Basketball at Knoxville College ended with a string of five victor ies, similar to the skein the team fashioned at the beginning of the season. Falling victim to the fast breaking, sharpshooting, and crisp passing of the charges of Coach Julian Bell, were Bluefield State, Livingstone, Alabama A & M, South Carolina State and Benedict. Highlighting the play during this five-game winning streak was the outstanding teamwork of the Bull dogs of KC. First to feel the sting of the re juvenated KCeans was the Bluefield State team that was nipped 82-83 in a spine tingling thriller decided in the closing seconds of the game. This game, played at Bluefield, West Virginia, started the team back on the victory road after a rough trip through Georgia and Florida. Returning home for the final two home games of the season the Bell men unleashed a blistering attack that fairly shot Livingstone and Alabama A & M out of the gym as it were. Livingstone was sub dued by the whooping score of 110-74! This game set the pattern of team play and accurate shooting that characterized the play of the team in the final games. Next on the chopping block were the basketeers of Alabama A & M who had previously defeated KC Andrew Brown of KC goes basketward in game against Hampton 87-95.
