"Just a drop or two won't hurt the boys." Gallagher stood next to his locker, surrounded by admirers. "We wanted it more than they did," he shouted, referring to the game, not the champagne.

"What were you saying to Jackson?" he was asked. "I was just razzing," beamed Gallagher, "i kept on saying, 'C'mon, Sonny, shoot' and 'Smile, You know how he always has a big smile every time somebody takes a picture." Now it was Gallagher's turn to smile. He removed a tight bandage from his right knee a souvenir from his football days and headed for the shower. "You played quite a game for a little man," somebody kidded him. "Little?" snorted Gallagher.

"I'm really 5-9 or 5-10. They just list me as 5-8 to confuse the opposition. I'm not so little." No one had the heart to argue.

A shifting zone defense that started as a 3-2 and wound up as a 1-2-2 befuddled the favorites. And Gallagher added to West's troubles by distracting All-Public ace Sonny Jackson with a steady stream of chatter.

Bonner's leather-lunged fans were on their feet most of the second half as their heroes closed in on the title. Gallagher kept talking, dribbling and diving head-first for loose balls. Once he even tried to outfox the officials by standing flat-footed on a jump ball, then backing off and leaping to grab the tap that had been controlled by one of West's taller young men. Ref Lou Bonder whistled himself red in the face, trying to be heard over the din, as Gallagher drove the length of the court and laid one in for practice. The noise grew louder and the confusion mounted at the final buzzer.

Tom Sabol, Bonner's youthful coach, enjoyed his big moment for about 20 seconds. Then he rushed off frantically, wearing a horrified expression. He looked like a man who bad just lost his best friend. "It's my son," shouted Sabol. "He's lost in the crowd.
