Two free throws by Paul Mul-vey with 1:14 minutes left in the third period put Newton ahead for good at 5149, overcoming the heroics of Bridge-ports Bob McAdow. Newton took a 20-18 lead at the end of the first quarter and held it until McAdow went to work midway through the third period. He scored nine straight points to tie the score at 44-44.

The Bulldogs then took a 4645 lead. The score was again tied at 4949 before Mulvey free throws. Newton last played in a re Charleston Paris (Special) Charleston High School's bas ketball team annexed a fourth straight regional tournament championship Friday night by clouting top-seeded Paris 6644. This was the Trojans' third victory this season over Paris and the easiest. Previous mar gins were 43-34 and 5149.

Charleston roared to a 19-5 lead as Greg Barcus clicked on three of four field goal tries the first quarter. Charleston made 9 of 14 shots over-all dur ing the quarter. Posting a 19th straight vic tory and 26th in 27 games, Charleston was led by Barcus' 2 points. Charleston cooled off a bit in shooting after the first quarter but still managed 23-for48 for the ball from Tyrone Cooper; By Joe Cook Of the Herald Effingham Undefeated Effingham High School, looking every bit the No. 1 team, came roaring out with a 37-point first quarter and went on to demolish Farina La-Grove 101-68 in the final of Effingham St.

Anthony regional basketball tournament. Effingham, ranked No. 1 by both the Associated Press and United Press International polls, recorded a 27th victory. Effingham advances to the Bridgeport sectional tournament and a game next Thursday with Charleston, winner at Paris. The opening Bridgeport sectional game Wednesday will be Newton vs.

Areola. The high scoring Hearts, scoring 100 points for the fourth time, followed the same script they've been using during the tourney. The Hearts blasted Louisville 91-46 and crosstown rival St. Anthony 10MO in earlier tourney games. Any inclination that the Bobcats might have had to hold the ball was quickly dispelled as the Hearts grabbed an 8-0 lead in the first minute.

Steve Kloster-man was the culprit, stealing the ball twice and scoring three layup baskets. But if things weren't bad enough already, they got much worse for the Bobcats who had upset second-seeded Flora 80-75 and Teutopolis 72-61. With Klosterman and Roger Arnold causing havoc in the back court, Farina was guilty of 15 turnovers in the first quarter and 24 in the first half. Arnold, who made 24 points, scored 77 in the tourney. It was the third straight regional final for Effingham Coach Jim Maxedon.

Two years ago his Clay City team won. the title by defeating Effingham. Last year his Sparta team bowed in the final.

Pekin had to go through a pair of overtimes to subdue Peoria Limestone 54-50.

Collinsville, one of the few top ranked teams to get knock- i ed out in regional championship play, fell to 11th ranked Edwardsville 69-61. -The Kahoks were ranked fourth. Pinckneyville was not ranked but it was a difficult defeat to swallow as Trico, a district team, won the Sparta regional title 61-56. Galesburg provided the biggest noise with a 11846 triumph over Knoxville. seven minutes to go after Johnson's basket from the pivot.

Then the Panthers slowed down the attack and the Reds caught fire. Burst of Points Two free throws by Bob Moser, a rebound basket by Er-win Jackson, Bruce Smith's basket from the side and another basket by Moser put the Reds ahead at 54-53. Eisenhower never caught up. Cooper and Larry Sidney each made a pair of free throws afterwards and Dooley made a free throw on a technical foul charged to Bill Madlock. Moser led this 25th victory in 29 games and 6th straight with 19 points.

"He killed us," analyzed Eisenhower Coach Joe Russell. Tremendous for Eisenhower was Johnson, who scored 23 points and dominated the re bounding. Although in foul trouble from the start, Eisenhower jumped ahead at 6-5, boosted it to 22-16 and, except for a tie at 27-27, stayed front until the Reds' late drive as reserves Rich Harper, Bob Spates and Jim Foreman filled in nicely. Eisenhower wound up with six more baskets 25 to 19 but the Reds made 25 of 34 free throws, including 8 of 9 in the fourth quarter. Eisenhow er made 12 of 18 free throws.

Particularly hurt by early fouling were Eisenhower's Dave Landrum, who scored nine points in the first quarter and then was scoreless thereafter, and Beals, whose only basket was the last one. The Reds nudged Eisenhower 4745 in the City Round Robin tournament after trailing throughout so this was virtually a repeat. A sellout crowd of 800 watched. Eiswnhower, which now has lost four times in the regional final to Stephen Decatur, bows out with a 12-15 record.

