OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 22.
Two teams from, opposite sides
OF the county, George Washing

San Francisco's well-balanced

Klein's Ankle Sprained.
The Colonials may be without
the services Of George Klein to-
night. No high scorer but a
fine back court player and bali
handler. Klein is the one gen.
orally responsible for setting UP
GW's plays. He received a
sprained ankle last night.
George Washington led all the
way against Tulsa but at times
appeared tired. The Colonials
had a bad night in their field
goal attempts, scoring 10 times
to Tulsa's %, but made up for it
with % of 80 free throws. Tulsa
made is of "a free ones and
committed 10 fouls to GW's Is.
Bob Patterson, q 6-foot-4
forward. kept Tulsa in the game
with q 27-point performance,
while Joe Holup led CIV with
II. Corky Devlin and Joe Pet
cavich each had Is for the
Colonials.
The Colonials started with q
go lead last night and kept in
front largely through ability to
control the backboards. Shortly
before halftime Tulsa closed the
gap to 1886, but a long shot by
Buzz Ciriello with two seconds
left gave CIV a 1926 halftime
lead.
Game Close at End.
At. one point in the second
half the Colonials had a nine
point bulge, but this evaporated
to 63-61 toward the end. At that
point Holup made a two-pointer
and followed with q foul shot
just before the final buzzer.
In meeting San Francisco to-
night, the Colonials go against
a team led by 6-foot-9 Bill Rus
sell, nimble center who hit for
Is points last night. The Dons
played near-perfect game both
on offense and defense and
rocketed to 40-17 halftime lead.
They increased that to 63-29 in
the second half before Coach
Phil Woolpert took out his start
ing players with nine minutes
left.
