...tight man-to-man defense held the Terriers to wild shooting from the backfield and BU's abortive fast break only clicked only when Shepard put in most of his second team at the wind-up the game. Smith and guard Jim Gabler sparked the defense, Smith picking BU passes all around the basket, and Gabler effectively trapping rebounds...

Coach Norman Shepard used a shifting defense--man-to-man on the outside. But to keep his defenders from being screened by the weaving Jumbo offense, he often had them switch men on the outside. This kept the middle so well bottled up that in the first half, Mullaney was the only Jumbo who could break through and score with any consistency.

Palooka is still world's heavyweight champion, and with movies (26 so far), radio, testimonials, etc., is a champion moneymaker ($375,000 a year) for Cartoonist Fisher. Ham expects their friendship to continue for a long...

...Dudley Commuters stand to do better in basketball than anything else this year with a 25-man turnout and the fact that not one of last year's 7-7 team has left. The fast break, with a pivot man and a floating man-to-man defense feature the Dudley play. The fairly tall squad consists of Dave Bishop, John Woods, Brad Ryan, Hugh MacFarland, Carl Marshall, Herb Lewis, and Herb White...
