Page 7
Phi Gamma Delta won the Fraternity A basketball championship by defeating Beta Theta Pi, 46-32, in Robinson Annex last night.
In the Independent A league finals the Hookers, aided by a last minute collapse of the American Pharmaceutical Association team, won by ten points, 67-57. The Phi Gams and Hookers will play for the Hill championship at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Beta picked up a first quarter lead and held it throughout most of the second period, but the Ph Gam rebounding strength finally began to show as they hit five quick points to tie the score 17-17 at halftime.
Tide Begins To Turn
The tide began to turn at the beginning of the second half. Phi Gam controlled the tip and big Jim Tierney scored on a jump shot from the top of the circle to put his team ahead. Then Beta caught cold and after three short minutes of play Phi Gam was on top to stay. 24-19. By the time the third quarter was over, the Fijis were in definite control of both boards and held an eight point lead. 30-22.
A short time after the start of the fourth quarter, Beta caught fire and narowed its deficit to four points, but Peppercorn and Wally Strauch hit jump shots and gave Phi Gam a large enough lead to go into a stall.
Beta Zone Not Enough
Beta used a tough one-three-one zone defense throughout the game in an attempt to stop the Phi Gam rebounding power and inside scoring power but this wasn't enough.
Phi Gam's tight man for man defense kept Beta shooting outside and if the shots missed Beta usually didn't get a second chance.
Hookers Can't Stop Brainard
The Hookers used a tight three two zone defense to try to stop the Pharmacy's Bill Brainaird but this failed as Brainard hit 25 points to win game scoring honors.
The Pharmacy, taking advantage of a Hooker cold spell hit ten
straight points in the last part of the first quarter to gain a 15-15 tie.
The start of the second quarter saw the Hookers use their wide open brand of ball as Rich Young broke away several times and took full court passes from his mates to score easy layups. The score at the half was 33-26, Hookers.
During the third quarter both teams scored freely. Brainard cooled off, but teammate Don Peterson took up the slack for the Pharmacy. The Hookers started to hit from outside and at the end of the third quarter the score was 45-41. Hookers.
In the last period Pharmacy pulled even and looked as if they could win, but they weren't quite deep enough. Brainard hit several deep corner jump shots, and Peterson's jump shot was still accurate. With only one minute and ten seconds left to play in the game, the score was tied at 55-55.
Pharmacy Collanse Comes Late
Then the collapse came Bob Preston hit an easy jump shot for the Hookers, Rich Young scored on two more full court break away plays. Preston was fouled and made both free throws, Fuzzy Martin hit two more free throws and the game was over. 67-57.