Dakota St. 96 COLLEGE HOCKEY Rutgers 6, Purdue 1 By Bob Fallstrom Herald Sports Editor A three-point play by Jim Dooley with 21 seconds to go capped a fourth quarter comeback and provided Stephen Decatur with a 63-62 edge over Eisenhower Friday night in the MacArthur High School regional basketball tournament championship game. It's the Reds' ninth straight regional title. Dooley got a cripple on a fast break and was fouled by Perry Johnson on the play. Dooley made the free throw to give the Reds a seemingly safe 63-58 advantage.

But, in a wild finish, Leon Fonville scored on a layup Eisenhower. And Roger Beals stole Reds Happy, Stephen Decatur won the "big one" again a habit at tournament time. "When we were seven points down with seven minutes to go) I didn't think we'd get the job done," sighed Coach Jack Kenny. "Eisenhower played a fine game. Yes, they were hurt by fouling, particularly when Bill Madlock got No.

5. Moser, Smith Praised "We didn't do so bad. Our. free throwing was fine in the second half (the Reds made 14 of 16). Bob Moser gave us a fine game and Bruce Smith did well, considering that he was ill all day with an upset stomach." Moser, who beat Eisenhower in the City Round Robin with a basket with 10 seconds to go, improved on his 17 points in that game by scoring 19.

Smith got 10 points. A year ago Moser scored 29 points and Bruce 21 as the Reds smashed Warrensburg-Latham 76-57 in the regional title game at Eisenhower. Another key player for the Reds was Jim Dooley, whose three-point play turned out to be decisive. Dooley also made two other free throws in the fourth quarter. So the Reds keep on the track of a seventh straight "Sweet 16" Perry Johnson Co.

almost pulled it out, though. Johnson was the best player on the floor, scoring VIA and put in another basket as the game ended. There was confusion over whether or not official Chuck Sutton of Mattoon had called a foul on Cooper as Beals shot. Sutton said he did not call a foul and, after an angry moment or two, the crowd around the scoring table dispersed. Stephen Decatur advances to the Springfield Armory sectional and a game next Thursday with Shelbyville, winner of the Pana regional.

The Springfield sectional opener Wednesday night will pair Lincoln, winner of its own regional, and Springfield Lanphier, the Springfield regional winner. Eisenhower led 5346 with Once Over Lightly By BOB FALLSTROM Russell Bitter 23 points and rebounding savagely. The Reds players were overjoyed at wnining this one. Eisenhower Coach Joe Russell was equally as bitter. "I'm not crying," Russell started.

"We got beat and that's that. We didn't feed Perry (Johnson) enough. "Still, I think the officials (Chuck Sutton of Mattoon and Charles Gantt of Springfield) were blinded by the color red. The officials choked. They called all the tacky fouls on us plus that technical on Bill Madlock.

Bill swears he didn't say a thing to the official. "We beat 'em by six field goals. I just can't see 25 fouls on us, only 15 on them." Not a Stall, Russell Says Russell said Eisenhower ddin't stall when it was seven points ahead. "I told the boys to work the ball and feed it' to Perry," he said. 'It wasn't a stall." Nevertheless, it appeared Eisenhower lost its momentum by slowing down the attack.

The Reds immediately capitalized with four straight baskets to take the lead for good. "We should have beaten them twice, yet we lose both games," Russell said remembering the City Cound Robin tournament game in which the Panthers led 29-20 at half-' time. By Rod Allee Of the Herald Tuscola Vastlv suDerior shooting pow ered Areola High School to a second regional basketball tour-nnment title in three vears Fri day night 77-53 over Tuscola. It was the eighth straight victory for Areola and the eigntn straight over its Douglas County rival. The Purple Riders, who won the 1966 regional, outscored the Warriors in every quarter in posting a 24th victory in 27 games.

Areola fired in 27 of 62 field attempts for 43.5 per cent. Tuscola made a mere 15 of 61 for 24.6 per cent. Areola's Don Portugal, who scored 11 of his 19 points in the first quarter, clearly out rebounded Mark Seip of Tuscola. Portugal also led a devastating fast break several times in a fine performance. Shelby Tips Pana Shelbyville used balanced scoring to defeat Stonington 63-58 in the championship game of the Pana High School regional basketball tournament Friday night.

It's Shelbyville's first regional championship since 1962. Stonington had an 18-game winning streak snapped. Four of Shelbyville's starters scored in double figures. Gary Dilley and Ron Curry each had IS points and Mark Russell and Scott Williams added 11 points each. Joe Curtin of Stonington scored 20 points, 13 in the third quarter.

For the second straight night Shelbyville won at the free throw line. Outshot from the field 23-22, the Rams made 19 of 33 free throws while Stoning.
