It matched (and in a sense j surpassed because Plump hit hU | shot) the 1953 final in which Har-| ley Andrews’ shot missed and South ! Bend Central s 42-41 victory over ! Gerstmeyer was maintained, j Butler university Coach Tony | Hinkle, for whom Wood played bas-»ketbali, said the fact that Plump | hit made Wood a genius but what j if Plump had missed? Tony was | the first to admit Plump didn’t \ miss.The other phase of the stall is that everyone knew it was Wood’si decision and that he would have/shouldered the entire blame had it j not paid off. It did pay off and j Wood gave the team the credit.Milan scored only nine points in I the last half while Mtmeie was get-I ting 13. There were only three of-j tensive errors by Milan and four| by Mtmeie (two in the fatefulj fourth quarter.)j It was the lowest scoring game j since Washington In 1942 took the I title from Muncie Burris, 24-18.I The word “low” with regards to the game applied only to the score, j The game was strictly “high” in ; pressure and class from beginning f to end.
