Pretzels overcame a 14-point Taylor Scores icit Friday night to defeat East Aurora 4.9-48, at the Freeport High School gym.

Entering the fourth quarter, East held a 45-32 lead, which Freeport erased with a 17-point scoring effort in the final eight minutes while Tomcats to three holding the points. The victory evened Freeport's over-all record at nine wins and nine losses while East is one under the .500 mark with a 9-10 record. In Big Eight Conference competition, the Pretzels have now won four and nine compared to East's two and nine. Outplayed Throughout the first three quarters Friday night, the Pretzels were outplayed by a considerable margin. The hustling Tomcats, bent on breaking a five game conference losing streak, had control of both boards and at the same time cashed in on their opportunities from the field.

East led 16-13 at the end of the first quarter and 29-22 at the half. Midway through the third stanza, East twice held 14-point margins, which was whittled to 45-32 at the conclusion of the third. It seemed apparent that the Pretzels were doomed to their fifth successive Big Eight loss. Jerry Hickman and Jon Novak opened the fourth with field goals to reduce the score to 45-36. Center Grant Pritchert tallied a free throw to boost the East lead to 10 points.

East then started to play slow, cautious basketball figuring on consuming the rest of the time. Still Large The East lead still seemed healthy enough to survive what ever Freeport had to offer in the final five minutes. However, the transformation was about to begin. The tenacious Novak, who led Freeport with 19 points, tallied two successive goals to put Freeport six behind with 4:30 remaining. Ron Richter hit a free throw at 3:30 followed by Gather Taylor's goal at the three-minute point to reduce the deficit to 46-43.

Retaining their inspired play, the Pretzels once again stopped the next East offensive thrust and roared back toward the East basket, which was successfully reached at the 2:02 mark when Richter netted another basket. Pretzels Lead The Pretzels fans yelled their approval 32 seconds later when Novak put Freeport on top for the Taylor eventually got his hands on the ball near the East free throw line from where he advanced one step, jumped and swished the decisive basket with 15 seconds to go.

Before the cheering has stopped over Basilio's rousing victory in the "rubbet- 1 match with the two- time ex-champion, he was on his way up a notch in class. Harry Markson, managing director of the International Boxing Club, settled it when he said, "We want to match Basilio in July in Yankee Stadium against the winner of the Fullmer Robinson fight in Chicago April 24." Fullmer took the middleweigh crown from Robinson in January and the April date is a.

Determined Determined once and for all to prove his superiority over Saxton in their third match, Basilio stormed out from the opening bell and hit the challenger with all he Itad. Saxton took a terrific beating. Saxton said he was a little surprised at the speed of the champ's attack, although he expected Basilio to try to "get rid of me early." The challenger said he had planned to pick up the tempo as he went along. Basilio said Saxton tried to hit and run, "but when I caught him with that left in the first round he tried to stay close and hang on." "I could see it in his eyes then that he wasn't going to last," Basi- Roger Uhe, Lena's chief offen- weapon, was held to five points due to the fine defense of Orangemen.

Coach Joe Spudich's unpredictable Pretzelettes set the stage for an exciting evening of basketball Friday's sophomore game with East Aurora by overcoming a 14- point deficit to nip East, 68-67. Midway in the third quarter, the Tomkits enjoyed a commanding 57-43 lead. By the end of the quarter, the Pretzelettes had reduced the margin to 57-50. But East went on top again by 10 points early in the final period with ihree successive free throws.

The Tomkits still led, 65-60, with approximately one minute left in the game. Jerry Renner's two free throws apparently clinched the victory for East moments later. Good Timing But, with 40 seconds left and be- lind by seven points, the surging Pretzelettes made their move. Two quick field, goals by Don Miller and Jerry Rehfeldt left Freeport down by only three points. Norm Neuges, who started nis first game of the season Friday, took over the hero's role scoring a basket with "about 10 seconds left and quickly following this with another goal with two second left, which won the game.

Time ran out before East could get off a shot at the Freeport basket. Freeport was aided immensely in this contest by scoring strength from unexpected quarters.
