SPOTLIGHT on SPORTS By BILL SIMS
Fifteen teams have been selected or the two most widely publicized basketball tournaments, the National Collegiate Athletic Association and he National Invitational Tournament winner of the K.U.-A. A. and M. game to be named officially o the N.C.A.A. The list comprises most of the top ranking teams, and he tournaments promise to be two if the best conducted yet. Entries in the N.I.T. include Kentucky, Bowling Green, Muhlenberg, Syracuse, St. John's, West Virginia, Arizona, and Rhode Island State. All of these teams have impressive records and should furnish excellent entertainment in Madison Square garden starting tomorrow night.
Many fans voiced their disapproval because DePaul and City College of New York were bypassed when teams were considered for the NLT. Both teams suffered several defeats, but both played and defeated some of the topnotch teams.
DePaul defeated such highscoring eams as Notre Dame and the Oklahoma Aggies in winning 16 and losing six. City College of New York made its claim as one of the best in the nation by outscoring New York university, ranked as the outstanding team of the year. N.Y.U. previously had been defeated only by North Carolina.
it is impossible to name all of the ap ranking teams to one or the other of these two great ournaments, and the selection committees individually felt that they were choosing the best teams. It is unfortunate that some teams must be overlooked in the final selections.
New York university, Ohio State, Harvard, and North Carolina university have been selected for the eastern division of the N.C.A.A. tourney which starts March 21.
NEU and North Carolina are the choices of the experts to fight it out for the right to enter the east-west playoffs, but Ohio State, Big Ten champions, must not be overlooked and may upset the pre-tournament done.
Western division representatives of the N.C.A.A. include California, Baylor, Colorado, and the K.U.-Agi winner. All are winners of their respective conference championships except Colorado. Wyoming captured the Big Seven title, but two of Wyoming's star players are graduate students and would be ineligible for the tournament.
Two teams in these tourneys are coached by former pupils of Dr.
Fans May See Black-Kurland Scoring Match
Charlie Black and company will make Bob Kurland look like he is selling popcorn and peanuts out on the floor when they meet in the play-off game, a team member said yesterday.
This will be the last time All-Americans Black and Kurland meet on a basketball court in collegiate competition, and it will be a top-notch battle for scoring and re-bounding honors.
After having a well-earned week's rest the Jayhawkers have been practicing since Friday. The Jayhawker finished their schedule, Feb. 28, by defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 52-47 at Norman, but the Aggies still have a game to play before the game with Kansas. This is a definite advantage because the Aggies will be playing under game conditions and will not have a long layoff as K.U. will.
The Jayhawkers will be meeting the Aggies for the 16th time March 18 in the Kansas City Municipal auditorium. The Kansans have been the victors nine times in the 15 games played between the two schools since 1936.
The Aggies have never won a game at Lawrence and won their first game on a neutral court when they defeated Kansas at Oklahoma City 46-28 in December.
Entry Deadlines Set For Sports Tourneys
The deadlines for entries in the men's tennis, golf, and softball tournaments have been set as March 27, and for the track meet as March 25. James Richey, assistant director of intramural sports, announced today.
Entry blanks for all tournaments may be obtained in the intramural office in Robinson gym, Richey said.
F. C. "Phog" Allen, Kentucky, which is entered in the N.I.T., is coached by Adolph Rupp, and Colorado which will play in the N.C.A.A., is tutored by Frosty Cox. Both are K.U. graduates.
If Kansas gets by the Aggies, it will be pupil vs. coach if the Jayhawkers and Colorado meet. At any rate, Kansas will be well represented on the coaching side of the ledger in these tourneys.
Skull Practice Tomorrow Night
Varsity football candidates will hold their weekly after-dinner skull session at 7:30 tomorrow night in 202 Robinson gymnasium. Coach George Sauer will review plays assigned to the squad this week and will add four new plays for the second week of spring practice.
Beta Defends Title Against SAE Tonight
Beta Theta Pi will defend its men's intramural basketball championship title against Sigma Alpha Epsilon at 7:30 tonight in Robinson gymnasium.
The Beta's won the title last year by defeating Sigma Nu, the team they defeated in a semi-fina game Monday night.
Sig Alph defeated Sigma Nu, 38-24, in regular league play, and the Beta's took a 38-23 decision over Sigma Nu. Monday night. The Sig Alph's reign as favorites to unseat the Beta's as champions by virtue of the eight point advantage the Sig Alph's hold in comparative scores.
Both teams are well-balanced, but the Sig Alph's hold a slight height advantage over the Beta's. A scoring duel may develop between Ray Ocamb, Sig Alph forward, and Clare Gillen, Beta center.
I.S.A.-Independents Review Histories
As an introduction to the I.S.A.- Independents series of discussions, a history of each group was read at the first meeting in the Union last week. Lorraine Carpenter, I.S.A. president, and Lois Thompson, Independent president, read the histories.
The possibility of merging the two organizations was discussed, with the discussion to continue through a series of such meetings.
The second meeting will be at 7 p.m. tomorrow, in the Union.
