Eagles Cop Intracity Cage Title Overflow Crowd Sees Wirephoto Finish; Schaffer Gets 21 The O’Neill Eagles continued to ®etgn as the intracity basketball crihampions by defeating the St. IMarys Cardinals, 55-52, in their uanmal clash Friday night Before a packed house the two ttearos battled to the wire with She Eagles holding *a slight edge aHaer the first few minutes. The 59b£s, using a well-balanced scor ms;E' attack, held an 11-point ad vantage at one time during the aanond period but settled with a 25?-22 halftime score. Coach Elmer Murman had moaned earlier that he feared his kids wouldn’t have suffi cient hustle. Murman’s worries were un founded. They showed plenty of go. Going into the final minute of play, the Eagles still had a five point lead only to see it cut to one point with 10 seconds remain ing. Jim Johnson hit two free throws to put the Eagles on top, 55-52, when the game ended as the Cardinals failed to get anoth er shot. Four Eagles scored over 10 points with Larry Conarro lead ing the scorers with 16, as well as being top rebounder. Cardinal Dave Schaffer was the evening’s top scorer with 21. He received able assistance from Jim Becker, who scored 14 points besides playing a good floor game. Jim Foelich was third high for SMA with a score of 10, Coach Don Templemeyer was without the services of Tom Head, who was on the shelf with a bad leg. Head is regard ed as a stabilizer for his mates both on the court and on the grid. It was the seventh straight year the Eagles have gained pos session of the intracity crown. The O’Neill reserves won the opener from the St. Mary’s sec ond string, 27-25. Merle Jones paced the Eagle seronds with 12 points, while Tom Schneider got eight for St. Mary’s.
