Penn State Gets Tourney Berth
New York —(U.P.)— Penn State was named today to occupy the last independent berth in the NCAA basketball tournament while Cornell moved ahead in the close race for the berth reserved for the Ivy league champion.
State's Nittany Lions, with an 11-5 record, will clash with Toledo, the Mid-American conference champion, in a first-round tourney game at Fort Wayne, Ind., March 9, with the winner qualifying to meet the Big 10 championship.
In addition to the Ivy league lead, first place in three other major conferences—the Pacific Coast, Southwest, and Skyline—also will be at stake in important games tonight.
The PCC is heading tonight into its final week-end in which all teams play two games. In the northern division, first-place Oregon State (10-4) and second-place Oregon (8-6) open a two-game series in which State needs a split to clinch. In the southern division, first place UCLA (7-3) and second-place Southern California (6-4) also open a two-game series in which UCLA needs a split to clinch.
Texas, tied with Rice for the Southwest lead, hopes to jump ahead by beating Arkansas. Texas and Rice each have 7-3 records with two games left to play.
Colorado A&M (10-1) can clinch a tie for the Skyline title tonight by beating Utah if second-place Wyoming (8-3) also loses to Brigham Young.
Dujuese, the nation's No. 1 team, will try to score its 23rd straight victory tonight against Cincinnati to move within three games of a perfect season. And Furman's Frank Selvy shoots for the major-college one-season field goal record against Davidson.

Colorado follows the Aggies into Hoch Monday night in what will probably be the deciding game toward the 1954 Big Seven title. Kansas now stands 9-1 in league play while Colorado is riding an 8-1 level. The Buffs tackle Oklahoma in Norman tomorrow night in another tough bout.

1115 Hard St., Dallas, Texas
But the Jayhawkers can't afford to look ahead to Monday's game with the talented Aggies in town. Beaten by Wichita Wednesday night at Stillwater, Coach Hank Iba's crew will be ready to bounce back from their first Missouri Valley conference defeat. They have lost only three games in 24 starts this year.
The Jayhawkers will be eager to square the season's series between the two teams, too. The Cowboys took a 54-40 victory Jan. 12 in Stillwater although the Jayhawks played possibly their best game this season.
The Aggies will be minus Dale Roark, the hustling little guard who handcuffed Dallas Dobbs from the field in Stillwater. Roark ran out of eligibility at the end of the first semester. Taking his place will be Tom Maloney, a 6-4, 180-pound junior.
The Jayhawkers also will have a new face in the lineup. Bill Heitholt taking over for Larry Davenport, who started the Stillwater tussle. Heitholt saw no action in the first meeting.
Harold Patterson, Al Kelley, B. H.
Born, and Dobbs will join Heitholt in the starting lineup for Kansas.
It will be the 37th meeting between the two teams with the Jaw- hawkers holding a 20-16 edge in victories. And it will be the 29th meeting between Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen and Iba, the nation's first and third winningest coaches. Iba leads in this rivalry, 15-13.
JUMPIN' JACK—Neville Price, Oklahoma broad-jumper from South Africa, is expected to break his own record tonight when the Big Seven indoor meet opens in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium. Price is defending champion in both indoor and outdoor events. Last week, he won the AAU broad-jump title in New York.
Yankees Look to Blackwell To Solve Pitching Problems
By UNITED PRESS
Ewell Blackwell's chance to return as a dependable pitcher to help make up for the loss of Vic Raschi was marked down today as the No. 1 "order of business" in the New York Yankees' training camp.
Manager Casey Stengel made that clear when he announced that Blackwell will be the first Yankee pitcher to be tested under fire this spring. The former sidearm star of the Redlegs was selected to start the world champions' exhibition opener against the St. Louis Cardinals, March 6.
Much will hang on Blackwell's early performances. Stengel must inform general manager George Weiss at the earliest date whether he feels a deal for a pitcher is mandatory. Such a deal, of course, would require a package by the Yankees, meaning Weiss can't decide on the disposition of any of his young players until Stengel makes his pitching decision.
The 31-year old Blackwell had a 2-0 record last season but went on the injured list in June with a "dead" arm. Pitching coach Jim Turner and catcher Yogi Berra have reported to Stengel, however, that Blackwell seems fast and loose in preliminary workouts.

The rush to report "all signed" by March 1 and routine workouts marked developments in most of the other camps.
