Upset Minded Teams Play in NCAA Tourney
Kansas City, Mo. —(U.P.)- Four red-hot basketball teams, who specialize in upsets, clash tonight in the semi-final round of the National Collegiate AA tournament with only brave men daring to pick the winners.
Bradley ranked as a slight favorite over Southern California in the opening game of the Municipal auditorium twin bill (at 8 p.m. CST), and laSalle and its all-America see Tom Gola was an equally slight choice over Penn State in the second game.
Tonight's winners will meet for the championship tomorrow night at 10 p.m., EST, in a nationally televised (NBC) game following the consolation tilt.
Coach Forrest Twogood of Southern Cal figured any "hot" team would win, and rated his Trojans with as good a chance as any to be the hot one. He discounted the fact that Bradley beat USC, 79-64, earlier in the season—the only test of strength between any of the teams.
USC moved into the NCAA tournament after capturing the Pacific Coast conference championship, while LaSalle was Mid-Atlantic conference titleholder. Both Bradley and Penn State were at-large entries.
Although both LaSalle and Penn. State are from Pennsylvania, they have never met in a basketball game before.
All four quintets were on hand and worked out yesterday on the Municipal auditorium hardwood. Bradley, although traveling the shortest distance (from Peoria, Ill.) was the last to arrive and had an 8:30 p.m. drill.
Six Bowling Teams Win Yesterday
Keglers, Don Henry, and Sig Ep won their games in the afternoon bowling games yesterday, and Theta Chi, Mifsit, and the Ph Delta won the evening contests.
Keglers defeated the Knaves 4-0;
Sig Ep beat the ATO's 3-1, and Don Henry and the Plebes tied; while Theta Chi beat Phi Kappa Tau 4-0; Misfits won from the SAE's 3-1, and the Phi Delts beat the Mirauders 4-0.
The Keglers bowled the high 10 of 567 and the high 30 of 1613 in the afternoon games. Ted Sexton of Keglers bowled the afternoon high ten of 204, and Gary Schugart of the Plebes bowled the high 30 of 467.
All 10,000 seats in the auditorium were sold, and the audience will include some 250 of the nation's cage coaches, who held their annual convention earlier this week.
East-West Play Monday
Kansas City—(U.P.)—Coach Adolph (Baron) Rupp of Kentucky, denied a shot at the coveted NCAA basketball championship by disqualification of three of his stars, began tutoring another team for national laurels today.
Rupp, whose Kentucky Wildcats were undefeated in 25 games and won the Southeast conference cage crown but voluntarily relinquished their shot at the NCAA title, was coach of the East team in the annual East-West all-star - Shrine' game Monday night.
"Nibs" Price, University of California coach, was mentor of the West quintet.
Players and coaches gathered for a "get-acquainted" breakfast this morning, then went to two high school courts for their first practice session.
The all-star game will be preceded by a tilt between Rio Grande college and its Bevo Francis and Rockhurst college of Kansas City. It will be the second appearance this month in Kansas City for Francis, as Rio Grande played in the NAIA "Little College" national meet.
Rupp, ordered by his doctor to take a rest after regular season play, delayed execution of the order to coach the Easterners. He was expected to build his quintet about Frank Selvy, scoring ace from Furman who rewrote every major point-making record during the past season.
Price, on the other hand, was believed ready to rely on one of his own players, Bob Matheny, for a sparkplug.
