Last week’s contest was a
cliffhanger in which the Car

team in the second quarter after
Parma had opened up a 17-9 ad

terwards, the lead changed
hands many times, and the edge
was never more than a few
points.
At halftime, the score was
31-31. Things were nip-and-tuck
throughout the second half, and
both teams were hurt by fouls.

admitted to Honors College and
to a special pilot group in the
College of Literature, Science

The score was knotted at
54-54 when a technical foul was
called on Shaw and Parma
made the shot for a one-point
lead.
But with only a minute left,
the Cardinals’ Mike Malec put
through two free throws to give
the edge back to Shaw. The
Redmen couldn’t score again,
and Tim Shoda iced it w-ith tw»
more foul shots in the final
second.
Shoda was one of three men
in double figures for Shaw,
scoring 12 points. Jim Smalley
led with 15 counters, while
picking up 13 rebounds, and
Mike Mulec added 13.
