the fight to Zivic throughout the
eight rounds and in one round, the
third, apparently had zivic in bad

Surprising development to come

to take a back seat by Center AL
D'Ambrosio, a lanky flash who works

in 10 points to take scoring honors

1t was D'Ambrosio who turned
the tide last night, after Tech,
spanked by the top forward of the
evening, Alvin Lam, had taken a
3-to-2 lead at the end of the first
quarter. Eastern, however. knotted
the count by halftime, with DAM
brosio tossing in two baskets and
Lamon scoring on a free throw
while keeping the Maroon down to
4 points.
1t was a seesaw the rest Of the
distance. D,Ambrosio added two
more foul shots in the third period,
but Tech slipped in a goal and 1t
was deadlock again. Eastern took
another lead on foul shot by Billy
Graham, but Lam arched in a goal
for Tech just as the gun went of
to tie. it up again.
In the final stanza, the famous
Eastern championship form showed
as the Ramblers picked up eight
points while holding Tech to three
Charnock and D'Ambrosio gathered
ia basket apiece and Lamon came
through with goal and two fouls
to give Eastern the win.
