in an interdivisional IM bas
ketball playoff several weeks ago.
The Dunlaps is an impressive team,
especially when one considers the
fact that it is made up of graduate
students and faculty members to
compete in the Recreation Divi
sion. The team can keep up with
teams made up of students and draw
on their experience to win the big
game.
In the first half, Dunn tried to
outrun their opponents. They also
tested the Dunlaps shooting ability
by playing a sagging zone defense.
The Dunlaps took advantage of this
by playing a slow and deliberate of
fense to look for the good shots.
They also got many steals by playing
a strong, harassing man-to-man de
fense. With 11 minutes left in the
first half, they had mounted a 14-6
lead which they never lost. Malcom
Richards, the leading scorer and re
bounder for the Dunlaps, scored 8
points in the first half. Ken Jones
and Don Deeile both scored 4
points in the first half for Dunn. The
Dunlaps went on to a 22-12 halftime
lead.
In the second half, Malcom
Richards scored time after time on
lob passes. Then, with 13 minutes
left in the game and Dunn behind
12-34, Dunn went into a man-to
man defense to stop Malcom’s scor
ing spree and to pressure the Dun
laps into turnovers. Don Deeile led
the Dunn team in the second half
and did most of Dunn’s scoring.
However, the Dunlaps went on to
win, 49-31. The Dunlaps leading

scorers were Malcom Richards, Jim
Benjamin, and Jim Flagg. They
scored, respectively, 16, 10, and 7
points. Don Deeile lead scoring for
Dunn with 12 points. Ken Jones
scored 8 points for Dunn.
In other competition, N-2 de
feated Sq-5 46-32 in a big run and
gun shootout. N-2 is now the
champion of the military IM com
petition. Both teams played a very
physical man-to-man defense.
In the first half, N-2 played good
defense. Mike Tucker was their
leading rebounder. Lindsay Sneedl
and Dan Welsh lead scoring with 8l
points each. For Sq-5, Ronniel
Maddox lead the rebounding. Thel
team had cold outside shooting and!
committed numerous turnovers. At|
halftime, N-2 led 25 to 14.
In the second half, Keith Wilcoxl
led Sq-5 in a try for a comeback. Ini
fact, Sq-5 pulled to within eight!
points of N-2 with six minutes left ini
the game. Ronnie Maddox lead Sq-5|
scoring with 6 points. Mike Fontenol
came on for N-2 and scored 7 points. [
