The franuc winaup to the Mountaineers' 6-75 triumph over Villanova at Philadelphia Wednesday night came when 6-foot, 10 - inch Lloyd Sharrer connected with a 10-foot jump shot two seconds before the final buzzer.

Three of the five games involving Hoosier teams Wednesday night were forced into overtime, but the ICC clash at Rensselaer took the spotlight. It was a thriller all the way. with the Pumas building up a 12point lead with 13 minutes to go.

A last-second Butler try to tie the score failed when Keith Greve’s lay-up missed. 4t was the sixth straight time that Butler was beaten at St. Joe which now spoils a 3-1 loop record- Greve took scoring honors with 22 points. Little Dan Rogovich topped the winners with 18 Indiana State of the ICC beat Hanover of the Hoosier Conference at Terre Haute in overtime. 57-52.

CHICAGO (UP) — Sugar Hart, , rated ninth among the welter- - weights, beat a fighter with a i better ranking Wednesday night. , but his manager, Marty Stein, reI fused to believe the triumph would move him closer to the 147-pound title.“You'd think this would help our rating.” he said, “but I don't know whether we're not in with the, right group or what, but we don’t to be getting up the ladder. u But Stein wasn’t concerned about that prospect because he declared, “you can’t stop this fighter,’’ who is 20 years old and who already has won 23 of 27 pro bouts with 19 knockouts. Wednesday night’s victory came over Larry Baker, eighth-rated by tile National. Boxing Assn., and it was as convincing as the 2-1 odds making Hart the favorite before the bout Referee Frank Sikora and judges Howard Walsh and Harold Marovitz gave Hart 49 of a possible 50 points, and he would have had a perfect score except for i low blows. Sikora and Walsh penalized him in the sixth round for the fpul punches and Marovitz also gave Baker that round. It was the onlj round Baker won in the 10-round encounter.

A tipoff came when the proposal approved by the NCAA council, ran into oppositioii o when it was presented to delegates at the closing of the NCAA’s 52nd annual convention Wednesday. The plan, which will be placed for final adoption at the 1959 convention, would allow the Army, Navy and Air Force Academies to continue sending promising athletes to prep schools.But Edward J. Knapp of Texas Western College, Paul Mackesey of Brown and Ken Fairman of Princeton voiced opposition to the plan to go easy on the service schools because of their stiff entrance requirements. Knapp said the academies should seek high class students who wouldn’t require more than four ears of schooling. Mackesey suggested that when the amendment is circulated officially it should be put in two parts, presumably so that those ipposc-d to an except ion for the academies wouldn’t have to vote against the rule as a whole. Fairman said he was opposed flatly to the “Naval Academy's present program,” which includes using athletic department funds for the tuition of prep school athletes. iowlina Score* American Legion League Mies Recreation won three from Fawbush, First.
