...packed the pool balcony in the Indoor Athletic Building went properly berserk with joy. Bruin Coach Leo Barry's bald pate glistened with glory as he cavorted in the pool after his team had celebrated the victory by the traditional coach-ducking rite. George Gibbons, Bob Schaper, and Matt Soltysiak, the Bruin heroes, were mobbed by wildly enthusiastic teammates, and a squadron of reporters was besieging everyone with questions.
