Hamline-Indiana State Tilt Is NAIB Feature Tonight
Kansas City, Mo., March 11—(UP)—Indiana State Teachers of Terre Haute meets Hamline university of St. Paul tonight in the first semi-final game of the N.A.I.B. tournament. The University of Louisville and Xavier of Cincinnati meet in the other semi-final contest. The finals will be played Saturday.
Louisville was regarded as the outstanding contender today after eliminating Beloit college, 85 to 76, with a powerful offensive last night.
Johnny Orr of Beloit scored 31 points, a new individual high for the tournament, but it was not enough to match the second half scoring drive of Glenn Combs, Jack Coleman and Deward Compton, Louisville's main guns.
The first half was close all the way with Beloit finishing the period with a 42 to 40 advantage. Louisville ran up 19 points in the first eight minutes of the second half, however, and had no trouble thereafter.
Mankato Is Out
Xavier entered the semi-finals by defeating the Mankato, Minn., Teachers, last year's runner up, 62 to 50. The Cincinnati team got off to an early lead and Mankato never was able to close the gap. Xavier led 34 to 25 at the intermission.
Hamline was forced to use stalling tactics to defeat Manhattan college of New York, 60 to 51, in the opening game of the quarter-final stand. The New Yorkers had to finish the game with only three players on their team after six men had fouled out in trying to break up the Hamline tactics.
The St. Poul team scored seven points before Manhattan broke into the scoring column. They were ahead 83 to 51 when they launched their tall shot of total of 34 fouls was called by Manhattan. Mikhiel Still Hot.
Vern Mikkelson and Hal Haskins shared scoring honors for Hamline with 20 points each. Johnny Byrnes had 14 points to lead the losers.
In the fourth quarter final game, Indiana State came back strong after trailing San Jose, State college, 34 to 26, at the end of the first half.
Controlling the rebounds and hitting consistently during the second half, Indiana tied it up midway in the period and went on to win going away. Dune Klueh was high for Indiana State with 19 points, three more than his teammate, Bob Royer.

NY Opener To Billikens
New York, N. Y., March 12—(UF)
—Top-seeded Western Kentucky's reckless runnin' Hillppotters and St. Louis university's poised and polished Billikens were in the semi-finals of the National Invitational basketball tournament today, ready to test their opposite styles Monday night.
Fourth-seeded St. Louis, clicking with a precision-perfect fast-breaking and sharpshooting attack that had the crowd of 17,739 gasping in admiration, walloped Bowling Green of Ohio, 69 to 53, in the nightcap. Winners Clash Monday
The hardy boys from the Blue Grass country gained the semi-finals with a rough-and-ready, free-shooting 68 to 61 victory over LaSalle college of Philadelphia in the tourney's opening game at Madison Square Garden last night.
Whether the Kentuckians' hell-for-leather tactics could overcome the finesse of the Billikens remained to be determined in a key game Monday night. Before that second-seeded New York university will meet Texas and third-seeded North Carolina state will face DePaul of Chicago in lower bracket quarterfinal clashes tomorrow night.
Western Kentucky, whose relentless run-and-shoot tactics produced 30 field goals on 90 shots from the floor, had trouble with LaSalle for the first 17 minutes of the first half, during which the score was tied five times.
But the Hilltopppers broke away from the last deadlock at 24-all to gain a 35 to 27 lead, and by the 14th minute of the second half had piled up an insurmountable 58 to 43 bulge. A 10-point spree in the final two minutes by LaSalle, after Coach Ed Diddle had thrown in his reserves, cut down the margin. It was Western Kentucky's 27th victory of the season against a lone defeat by Bowling Green.
Billikens Build Lead Fast
St. Louis parried with the Falcons from Ohio for the first 10 minutes of the opening half before breaking an 11 to 11 tie with an uninterrupted burst of 13 points that enabled it to ease to a 36 to 21 lead at the half-time intermission.
The Billikens, sparked by Dan Miller's eight points, went on to widen their margin to 55 to 31 in the first 10 minutes of the closing half to make it a rout.
