Houston's Cage Hopes Hinge On7-Foot Center
Houston's Cougars, better known in the past for their exploits on the football field rather than the basketball court, proved this year that they can excel in both sports, by edging out St. Louis and Oklahoma A&M to give the school its first Missouri Valley basketball title.
Finishing their regular season with a conference record of 9 won and 3 lost, and an over-all record of 19 won and 5 lost, the Cougars were voted 17th in the nation in last Tuesday's Associated Press poll
Boldebuck All-Valley
Leading Houston into Friday night's semi-final round of the NCAA Western Regionals in Allen Field House will be 7-foot Don Boldebuck, second highest scorer in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference, and who was unanimously named for the second straight year to the MVC all-star team.
Backing up Boldebuck will be forward Art Helms, who was an all-conference second team selection. The starting five will be rounded out by Lupe Lopez and Don Dotson, both having received honorable mention, and Jack Foster, an outstanding ball handler.
The Cougars have proven to be tough while playing on their home court, losing only to St. Louis in conference play. In another game played in Houston, against Oklahoma A&M, they showed they could play ball control as well as score, edging the Aggies 62 to 60, as Jack Foster was instrumental in stalling the ball for the last three minutes of the game.
Defeated Bills On Road Alden Pasche's team also has demonstrated that it is capable of winning on the road, as it beat the St. Louis Billikens in St. Louis 67 to 66.
There is some speculation, however, whether the Cougars can consistently play well away from home after they lost their final conference game to Wichita 82 to 72, even though Boldeuck scored 31 points.
In all probability, Houston's Friday night opponent will be SMU, who plays Texas Tech, champion of the Border Conference, in the regional quarter-finals Tuesday night in Wichita. Even if Tech were at full strength, it would still be the underdog, but at the present their two top scorers, Jim Reed and DuWayne Blackshear, are ineligible, because they competed as freshmen.

K-State Drills Please Mertes
MANHATTAN (UP)—Coach Bus Mertes said today his Kansas State football squad is "well ahead of the midway point of last spring" Mertes said one reason probably was youth. The team has only three seniors on the squad.

A stunning four-overtime loss dealt to North Carolina State served warning today that it's "open season on favorites" as the NCAA basketball tournament moved to complete its round of action with a slate of four games.
By UNITED PRESS
The experts feel that anything can happen now, after N.C. State—the nation's No. 2 team in the regular season—bowed to Canisius, 79-78, in four overtimes in a first-rounder at Madison Square Garden, Monday night. Substitute Fran Corcoran scored the final basket with six seconds left.
Other first-round victories were scored by Temple, Wayne University, Morehead State, and Seattle in play at three different sites. These teams earned berths in regional tournaments starting Friday, and will be joined there by the winners of tonight's four games.
At Wichita, Kan.-Southern Methodist (22-2) is a 10-point choice over Texas Tech (13-11), and Oklahoma City (18-6) is an eight-point choice over Memphis State (20-6) because of its height. The winners will move on to the Regionals in Allen Field House Friday and Saturday.
At New York—West Virginia (21-8) is favored over Dartmouth (16-9) on the shooting of "Hot Rod" Huddley; Manhattan (16-7) is favored over Connecticut (16-9) on the strength of an overtime victory in the regular season.
At New York—Temple beat Holy Cross 74-72, in a game that ended in a wild uproar. Fred Cohen's jump shot with six seconds left put the owls in front, but Tom Heinsohn of Holy Cross came back with a driving layup that officials ruled had come after the final buzzer. Several angry Crusader fans fought special police. Holy Cross coach Roy Leenig said he thought Heinsohn had been fouled before the buzzer.

Tonight's Program
Temple, sinking more than 50 per cent of its shots to offset Heinsohn's rebounding, was led by Hal Lear with 26 points. Heinsohn also had 26, but missed 21 of 28 shots.
AIRLINE HOSTESSES
At Fort Wayne, Ind.-Morehead, the highest scoring team in the U.S., missed the tourney mark by one point in beating Marshall, 107-92, as the two-team total set a tourney record. Dan Swartz hit 39 points for the winning Eagles.

Wayne, led by sophomore Clarence Straughn, handed De Paul an upset defeat, 72-63. It was Wayne's 17th straight victory and 18th in 19 games, as 5-11 Straughn led the firing with 27 points.
