Opening the championship game With a perfect undefeated record, the Phi Delts and the Susies fought “tooth and toenail” for the first eight minute quarter and Lutheran Five Wins Playoffs The “rags-to-riches” Lutheran Student House basketball five .Stormed the championship heights last weekend and carried off two trophies in four games. After a mediocre regular season in which they barely clinched eighth place and a playoff slot in the YMCA-Church League tourna ment, the Lutheran Student House caught fire and swept through to the Eugene-Springfield area championship. In the quarter-finals they knocked off the second place team in the league, followed that up with a victory in the semis, and then astounded the hundreds of spectators at Eugene High school gym last Thursday night with an upset win over previously unde feated St. Mary's for the title. Tip until that game St. Mary’s had j -carved out a victory string of 20 straight games and had twice de feated Lutheran House during the ixgular season. It was big Jack Heacock, for mer Springfield high star, who was the hammer in the Luther' House offense. Big Jack poured in 30 points, 14 points, 22 points, and' 28 points in the four game tournament run. Backing up Hea <ock in the scoring department; was Dick Schlosstein, who, to-! gether with Jack, monopolized the backboards as well as the scoring column. Bud Backen, freshman V.Testler from Roseburg, and Jim my Johnson, second baseman on the Oregon baseball team round ed out the starting five along with Arnie Levin. Seattle U. Enters N.C.A.A.

In the j second quarter the Phi Delta open ed the quarter on a fast breaking lay-in to take a commanding lead of the scoring which they never relinquished. Led by the towering Bob Wagner, who was high scorer for the contest with fourteen counters, the Phi Delta widened the gap to a 20-15 half-time lead. The opening of the third quart er and the halftime break had little if any effect on the Phi Delt five as they continued their scoring spree, outscoring the Susies twelve to eight in that quarter to hold a 32-23 third quarter margin. In the fourth period with the Phi Delts still in command, scoring was at a minimum for Susan Campbell, as they were able to collect but six points, four of these from the free throw lane. The Phi Delts however collected thirteen with Wagner and Lewis Harvey providing the main scoring punch. Much of the credit for the Phi Delt victory should go to guard Gene Lewis who did a remarkable defensive job in holding the Susie's high-scoring Tom Crabtree to a mere five points. Crabtree had caged 21 counters in the Susan Campbell semi-final tilt with Hale Kane. Phi Delt A (45) (29) Sus. Cam. A Hastings (8) ....F.... (4) Carpenter Wagner (14) ....F.
