Scores Double Win

Itta Bena, Miss. - Mississippi
Vocational College Cage Team
wrapped up a double win here this
week by walloping Arkansas Bap-
list of Little Rock 94-64 and later
defeating an aggressive five of Mis-
sissippi Industrial College Bits.
The Arkansas game saw the lead
change several times, however, the
much more powerful Devils pulled
away at the beginning of the final
quarter and never again relinquish-
ed the lead. John Zip" Evans,
who is presently high point man
for the season along with his team
mates, Wardell Cross and Rudy
Battle giving aided assistance,
lead the Devils in scoring.
On Tuesday evening the Devils
met the Tigers of Mississippi In
dustrial College who seem bent on
revenge to even the score of the
shellacking MVC gave them during
football season. From the opening
whistle to the final one the score
seesawed back and forth with the
lead changing hands at least a
dozen times. The Devils during
the game at one time were able
to muster up ten point lead, but
it was short lived as MIS- team
came back to tie the score. A re-
markable performance of jumping
skill was displayed by Charles Dali
ton, a bashful lad from Gallatin,
Tennessee who controls both back
boards over his much taller oppon-
ents. Although, this boy Dalton
did not register a high score OF
points, his grace and ease on the
blackboard gave his teammates the
inspiration to out fight and out
play their much taller and freely
substituted opponents. John Tip"
Evans, scored % points for MVC
while Harry Law, registered II
for MI. The final score as the
game ended was 67-67, but could
have been 69-67 when MI missed
golden opportunity to score when
one of its players missed a lay-up
as the final buzzer sounded. The
game then went into an overtime
period of five minutes.
