 Gallagher's Purple Eagles, now halfway through their sixth season under him, have scored something like 49 victories in 50 starts at home. Niagara is the team that up- set Syracuse, St. Francis and Man. haitian last spring to win honors in the No 1 district Olympic tryouts, only to lose to Temple, No. 2 win ner. by single point in the playoff
