How the mighty have fall
en.
The University of San
Francisco Dons, who. only lost.
10 games in the past four sea
sons, dropped their third in
a row for 1958 Wednesday
night to Texas Christian Un
iversity. The score was 58-56.
The main difference be
tween this year's green Don
squad and the past USF pow
erhouses would appear to be
on the boards. The Texans
out-rebounded the San Fran
ciscans 46-13 in the second
half to overcome a five point
half-time deficit.
The score was tied 13 times
and wasn't settled until Der
rill Nippert potted a jump
shot with 20 seconds to go.
Nippert tallied 19 to lead
the scoring parade while Ron
Cox paced the losers with 16
markers.
Seattle Loaded
But another perennial coast
power, Seattle, appears to be
loaded again this season.
They disposed of their
fourth straight foe by down
ing Pepperdine 83-75.
Seattle built up a 22-point
lead in the second half, but
the determined Californians
kept surging back to keep the
game interesting.
Don Ogorek and Jerry Friz

18 and 16 points respectively
while Pepperdine's Sterling
Forbes led scorers with 22
points.

New York (UPD A hockey
player bucking for second
lieutenant who didn't win his
gridiron letter as a sophomore
was installed officially today
as the year's outstanding foot
ball player.
He is, of course, cadet Pete
Dawkins of West Point. His
status .precludes his accept
ance of the numerous pro
football "feelers" he has re
ceived. !
But he holds the Heisman
Memorial trophy as the cap
tain and sparkplug of Army's
undefeated football, forces.
This is not .to say that
Dawkins, a rangy blond who
packs 197 pounds on a six
foot, two inch frame, may not
eventually turn to pro foot
ball or some other form of
athletic endeavor.
Can't Give Answer
"I have a three year com
mitment with the Army,"
says the embryo infantryman.
"A yes or no decision would
not be very realistic until I
see what Army life is like."
Army rcee to the heights
this fall by employing a brand
new offense designed by
Coach Red Blaik and which
became known as the "lone
some ' end" offense.' Dawkins
revealed that, at first, the
cadet squad was "quite dubi
ous" about it. Blaik was en
thusiastic. '
"It was a case," said Dawk
ins, his blue eyes sparkling,
"of poppa knows best."
Pete, who currently is per
forming as a defenseman on
the West Point hockey team,
chuckles too over the fact that
as a sophomore at West Point
he didn't - win his football
letter. . ' ;
"It wasn't because I was
injured, either' he said, "out
side of 'my feelings being
hurt." ! . .
Ike Was Pleased
There's no reason for such
a reaction now, however. For
as a Heisman winner, Dawk
ins moves into .the class of
A r m y gridiron immortals,
which includes such greats as
Chris Cagle, Monk Meyer, Ed
Garbisch, Doc Blanchard and
Glen Davis. '

modestly. But then, he is

he is the only cadet ever to

Paces Celts
To Victory
United Press International
Bob Cousy is still pulling
the close ones out for the Bos
ton Celtics.
Cousy, hampered by in
juries earlier in the season,
calmly caged a pair of free
throws in the closing seconds
Wednesday night to help
Boston to a 100-97 victory
over Philadelphia and move
the Celtics to within a half
game of the Eastern Division
lead in the National Basket
ball Association.
It was Cousy's 11 points in
the second period that over
came a Warrior lead and
gav ethe Celtics a 47-45 half
time edge. Philadelphia went
on a rampage to score 18 con
secutive points in the fourth
period and pull up to within
98-95. But Cousy iced the
game with his foul shots and
some brilliant ball handling.
Cousy was the Celtics' high
scorer with 23 points. Paul
Arizin, who faltered after a
fine first half topped the War
riors with 25.
Pistons Upset Hawks
In the opener of an NBA
doubleheader at Boston, the
Detroit Pistons upset the St.
Louis Hawks 89-82. The Pis
tons, who finally went over
the .500 mark at 12-11, open
ed a 64-47 lead going into the
fourth period. St. Louis
rallied as Al Ferrari dropped
in four straight baskets, but
the Detroit lead was too
much to overcome.
Walt Dukes and Phil Jor
dan each scored 12 points for
Detroit. Cliff Hagan dropped
in 221 for St. Louis, which
lost its second game in 11
starts since Ed MaCauley took
over the Hawks' reins.
Syracuse beat back a fu
rious last quarter rally by the
Cincinnati Royals to win 97
94 and bring the Nationals
record up to 11-11.
Larry Costello's two free
throws with 12 seconds left
thwarted a Royal comeback
drive that had cut the Syra
cuse lead to 95-94. Costello
and John Kerr paced the Na
