Dayton Loses For 4th Time In NIT, St. Joseph's 3rd
Hook-shooting Charlie Tyra paced the speedy Louisville Cardinals to a record 93-80 victory over the Dayton Flyers Saturday to win the National Invitation Basketball tournament in Madison Square Garden.
Uhl Gets 19
Dayton came back after a bad start to lead at the half 45-44, but the Cardinals got tough in the second and with tight defensive play and the deadly accurate Tyra working the post for 27 points.
Uhl's teammate Jim Palmer was Dayton's high scoreer, hitting 21 points in the first half on long shots, before Cardinal guard Bill Darragh's pressure held him scoreless in the second.
The game started as a contest between shooting aces Tyra and Palmer, with Dayton pulling up in the last minutes and finally edging past Louisville by one point just before the half.
Dayton Falls Apart
When Flyer Jim Paxson fouled out, shortly after the second half began, Louisville team-play smothered the best efforts of the demoralized Dayton squad. Dayton's effective outside shooting diminished in the second half, and Cardinal Jerry Moreman hit 10 free throws to further dampen any hopes Dayton might have still had in the closing minutes of play.
In the consolation game, St. Joseph's of Philadelphia won third place and set an N.I.T. record, scoring 31 successful foul shots, by downing St. Francis of Brooklyn 93-82.
St. Joseph's built a comfortable 58-38 lead in the first half, and easily held their advantage throughout a rugged, fast-breaking second period. $ \cdot $
Klaus First In Golf Qualifications
Lloyd Klaus took first in the varsity golf squad qualification last week on the Lawrence Country Club course.
A total of 232 strokes for the 54-hole meet gave Klaus a four-stroke margin over Jim Davies, the early leader, and Bill Sayler who tied for second with 236.
Ed MacGee fired a pair of 38's for a final 76 to finish fourth with 240 and a final-round 80 by Tom Phoenix placed him in fifth place with 247.
Although exempt from squad qualification, Bob Richards, defending Big Seven champion, played the best golf, firing a 69 par 216 for the 54 holes.
Bill Toalson finished first in the freshman competition with a 232 to 79 Wayne Manning finished second with 238 and Bob Wood third with 244.
Qualifying rounds for the southern road trip the first week in April will begin today.
Johnny Vander Meer, lefthand who pitched two consecutive no-hit baseball games for the Cincinnati Reds in 1938, never won a World Series game.
The lowest point total ever to win the NCAA national tournament individual scoring title is 39, made in 1940 by Howard Engleman of KU.
Russell Gives Dons 2nd Title
EVANSTON, III. (UP)—San Francisco's unbeaten Dons held the NCAA basketball title for the second straight year today, but it's a mistake to declare that the team won it.

Instead give credit to 6-foot, 10-inch Bill Russell, a defensive genius who can also score points when his team needs an edge.
That was the tab hung on the Dons. All-American center for the past two years, by both his own coach, Phil Woolpert, and Iowa's Bucky O'Connor. Russell scored 26 points and grabbed 27 of San Francisco's 60 rebounds. Iowa picked up only 48 rebounds.
Everybody has a best "camera angle." A little patience in posing a subject will always flatter them. Hixon's has several inexpensive booklets that will help you make better pictures.
Russell, though the standout of the title game, had to share honors for the night and the tourney with Temple's flashy guard, Hal Lear, who set three tourney scoring records to spark the Owls to a 90-81 victory over Southern Methodist for third place in the meet.

Wilt Calm About New Rule
CHICAGO (UP)—Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain is going to have a problem next year that his giant predecessors Bill Russell and Bill Uhl didn't have to contend with on the basketball court.
With the new rules in effect next year, KU's seven-foot Chamberlain won't be able to tip in a basket after one of his teammates shoots at the basket until the ball either hits the backboard or the rim.
(Editor's note: When asked for some comment on the new rule, Chamberlain asked "Has it become a rule yet?" When told that it would go into effect next year, his lone remark was "Yes, I guess it will affect my playing somewhat.")
The rule won't prevent Chamberlain, however, from taking a pass by a teammate near the basket, and then dunking it in. If the referee decides a player is passing the ball to Chamberlain near the hoop, it's okay for him to take the pass and dunk it.
A second new rule was brought on by Uhl's specialty of tapping in a teammate's missed free throw for two points. This rule won't allow a player to move into the free throw lane until the ball has hit the back-board or the rim.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP)—The fifth annual East-West Shrine basketball game for crippled children rates as a tosup today, even though all-American Bill Russell of San Francisco is playing with the West.
Russell is teamed with K. C. Jones, the other San Francisco all-American, on a squa handled by Floyd Stahl of Ohio State.
Shrine Game Rated Tossup
The East doesn't have a Russell but boasted the NCAA scoring leader, all-American Darrell Floyd of Furman, and a host of other talent, including all-American Si Green of Duquesne.
Four of the 20 players are under six feet; Pachin Vicens of Kansas State is only 5-9, and Freeman, Vic Molodet of North Carolina State and Dallas Dobbs of Kansas all stand 5-11.
Of the 42 places on last summer's NCAA All-America track team, 15 were filled by athletes representing schools who are members of the Pacific Coast Conference.
