FASH FAILS IN PINCH St. Louis U. Captain Misses Free Throw That Would Hare Tied Count. BY RAY J. GILLESPIE.

Two of the worst basketball teams that have represented Washington and St. Louis universities In a decade closed the 1939 cage season last night with one of the best games Involving a city collegiate cage championship in many a year. When all baskets were counted, It was learned the Washington U. Bears had wrestled the title from the Billikens. A thrilling 43 to 42 overtime Washington victory had the 1,658 cash customers and an additional 1,000 students clinging to the end of their pews, shouting until the Bears' fleldhouse shook.

What a pity it was that the individual star of the game, Capt. Herb Fash, had to be "put on the pot" In the closing seconds with the arduous task of shooting a free throw that would tie the score! As the ball left Fash's paws, the big crowd sat in mute silence, then shrieked. The ball dropped Inside the rim, but began to twirl as It did so and hopped out, spreading Joy among the Washington fans and sounding the death knell for the Billlkens. Yes, It was irony that the Billl-ken caDtaln almost doubled his 4wv PRIZES nearest scoring rivals with eicht fr throws anrl four firlrf burketa FIVE-MINUTE SPEAKERS have cluttered up the town, talking on this St. Louis On Parade Exposition to be held at the Muny Auditorium March 20 to 28 C.
