TheCazette and Daily, York, SPORTS' Saturday Mom'n9 January 31959 Hanover Rallies To Earn Decision Nighthawks score 31 points in final period to subdue Chambersburg, 70-56. Reserves win, 41-35. Face Mechanicsburg team Tuesday. SOUTH PENN BASKETBALL LEAGUE LAST NIGHT'S SCORES Hanover 70, Chambersburg 56 Carlisle 60, Mchanicsburg 47 Waynesboro 52, Middletown 50 Shippensburg 68, Gettysburg 46 Hockey Squads To Meet Again Soviet and United States squads battle this evening at Minneapolis in second game of series. Minneapolis UP) The Russians storm the citadel of American hockey today.

Held to an unexpected 5-5 tie by the U. S. National team in Madison Square Garden Thursday night, the touring Russian squad carries its series with Uncle Sam's best amateurs into Minnesota. This is native soil for 10 of the 18 American players. And the University of Minnesota's Williams arena here, where tonight's game will be played, is virtually home ice to the entire team.

The Soviets get here in the midst of a "Minnesota Special," a full-blown cold wave that was expected to send the mercury diving to from 10 to 15 below zero. The international battle will be watched by a crowd expected to fill the arena's capacity. If the Russians were dismayed by their failure to win the series opener the public comments by their coach, Anatoly Tarasov, failed to show it. "Both teams won," Anatoly Tarasov told newsmen in New York after the game. He acknowledged that the American team was definitely improved over the one which lost twice to Russia a year ago.

Nor did the Russians appear outwardly offended by the zest of the American style last night. Four penalties were called on each team. The U. S. offset superior Russian mechanical skills with hard-skating aggressiveness.

The Nationals tonight will be returning to the ice sheet where they spent more than a month in training before the star of their exhibition tour. Six of the Americans goalie Jack McCartan, defensemen Jack Newkirk and Jim Westby, and forwards Dick Burg, Bob Turk and Dick Meredith are former University of Minnesota stars. Paul Johnson, Tom Williams and Jerry Westby also are Minnesotans with no college experience and defense-man Bob Owen is a Minneapolis native who starred at Harvard. Burg led the Yanks in Thursday night's opener with two goals. From here the teams move to Hibbing in hockey-loving Northern Minnesota for the final game of their series.

The Russians play five other teams on their North American tour. 17 Springfield-Williams In Tournament Finals Springfield, Mass. UP) Host Springfield bested Amherst 53-42 in a defensive struggle and Williams turned its height advantage into a 76-65 victory over Massachusetts last night in the semifinals of the Springfield College invitational basketball tournament. They play for the title tonight. In consolation round contests, Harvard, defeated American International 68-61 and New Hampshire downed Middlebury 76-63.

2845-1 YS I 1ITI (TJ North And South In Annual Senior Mobile, Ala. UP) Opposing North and South coaches last night tabbed for starting duties in today's Senior Bowl football game the nation's leading passer this season and his counterpart of a year ago. After leaning to Boston college's Don Allard in practice this week. North coach Joe Kuharich of Notre Dame switched over to Lee Grosscup of Utah as his probable starter at quarterback. Grosscup, who is the first draft choice of the New York pro Giants, led the nation in passes in 1957 with -94 completions of 137 attempts and 1,3398 yards.

He has been bothered by a shoulder injury this season and tapered off to 66 of 121 for 820 yards. Allard also can move the. ball through the air. His passes netted 691 yards for Boston college last season and he was the first round choice of the Washington Redskins, from which Kuharich resigned as head coach to take the Notre Dame post. There was no question as to South coach Paul Brown's starter at quarterback.

Baylor's Buddy Humphrey, who tossed five touchdown passes in the North-South Shrine game at Miami, has been the No. 1 man from the start of practice. Humphrey was the top passer in the country this season with 112 completions out of 195 and 1,316 yards. He was the second round choice of the Los Angeles Rams in the early pro draft. Humphrey will have Bill Stacey of Mississippi State, Don Brown of Houston and Theron Sapp of Georgia operating with him in the No.

1 offensive backfield. Rounding out the North starting backfield are Joe Morrison of Cincinnati, Alan Miller of Boston college, and Norm Odyniec of Notre Dame.

Hirsch is coach of the pro-augmented Hawaii All-Stars who will meet the College All-Stars in the 13th renewal of the game. The former Los Angeles Rams back, who retired after the 1957 season, said he decided to play after Rams halfback Ron Waller pulled, a leg muscle in practice.

The College All-Stars are coached by Duffy Daughterty, Michigan State mentor. MOYEK WINS New York UP) Denny Moyer, unbeaten 19-year-old Portland, welter, won his 19th straight pro fight last night on a split decision over experienced Gasper Ortega of Mexica.

70 to 56. The six-foot, three-inch Ams-pacher, rapidly gaining as much attention on tl.e as he did in football, in 39 points, two short of me South Penn league record, as Hanover scored 53 points in the last half, including 31 in the final eight minutes, Chambersburg, which had enjoyed a two-point edge after a quarter and a comfortable 15-polnt bulge at the half, was completely stunned when the locals struck midwav in the third period and narrowed the gap to three points entering the final period. A foul by Amspacher and a goal by Jim Heilman knotted things at 42 but Bernie Washabaugh put Chambersburg in front for the last time with a twin-pointer. Amspacher then launched an edght-point streak by Hanover and the amazed Trojans were left behind as the aggressive Nighthawks peppered the basket from all angles. Second League Victory For Hanover it was their second straight league victory following two close setbacks and the defeat also leveled off Chambersburg at 2-2 as Hanover, despite its losses, stamped itself as an iron-man title threat.

Coach Fred Kreuter used only six players during the affair while Chambersbure sent in 11 men in an effort to slow down the high flying Hawks during their late rush. Washabaugh contributed 17 points to the Chambersburg total as did Jacobs, who converted 11 of 13 foul efforts. Hanover hit 16 of 24 free tosses while Chambersburg made 18 for 25. Carlisle's defending league champions breezed past Mechanicsburg last night, 60 to 47, for its fourth straight while Waynesboro also remained unbeaten, edging Middle-town, 52-50. Shippensburg clipped Gettysburg dn the other league game, 68-46.
