Soph Smacks Hinkleman Five On Free Throw

By FRANK ANDERSON Wabash didn’t have. its big bass drum to beat on last night in Butler Fieldhouse.

But Butler's Bulldogs were handy, so Wabash beat on them 60-58. | If it had been well-played, the game of basketball might have been a thriller. Instead victory was just an accident waiting to happen. Unfortunately for. Butler the accident happened to Wabash. A Little Giant sophomore, cool as-the temperature outside,

was the de-icer. » " ”

Washington, PC Champs, Edge Gophers, 53-01

By United Press MINEAPOLIS, Dec. 22—Washington, fifth-rated college basket-| ball team in the nation, was out-|

Minnesota 55 to 51 tonight. Minnesota, upset winners over mighty Kentucky last week, | pressed Washington throughout in a nip and tuck game. Wash. | ington’s height proved too much! for the Big Ten school, however. Bob Houbregs, Washington's 6foot 8-inch center, hit eight field, goals and nine foul shots for a total of 25 points. Freshman Chuck Mencel, who|

Minnesota. But accuracy at the free throw line netted the defending Pacific Coast champions enough extra points to win. With Mencel consistently hitting free throws, Minnesota threatened to walk off with the game in the closing minutes, but Washington grabbed the lead and stalled out the last two minutes.

Hurricanes Win, 70-60, On Damp, Slippery Floor

The University of Miami Hurricanes knocked off Nebraska, 70 to 60, here tonight in a slippery game which saw team play suffer because ‘of a damp floor laid over a skating rink. Miami jumped off to an 8-2 lead in the first two minutes, piling up 40-27 by halftime. Shortly after the second half began, the Huskers caught fire

Bill Johnson and Stan Matzke. At one point they were only six points behind, but after a 10-min-ute stretch of only one field goal the Miamians recovered to build ¢ up their lead.

Bradley Gains 79-66

Victory Over N. Carolina PEORIA, Iii, Dec. 22 (UP)— Bradley jumped into the lead early in the game and rolled te an easy 79 to 66 win over North Carolina tonight for its fourth win in eight games. North Carolina's Al Lifson got 22 points, but the Bradley attack was too much for the Tarheels, Buzz Ott was high man for Bradley with 18 points, 15 of them coming in the first half.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 22 (UP)—|

2 8 : {

” THE GAME had its moments.| The most exciting of them came in| the last three minutes. Burdsall’s set shot got a 56-56 tie for Butler at 2:15. And Wilbur Zobbe’s tip-| in gave Butler a short-lived 57-56 lead at 1:12, After that Tucker flexed his muscles in preparation for Burdsall’s fifth foul. Burdsall| didn’t disappoint him, Thus Wabash put its fourth straight win into the record books. The Little Giants now stand 5-2 cn the season. The loss was Butler's fourth in five games. In some quarters (not in Crawfordsville, the Little Giant homeland),! the decision will be regarded as! an upset. » " 2s THE SCORE was tied 11 times before Tucker hit the big point. Most leads of any consequence belonged to Wabash. The Little Giants led, 16-14 at the first buzzer, 31-29 at the half. Butler on a hook by Harry Porter, gained a 45-45 tie as the third period ended. More accuracy at the free throw line would have saved the befuddled, disorganized Bulldogs. Butler missed 17 of 27 chances at the free throw stripe. Wabash cashed in on 26,0f 34 attempts, # ” 2 BURDSALL, the Bulldog hero, was also the Bulldog goat. He missed eight of 13 free throws. However, his 21 points show that he wasn't loafing. Shorty is strong, but not strong enough to carry a ball club on his back. That's just what he tried to do

last night. Most other Bulldogs |
