VALPARAISO, Ind, Jan. IT,
Seven Hoosier giants-none under

sat back and chuckled today at the
wreckage they had wreaked in ma
tional college basket ball rankings.
Their boss, Loren Ellis-only
three years removed from high
school coaching-also had time to
do little gloating over the 65-to-57
beating Valparaiso University hand
ed to a De Paul University team that
envisioned a possible national cham
pionship. 1t was the first defeat
in ID games for the Blue Demons.
"It was strictly power against
speed" Ellis said, "and we had the
power to give us complete superiority
off the backboards. But, man, that
De Paul outfit is fast I'm convinced
It's the fastest team in the country"
Their Height Is Awesome.
The Crusader height is something
