The Illini, defending co-champions,
never had a chance until the last pc
riod, when, with Lew Dehner, center,
showing the way, they pulled up even.
1t was the second successive con-
ference defeat for Illinois.
Capt. John Townsend's spectacular
shooting and passing gave the Wolver-

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Jan. g.
Bobby Riggs, the Nations No. ?
tennis player, smashed into the Miami
Biltmore Tournament finals today
with a straight-set victory over young
Frank Kovacs of Oakland, Calf,
e3, 10-8, 60.
Tomorrow Riggs plays Bitsy Grant,

who eliminated Elwood Cooke of Port

finals, toppled Don Bulge in last

1895 renewal from Berkeley Bell.
Eighteen-year-old Kovacs, unseeded
despite his No. 2 ranking of the ma
tional Junior list, discovered he is
not quite ready to step in top COM
pany. He put up a stubborn battle
and reached set point once in the sec
ond set.
Grant was not overly optimistic
tonight over his chances of beating
Riggs. The Albanian, rated one of
the greatest retrievers in the game,
has not been in the best of condition.
In addition, he has a fine regard for
his opponent, whom he terms 1.-The
thinkingest player I have ever met.
He thinks his shots out in advance
like fellow who had been playing
the topnotchers for years." Grant
said. Hes good now, but mark my
word, he'll be regarded as great in

'\Ac IItie COllege from the other
end of town, American Uni
versity, brought q punch up
4 from the floor last night to
win a basket ball thriller from Catholic
University, 80 to 3S. in what marked
renewal Of athletic relations between
the two schools.
A crowd Of 1000 fled into the
Brookland gymnasium and If what
they saw wasn't good basket ball it
at least was exciting. Nine times
during the game the lead changed
hands and seven times the game was
tied up.
With only minute left to play and
the American University side of the
gymnasium in an uproar, Catholics
Whitley Ambrose made a dying bid to
come from behind With the score
standing at 80 to IS, the big forward
darted close for a try at the basket
and was fouled. He made it good and
followed moment later with snow
bird.
Again. with the timekeeper's horn
appraised, Ambrose grabbed the ball
and dribbled down the floor, but be-
fore he could shoot it was all over.
Ambrose is Sharpshooter.
A MBROSE emerged as the individual
star. The husky blond boy,
center in football. pocketed seven field
goals and three foul shots for II
points, but his amazing shooting could
not equal the superior passing and de-
fensive play of the Eagles.
Only twice in the game did either
team hold any kind of lead. In the
first half American forged to APPOINT
margin, with the score 1879. and
early in the second period the Cardi-
mails bounced back to take a $500
lead. But for the most part only
point or two separated the quints as
they battled fiercely to draw first
blood in their new rivalry
Hero Of the Eagles was Sam Hickey,
a lean forward with an aim as deadly
as that of Ambrose. 1t was Hickey
who kept the Eagles in the game dur
ing the opening half which ended
with American holding a precarious
1917 lead, and Hickey who did much
Of the whiting when the Cardinals
took the lead at the start of the Sec
ond half and ran up 25-to-20 edge
Cardinals Passing Is Poor.
CATHOLICS bad passing cost the
ball game The football stars,
Irish Carroll, Rocco Pirro and AM
brose were wild with their downcourt
heaves and the Eagles made the most
OF it. The Cards showed little team
work but left the game chiefly up to
Ambrose to win or lose. Whitley did
his share but he wasn't quite enough.
With Catholic leading by $500,
George Brown of the Eagles dropped
a 2-pointer under the basket and Doug
Rogers followed to make it 24-25, with
the Cards still ahead. Then Hugo
Schultze followed with third straight
American score and the Eagles were
ahead, 1925.
Here the game see-sawed, but with
the score tied at 1888 and S minutes
of play remaining the Eagles pulled
away. Rogers sank a 2-pointer and
foul, making it 36-33, and Emerson
Bartlett dropped another big basket.
Hickey's foul, which followed, seemed
innocuous enough at the time, but, it
developed, Sans was the big point.
He made it 1896, Pirro having scored
for Catholic in the meantime, and by
the margin of the foul American Won.
For here Ambrose went into action
again, only to be stopped by the time
