Smithtow n JV Stops P chogue In Overtime SMITHTOWN — Roger Wood- well scored all six ' Smithjtown points in an overtime period that enabled the Smithtown junior var- sity basketball team to score a 54- 48 victory over Patehogue JV here last Thursday. Smithtown had rallied from an eight-point deficit with less than two minute s left in the game to send the contest into the extra session. It was during these final two hectic minutes that the Red Raiders lost two of their top oper- ators. Joe Hauser , tallest p layer on the squad at 6-3 , departed via ihe foul route with 1:59 remaining and Patehogue on top, 48-40. With 47 seconds left and the scoreboard reading 48-42 , the Raiders lost their top scorer , Walt Costello. Steve Jones , who played a fine floor game and scored 14 points , lef t or. fouls during the overtime period. With Hauser and Costello on the sidelines , the . Raider attack went to pieces as Smithtown began to click. One of two free th rows by Woodwell cut the lead to five. Seconds later , Al Chandler drove through the Parchogue defense for a layup. Then the 5-10 sophomore stole the ball and drove in for another two pointer that shaved the PHS lead to 48-47. Again , the Indians stole the ball as Patehogu e had trouble hanging onto the ball. With 10 seconds left , Jim Frederick , was fouled but missed the free throw and a chance to tie the score. There was a bi g scramble for the rebound and Frederick was foul- ed again with just two seconds to go. This time he made the first one to tie the score , but missed the second. Patehogue got the re- bound but could not get a shot off in time. Into Overtime In the extra period , it was all Woodwell for Smithtown. Right at the outset , he sank a j ump shot to put the Indians ahead. Then with 47 seconds left , he calmly sank two free throws to ice the game and added two more for good measure to wind up with 13 points for the night. After trailing 13-12 at the end of the quarter , Costello started to find his shooting eye and with the Raider defense holding Smithtown to just six points Patehogue held a 26-19 lead at the intermission. Smithtown came to life in the third period , but never could take the lead as the Raiders sparked\ by Hauser and Jones managed to stay ahead. Going into the final ei g ht minutes , Patehogue led 36-35. But Smithtown never gave up. Behind , 41-35 , a free throw by Bill Stoltz and two quick baskets by Chandler sliced the Raider lead to one. However , the locals with Hauser , Jones and Costello spearheading the attack , scored seven straig ht points and seemed headed to its fifth victory in six starts. But Smithtown had other ideas and came on strong to pull it out. December 18 Game Patchogue ' s fourth victory was achieved December 18 as the Raiders scored a 66-64 victory over Kings Park JV on the losers ' court . The game was not as close as the final score indicates. The forces of Coach Don Camp- bell grabbed comfortable leads at the end of every quarter and coast- ed in. Costello led the Patehogue scor- ers in both contests , scoring 26 against Kings Park and 1G at Smithtown. In the former , Hauser chipped in with 18 while Jones had 14 to take runner up honors against Smithtown.

