His total of 435 points still is tops after Ted Bean of Valparaiso tallied only 14 points In hl* final game last night to wind j up with an aggregate of 388 for the year. Bean was expected by many observers to usurp Jean's dominance , of offensive honors after Valparaiso was chos* n to participate in ' the national Intercollegiate tournament at Kansas City. But Valpo's ; elimination by East Washington college of education laot night destroyed Bean's chances of overtaking th, Hanover star. Jean’s 47-polnt lead over Bean is even more impressive when analyzed. It represents an av* rage ;1 27 3 points per game in 16 contests.
