Scoring a colossal upset, the Seattle University Chieftains surprise the Harlem Globetrotters, 84-81, at the Hec Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle. The charity exhibition game, set up by jazz legend Louis Armstrong, provides a national showcase for “the Gold Dust Twins,” Eddie and Johnny O’Brien, who maintain a relentless fast-break attack and hand the Trotters a rare defeat. Guard Johnny O’Brien, 5'9", leads all scorers with 43 points in a game played strictly on merit, not given to the Globetrotters’ usual flights of comedic fancy.
