00:00 [music playing]
00:03 Evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28 We're about to witness the basketball battle
00:30 of the century.
00:31 The whole town has turned out to back the local team
00:33 from University U, and Polytechnic University
00:35 from upstate is well supported, too.
00:37 The UUPU rivalry dates back to the beginning of the century,
00:40 and up to now, the score is even.
00:42 And tonight's battle is a toss-up
00:43 between these two squads.
00:44 [music playing]
00:47 Here comes the home squad out onto the floor.
00:49 Just listen to that crowd.
00:50 [cheering]
00:52 And here comes the visiting team.
00:54 Hooray!
00:56 [cheering]
00:58 The teams are out there warming up now,
00:59 and it won't be long before we get underway.
01:02 Basketball attracts the tall boys,
01:04 whose great height makes it easy for them to drop
01:05 the ball through the hook.
01:08 These last-minute practice shots are very important to the boys.
01:11 They like to have their eyes sharpened up
01:12 for that old bucket.
01:13 [music playing]
01:17 All right, we're ready to go here now.
01:24 It's a tense moment.
01:26 The players are anxiously awaiting
01:27 the outcome of the first toss.
01:28 [music playing]
01:31 The polytechnic coach is giving last-minute instructions
01:37 to his star player.
01:39 The referee is picking up the ball.
01:40 [music playing]
01:44 Now both squads are on the court.
01:45 They line up for the jump.
01:47 Oh, the tension is terrific.
01:48 [whistle blows]
01:49 [music playing]
01:53 The ball is tipped.
01:54 Vada has it.
01:55 He's pivoting.
01:56 He bounces the ball to West, who dribbles
01:57 and passes to Hannah.
01:58 Hannah tosses back to West.
01:59 West to Hannah, back to West, to Hannah, to West, to Hannah,
02:02 to West.
02:03 The ball's to Vada in the pivot spot.
02:04 Back to West, waiting for an opening.
02:05 To Reeves, to Huber, over to-- oh, there's the break.
02:08 Reeves, dribbling the ball, past the defense, under the basket.
02:10 He shoots.
02:11 It's good.
02:12 Two points, and the home team draws first blood.
02:15 Wright takes it out of bounds.
02:16 Flipped it to Vada, over to Reeves again
02:17 in the pivot position, over to Gracie, to Burke, to Peeb--
02:19 [whistle blows]
02:21 The sharp eyes of the referee sometimes catch
02:23 the most dangerous things the spectators miss.
02:25 So let's retrace that last play and view
02:27 it through the referee's eye.
02:30 Sibley dribbling.
02:31 They guard him closely.
02:32 And he passes to Wright.
02:35 West has it, dribbling down court.
02:37 Look at that footwork.
02:40 Satterwhite gets one free throw.
02:42 It's up to the referee to make sure that the thrower's feet do
02:45 not overlap the free throw line.
02:46 And he makes the point.
02:50 King tosses into Sibley, who dribbles down court
02:52 to the line, pivots, and passes to Tobleman in position.
02:55 And he's-- no, Hagan has the ball.
02:57 He shoots.
02:58 It's blocked.
