By Steve Clark
★ ★ ★
With league titles secured, the Cronies and Sigma Alpha Epsilon meet tonight for the Hill Intramural basketball championship.
Fraternity 'A' Champs
Game time is 5 p.m. in Robinson Gymnasium.
Last night, the Cronies defeated HIDK in overtime 64-58 and Sigma Alpha Epsilon revenged an early season defeat to Phi Kappa Theia. 57-52.
SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON—(l-r) Jack Galloway, John Henderson, John Williams, Jan Jantzen, Dave Stinson, and Dave Noland.
Independent 'A' Champs
THE TWO TEAMS are matched position for position and the only Sigma Alpha Epsilon edge is that of endurance. The Cronies had three men scoring in double figures last night as did the SAE's. Each team has an outstanding rebounder at the center position.
THE CRONIES.--(l-r) Mike Berkely, Dick Hougland, Lee Meyer, Stu Shandalove, and Otto Scholl. Seated (l-r) Bill Crank and Larry Manning.
Mike Berkely led the Cronies in scoring with 17 points. Lee Meyer and Stu Shandalove each scored 13 points. For the Sig Alphs, John Henderson scored 17 points, Dave Stinson 16 and Gary Nolan 10.
The best battle of the night came between the team's two centers. Shandalove of the Cronies and Henderson of the SAE's were both all-league last year. Both are considered to be the best rebounders in their respective leagues.
SHANDALOVE, who is a lanky 6-5, was unstopable on the backboards last night. The native of Brooklyn is also adept at blocking shots, which he did several times throughout the game. Henderson stands 6-4, but is much heavier than Shandalove and hard to stop underneath the boards.
The first half of the Cronies-HIDK battle saw the score being tied seven times and the lead changing hands often. At the end of the first half, the Cronies led 35-24. The Cronies took over the lead with five minutes remaining in the second period.
**STINSON** and Henderson led the Sig Alph first half comeback with 11 points each. Sandy Cahill had 10 for the Phi Kaps.
HIDK whitted the Cronies lead in the third quarter as they scored nine points compared to the Cronies' four. The Cronies started scoring in the fourth quarter and built their margin to 47-39 with 4:35 remaining. At this point, however, HIDK gained control of the game and narrowed the Cronies' margin to two points. With two minutes remaining to play, Don Miller stole the ball and scored on a layup giving HIDK a 51-49 lead.
John Williams put the SAE's
HIDK GAINED control of the ball again after rebounding a missed Cronies shot, but Shandalove stole the ball and was fouled as he went in for a layup. He missed his first shot, but made the second one, making the score 51-50 in favor of HIDK. The ball changed hands several times in the remaining minute before Shandalove was fouled again in the act of shooting as the buzzer sounded.
In the overtime period the Cronies led by Shandalove and Meyer jumped off to a four point lead which they never relinquished.
During the second quarter the Sig Alphs continued to narrow the Phi Kap's margin. With two minutes remaining the SAE's tied the game for the first time. With less than a minute remaining to play in the first half, SAE went ahead for the first time on two free throws by Nolan. Phi Kappa Theta regained the lead, but SAE went ahead again on Dave Stinson's two free throws. Sandy Cahill scored as the buzzer sounded to give the Phi Kaps a 33-32 halftime advantage.
He needed to make both free throws for the Cronies to win. He made his first, but missed the second, making the score 51-51 and sending the game into overtime.
IN THE SECOND GAME, the Phi Kappa Thetas baffled the SAE's with a full court press zone defense and run and shoot offensive tactics to build a 13-4 lead in the first four minutes of play.
At that point, the SAE's regained their composure and slowly began whittling down the Phi Kap's lead. Stinson scored with 55 seconds remaining in the first quarter to narrow the Phi Kap's lead to two points. However, the Phi Kaps rallied to build a 21-25 first quarter margin.
ahead to stay in the third quarter on a field goal with 4:20 remaining making the score 36-35. From that point, the SAE built their margin to 11 points. The Phi Kaps did not score in the last five minutes of the third quarter. The SAE's were never threatened in the fourth quarter.
Shooting percentages were the big factor in the game. The SAE's made 55 per cent of their shots in the first half and 75 per cent in the second half. The Phi Kaps made 43 per cent in the first half and 34 per cent in the second half.
