The rough and tumble affair before the largest crowd this season was marred by a fists winging incident between sparkplug Eduardo Cabahug of the Lancers and Ace forward Maximo Pizarras of the Warriors after a wild scramble for the ball at the early stage of the second half. Both went to the showers for the misdemeanor. Determined to come out the victor in this either-you-or-I encounter, both teams started with their first stringers. After tip-off it was evident that Coach Dodong Aquino had cooked up a new variation. Canizares carried the ball down to the front court and called the play with a weave and screen offensive pattern. Pizarras drew the first blood with a quartercourt jumpshot. Baz, countered with a long heave to level the score 2-all. The Warriors precision play kept them on the initiative as the Lancers matched them shot for shot with a blistering fastbreak counter-attack. Aquino sued for time to align his defense and after three minutes of play, the Warriors built up a 7-point lead with skipper Reynes booming with his tricky manipulation from under. Galdo, the hottest Warrior that night drove and layed up, Pizarras jumped and Palmares layed up from the sides again stretching the lead 25-12. The Lancers recovered their bearings however as Eddie and Boy Cabahug combined magnificently to tie the score 32-all, 35-all and 37 all. Macoy grabbed the driver’s seat for the Warriors with a last second twist shot, 39-37. Second half hostilities commenced with Eddie Cabahug stalemating the score once again with a trapeze shot. Boy Cabahug jumped, Rojas waylaid his guard to score successively with a driving lay-up shot 45-39. Galdo and Canizares broke the rally with a jumpshot at the shaded area and an undergoal boom 45-43. E. Cabahug jumped from the sides, Reynes feinted and layed up and Galdo charitied twice to level the score 47-all. Tempers flared up at this stage of the game as Baz missed a jumpshot. Pizarras recovered the ball and sandwiched, he tried to free himself with a pivot and then drove into Cabahug’s swinging arms. Pizarras was hurt, cocked his fist, Cabahug retaliated and there was the whistle ending a brilliant performance of the duo that evening. With the disqualification, the Lancers were not on their ownself again. Guillermo Baz, the Chile veteran, bullied himself around with all sorts of tricks. Page 22 ON THIS SIDE Karatl? Judo? Nope, none of the sort. It's plain basketball —Guillermo Bas version. Bas of UV is "famous" internationally for his spitting antics (Chile), and pinches of the "thing" below the belt. Galdo and Palmares caught fire and stormed the hoops of the beleaguered Lancers with much consistency. Rojas and Boy Cabahug countered with cattered shots and USC led 68-58 three minutes before guntime. The rampaging Galdo played brilliantly with numerous interceptions to his credit which ended with a field goal. There was no stopping from thereon as Galdo, Reynes and Palmares kept on scoring at will to finish the game 87-74. IN THE MINOR LEAGUES OF THE CCAA: The USC jersey-clad shinbusters and the UV Greenshirts deadlocked at one game apiece and a game tied in a two team three out of five series for the CCAA senior football tourney.

With star player Nilo Alazas in the starting line-up USC shaded UV 1-0 in the thrilling encounter. The first half ended in a scoreless deadlock, thanks to the superb goal tending of Jose Sotelo, Jr. At least four breath-taking saves were made in the first half as Solito of the Green Booters outran his guards for dangerous attempts. Inside right Aloysius Tolok turned in the only marker of the day as he surprised the handful of spectators with his powerful 15 yard blast at the 35th minute of the second period.

ECARMA series, both teams tried to score but their respected defenses were impenetrable. Corner kicks and penalty kicks ended up for nothing as the ball went out of bounds. After regulation play at 0-11, a problem cropped up as to whether an extension should be made or half points be awarded to both teams. As agreed earlier the dual tourney is a three wins out of five games series so that the last two games shall be played first before the tie can be resolved by a replay. In Baseball, the USC nine bowed to the strong Maritima Seafarers 11-2. Experience triumphed over youth as the old foggies shone brightly that day by driving seven runs at the first inning.

