Play also became more physical in a basically cleancut game that saw only 12 turnovers. The cagers trailed 53-47 after Hooft sunk an off-balance ten footer. The Crimson drew within two with just over a minute remaining when Irion followed Hill's bucket with a jumper off of a rebound...

A fickle Joan Greenwood finally lands the mass assassin in jail for the one murder he never committed. Bouncing back in his jail cell, though, he chipperly narrates us the story of raucous D'Ascoyne murders. After all, who could regret even betrayal to the tune...
