Manila, Jan. 19.
Staging a spirited second half rally, the Seattle Amateur Athletic Union basketball team composed of former University of Washington players tonight beat the All-Japan university squad, 33-27, before a crowded house at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
The Japanese champions, who lost only one game in eight contests against Filipino aggregations, started out in grand style, setting a furious the first two quarters. They petered out however, in the third and four quarters, especially in the third session when they were completely outplayed by the Americans, who had the advantage of weight and height. Three of the Seattle team players are members of the U. S. Olympic Games tesm.—United Press.