The CNS schoolboys came in as their next victim when the Golden Sox increased their hitting output 7-3 and insured for themselves a berth in the final round of championship play. In the Cebu Swimming Open, the USC team captured 1 first place, 2 second places and 1 third place as they churned the Miramar pool to give the USC Golden Sharks a fine performance. Ricardo Escarda won the 100 meter freestyle event, A. Garces and Ben Martinez trailed the winners coming in second in the 100 meter butterfly and backstroke events. George Chiong turned in the only third place in 400 meter freestyle. INTRAMURAL SPORTSCOPE In Basketball: Engineering A Greenshirts emerged as the new champion when they clobbered the yellowshirted Finance quintet 78-48. Vengeance was their battlecry as the “A’s” outshot, outhustled and completely outclassed their erstwhile conquerors from start to finish. The "powerplant” eagers displayed their wares as real champions except for a minor rhubarb stirred by an erring player visibly irked by the referee’s decision at the end of the game. Labitan, Yap and Tan provided the scoring punch for the victors as they punctured the hoops from all angles, in spite of the pressing man for man defense put up by the jersey-clad charges of Coach Manolo Baz. In Volleyball: The Secretarial belles were proclaimed crown wearers this year when they swept all opposition in the only skirted league of the intramural season. The games became a battle of stinging shrills as the ball either slipped from butterfingered hands or as the protagonists waited starry-eyed for the ball to come down after a “way-up high” service, and miss the baseline by inches. Altogether the referees had mixed emotions whether to call it “in or out” as more often than not they were met by pleading eyes and loud protests from the other side. No doubt it was the best attended league of the intramurals as the fans (mostly boys) watched wide-eyed as skirts danced up and down and blouses were torn loose when shapely bodies wriggled to meet the ball. It was such a spectacle that it became a lure to sweat-soaked PE students. So don’t miss the second semester games, folks! In Table Tennis (Pingpong): Slim and handsome Emilio Villahermosa tucked in the men’s singles crown as he decisively trounced Bugarin of the Engr. Department. Emma Seno’s soft but sure returns paid dividends as she crowned herself women’s singles champion. In Chess: Recently crowned Patria Champion Oscar Abuzo, a senior student of the “institute of law” and reigning PRISAA secondary champion Benjamin Macapaz were heralded as co-champions as they stalemated with 4% points apiece after 6 rounds of play. “Run silent, run deep” Seigfredo Nadela came in as runner-up when he stunned campus chess enthusiasts with a swift but calculated win over Benjamin Macapaz. USC-UV RETURN CLASSIC: The Warriors blew up a 15-point margin midway in the first half, then held on a 4-point lead until the last five minutes of play and succumbed to the Lancers fastbreak attack in the homestretch, 69-65, before the eyes of 5,000 howling fans in the winner-take-all championship classic. Except for the revenge victory and the appearance of a young and talented benchmentor, piloting the Lancers, the much awaited battle of giants had the same trend as the first encounter. USC kept on the initiative, spurted to a comfortable lead, then their scoring potency sputtered, never to recover their bearings again. There was no change in UV’s blistering fastbreak attack except for the omnipresence of spark plug Eddie Cabahug who made a yeoman job in both offense and defense and the “masterful substitution” of Coach Jose “Dodong” Gullas to keep the scoring punch on his team on the go throughout. These were the highlights: Both teams had their best combination on the floor. As usual Canizares, the tallest eager in the league, beat the Lancer center at the opening jump ball. The well-oiled machine of Coach Dodong Aquino drew the first blood as Julian Macoy scored (Continued on page 25) CHRISTMAS, 1960 Page 23 MY IDEAL MAN (Continued from page 10) The stay-at-home and carefree type is not my ideal man. What then is my man? Well, he must be one who is responsible and quite intelligent to understand me. He must be the Adonis type with a crew cut. He must be a good cage player and exemplary student. He must know how to dress properly. He must have a well-modulated voice and be a good dancer to boot. And lastly, he must be a devoted Catholic. ROSA C. GARCIA BSHE I It has been well said that to have an ideal come to reality is a remote possibility because it is