Utah Accepts NCAA Bid Arkansas Out
The National Collegiate Athletic Association Western playoff has found a team to take the place of the distaster - wrecked Arkansas University team. Utah University has accepted an offer to play at Kansas City this weekend.
The Westerners will play the Missouri Tigers Friday night at eight o'clock and Iowa State will meet Pepperdine of Los Angeles. The winners play Saturday night for the right to meet the Eastern division champion in New York for the national title March 28.
The Rocky Mountain team will come to Kansas City from New York, where it made a strong showing in being eliminated in the semifinals of the Madison Square Garden invitation tournament by barely losing to Kentucky, 38 to 46. The Utes are an all-civilian outfit and were one of the most popular teams at the New York tourney.
Assembling four teams for the tournament has been a hectic affair and it finally ended up with two teams from the Big Six, Missouri and Iowa State, and no representative of the Southwest Conference.
At first no Rocky Mountain team would compete and Iowa University declined to fill this spot, then accepted and then again declined. Both Oklahoma and Iowa State said they would not play at first, but the Iowans reconsidered.
Missouri was asked to fill the Rocky Mountain vacancy and accepted.
Arkansas completed the four in this set-up but a tragic automobile accident last Sunday killed one of the team's coaches and severely injured two players, forcing the Arkansans to withdraw. Utah is taking the Razorbacks' place.
