show last night to overwhelm New

Garden. All thle Bills displayed su-

outstanding. |«i j;
Six-foot-eight Ed, who looks as
if he might snap in half at any
moment, came up with a brilliant
individual performance as the Bills
gained a berth in the Olympic
games trials.!
MacAuley poured in 24 points
before he got tired shooting at
the net and was content to feed
his mates for the buckets that
all but ran the NYU Violets
purple-faced. He was unanimous
ly voted the tournament’s most

Qualifying preliminaries will be
held tomorrow night at 8:00. Can
didates will qualify by times, ex-
cept in the 50-yard dash, in which
they will qualify by places.
There will be no charge for the
preliminaries, bjut there will be a
small admission charge for the
conference finals Which start at
7:30 Saturday evenirtg.
As to the iufinning team, Coach
Art Adamson said, “tye could
win by one point or lose by
twenty.’’ That, however, is proh*
ably an oyer-pessimistic state-
aupt. <|! |
. The meet is definitely between
Texas U. and A&1VL and they are
so closely matched that there prob