Seton Hall won both games last year before a capacity crowd. The scores were 82-50 and 65-56. Pro , Amateur Status By Al Baron Trailing the Ducks: When is a professional an amateur ? When he plays •'Amateur Hockey. \ To clear up one of the most confusing aspects of Eastern Hockey League p lay, we did some research into the teminology used to describe amateurs as opposed to professionals. <8* The very first thing a hockey fan must understand is that both professionals and amateurs regu- larly get paid money. This concept , of course , is not permitted in American amateur sports , so one- could properl y won- der what the dividing line is be- tween an amateur and a pro. Basi- cally, the different leagues- which exist in Canada and the U. S. are set up for purposes of talent classification , rather than for their degree of professionalism. For examp le, the L. I. Ducks are- members of the Eastern Ama- teur Hockey league , a level of play which is about equal to class \D\ in baseball. If a player shows some merit , he may be brought up to a \Pro \ league , like the AHL , for a five-game look-see without losing his •'amateur \ stag- tus. Should the pro team si gn the player to a season contract , he could not return to the- Ducks unless he applies for reinstate- ment through the EHL office . This is rarel y refused ; so traffic be- tween leagues is practicall y un- hindered. There are two associations which guide the policies of ama- teurism : the EHL is enrolled in the senior open classification of the Amateur Hockey Association of the United State s , which in turn has an agreemnt with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Asso- ciation. In clarification of the Amateur- Pro puzzler , the AHAUS describes an amateur player as \ one who is registered b y a recognized ama- teur hockey association and is not engaged in p laying organized pro- hockey under contract to a pro- club or , having entered into a contract with a pro-club , has not engaged in more than five games in organized pro-hockey in any one season , but who may, accord- ing to the conditions involved, re- ceive reimbursement for time lost from his regular occupation and ' or for general living expenses while playing hockey. \ Hockey officials further state that it would be impossible to en- ter a team in an organized lea- gue without this libera l interpre- tation of amateurism. Training periods , the regular schedule and p layoffs in the EHL cove r ap- proximately six month s and play- ers can not afford to absent them- selves from regular emp loyment for such periods , they point out . So there you have it , fans. If someone ever asks you a riddle about when is a professional an amateur , don 't waste a moment in answering, \ when he p lays amateur hockey!\ DUCK TRACKS — Ducks play Knoxvi-lle tonigh t. New Haven , Saturday and Monday ni g hts , after a 10-day holiday gap at the L. I. Arena. Ducks Seeking Playoff Berth In Home Stand A three-game home stand begin- ning with tonight' s game affords the Long Island Ducks an oppor- tunity to scramble back into the race for an Eastern Hockey League playoff berth. Two of the three games will pair the Ducks against Northern Divi- sion rival New Haven who Long- Island must beat out to qualify for the post-season activity. Tonight' s contest matches Knox- ville against the Ducks , then it' s the Blades at the Long Island Arena for successive games Sat- urday and Monday. All games will start at 8:15 p. m. The Ducks , who feel they have streng thened their attack with the acquisitions of rig ht wingers Jim Maxwell and Andre Bessett e from Charlotte , have failed to defeat Knoxville in three games at Com- mack. The Ducks ' lone decision over the Knig hts was at Knox- ville by a 4-3 score. Knoxville , which holds down second place in the league ' s South- ern Division , will be making its final appearance of the season at the LI Arena. The Ducks have three games remaining at Knox- ville. NH Games The New Haven games promise to be as exciting as the first three contested at the Arena. The Ducks already hold two verdicts over the Blades here and New Haven coach Wall y Kullman has vowed his club won 't be taken again by the Ducks. Kullman ' s club has undergone many changes since the beginning of the season , the latest being the purchase of forward Norm Doyle from Toledo of the IHL. Though veteran defenseman Don Perry is no longer with the club , the Blades are still strong on de- fense , led by their durable netmind- er , Gaeten Desserault. Forwards Fern Bernaquez , Wim- py Jones , Yvan Chasle and Joe Connors are the Blades ' leading threats on offense. Meanwhile , Duck coach John Muckler has been drilling his club hard in preparation for the three games. Muckler believes the Ducks got the better of the trade that saw Don Atamanchuk , Barry Ho- gan and George Edwards go to Charlotte in exchange for Maxwell and Bessette. Maxwell bagged a pair of goals in his Long Island debut last week ab the Ducks trimmed Johnstown , 3-1. The 32-year-old Max-well scored 75 goals the past two sea- sons at Charlotte and has 19 so far this campaign.

