SMU Coach Sings Blues
Bv UNITED PRESS
Southern Methodist University will throw a poised, balanced and classy crew against San Francisco in the NCAA semi-finals but Coach E. O. "Doc" Hayes is singing the blues about how to stop Bill Russell.
The tremendous team Hayes built up in Dallas was the strongest aggregation to come out of the Southwest in years and proved it by taking the regional crown from Oklahoma City 84-63.
"That Russell," Hayes said, "he knocks your shots away from the basket and knocks in those of his teammates. He's a hard man to handle."
That victory put the Mustangs against San Francisco in the semifinals Thursday at Evanston and will match SMU's 6-foot 8-inch Jim Krebs against Russell, the San Francisco all-American.
If Krebs, a defensive ace, is as worried as Hayes he isn't showing it.
K-State Gridders Headed For Woe
"All we know about Russell is that he's supposed to be an all-American and gets about 25 rebounds a game," he quipped.
MANHATTAN (UP)—Coach Bus Mertes predicted today his freshmen turned sophomores will have a "day of realization" when they meet former Wildcat stars in the annual alumni football game Saturday.
"They ought to learn a lot when they run into men like Joe Switzer and Corky Taylor," Mertes said as he ran the squad through another day of spring practice.
Two more members of the squad, Ellis Rainsberger and Ray Glaze, reported for spring workouts after having served on the wrestling team. The game Saturday will end spring practice at Kansas State.
Selection Of Varsity Netmen Aided By Ladder Tourney
The top money-winning male golfer in 1955 was Julius Boros.
The tennis team is engaged in a pre-season ladder tournament, under the direction of Coach Dick Mechem, that will aid the final selection of a varsity squad for approaching league competition.
Wenger will defend his number-four spot at 4:30 p.m. Friday against sophomore challenger Gene Kane.
The name "ladder" is given the tournament because the player must work his way up by challenging and defeating those above him, in order to secure a varsity position. At the same time, the top-seeded players, who are returning lettermen, must defend their positions against all challengers.
In Monday's ladder playoffs, Jim Whittaker, Highland junior, defeated Dick Glenn, Overland Park sophomore, 6-2, 6-2, for the No. 12 position on the ladder, Roger Alberty, Olathe junior, beat Jim Miller, Kansas City Mo., senior, 6-4, 6-3, for the seventh rung.
Although ladder competition is continuing, Coach Mechem has named Gene Kane, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, as the outstandin- he will fill the vacancy left by the graduation of Don Franklin.
All of last year's five-man team are back, with the exception of Franklin. Bob Riley, the Big Seven singles champion, is rated number one on the ladder. Senior Dave Cannon and junior Paul Bruce Wenger, both juniors, are ranked second, third and fourth respectively.
Davies Leads Golf Rounds
Other varsity golf squad scores reported were Jim Schmittendorf, 40; John Jones, 41; Bill Saylor and Noel Rooney, 42;s; and Ed McGee, Tom Phoenix, and Dick Lee, 43's.
Davies was closely followed by Lloyd Klaus who fired 37 while Mary Nardyz shot a 39 for third position.
Jim Davies paced a field of 14 competitors in the first round of varsity golf squad qualification with a par 36 over the Lawrence Country Club course Monday.
Bill Toalson led the freshman squad qualification with a one over par 37. Other freshman scores included a 41 by Bob Wood and a 44 by Wayne Manning.

Dayton Favored Over Xavier Today In NIT, Niagara Upset
NEW YORK (UP)—Tall, top-seeded Dayton is a solid choice to wallop a Xavier team bereft of its best big man tonight in the quarter-finals of the National Invitation Basketball tournament, but third-seeded St. Joseph's is only even money against Seton Hall.
The quarter-finals got underway with one surprise Monday night as short, scrappy St. Francis of Brooklyn upset fourth-seeded Niagara 74-72 in overtime.
Then second-seeded Louisville made the form sheet look a little better by using its great height and bench strength advantages to trounce defending champion Duquesne 84-72, before a crowd of 6.250 at Madison Square Garden.
Dayton vs. Xavier Tonight
St. Joseph's (21-5) ordinarily would be the favorite in the other game because of its seeding, but Seton Hall (20-4) gained esteem by its 96-78 first-round victory over dangerous Marquette.
Tonight's Dayton-Xavier winner will tackle St. Francis in the semi-finals on Thursday, and the St. Joseph's-Seton Hall winner will face Louisville. At this point, the experts still believe the seedings will hold true in that Dayton and Louisville will tangle in the final round on Saturday afternoon in a rame to be nationally-televised.
St. Francis' victory over Niagara Monday was the closest in the tourney so far and the biggest surprise. Trailing by 14 points twice during the first half, the swift Terriers bobbed home behind and would have won in regulation but for Jim Maloney's push shot for Niagara with four seconds left.
Freeze Pays Off
St. Francis gained possession after one and a half scoreless minutes of the overtime and froze the ball for the final shot. With three seconds left, Danny Mannix fed George Fox for a 15-foot turn-jump shot that won the game.
Diquesne managed to hold off Louisville's height for 38 minutes, rallying from a 10-point deficit to trail by 56-55 at the 7:45 mark. But then Charley Tyra, Phil Rollins and Jerry Foreman scored steadily for
the cardinals to pull away. Duquesne became weighted down with fouls, including four on all-American SI Green, and then couldn't cope at all with Louisville's board strength.
Green took scoring honors with 24 points, but Louisville overmatched this by Tyra with 17, Jim Morgan with 16, Morman with 15, and Rollins with 14.

Klu Out With Back Ailment
Red Sox Defeat Phillies 9-0
TAMPA, Fla. (UP)—Ailing Ted Kluszewski lasted just two innings in his first attempt to play ball this spring. The big home run slugger, who has been bothered by lower back pains that admittedly have the Cincinnati Redlegs worried, appeared in the lineup for the first time Monday but left after two innings. The Redlegs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2, with the help of seven walks in the first two innings.
ORLANDO, Fla. (UP) — The Boston Red Sox handed the Philadelphia Phillies a 9-0 loss Monday as the Philies tested rookie pitchers. Tom Qualters was impressive in holding Boston scoreless for four innings but John Cardwell was hit hard in a seven-run eighth inning.
