Page 4 University Daily Kansan Wednesday, March 21, 1956 Dayton Wins In NIT Despite Poor Showing NEW YORK (UP)—The top-seeded Dayton Flyers still were alive in the National Invitation Tournament today but their role as title choice was badly shaken by their poor performance in Tuesday night's 72-68 triumph over Xavier of Cincinnati. The quarter-final victory moved Dayton into a semi-final berth Thursday night against St. Francis of Brooklyn, a smaller but serrapy outfit that must be given a chance to whip the Flyers. Third-seeded St. Joseph's of Philadelphia spurred early in the second half to win in Tuesday night's other quarter-final by a comfortable 74-65 score over Seton Hall. But the Hawks probably will be underdogs in Thursday's semi-final against second-seeded Louisville. Xavier missed 13 of 31 free-throw attempts, including seven first shots on "one and one" penalties. The crowd of 11,231 expected to see Dayton slaughter an Xavier team that, in addition to having lost twice to the Flyers during the regular season, was without its best big man. Instead, Xavier was in charge of the game most of the way and drove to a 44-35 lead early in the second half. At this point, sub Al Sickling replaced 7-foot Bill Uhl at center for Dayton and ran off a string of 10 points that put the Flyers back in the game. Uhl returned with two minutes left and Xavier leading 68-67. The ponderous 7-footer then turned the tide to make up somewhat for his earlier bad showing. State Jucos Drop Openers HUTCHINSON (UP) — Defending champion Moberly, Mo., headed a six team field in the quarterfinals of the National Junior College basketball tournament today.

Mobberly, the tournament favorite, had to battle back from a 39-37 halftime disadvantage to win the first game. Bob Houbregs, formerly of the University of Washington, holds the National Collegiate Basketball Tournament record for total field goals, 57, set in 1953 against Seattle, Santa Clara, Alana, and LSU. Santee On Sidelines Again As Injunction Is Discontinued NEW YORK (UP)—Wes Santee's suspension from track was back in effect today as State Supreme Court Judge Walter A. Lynch prepared to receive further evidence in the suit brought by Santee against the Amateur Athletic Union. That means that, as matters now stand, Santee won't be eligible to run in the Chicago Daily News track meet in Chicago. Under the injunction, Santee had competed in three meets during this indoor season. But Charles P. Grimes, Santee's attorney, said the Marine Corps mile star had not intended to compete at Chicago anyway. Judge Lynch put Santee on the sidelines Tuesday when he discontinued, at least temporarily, the Supreme Court injunction Santee had obtained against his suspension. The AAU scored another victory over Santee Tuesday when Judge Despite winter-like weather, Coach Chuck Mather ran his football candidates through a "spirited" practice Tuesday. Mather said that players were "developing" fast and that he was well pleased with the first two sessions of spring practice. Lynch tossed out the third part of Santee's complaint, namely, that violations of the amateur code for track stars had been permitted so often in the past that the rule now is unenforceable. Mather divided Tuesday's two-hour practice between individual fundamentals and rough team play. Two separate scrimmages were held with four teams working as the first unit. Gridders Hold Spirited Drill 85 Report For MU Spring Grid Practice COLUMBIA, Mo. (UP)—Missouri opened spring football drills with a physical workout for some 85 candidates Tuesday. Coach Don Faurot had 15 lettermen returning from a team that won only one game. "We will have more depth this year than in the past two seasons." Mather said. "This added depth will be our strongest asset." Mather plans to continue the same style of practice until the first full-scale scrimage April 14. Quarterback Jimmy Hunter, who sat out much of last season with a leg injury, apparently has fully recovered and will compete with Dave Doane, the Big Seven's leading passer, for the No.1 signal-calling spot. Yankees Get 5 Hits, Lose 3-2 Yonkees Get 5 Hits, Lose 3-2 The New York Yankees, who had won five games in a row, suffered a 3 to 2 loss, as St. Louis pitchers Luis Arroyo, Larry Jackson, and Gordon Jones set them down on five hits. Mickey Mantle hit a 450-foot home run off Jackson.
