Two aeasons 4Just A Slap' Ilroyles Reprimanded lly Southwest Loop From Wire Dltpatchet The Southwest Conference yesterday reprimanded Arkansas Coach Frank Broyles for violation of its "gag" rule which prohibits a coach or athletic official from pub. lically criticizing any game official.

The public reprimand of Broyles for his criticism of the officiating in the Arkansas-Mississippi game, which Ole Miss won 10-7 with a controversial field goal in the last six seconds, was generally considered only a "slap on the wrist." Broyles had accused the referee, Tommy Bell of Lexington, Ky of calling the field goal good when actually, Broyles maintained, it was "wide of the goal by several feet." Dedecker Signs With Cards St. Louis, Dec. 10 (API Darrell Dedecker, 8-2, 235-pound linebacker and defensive tackle at the University ot Illinois.

Given an 18-point performance by junior guard Ray Pohlman and a valuable last-quarter scoring splurge by Buddy Meuller, Trinity dropped Manual 48-46 at Bellarmine Gym last night. Meuller picked up three fouls early in the game and sat out most of the second and third periods, but he returned in the last quarter and dropped through eight points to lead the Shamrocks from behind. Fred Steele pumped through 24 points for the Crimsons and kept them in front most of the way. They led 12-11 after the first quarter, 25-24 at the half and 33-30 after three periods. However, Meuller and forward Gerry Marchand led a quick flurry at the beginning of the last period which put the Shamrocks on top.

But after a few months, it is apparent to everyone, and from then on the gap widens fast. While one is going downhill, the other is building you up.

And by the time the first is discarded, the one from Appel's with the "Timely Clothes" label is still in the prime of life. Tomorrow's The Tigers led all the way against Cathedral, 8-7 at the first stop, 26-18 at the half and 38-31 after three quarters. Cathedral made a run at them in the last quarter, pulling within two, 50-48, with 20 seconds left. However, Jim Kupper calmly dropped through two free throws to ice the victory for the Tigers. It was their second win against two losses.

Mike Silliman, the Tigers' 6-5 center, led all scorers with 18 points and teamed with Billy Cassidy to control the boards for St. X. William Sahm led Indianapolis with 13.
