Leading at half time 29 18,

ith but two minutes to

play. Then, the 1M stars pulled
ahead by sinking two charity
tosses, one after the final whistle
had blown, to put the score book
away reading IM 47—11” 45.

With sharpshooter Don Ro—
han of the Shark quintet lead-
ing the attack, the 1M Alla
Stars pulled ahead in the first
few minutes of the game. Ro-
han, who showed that he really
deserved his award as Most
Valuable Intramural llnsltot-
ball Player, meshed his first
four shots and rebounded ten
rifically under both hoards.
Chuck Oldenburg, center of the
champion Wolves, p l :1 y in g
adeptly in his center spot, re-
bounded well under both boards
and booked with exceptional
accuracy.

Good ball handling by Lou Cos-
talis, Ed Jennings, and “Skippy”
Meaghcr also contributed greatly
to the EM victory. It was fine team
play that gave the Intramural AIL
Stars their second triumph in the
annual classic sponsored by Tech-
nology News.

Although behind early in the
game the boys from fraternity row
put up a tremendous fight. They
came up to tie the game and then
go ahead with but minutes to play,
only to lose out in the last few
seconds.

Led by Bruce Tennant,
Hank Lohay, and Roger Krafl't
of the Alpha Sign the lntcrfru-
ternity All-Qtars played a line
game, but the 1M boys were
just too much for them. Ten—
nant, Loliay, and lirallt, who
comprised the forward Wall,
scored a total of 25 points be-
tween them. Bill Mattcrn of
the Phi llaps also showed a
scoring punch in the lost. half
by contributing nine points to
the cause.

Between halves the Technology
News “Most Valuable Player”
awards were given to Don Rohan,
as most valuable in the Intramural
League, and to Bruce Tennant, as
most valuable in the Interfrater—
nity League. A new trophy was
also presented by Technology
News to the winning team, whose
name will be engraved on it. The
award will be kept as a permanent
trophy and be presented to each
year’s winner. .

by which most of the events were

Outstanding runner of the

hour later he ran again to

It looks like Denny’s back has at

Headed by last year’s champs,

however, looked exceptionally
well poised in their opening
games and practice sessions.
No team will be eliminated until
it has lost two or three games,
and with the~ terrific line—up of
squads, it seems as though there
will be many on the edge of being
eliminated, with very high odds
against an undefeated season for
any team.
