In a rough and tumble game held at the Bunker Hill gymnasium last night the Oakville Terriers dc. feated the Watertown Bulldogs by a slim margin of 34 to 3S. Tn this game Robert Brophy, a tall and muscular young Negro led his team to victory scoring 8 baskets. Several times he Skilifully maneuvered him- self Into position in order to take the ball from hls man.
 This he succeeded in doing, in this way making baskets. This man has all the possibilities of a good player. On the opposing team Duncan was high scorer of the night. making ( baskets. He also turned in a good defensive perform ance.
 One oddity of the game, was that all of the technical fouls were not observed. Thus I call this game a free for all", but just the same 1t was a very interesting game. It was composed of four i0-Hninute periods, each period bringing more excitement than the other. In your reporters opinion the Terriers ought to go very far this season. And if the Bulldogs develop a much bet- ter defense and @ faster moving team they should be much better in the future. The Terriers had oc- operation, the Bulldogs didn't and the best team won.

Lambert Trophy Goes to Rams as Best Eastern
 Team of l04l Season
MY WEFLxAnF TUCKER

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Dec. 4,-(UPt--Maybe the fates that hover over the foot- ball fields held caucus ana decided that Fordhafa should never 60 to the Rose Bowl.
 That theory receives strong sup- port ifl the latest announcement from the Jesuit school overlooking New Works teesnlng Bronx, to wit, that last Sunday morning Fordhanl received an invitation to Pasadena just an Slnlucky eight hours after the Rams had committed thefn- selves to play Missouri in the Sugar Bowl.
 It was the pay-ofs. For 10 long years FordhaSn's battle cry has been "FTom Rose HiA to Rose Bowl and for 10 years the Rams have been denied fllfiiiment of their dream, The teams have been consistently good under Sleepy Jim Crowley's coaching but incredible iipsets and perhaps e sprinkling of Bowl politics have kept Fordhafn east Of the Great Divide.
 Remember
 Ono year underrated Georgia came up and tied the Rams when their line was known as the seven Rocks of Granite" Another time N. Y. U, knocked them from the undefeated ranks i1 the last game of the season, Last year gt. Marys dealt the un- kind cut when 1t seemed Fordhafn was q sure shot for the Rose Bowl.
 This season the Rams won their early games handiiy and the chant began to float once more from Rose Hill. Then the team suffered c hu- initiating i3 to 0 defeat by Pitt eleven that had lost oil It's previous five games.
 Tilo defeat might have been exs pected to quiet the Rose Bowl talk once and for ali but this season nearly every team was taking q beating. When F'ordhafn won iU final two games tho fever returned. After oregon State won the western Rose Bowl role Saturday, FCFdhatE kept it's collective ear cooked t0wAra Corvallis, Ore, most of the night but when nothing had been heard by q a. m. Sunday the Rams closed q deal with the Sugar Bowl. Then, ct 9:30, oregon State got on the wire and rendered the invitation.
 Second Ch0gce
 FordhaEa declined with regrets and oregon State subsequently chose Duke. The regrets were moro than intercollegiate nicety. Fordham is going to New Orleans but a bowl by any other name that Rose is fist SO sweet to the Rams, even # the name is Sugar.
 FoFdham can take some soiace in receipt of the Lambert trophy afls nually awarded to the unofsicla! champion of the east. The Rams were named top team by 20 Of 6i editors, sports writers and afis fiouncers boiled on the award. Navy placed second with 10 votes and LII. beaten, united Duquesne was third with seven.
