The Trojans played bang- up ball all the Way through, with Gerald Peters, Larry Smith, and Duane Gierke getting that ball in where it counted. Our boys led most of the way with a 7-4 lead in the first quarter and 13-12 at the half. End of third quarter Val- paraiso was ahead 22-21. The last quarter was a thriller with each team going nip and tuck and Ches- terton finally tying at 33-all. With a little over a minute to play, Coach Michel sent in the only substitution of the game, Phil Lindquist, a center. With only two seconds left to play Phil was fouled. The outcome of the game hung in balance-but the tall blonde Lindquist stepped not too calmly up to the tree throw line and let go. The ball swished through the net-and again it was proven that these free throws can win or lose a game. smith got 13 points for Chesterton.
