WARREN LEITCH put in two free throws to make the score 52-49.
THE FIRST PART of the contest was dominated by the Independents. With two minutes left in the first quarter The One held a comfortable seven point lead. The Betas narrowed the lead as the first quarter ended 15-11, in favor of The One.
With three minutes to go in the second quarter, the Betas went into the lead for the first time since early in the game 20-18. At halftime, the Betas held a narrow 25-24 margin.
**IN THE THIRD quarter, with a minute to go, Beta Theta Pi held a comfortable 40-33 margin. In the next minute, however, The One came to life to cut the lead to one, 40-39 at the end of the quarter.**
Leading the champion Betas was Bud Gollier and John Peterson. Gollier connected on four fielders and seven of nine from the charity stripe for 15 points.
Although scoring only 11 points, Peterson's most important contribution was rebounding. The 6-5 Beta center dominated the boards throughout the game until he fouled out with three minutes left in the game.
JIM POAGE of The One was the game's high scorer with 17 points. Two other The One players, Nick
Gangwich and Rich Johnson scored in double figures, hitting 13 and 11 points respectively.
The victory was the 18th consecutive win for Beta Theta Pi over a two year span and its second consecutive Hill Championship.

Johansson Speaks On Heavy Running
PALM BEACH, Fla. —(UPI)—When I run on the road each morning, I keep telling myself that Whitey Bimstein, my American trainer, always says: "The body gets the credit, the legs do the job."
By Ingemar Johansson
I realize that I am no better in a fight than my ability to move around. I couldn't get out of my own way, as you say in this country, in my second fight with Floyd Patterson. I would have to think it was that my legs weren't in shape.

Jan Wall, 6-6 forward, with some tremendous outside shooting, spread the Sooners which provided space for some of Bush's pet give-and-go plays.
AL ROOTS, 6-2 guard, was the playmaker whose feeding helped demoralize the Sooner defense.
Nebraska Coach Jerry Bush said he hopes Kansas will use the same type of defense that was employed in the first encounter.
COACH BUSH SAID both he and his players are convinced Wayne Hightower and Bill Bridges are not as effective trying to cover a man moving on the outside as was the case in the slow down game at Lincoln.
Ivan Grupe, 6-5, 217 pound sophomore who has seen only limited service this season started against Oklahoma when Jim Kowalke injured an ankle against Oklahoma State. Grupe contributed 15 points.
