Presbyterian Meets
Mercer Here Friday
Presbyterian College fans will
attend the PC-Mercer game here-
Friday night convinced that
their one-two scoring punch of
Dave and Bruce Thompson is
among the best in basketball.
Game time is 8:00 p. m., in Le-
Roy Springs gymnasium.
This powerful duo from Indi
ana has scored well over half of
the Blue Hose total points with
623 of the team’s 1050 to date.
That means a combined average
of 51.8 points per game.
PC Coach Rusj^Murphy gives
this estimate
“These two Thmopson boys
have been the backbone of our
offense all year. They’re'simply
terrific. Dave’s hitting from the
outside has been tops, and Bruce
has been outstanding under the
basket. ^
Forward Dave Thompson, of
Frankfort, Ind., although stand
ing a small six feet, currently
ranks second in the nation with
a 12-game average of 59.5 points
per game. He has amassed a to
tal of 354 points on 133 field goals
and 88 charity shots. His field
goal accuracy stands at 47.1 per
cent and his 88 free throws in
109 attempts make him top man
on the team in this department
with 80.7 per cent. He ranks sec
ond in rebounds and second in
assists. Dave, who strikes with
a varied offense, is particularly
effective with has one-handed
push shot from the comers and
outside.
Bruce Thompson, the six foot-
four inch center from Michigan
City, Ind., has dumped in 268
points on 91 field goals and 86
free tosses. This gives him an
average per game of 22.3. Pre
haps the biggest accomplishment
of this big pivot man, however,
is the rate he has been clean
ing the backboards. In the 12
games he has grabbed 198 re
bounds for an average of -16.5 per
game. By hitting the bucket on
86 of 108 free throw attempts,
he ranks second with 79.6 per
cent. His field goal accuracy is
48.2 per cent. Bruce’s favorite
shot is a two-handed shot from
out in front of the basket, al
though a large amount of his
points have come on tip-ins.
