yesterday in a second-round game of the NCAA East
Regional basketball tournament.
Worthy, who finished with 15 points, connected on a
three-point play with 57 seconds left to widen the Tar

on a foul, Worthy converted two more free throws
with 34 seconds remaining to extend North
Carolina's advantage to 52-46.
JAMES MADISON refused to quit, however, and
two free throws by Charles Fisher closed.the margin

failed to handle a long pass from Jimmy Black, but
got a reprieve when Sam Perkins was fouled with 16
seconds left. Perkins missed the first of a one-and-one
and kept the Dukes in the contest:
The crushing blow came when Dan Ruland's pass
bounced off Keith Bradley's hands and rolled out of
bounds.
AFTER BLACK missed the front end of a one-and-
one, Linton Townes established the final score with a
jumper at the buzzer.
North Carolina got off to a sluggish start but

managed to shoot 59 percent in the first half, while
James Madison shot 61.1 percent.
The TarHeels rallied from an early six-point deficit
with eight straight points and, on Perkin's tap-in of a
Worthy miss, took an 18-15 lead with 6:40 before half-
time.
The Dukes and the Tar Heels were tied three times
down the stretch before Michael Jordan's layup and a
free throw by Black gave North Carolina a 25-22 lead
with 3:19 left. Two free throws by Worthy put the Tar
Heels ahead 31-26 with 1:15 left, but a pair of free
throws by Derek Steele with 56 seconds left
established the halftime score of 31-28.

from Perkins. Ruland, Fisher and Townes scored 12
points each for James Madison, which ended its
season at 24-6.
Memphis State 56, Wake Forest 55
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)-Keith Lee's three-
point-play with 2:27 remaining proved to be the win-
ning basket as ninth-ranked Memphis State downed
18th-ranked Wake Forest, 56-55, in a second-round
basketball game of the NCAA East Regional in
Charlotte yesterday.
The Tigers, 24-4, trailed by as many as seven points
early in the second half, but clawed their way back to
a tie at 47 on a three-point-play by Otis Jackson with
10:45left.,
THE SCORE was tied three more times in the next
six minutes, due in part to a slowdown employed by
the Tigers. Lee's basket and free throw gave Mem-

phis State a 56-53 lead, but John Toms countered for
the Demon Deacons with a 15-footer at the 1:30 mark
to cut it to the final margin.
Memphis State had an opportunity to increase its
lead when Bobby Parks went to the free throw line
with 41 seconds left. Parks missed the front end of the
one-and-one, but Wake Forest committed a turnover
when Derrick Phillips intercepted a Danny Young
pass.
Phillips also had a chance to put the game away,
but he missed the front end of a bonus situation with
six seconds left.
AFTER PHILLIPS' fouled Young, the Deacons
tried a desperation shot, but Young's effort from 40
feet bounced off the left side of the rim.
Both teams shot at a torrid pace in the opening
period. Wake Forrest hit 65 percent from the field,
while Memphis State hiit.59 percent.
The score was tied three times in the first period,
the latest at 26 on a free throw by Phillip Haynes with
8:32 left. Wake Forrest then ran off seven straight
points and claimed a 33-26 edge on a Toms tap-in with
4:24 remaining.
Wake Forest eventually claimed a 38-32 lead on
a Guy Morgan reverse layup with 1:02 left before in-
termission. Memphis State then held for the last shot
and Haynes connected, cutting the Deacon's half-
time advantage to 38-34.
Lee finished with 18 points while Parks added 12
and Haynes 11.
Wake Forest, which finished at 21-9, got 14 points
from reserve Anthony Teachey and 13 from Morgan.
