4 WHITE FALCON Friday, March 17, 1967 AMBASSADOR’S CUP—United States Ambassador to Iceland, the ho- norable James K. Penfield, far left, presented his cup to the directors of the NATO Base and Iceland All-Stars. The cup was presented in ceremonies last Friday because, due to Ambassador Penfield being reassigned, he will not be present at the conclusion of the All-Star competition. The trophy will be possessed by the winner of the five game series until one team has remained dominant for three straight years. If this should happen, the winner will retain the cup perma- nently and a new trophy will be placed into the competition. Jointly receiving the trophy are Marine Captain Jean Cole, coach of the NATO Base team, and Bogi Thorsteinsson, president of the Iceland Basketball Federation. Gunnar Torfason (second from left) chairman of the Reykjavik Basketball Association looks on. At presstime the two All-Star teams are tied at one game apiece. (WHITE FALCON STAFF PHOTO) All-Stars Play At Gym Tonight The National Invitational Tour- nament at Madison Square Garden has a few surprises for college basketball fans. Southern Illi- nois University, located in Car- bondale, Ill., is making all the noise and after their thumping of St. Peter’s of New Jersey, skeptics were beginning to wonder why they were not listed in the national rankings. The puzzling question is still there after the Salukis polished off Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse Duke in quarterfinal action. Southern Illinois has the best re- cord in the tourney at 22-2. Their only two losses came in a double overtime thriller to Louisville and in the last nine seconds to South- ern Methodist University. South- ern Illinois has broken a record that has been standing since 1918, that being for consecutive victories which now stands at 17. "Teacher Jfn The Spotlight Edith Diller, fourth grade teacher at A. T. Mahan is in edu- cation and specially in the over- seas program because of her love for travel. She had already graduated from West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, W. Va., with a pre-law major in political science and a minor in English and psy- chology when she decided to go into teaching. After graduation in I960 she went to Washington D. C. and worked for the Inter-State Com- merce Commission. While here she was influenced by her brother, and a friend, both teachers, to look into education as a career. Edith Diller They told her about the oppor- tunities for travel in the overseas program which instigated her en- rollment in the necessary night education courses to obtain her credentials. While attending night school she accumulated 30 units. After two teaching assignments and four years of experience in the New Jersey school system, Miss Diller applied for an overseas assignment which resulted in her present position at A. T. Mahan. Although she joined the over- seas program because of the op- portunities to see foreign lands, Miss Dillar is not a total stranger to overseas shores. She has made two trips to Europe while a state- side teacher. by Bill Stanley Coach Jack Hartman’s main weapon is Walt Frazier, a for- mer Little All-American. This school has the potential to take the big NIT. Rutgers boasts the nation’s best foul shooter, percentage wise, in guard, Bob Lloyd. Lloyd recently set a NCAA record for most con- secutive free throws with 60. New Mexico received a tourney bid on the basis of their Western Athletic Conference record. Mel Daniels was the top scorer in the WAC. Statistics have proven that New Mexico is vulnerable to a zone defense. Jimmy Walker is the class of the East. Just ask Providence fans or better yet, opponents. Walker has been superb with his play- making and when the offense sags, he takes personal pride in helping the team attain top per- formance. The Friars appearance in the NIT is almost as predict- able as Dec. 25 being Christmas Day. George Stone, who plays for the “Thundering Herd” of Marshall, scored 46 points as his team drubbed Nebraska 119-88. The 119 points is a single team re- cord for the NIT. One thing to be sure of. If you are a college basketball fan, you will enjoy keeping up with the happenings of your favorite team in either the NIT or NCAA tour- naments. A.T. Mahan Closes Basketball Season Richard Dieterle’s first cam- paign as a basketball coach ended March 4, after his Alfred T. Ma- han Vikings lost to the Marines 86—53 at the station fieldhouse. The loss extended Mahan’s winless streak to five. After two defeats by Keflavik (IKF) and Supply respectively, the schoolboys seemed to be up- set minded as they raced to a 20-12 lead over the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron. Then dis- aster struck. A behind-the-back pass by Larry Jensen resulted in a lay-up and Gary Fortner began to swish 25 footers from the cor- ner. Coach Dieterle, commenting on the outcome of the contest, re- marked that the behind-the-back pass surprised his team and the momentary lapse enabled 57th to take a lead which they never re- linquished. Jensen and Fortner paced the 57th scoring while Dan Spillman and Scott Dower were high for Mahan. Trailing 24r21, Mahan made a game of it for a half but then AFI pulled ahead on eight straight points by Ron Quintana. After that, Mike Frasca and Bill Goss began clicking from all over the court. Goss scored 16 points for high game honors as AFI over- whelmed Mahan, 69-43. Howie Warren managed 15 points to lead the Vikings. If this wasn’t enough to add insult to injury, the Marines toy- ed with the schoolboys, rolling up a 15 point halftime, spread.

Warren again led the “big red“ as he scored 22 mar- kers while Ben Cinotto backed him with 15. High point man for the Marines was Bud Powers with 20. Most of his points were made on twisting, driving lay-ups. Overall, the Vikings record was eight wins and 19 losses. Warren scored 378 points dur- ing the Intramural season and hauled in 259 rebounds. Cinotto was next with 278 points while Dower finished with 191 re- bounds. The Iceland All-Stars and the Intramural All-Stars will play at the station field house tonight at 9 p.m. The winner of this game will take a temporary 2-1 lead in the best three of five series. In last Friday’s action the base All-Stars eked out a 66-65 win over the Iceland team. Don Seversen’s sterling defensive play and Tom Shrout’s strong out- side shooting kept the home team close until the final hectic minu- tes when they took a one point lead. The Intramural squad used a controlled stall to maintain their lead and then with only 13 seconds remaining on the clock, Iceland received a break when they recovered a loose ball. Time was called in order to set up for the last shot. With three seconds left, the ball was headed for the net and Iceland looked like they had managed to escape with the victory, but luck was with the Intramural Stars as the ball hit the rim and Seversen controlled the rebound. The remaining schedule for the two teams is as follows: Monday, March 20, 9 p.m. at the station field house and if the fifth game is necessary, Wednesday, March 29, 8:15 p.m. in the Sports Arena at Reykjavik.
