Coach Henry Tigers, play ing without the services of Pool, their rebounding center, used a big sejeond quarter a their springboard to victory. During this time they netted six field goals and nine ot eleven free throws, while holding St. Mary's to ten point.

Hysteria almost hit the gym In the fourth period when a seemingly safe leven-point lead--as. wh.U led to five points, 51-66. with four and a half minutes remaining. Wlckllffe, playing calm basketball, soon moved back in front however on two Important baskets by Carl Newton. Newton scored only two points the first half, but collected ten more during the last half.

Both Rolllna and Morgan fouled out ot the gsme with leas than two minute remaining In the contest. Dave Myrlck led a well-balanced St Mary's scoring attack with 14 point.
