Friday, December THE DAILY IITOEPENP.ENT, MURPHYSBORO. ILLINOIS SEGTIOK GROZA THE GREAT By Alan Movtr Sport Quips By STE'V'ENSl Glancing through the record book of MTHS games to date reveals an interesting figure about the free throw shooting or the Red Devil team. As we recall, charity shooting in the past few years has been quite low, and often went below the .500 mark. In five names to date, the Red Devil team shooting average is .639, scored on 62 made and 35 missed. Individual game records arc as follows, in made and missed order: Elkville.

14-13; Chester, S-3; Sparta, 15-6: Heri'ln, 12-6; and Carbon- cla'le 13-7. The Chester game was tops in performance, representing almost an percentage score, while the Elkville game the team's opener for 194S-49 was the lowest. TOPS IN CHARITIES Also significant is the that in the last three games iiKainst Sparta, Herrin and Carbondale. team sliootitiK has been over the .730 mark. We sat at the State Tournament last year and watched Pinekney- ville win its opener by simply making almost every one of the free Virows awarded to its team.

Free throws arc particularly important around that stage of the season, for all officials bear down a bit more during the tournaments and more free throws are awarded. In the- individual race The Free Throw Trophy, VVes Goodwin is out in front with a mark mi nine made and three missed. Goodwin has missed no more than one free throw in any one game, and had perfect marks of 2-0 against Elkville and Carbondale. Wes didn't make any charities against Sparta, but missed the only one he tried. Incidentally, we haven't what minimum shot number lev require for bPing eligible for the column's trophy tfiis year, but are waiting a bit longer 'to how.
