II Points for
Top Honors
Eagles Use Reserves
After Earning Safe
Edge in Loop Tilt

Reverting to jet-propulsion scor-
ing tactics after a couple of close
calls by Mason-Dixon Conference
rivals, American University,s un-
beaten Eagles poured a steady
stream of leather through the hoop
last night to hand Randolph Macon
a 1888 setback for their seventh
straight league triumph.
The defeat marked the close of a
sad safari for the Yellowjackets,
who bowed to Loyola, Gallaudet and
American on successive nights of a
three-day road trip. 1t also left
their conference win record still be-
reft Of mark.
Lindeman Leads Way.
American, with big Bob Lindeman
setting brisk scoring pace, started
slowly enough, and Cal Orcutt man
aged to keep the Jackets in the run
ming for time with his timely shots.
But the Eagles gradually pulled
ahead and at the half were out in
front by 1915 margin.
Lindeman, Walter Smith, who
tailed nine points. and Hank Pizza,
who tossed in II, really found the
range as the second half opened and
American quickly jumped its mar
gin to 51-21 before the Virginians
made serious gesture toward clos
ing the gap Dewitt Crowell, whose
10 points were second to Orcutt's Is
for Randolph Macon. began ringing
the bell and helped close some
of the ground, but even with A. U.
reserves in the fray couldn't COM
pletely stop the Eagles.
Smart floor generalship by Ameri-
cans oJhnny Poston and the Jack
cts Johnny Buhrman featured the
fray. Poston, unable to hit the rim
himself, set up numerous scoring
plays for his mates and most were
completed. Much of Buhrman's work
was in vain, however, as Randolph
Macon was unable to connect after
he had succeeded in working the ball
In close.
Eagles Use Beanwork.
American played a header game
than it had in its last few games,
working the ball more carefully and
holding its fire until it had an open
shot instead of banging away in
point-crazy style. Ray Love, who
contributed II points, also played a
nice floor game while Bob Miller
came through with a nice bit Of
defensive work. ~
The victory virtually clinched
Mason-Dixon honors for the Eagles.

claim to the league crown in the

Nelson Has 81 Roun|
For 3-Stroke Lead
Al Corpus Christi
BY the Associated Press.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Feb. 3.
Byron Nelson, COLTS automaton,
laid down brides with monotonous
regularity today to ease in with a
7-under par So that gave him the
lead at the halfway mark of the
Corpus Christi 5000 open. He
shot a record d-bettering 129 for 36
holes.
Going ahead of Craig Wood, the
first-round leader, by three strokes,
Lord Byron shot the lowest score
for the distance, clipping one stroke
from the mark made by Wood in
1910. It will not be considered a
record, however, said PGA Tourna-
ment Manager Fred Corcoran, be-
cause the local course IS under 5000
yards and because special teeing- up
rules are being used.
Nelson went out in 33 and came
in with a great 30. He barely missed
10-foot putt on No. Is that would
have given him 81 and a tie for
the best score ever turned in on the
course. The course record, how
ever, was not made in competition
so Nelson's is the all-time low for
such play.
Behind Wood in third place was
Fred Haas. New Orleans amateur
