bers of Theta Chi “A” basketball
team turned on the steam in the
final quarter of an otherwise
tight ball game to snatch a hard
earned victory from the boys
from SAE.
For the first three quarters the
tide raged back and forth be
tween the two houses, both sink
ing almost impossible long shots
from far behind the key to stay
in reach of victory. The fourth

ball through the netted hoop for
17 points.

the HAEs got a single digit, to
run off with the ball game, 27
