Bob Schlak, Loyola University of Chicago, probably never made a more important point than the one he sank in the final seconds of the De- troit-Loyola game to break a 66-66 deadlock and give the Windy City club a 67-66 win. ln all, Schlak tallied 13 points for his team's top effort. At Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Titans found the sledding tough as they dropped a 74-68 decision to Marquette University. Dan Halllng dribbled three-quarters of the floor and sank the winning basket as the final gun sounded to rescue the Detroiter's victory hopes from St. Louis, 75-74. Oklahoma A8tM, ranked nationally in the number four position, was forced into overtime by Detroit before they captured their l9th win in 20 games. The Aggies' 66-65 victory was a hard earned one. Detroit lost a 59-52 verdict to Tulsa and rebounded in the next test to beat Drake, 66-61. The following two games the Titans received set- backs by Oklahoma A8tM and Tulsa. The Aggies registered a 79-58 win while Tulsa managed a 89-70 triumph. Despite the defeat Guy Sparrow accounted for his 500th point in the Tulsa game. With a dis- mal 9-i7 slate, the University of Detroit pre- pared for the final two tilts on their schedule. Both games added a cheerful note to the club's record as the Titans conquered Marquette, 80-75, and whipped Western Ontario, 70-56. Although Detrolt's ll-i7 record was the worst in the school's cage history, two scoring marks were set by the i953-54 aggregation. Sparrow's 549 points in a single season and the team's lOl point effort against Youngstown are new marks in the cagers record book. Coach Bob Calihan will have this season's starting line-up intact next year when the cagers wear the Red and White of the University seeking conquests for the Titans. Coach Bob Calihan, standing, shouts words of encouragement to his team after the quintet successfully foiled the enemy's de- fensive pattern. The team and Coach Bob Calihan prepare for the final minute of play at a time-out session. Detrolt's strategy must protect the club's slim two-point lead. lt did.
