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

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.

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. After
intermission Mahan was their

own worst enemy as they com-
mitted numerous ball-handling
violations. 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.
