i iSllilll By DAVID ADAMS Magnificent Clem Haskins rose to the occasion and ignited emotionally-charged Western into an awesome machine that cut down tree-tall Eastern 82-73 last night. The gilt-edged performance 29 points and 13 rebounds accelerated Western's basketball momentum to fever pitch and barreled the underdog Hilltoppers into the championship game tonight. Roadweary Murray will be the foe in the Ohio Valley Conference Holiday Tournament final at Convention Center. Murray, its style numbed by a back-breaking schedule, advanced to the final by fighting off upset-minded Tennessee Tech 79-75. Coach Cal Luther of Murray called Haskins the difference in Western's victory before for charging with 48 seconds to go and left the game.

Filipek drove for a layup with 35 seconds left to draw Tech within one at 76-75. But Herb McPherson, a sophomore equal to the pressure, dropped in a fast-break layup against Tech's press for a 78-75 spread. Charles Wood tipped in an apparent Tech rebound, but officials whistled him for pushing off, disallowed the goal and down went Tech's last chance with 16 seconds on the clock. Murray, playing its fourth game in five, nights, tired badly in the stretch. In hiking its won-lost record to 7-2, Luther's outfit had to come from behind for the seventh game.

The Racers played in spurts. McPherson constantly rose to the occasion to deliver timely baskets. The first came when was pleased the 50-year-ow mentor, had accepted a new assignment as general manager of the University's off-campus physical facilities.

One man close to headquarters said last night: "There is a growing fear among some that Southeastern Conference recruiting methods might be brought into the Big Ten." He didn't explain what could be wrong with that. About that same time Dietzel announced from Miami that he wasn't interested and never had been, or words to that effect.

This, would almost stamp him as a hot candidate, in the coaching lingo, but you never know. A new possibility has popped up Bob Devaney of Nebraska "Bob has had two straight bowl bids," said a campus informant last night. "Nebraska is a midwestern school and Bob knows how we operate in this part of the country. Besides, Bill Orwig (athletic director) comes from Nebraska." A longshot choice reportedly is Bill Arnsparger, defensive line coach of the Baltimore Colts, who has served as an assistant at Ohio State, Kentucky and Tulane. Arnsparger, who played for Blanton Collier at Paris, High, was a lineman for both Kentucky and Miami of Ohio.

Talk on the campus is that Wayne Hardin, who recently quit at Navy, is an applicant, but that wouldn't mean much. He's on everybody's list now. Dickens, who came to Bloomington eight years ago with a record of outstanding achievement at Wofford and Wyoming, had high hopes of building Indiana to a contending level in the Big Ten. His efforts resulted in nothing but misery, however, and his eight years were climaxed this past fall with a dismal 2-7 record. In his letter of resignation to Stahr, he said: "Our efforts have not yielded the results we had hoped for and which I am sure the University, the student body and 3S IS 82 Totals 24 47 34 Of 1 Ctl1 ttl Vo AVTOlllg aw auuaa 11 it minutoi for an 80-75 basket- to St.

During the surge, Roger Shurig scored five field goals to help the Commodores register their seventh victory in nine starts. Clyde Lee poured in 25 points to pace the winners' attack. The 6-9 junior center also grabbed 26 rebounds to tie a school mark.

Meanwhile, defense-minded Tennessee solved Florida 63-59. Minnesota Wins 6th Third ranked Minnesota 'We're On The Move' Stahr, who was Secretary of the Army when Dietzel was hired by West Point, and was dean of the University of Kentucky School of Law when Dietzel was an aissistant to Paul Bryant at the Wildcat school, told alumni at the annual I. U. banquet not long ago that he had not come to the university to preside over the demise of intercollegiate football. "Indiana University is on the move," he said, "and football will move with it." Having an "open-end" contract, whatever this is, with 12 years to run, Dickens was privileged to request re- assignment to another position on the faculty or with the administration.

The new position is one of great importance to the university, as the whole future of the university is tied closely with the successful management of the spreading off-campus facilities. Gifts For O.V.C. Fans Santa On Give-Away Spree The Ohio Valley Conference basketball tournament will come to a close tonight at Convention Center and there will be lots more in the air than basketball, it seems. Santa Claus and Mrs, Claus will be there to give away a box of hot popcorn to every youngster 12 years old and under who comes through the turnstiles. Santa also will distribute more than 250 small gifts through the crowd, and top off his evening by giving away a half-dozen large turkeys.

He says the turkeys will be alive, but if the lucky patrons prefer frozen ones, he will have some ready Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the gifts were made available through the courtesy of the Jeffer- son County Playground and Recreation Board, Convention I Center, the teams, and Tom Minter, Harvey Moninger, Bob Patterson, Crawford Keeling, George Ritter and Sam Ridgway.
