SAE Edges Sigma Chi 25-23 In Well-Played IM Contest
In what was perhaps the best played and most thrilling game of the young intramural basketball season, Sigma Alpha Epsilon defeated Sigma Chi 25-23 in a fraternity "A" encounter Thursday night at Robinson annex.
Rick Lance sank a long shot with five seconds remaining to bring Sigma Alpha the victory. Just 10 seconds before, Dane Lonborg of Sigma Chi had connected with a long two hand push shot to deadlock the score.
Sigma Chi managed to get a shot away in the last five seconds, but it was too hurried to be accurate.
SAE led 13-8 at halftime, but the lead dwindled to 21-19 at the end of the third quarter, and the last quarter developed into a real dog-fight.
Four minutes of the last frame went by without either team scoring, before Marv White of SAE finally broke the ice and gave his team a four point advantage.
SAE tried to stall the ball at this stage, but finally lost it with 20 seconds left. All that remained to climax this thrilling encounter was the timely shooting of Lonborg and Lance.
Sigma Chi's hopes were revived when Alan Marshall scored with a minute and a half left.
Excellent floor play, rebounding, and teamwork featured the play of both teams. Paul Smith with nine points and Lance with seven took scoring honors for Sig Alph. The point making for Sigma Chi was well balanced.
Delta Upson edged past Lambda Chi Alpha 32-30 in a tightly played fraternity "C" game at Robinson gym. The two teams were tied 20-20 at halftime.
Alvis Stallard with 14 points and Charles Moon with nine paced the DU scoring.
John Fulkerson and Darrell Kellegg led the Lambda Chi attack with nine and seven points, respectively.
Although Roger Williams finished their game with three men, they still won handily from East Side -26 in an independent "B" game at Robinson gym.
With Don Ament pouring in 14 points in the first half, Roger Williams built up a comfortable 25-16 score at intermission.
Ament who led the victors with 18 points fouled out seconds after the fourth quarter began, and was followed a few minutes later by
Howard Stringham, forcing Roger Williams to finish the game with three men.
The East Side scoring was led by Richard Coffelt with eight points and Keith Nease with five.

Bucceroni Meets Lastarza Tonight
Buceceroni, proud of the dynamite in his right fist, confidently declared he would make Lastarza the 26th knockout victim in his 37 professional fights.
New York—(U.P.)-Lanky D a n Buceroni of Philadelphia predicted a knockout victory in tonight's television 10-round with stocky Roland Lastarza at Madison Square Garden, but the betting today favored Lastarza 3-1.
However, no one yet has knocked out rugged Lastarza; not even Rocky Marciano, the Brockton slugger who belted out Rex Layne and Joe Louis.

Graham Selected 'Player Of Year'
Friday, Dec. 21, 1951
New York—(U.R.) —Otto Graham the Cleveland Breward quarterback who looks like a movie star, talks like an insurance agent and passes like a champion, was selected National Football league "Player of the Year" today by United Press football writers.
The handsome Graham actually is an insurance agent but for the last six years he has spent his falls helping to make the Browns the most successful team in professional football history. He led Cleveland to its sixth straight division championship this year and won the balloting in a walk.
The only other players who received votes were Eilroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch, the Los Angeles Rams' fine end, and Tackle Lou "The Toe" Groza, Cleveland's star placekicker.
Graham leads the Browns against the Rams and passer Bob Waterfield for the world pro championship Sunday at Los Angeles. But, win or lose, the former Northwestern athlete already has proven his right to the "player of the year" title.
The Browns played the toughest regular season schedule in the league and posted the best record, 11 victories against one defeat. Graham, as usual, was at his point-making best in the club's crucial games.
"On the Banks of the Wabash" is the state song of Indiana.
Tigers Tired Of Close Calls; Plan To Pulverize Gator Foe
Clemson, S.C.—(U.R.)—Clemson's Tigers, in the Southern conference dog-house for accepting a bowl bid, have made a habit of barely squeaking through New Year's Day classics.
This year, they aim to beat Miami in the Gator bowl at Jacksonville, Fla., by a decisive margin.
The Gator Bowl venture represents Clemson's fourth bowl trip since 1940. The Tigers are unbeaten in three New Year's Day games, but their margin of victory in those contests totals only five points.
Last year, Clemson came from behind in the last three minutes of the Orange Bowl game to edge this same Miami team, 15-14, on the margin of a safety.
In the 1949 Gator Bowl, Coach Frank Howard's "Country Gentlemen" from the hills of South Carolina edged Missouri, 24-23, on the strength of a fourth period field goal.
And in their first bowl appearance
—against Boston college in the 1940 Cotton Bowl—Clemson won, 6-3. Jess Neely was the Tiger coach then, but Howard was an assistant.
Youth Will Be Served
The Southern conference fathers have frowned upon bowl games and forbade members from playing in them, effective this season. Clemson, along with Maryland, defied the ban to accept bowl bids and have been suspended from conference football for one year.
Parkersburg, W. Va., (U.P.)—A 10-year-old boy here was held for juvenile authorities after admitting that he set fire to a vacant lot "to make a place to play football."

These winter warnings can save your life!
They reduce braking distances on ice and snow as much as 50%. That extra distance saved can save your life.
On icy streets, it's almost impossible to get the speed and traction to pass safely. Keep a good distance between cars. Give hand signals well in advance.
An efficient defroster and windshield wiper do the job as nothing else can. They're absolute necessities for safe winter driving.
Practice pumping your brakes on snow or ice before you hit the heavy traffic. Jamming them on can lock the wheels and throw your car into a dangerous skid. Take it easy! If you skid, slow down even more.
Always expect trouble in winter. That's the best way to avoid it—and stay alive.
Be Careful-the life you save may be your own!
