Picture on Pose All
what has been the most sensa-
tional conference tournament
since West Virginia first moved
to the top by beating George
Washington in overtime in
1855.
There hasn't been anything
even approaching a dull or slow
game so far. To open the
semifinalS last night, William
& Mary ended the Noun
taineer's six-year stay on the
summit by winning a tense,
rough game, 1916.
CIV Upsets Citadel
1t almost was anticlimactic
when George Washington upset
The Citadel. 94-S7. with a
comeback only a shade less
exciting than the one of the
night before.
1t was easier for the Colonials
this time. In the first round
they came from 16 points back
and got ahead only "a seconds
before the end to upset Virginia
Tech. Last night they were
IL points behind and took
charge for the last time with
more than two minutes left.
Tonight the expected crowd
Of 5000 almost Is certain to be
pulling for William g. Mary,
the likely favorite off two vic
tories over CIV this season. The
Indians certainly were the
darlings last night when they
grabbed a five-point lead just
before the half and hung on
determinately to stop the
Mountaineers, who had taken
19 straight tournament VIC
tories and 13 straight games
this year.
The comeback kids Of CIV
have their friends, however,
those they've earned with their
calm play under pressure and
refusal to acknowledge defeat.
MarkOwitz, Feldman Star
GW's stars against The
Citadel were those old reliables,
Dick Markowitz and Jon Field
man. Markowitz was top
scorer with "a points, 20 of
them in the second half, and
he played the last 25 minutes
with four fouls. Feldman con-
tributed % points, calmly get
ting 13 of IA from the free
throw line. He made his last
eight straight under extreme
pressure in the final minute
and a few odd seconds when
the Bulldogs were trying des-
perately to pull the game from
the fire. Feldman controlled
the ball, and they had to foul
him to get at it.
CIV was IL points behind at
1881 late in the first half, but
baskets in the last Is seconds
by Larry USiskin and Feldman
made it a more respectable
nine-point deficit of 47-38 at
intermisSion.
Returning to the floor, CIV
got the tipoff, Markowitz
scored an immediate layup, and
the Colonials were rolling.
Daniels Troublesome
1t wasn't easy-the Citadel
had a 34-point scorer in Gary
Daniels. and he almost, alone,
kept CIV from getting ahead.
Finally Feldman gave the Co.
lonialS a momentary lead of
74-73 with two free shots with
5:55 left.
For the next three minutes
the two teams had it hot and
fast with four exchanges of
the lead and four ties, but with
2:38 left, CIV went ahead to
stay, 84-83, on a layup by
Markowitz. He scored a min
ute later. Then sophomore
Don Ardell, hero of the previ-
Gus nights victory. connected,
and Feldman paraded success
fully to the foul line to keep
the Colonials in front.
Exciting as was this CIV
game. the W&M victory was the
big one last night. Coach Bill
Chambers called 1t the greatest
win in his four years with the
Indians. and he was right. He
got the tournaments top in
dividual performance so fal
from big jeff Cohen-38 points
and 19 rebounds.
The Indians used a slow, de-
liberate attack in the first hall
and speeded it up in the second
half to wreck the Mountaineers
all-court press, until then the