Indoor Tracksters Of Seton Hall Strong in Meet B y Chuck Wisniewski Led by the front running of Bob Fusco , Bob Hasselo and Mike Bar- rett , Seton 'Hall' s indoor t rack team completely dominated a track meet sponsored by St. Peter ' s of Jersey Cit y. The meet was held recently at Staten Island. Fusco , the Nassau-Suffolk Cath- olic High School cross country champ, scored victories in the one and two mile runs. His times were 4:40 and 10:20. Hasselo won the quarter-mile in a strong finish and Patehogue Trims Smithtown , 76-71 , in A-2 League Opener By James Barbanell SMITHTOWN — O pening defense of its A-2 League title , Patehogue Hi gh School' s basketball team scored heavil y in the first three quarters and then held on for a 76-71 victory over Smithtown on the losers ' court last Thursday. The Red Raiders , who lost their first game to Kings Park , 78-67 , three days earlier after four strai ght triumphs , took quarter leads of 1 7-5 , 39-2 1 , and 61-43 It • ** was not one of their best efforts though as the locals put on a leth- argic performance. Wha;ev«r it war, , tne Raiders were probably saving it for their next league game against West Babylon January 5. Before that , Patehogue will ' take part in the fifth annua l Hauppauge Yuletide Basketball Tournament. Pateh- ogue will face either Hauppauge or North port in the first game of a double-header tonight , starting at 7 p. m. With a lead as high as 22 points , Patehogue coach Cliff Ross substituted freely and the move almost proved costly. All 15 Raiders saw action with a new team taking the floor for the fi- nal eight minutes. These reserves kept Patehogue in command but their lea d slowly began to shrink. Lead Is Cut Employing a successful press , the Smithtown offense began to click. What was a 69-49 Pateh- ogue lead was quickly melted to 70-57 before the Raiders recovered for a brief spell. Fred Davies sunk a free throw and a layup by John Haag gave the Raiders more breathing room before the next Smithtown spurt. This streak sliced the big PHS spread to six before Ross had to send in starters Bud Rooney and Pete Borella to stem the tide. The foul line proved to be the deciding- factor. Outshot from the floor 29-22 , the Raiders made 32 of 57 from the free throw line as compared to 13 of 27 for Smith- town and that was the difference. In the first three quarters , Pat- ehogue had 48 attempts and sank 27. Sparked by Elwyn Schaefer and Rooney in the scoring depart- ment , and with Rooney. Schaefer , Vince DeCerbo and Steve Skinner doing a fine job under the boards , the Raiders never trailed. Rooney score d the game ' s first basket as the Raiders ran off 10 straig ht points before the Indians made the scoreboard on a tap in by Charles Schmid and a jump shot by Bill Curtis. Both schools swapped foul shots before the lo- cals scored six straight points for a first period margin. The Indians started to find their shooting eye in the early mo- ments of the second quarter. Hold- ing Patehogue to two points on LWO free throws by Rooney, Cur- tis went on a one-man tear to cut the PHS lead to 19-13 at the three minute mark. Patehogue Moves Now it was Patchogue ' s turn as the Raiders went on a 1 2-2 tear to break the game wide open. Four players shared the scoring as Schaefer and Borella scored four each while Skinner and De- Cerbo contributed two each. Both squads gave good shooting performances in the third stanza as each school tallied 22 points. Smithtown made 10 of 16 from the floor with Schmid (9) and Bob Sandford (6) leading the attack. For the Raiders who made se- ven of 14. Schaefer , DeCerbo and Bob Vignato scored all but six points between them. Schaefer had seven , DeCerbo five and Vignato four. Patehogue wound up hitting* 22 of 51 shots for a .431 average. Smithtown ' s percentage was .408. hitting 29 of 71 from the floor. The Raiders pulled down 48 re- bounds to 31 for Smithtown. Roo- ney and Schaefer grabbed nine and Skinner eight. However , Sch- mid had 10. All but four Raiders failed to score , topped by Schaefer who had 21 points including 13 of 22 from the free throwline. Rooney had 17 , marking the sixth straig ht game he was in double figures. December 18 Game King's Park had four men in double figures to send the Raiders to their first defeat Decembei* 18. The Kingsmen have a decided height advantage and used it to control both backboards. Rich Kohler , a 6-4 center , was Patchogue ' s biggest headache as he scored 28 points. When Kohler was contained , Nick DiBari took up the slack and chipped in with 21. Jim Moran had 12 and Bob Belford 10. Meanwhile Rooney was all ov- er the court for the Raiders and scored 26 points. The total repre- sented his individual high for the season , matching it for the third time in five games. Borel' a and DeCerbo also p layed a strong of- fensive game , scoring 16 and 12 points respectively. The game itself was close for one quarter which ended at 16-16. Shooting a terrific clip, the Kings- men took a 38-29 lead at the half and increased it to 60-50 after three quarters. It was stretched to as much as 19 in the final period. A late full- court press trimmed the spread to seven but the Kingsmen recovered.
