n the first half of Army's December 1 clash against the Spartans of Michigan I State, Cadet guard Dennis Schlitt buried a 20-foot jump shot from the corner. Although having no bearing on the outcome of the contest (a 76-64 M.S.LJ. victory), the basket represented something far greater than just two points in a basketball game. These two points, Schlitt's first two in over a year, completed his remarkable comeback from near death. "When he hit that shot, we knew that Jie was back," commented Army Head Coach

Free Throws Hobbie returned home on Wednesday after staying overnight at the hospital for observation. He is doubtful for Saturday's battle with the Gaels. "His mother picked him up today (Wednesday) and he is going to rest at home for a couple of days," said head trainer Jim Wilson.
