San Francisco, LaSalle Favored to Win NCAA
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-LaSalle, San Francisco and Iowa, three of the nation's hottest college basketball teams, planned workouts today for this weekend's showdown for the national championship. The fourth NCAA semifinalist, Colorado, was expected to arrive today.
LaSalle's defending champion Explorers, the confident San Francisco Dons, and Iowa's tall boys from the tall Corn State flew here yesterday. The Explorers and Dons worked out after their arrival, but Iowa worked out before the flight to Kansas City.
But many believed Iowa would press LaSalle all the way, Colorado, the Big Seven champion, wasn't given much chance against San Francisco, rated tops in the nation by the United Press board of coaches. But Colorado had its supporters and the coach and team planned a surprise.
Kansas City Most of the pre-tournament talk favors San Francisco and LaSalle to emerge victorious over Colorado and Iowa, respectively, tomorrow night and fight it out Saturday night for collegiate basketball's t o p crown.
In fact, all four coaches made it plain they didn't come to Kansas City to see the sights.
Colorado's Coach Bebe Lee put the Buffaloes through a workout at Boulder before leaving for Kansas City and predicted his team would "surprise" San Francisco, winner of 24 games in a row.
The San Francisco Dons, with a 26-1 record, meet Iowa at 9 p.m. tomorrow and Coach Phil Woolpert said his chub was in "good shape."
Lee said his team has poise, a tight defense, and excellent rebounding. He had big Burdeteor Haldorson, the team's scoring ace, practicing overtime to get more arch into his hook shot. Haldorson, at 6-7, will compete against the greater stretch of 6-10 Bill Russell of the Dons.
LaSalle Coach Ken Loeffler said the tournament this year undoubtedly will be tougher than last year, but so is his crew and he feels his boys have a good chance of winning the title they gained last year.

Two Records Broken By Kansas Cagers
The 1955 Kansas basketball team established two new school records during the two winter. Its 100 points against Rice here Dec. 17 eclipsed the former single game high of 93 reached against Oklahoma at Norman last year. The Jayhawks used the same game for 38 free throws, surpassing by two the former record made also against OU last year.
Lew Johnson, 6-6\* sophomore center, wrote a new individual single-game mark with his 24 rebounds in the season finale against Oklahoma. This exceeded Clyde Lovellette's old standard of 21 collected in the 1952 NCAA finals against St. Johns.
Nats Improving In Spring Ball
Bv UNITED PRESS
Chipper Charley Dressen, anxious to boost the Washington Senators into the first division in his first year as manager, is sounding his shrill whistle in cheery tones today because his "key men" are coming through.
After dropping their first two games under his direction, the Senators now are riding a three-game winning streak, including an impressive 7 to 4 victory over the hard-hitting Cincinnati Reds at Jacksonville yesterday.
Porterfield, tabbed by Dressen as a "sure 20-game winner" along with Mickey McDermott, hurled six shutout innings and allowed the Redleg musclemen only five singles as Dressen piped his famed whistle in encouragement.
Not only does the winning skein make Dressen happy, but the showings of Pitcher Bob Porterfield and outfielder Jim Busy were even more delightful.
Bob Feller, winner of 262 major league games and owner of the second longest career among active major leaguers, did his stint in the 6 to 4 victory of the Indians' "B" squad over the New York Giants' "B" squad and repeated his intention to go on pitching "as long as I can get anybody out."
There was good news for the New York Yankees, too, as Bullet Bob Turley virtually wiped out the bad impression he made in his spring debut last week. Hammered for five runs in one inning then, he bounced back yesterday with four-hit shut-out hurling for four innings as the Yankees lost to the Chicago White Sox. 3 to 1. Yankee pennant plans include a large place for Turley, American league strikeout king obtained during the winter from the Baltimore Orioles.

Jim Finigan, Bill Renna, Joe DeMaestri, Bill Stewart, and Don Bollweg hit homers to lead an 11-ht attack as the Kansas City A's won their first game under their new banner, 8 to 3, over Detroit after four losses and a tie.
Hoglund Elected Baseball Captain
Forrest "Punky" Hoglund was elected captain of the baseball team for the 1955 season yesterday in ballots cast by all returning lettermen. Last year's captain was John Trombold who has been graduated.
Hogland, a junior, lettered last year as a sophomore after transferring from William Jewell college where he played freshman ball. A standout on defense, the Kansas City, Missouri was used at third last season, but has been shifted to shortstop this spring to bolster the Jayhawker infield through the middle.
U.S. Surges Far in Front In Pan-Am
Mexico City —U(P)—Rod Richard, the United States' newest version of the "world's fastest human," and Bob Backus and Bert Schemansky left world and meet records crushed in their wake today as they pushed the Yanks even further ahead in the Pan-American games.
Richard, an Army lieutenant, whizzed over 200 meters in a meet record 20.3 seconds yesterday to become the second double winner of the games.
Backus, of the New York AC,
shattered a meet record with almost
every effort as he won the hammer
throw with a new mark of 180 feet,
1 4/5 inches. Schemansky, a 30-
year-old Detroit policeman, set
a world record by snatching 3331
pounds in winning the heavyweight
weight-lifting gold medal.
With many other star performances piled on these, the United States widened its margin in the unofficial team point race, now owning a total of 279 points to only 90 for runner-up Argentina, the defending champion.

The U.S. athletes are expected to set the stage for other victories in events where only eliminations are being held today. Chief among these is the 1,500-meter run—the so-called "metric mile"—in which Wes Santee of Kansas and Fred Dwyer of New York are the heavy favorites.
Sparky Stalcup, coach of the West team in the annual East-West Shrine game in Kansas City, has chosen five Missouri Valley area players to his squad. They are Bob Patterson of Tulsa, Lester Lane of Oklahoma, Cleo Littleton of Wichita, and Med Park and Bob Reiter of Stalcup's Missouri squad.
