Behind 22-19 at the half, Duke clung on tena- ciously and, with 50 seconds to go, cut Navyls jealously guarded lead to two points. Tension ran like electric current through the packed stands. A sharp pass into the corner found Harner, Duke guard, momentarily in the clear. He shot and, in silence that rang on the eardrums, the ball hit the rim, hung on, and fell off. Seconds later, Navy took charge, made a free throw, and then froze the ball to eke out a 45-42 victory. Longnecker and Elliott, playing hard, driving basketball, were instrumental in the victory. The entire Navy squad contributed to the defeat of Hampden-Sydney, 51-28. Howe, Carrol, Mayer, Zech, and Duden followed the starting ive and continued Navy's scoring ways until they were removed in favor of Rahn, Gorslinc, McMurray, Bowler, and Ellenbrand, Penn State's zone defense crumbled and fell before the barrage of swift, short passes executed by the Navy varsity. Handling the ball smoothly and surely, the Navy team succeeded in controlling the ball inside the Penn State defense and Hnally in riddling the zone with basket- producing passes. Fast breaks and leisurely set shots characterized the Navy play as the Big Blue team went out in front early and won by 46-26. Longnecker, Back, and Mcliay paced the Navy scorers for the day. The Navy team was handed a rude scare by the Vill- anova five. Trailing 21-ll at the half, Villanova surged ahead early in the third quarter to tie the count.

The Captain-Alex Juzimi Drawn, grit and grace THE gym season this year brought forth a new set of rules for Eastern Collegiate teams. The change rnade team- work foremost instead ofthe individual. In each event, three men from one team competed against three mem- bers of the opposing team. The judges decided which performance was the best, and that team was awarded one pointy therefore, the total score for a meet could not be greater than six to zero. The new system of judging was designed to add more color and spectator interest. This year's squad was among the best at the Academy for many years. The gyrnnasts were ably led by Captain Alex Julian, whom Coach Phillips considered the best side horse man in the country. Other outstanding men were Rankin, Hecker, and Pitt on the rings, Farris and Davis climbing the rope, Spangler and Dunning on the horizontal bar, Watson and Dougherty on the parallels, and tumbler Dinwiddie. The climax of the season was the Eastern Collegiate Championships which were held at the Naval Academy.
