Marshall And Brigham Young Are Upset Victims In NAIB
Kansas City, Mo., March 11-(UP)Two "giant killers" neither of which were expected to pass their first or second round tests, meet today in the feature game of the quarter-final round of the N.A.I.B. basketball tournament.
tournament. San Jose State college of California provided the biggest upset of the
San Jose
tourney last night by eliminating
champion Marshall college
of Huntington, W. Va., 74 to 72,
in an overtime contest.
San Jose's opponent in the quarterfinals is Indiana State Teachers of Terre Haute, who played a championship brand of ball in knocking off Brigham Young university of Provo, Utah. 82 to 68.
The Indiana team, sparked by Bob Royer, a tournament all-American two years ago, spotted Brigham Young an early 8-point lead and then pulled away to win handily.
San Jose led Marshall most of the way last night but the defending champions came back to tie it up in the last three minutes. In the overtime San Jose jumped away to a 4-point lead but once again Marshall tied it up, and then went ahead by two points. Chuck Hughes evened the count with a goal with only 45 seconds remaining and then Junior Morgan sewed it up for the Californians with a basket in the final 24 seconds.
Hornets Drop Out
A surprise result was the shellacking handed Emporia State by the University of Louisville, who had little trouble driving to an 82 to 66 win.
Louisville was pressed only in the first half by the Kansans, but staved off a Hornet rally to lead 33 to 27 at halftime.
Tournament observers ranked Beloit, Wis., as the team to beat in the tourney on the basis of the first and second round play. The Wisconsin team performed like champions yesterday in tracing Lawrence Tech of Detroit, 78 to 62. Beloit faces Louisville in the quarter-finals.
Manhattan college of New York gained the quarter-finals by defeating Southern Illinois of Carbondale, 52 to 42, yesterday afternoon. The New Yorkers will meet Hamline university of St. Paul in the opening game of the quarter-final round today.
Hamline Drives On
Hamline needed a 20-point scoring splurge by 6-foot 7-inch center Vern Mikkelson in the second half to defeat Gonzaga university of Spokane, 70 to 56. Hamline led 27 to 25 at the half.
In the last quarter-final game tonight, Xavier university of Cincinnati, which defeated the Connecticut State Teachers college 57 to 35, will meet the Mankato, Minn., State Teachers.
NY Tourney Opens Tonight
New York, March 11—(UP)—The court crazy hits its annual peak at Madison Square Garden tonight when the National Invitational basketball tournament gets under way with St. Louis U. opposing Bowling Green and Western Kentucky going against LaSalle.
The doubleheader, which is expected to be a sellout of about 18,400, is the first night of quarterfinal play. The other four teams in the tourney will go into action Saturday.
Western Kentucky, with a season record of 26 victories against one defeat, has been seeded first. La-Salle, a Philadelphia quintet, has 19 wins and three losses.
In LaSalle, the Hiltoppers face a squad rated at 15 to 1 but attracting a great deal of favorable attention in pre-game warm-ups. Larry Foust, 6 feet, 9 inches, LaSalle center will be the biggest man in the game. Inexperience counts against the Philadelphians, however, with three sophomores in the starting lineup.
Western Kentucky presents a tall, seasoned outfit with such recognized stars as Don Ray, Odis Spears, and Oran McKinney.
St. Louis was co-favored to win the tourney when the first odds appeared, but have now slipped in estimation, possibly because of a dull workout in the Garden yesterday.
The Billikens will be banking on 6 foot, "8 inch Easy Ed" MacAuley, one of the game's best big men, but MacAuley will be facing big men, but taller than himself, 6 foot, 10 inch Charley Share.
Call K. U. 251 With Your News
Mankato became the third team from the Wisconsin-Minnesota area to reach the quarter-finals when it defeated Arizona State of Tempe, 54 to 53. The lead changed hands frequently in the early stages of the game, but Mankato went ahead to stay in the final period and staved off a desperate Arizona rally by stalling for the last minute.
Podunk Jr. High Is Upset, 136-14
Houston, Mar. 11—(UP)—Scorekeepers at the Houston Press basketball tournament almost needed an adding machine to compute tallies made by Harold Clayton, all-city junior high star.
Playing with Burbank, he racked up a new individual scoring mark by sinking 88 points in an opening round game yesterday.
The Burbank junior walloped Podunk, 136 to 14.
Pool To Be Open For Men
