NYU Or St. Louis Picked To Win Garden Invitational
- New York, March 10—(UP)—The bookmakers blithely disregarded won-and-lost records today and picked New York university and St. Louis university as co-favorites in the National Invitational basketball tournament opening here Thursday night.
r selection of choices calmly ignored the fact that Western Ken-
Their selection of choices tuffy's highscoring Hilltopppers had been seeded first by the tournament committee.
St. Louis swings in action Thursday against Bowling Green, and the rookies have made the blue-clad Billikens a 2-1% point choice. In the other game on the same night, Western Kentucky has been made a 7-1% favorite over LaSalle of Philadelphia. NYU Favored Over Texas
N. Y. U., which finishes its regular season against City College of New York tonight, doesn't start tourney play until Saturday. At that time they are a 7-½ foot choice over Texas.
in the first-round pairings for the N. C. A, A. eastern semi-finals, defending champion Holy Cross will meet Michigan and Kentucky goes against Columbia.
In the other games on Saturday's bill, third-seeded North Carolina State goes against DePaul. If their mumps-stricken star Dick Dickey is able to play, the Staters will be a seven-point choice, but if Dickey is out the margin will be only two.
N. Y. U, had been seeded second and St. Louis fourth by the committee, which apparently based its seedings on percentages.
Columbia clinched its second straight eastern intercollegiate league championship last night by defeating Cornell, 73 to 68, in the Columbia gym. It was the Lions' 20th victory in 21 games.
Two Openings In Western
In the N. C. A. A. Westerns two slots are still open. The winner of the Oklahoma Aggie-Kansas State play-off Mar. 15 will get one place and a Pacific Coast representative will fill out the slate.
The selection of the University of Wyoming to represent the Rocky Mountain district was protested today by the University of Utah. In a formal note to the association Dr. Ray Olpin, president of the university, charged that the selection was "inconsistent and unfair."
He said that Arthur Londborg, chairman of the N. C. A. A. tournament, had informed Utah that a play-off with Wyoming has been arranged. After Wyoming refused to enter a playoff, he charged, they were named for the tourney.
KU Lutherans Win Tourney At Topeka
Gamma Delta, Lutheran college fraternity, successfully defended its state title at the Lutheran invitational tournament Sunday at Topeka, defeating Gamma Delta of Emporia State, 26 to 23, in the finals.
Playing in Municipal auditorium, the University team advanced to the finals by defeating Cheney, 30 to 22, and Natoma, 27 to 21 in Saturday and Sunday games.
Mondschein Plans To Enter Relays
Ivry Mondschein, national A.A.U. champion from New York university, probably will compete in the Kansas Relays in the decathlon, Emil Von Elling, N.Y.U. coach, announced today.
Stan Lampert, N.Y.U. weight man, has also planned tentatively to compete in the RELays with Mondschcin, Von Elling said.
Trousdale Tigers,Begun As A Joke, Will Take 'B' Trophy Home For Keeps
The general store in Trousdale, Kans., will be the final resting place for the "B" team basketball championship trophy won by the Trousdale Tigers in the independent division.
Originally the team was started as a farce by Tom Mayhew, business senior, and Ralph Wood, engineering junior, both from Trousdale. They just wanted to get some exercise. $ \textcircled{4} $
The results are that they not only won the independent championship but went on to beat the Phi Delt's, the fraternity division champions.
At the beginning of the season, the members of the team agreed if they should by chance win the trophy, it would be placed in the general store at Trousdale.
"It will give the old store some class," said Wood, coach of the Tigers, "and class is something the store has been needing for a long time."
Incidentally, the store is owned by Wood's father.
Two other members of the team that live in Trousdale are Lawrence Mische, and Raymond Gurter. The foreigners on the squad are Jim Brilley, Bill Bryant, and Arthur McIntire.
"Now Trousdale is a large town," replied Mayhew, "when the team was on the court, one-twentieth of the population was playing basketball. How could we lose?"
IM Volleyball Winners Have Easy Time In Second Night Of First-Round Play
