saw until with 54 seconds to play
the score stood at 52-all. Here
Milt Kuhl, lanky Iowa center,
missed a free throw try when
Bob Shaw, substitute center,
fouled him, and in the shuffle
Ohio got the ball outside when:
it slipped from Kuhl’s hands. |

Shaw passed it to Gecomets |
who relayed it halfway down
the floor to Jim Sims, who drib-
bled the remainder of the dis-
tance for an easy shot which
meant the game. Ohio then
got the ball when Iowa was
guilty of traveling and the |
Buckeyes held the ball the re-
mainder of the game.

In the last 10 minutes of ‘the
game after the score was tied at
-45-all, Iowa took the: lead on
Will’s foul shot and Ohio went
into the lead for the first time
on Gecowet’s long shot. Iowa
made it 48 to 47 when Siegel
dropped in a short one. Kuhl
missed a free throw and Iowa
called time with four minutes to
play. |

Bud Wise, substitute Ohio for-
ward, put the Buckeyes in the
lead, 49 to 48, and Jack McClain’s
one-hand shove shot placed the
Buckeyes ahead, 51 to 48. Kuhl
then slipped in two under-basket
shots to put Iowa ahead, 52 to
51, with three minutes to play.
'Gecowet’s foul shot knotted the
lsecore and set the stage for Sims’
|winning basket.
