With nine seconds left, Frazier and Clay went diving about on the floor for a loose ball and a jump was called. Tech won the tip and called time eat.

Frazier took the ball out, passed Stevens in the backcourt. He hit Lieder about 15 feet from the i basket on the right side. The 6-5 junior went up with one second u.f showing on the clock. "I didnt think it was going in," said Lieder. looked short." It may have looked short and the Irish may hoped it was short but the ball somehow found its way into the net and the game was knotted at 79-79 and going into overtime.

The overtime belonged to Stevens. The transfer from Ferrum. Junior College brought the Gobblers back twice, the first time on, a high, arcing one-hander to make it 87-85 and the second on big three-point play that cut the deficit to 91-90 with -40 seconds left. "Did I feel the he asked, repeating a question: "Heck, I don't know what it is. In high school and at Ferrum, -I :3 always came in second place." And with Gary Brokaw standing on the foul line, with 18 seconds left, it looked like Stevens would keep his record perfect' But Brokshaw missed, Bristow rebounded and Stevens made the big one.

Frank Merriwell would have loved it. and Notre Dame coach Digger Phelps called a time- out to break Tech's momentum. It didn't help. Bristow, fought his way in underneath to tap in his own missed shot, Stevens stuck a corner jumper, Frazer drove the baseline. Bristow muscled in a layup and the Gobblers were within one.

74-73. But the best was yet to come. With Notre Dame leading, 78-77, and 32 seconds remaining, Bristow fouled Notre Dame's smooth-shooting guard, Gary Brokaw. It was Brokaw who had kept the Irish from crumbling by hitting a bundle down the stretch and now he cooly made both ends of one-and-one situation. But not so fast.

Referee Hal Grossman had ruled that Notre Dame's 6-7 forward, Pete Crotty, had stepped in the lane too soon. Which meant Brokaw's seecond free throw didn't count. "I didn't think I moved," said a disconsolate Crotty later. "I did the same thing I'd been doing all game." foolr, they had the tournament's MVP. More importantly, they had charged back yesterday from a 38-23 deficit in the first half to take a seemingly secure 70-53 lead with 6:10 remaining.

Bristow Wasn't Worried But Virginia Tech was not impressed. "There was never any question In my mnd that we were gong to pull it out, said Tech's brilliant 6-7 forward Allan Bristow. "I was just worried that the lead would reach 15." Grittily. the Gobblers started to whittle the margin down. Craig Lieder, who scored 20 half-time points to keep the Gobblers in the ballgame, hit a layup.

Frazier scored a three-point play, and Stevens dropped a short jumper. Now it was 70-65 5 -3 i k''-f Jtifc. Huge Inventory to Fit Most Any Car. Exhaust Tail Pipes Also Available. The Rayco lifetime guaranteed muffler is the last muffler you will ever have to buy for your present car.
