Oriole That "killer instinct" that has been so slow developing for the Virginia Squires may finally have surfaced Saturday night for the leaders of the Eastern Division in the American Basketball Association. Before the largest crowd (4,167) yet to watch them perform in Hampton Roads Coliseum, Coach Al Bianchi's frittered away two fat leads in the first half but pulled away strongly in the last two quarters to soundly trounce the Florid-ians, 119-97. Florida, of course, missed the marksmanship of Mack Calvin, who was benched with a sprained ankle suffered Friday night, so the offensive-defensive balance of the Squires was too much to cope with for the visitors. The cagers from the Sunshine State jumped ahead 6-0 in the first couple of minutes, but the Virginians hit an eight-point spree to grab the advantage and never again trailed after being tied up at 8-all. Florida trimmed the Squires' lead to five at 32-27 shortly after the second quarter opened and again at 53-48 before intermission but they never got closer once second-half action started.

It marked the end of the game's scoring and was a fitting climax to a game which was billed an ofensive battle and succeeded in fulfilling every meaning of the term.

The Indians scored first, but the bad snap on the extra point try led to the Indians' being out on the short end of the scoreboard when Davidson scored its first touchdown and extra point. The Tribe was behind from then Geiger. The offensive statistics reflect how evenly the two clubs battled. The Indians had 391 total yards while the Wildcats had 396. The rushing and passing yardage for both teams showed balanced attacks although Steven Regan, the William and Mary quarterback, continued to prove that he isn't as bad as some people say he is by passing for 258 yards.
