Phi Gam Takes C Basketball Crown; Sweeps All Divisions
Phi Gamma Delta won the basketball C championship Monday afternoon by nosing out the Navy, 29-27. This gave the Phi Gams a sweep of the A, B and C crowns.
It was a defensive battle all the way, with both teams holding the ball for periods of up to two minutes, waiting for the opponents to make a mistake.
Navy was by far the most deliberate in their style of play, and at the end of the first quarter the Navy strategy was working, as they held a 9-5 lead.
But Phi Gam switched its defense from a zone to a man for man during the second quarter and this resulted in sharper defensive play and increased rebounding power.
With just minutes remaining in the second period, forward Ed Dolson pumped in a long set shot to put Ph Gam ahead to stay. The score at the end of the first half was 13-11 in favor of Ph Gam.
Third Quarter Even
The third quarter was a see-saw affair with Phi Gam hitting a hot streak in the first few minutes and taking a 19-12 lead. But Navy warmed up and brought the score to 21-18 at the end of the third quarter.
Phi Gam guard Steve Bunten outmaneuvered the Navy defense to score an easy layup. Then Navy committed a lane violation in bringing the ball in bounds. This gave Phi Gam a four point lead and possession of the ball.
Both teams caught fire in the fourth quarter and started hitting well from the outside. With three minutes remaining in the game Navy was only two points behind and were in striking position, but two mistakes hurt them.
Go Into Stall
With these two factors in their favor they decided to hold the ball and go into a stall. Navy obtained possession once and scored but this wasn't enough.
Kentucky Wants NCAA Revenge
Coach Adolph Rupp's dream of another NCAA basketball championship got another chance to come true today when his Kentucky Wildcats won a berth in the big post-season tournament.
For the 12th time in the last 14 years Kentucky was crowned champ of the Southeastern Conference Monday night when it clinched first place with a 103-85 romp over Auburn. The title qualifies the Wildcats for a March 15 first game date in the NCAA carnival.
Back four years ago when Kentucky was suspended from court competition for a year by the NCAA. Rupp, the "baron of the blue grass," said he'd never rest until Kentucky received a title trophy "from the man who suspended us."
