Basketball This year marks a rebuilding span for Coach Clower's "hoopsters", as it is for other sports on the "Hill". The team found rough sledding for the first six games. But spirits rose as the Terror cagers defeated the Alumni 79-64, as well as trimming Towson State 70-63. The Alumni game marked the return of such Ter- ror stalwarts as "Bill" Spaar, "Walt" Hart, "Jerry" Phipps, "Ed" Eliot, and "Buzzy" Lam- bert. David Martin's twenty-one points led the varsity against the Alumni, as did his twenty- eight points against Towson. Martin, a fresh- man, is expected to prove a strong nucleus for future Terror teams. Martin's seventeen point average at the start of the season was supple- mented by David Sullivan's 10.2 mark. Sopho- more Jim Brown also exhibited fine hustle in the early season tussles. Amusement was added to the games by referee Charles Eckman, for- mer N.B.A. official and coach of the Fort Wayne Pistons. It was he who named coach Clower's second string unit "Chinese Bandits "Bill" Bruce singing, "Whenever I'm all alone, II" and "Pony Express". I whistle a happy tune." 144