beyond the reach of man. But I believe that despite that, one can still wish for an ideal, like say, a man. Well, my ideal man must be handsome, learned, wealthy, well-behaved, understanding, humble and above all a practical Catholic. I give much emphasis on religion because it leads to virtue and to doing things acceptable to God, government and society. SEGUNDA AL. MEDILLO BSEED-HE II My ideal man must have the courage and genius of Dr. Jose Rizal. He must have the honesty of Abraham Lincoln. He must have the wit of Bishop Fulton Sheen and the soothing voice of Frank Sinatra. He need not necessarily look like Rock Hudson or Romeo Vasquez but at least, he must be neat, gentle in his ways and speech, thoughtful, understanding and free of any vice. But most of all, he must be a very good Catholic. DOLORES NACUA Pre-Nursing My ideal man must be religious both at home and outside. He must be educated and intelligent in order that he can hold his head high and nobody throws his weight against him. He must be a disciplinarian to establish peace and order in the home. And lastly, he must be a good provider. A family cannot live on love alone. ERLINDA R. CLAPANO Liberal Arts A chivalric and gentle guy is my ideal. He need not be an Adonis type, but at least he must have the physique to withstand the fury of a typhoon. Re must be sincere in his ways, friendly, considerate and forgiving as to faults. He must be a little bit taller than I am so that I can wear highheeled shoes. And to top them all, he must be a good Catholic who frequents the communion rails. AIDA PEAAFLOR Secretarial I am not putting standards to the man I will marry but to a certain extent I wish I will meet one who has the qualities of an ideal man. He need not be handsome. It is enough that he is presentable. He need not be necessarily rich, but he must have a stable job to support a family. He must be brilliant in his field. He must be a devout Catholic and have a strong love for family and home. He must be resourceful and knows the dignity of labor. He must have a sense of humor and understanding for all possible angles of life. MILAGROS E. CAMILON Commerce II Fl o r d e u s Tu ma l iw a n Liberal Arts Frankly, I am too young to give my opinion about my ideal man. Nevertheless, I believe there is nothing wrong for a young girl like me to be curious about the “what” of my ideal man. In the first place, I am a woman who cannot escape from the clutches of ideals. Really, if my reason will give way to my emotion, my ideal man must be one who likes and loves me without reservation. His likes and dislikes must be in conformity with my own. He must be educated, intelligent and responsible. FLORDELIS TUMALIWAN Liberal Arts My ideal man? Well, he must be soft-spoken, sincere, kind and broadminded. It is not necessary that he be a TDH type, for physical features will wither away by the sincere test of time. What is important is that he be tender in his manners, soft in his voice and most of all cheerful and can make our company lively.

U.V. fitted the same role as they trailed on a Macoy-Reynes-Palmares onslaught on the Lancer hoops 19-11, after 10 minutes of scintillating basketball. Benchmentor Gullas sued for time but it didn’t do them any good as the Warriors boomed with 4 baskets in a row 27-11 after. After a second time out the Lancers nibbled the lead 30-17 as Eddie Cabahug and Ponce returned fire. Skipper Reynes with 2 personal fowls was recalled to the bench and a “bearing” on the machine lost, the Warriors slumped in its production. The Cabahug scoring twins completed numerous fast break plays but still the Warriors hang on the lead 36-32, at half time. The fabulous U.V. trail was the over all picture in the second half as the Lancers matched the Warriors on scattered baskets, until the last five minutes of play when the Cabahug duo triple-slammed to level the score 50-all. The fans were on their feet as the either-you-or-I battle went into its climax. Galdo, on a lay-up shot and Macoy on a quarter jump fought back after another stalemate, 52-all. The score reversed thrice after U.V. snatched the lead 55-54; 5655; 57-56 at the 4-minute mark. Macoy stalemated the count for the last time 59-all on a charity conversion. Baz, a court demon, scored successively on layup shots and it turned out to be the hardest blow on the hapless Warriors and time ran out to close the game 69-65. The dream game of the season turned out to be a lively classic as in a detective show where the “eye” (Lancers) keeps on trailing the culprit (Warriors), collar him and beat him to the draw at the end.
