NIT Pairings
St. Peter's, Duke triumph in NIT
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Elnardo Webster returned home a year too late to save the St. Peter's College basketball team its most embarrassing moment in history but just in time to bury the memory.
The 6-foot-5-inch Webster was not a student at St. Peter's last year when the Peacocks were humiliated by Southern Illinois in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament. He was attending Wharton Junior College in Houston at the time and scoring points at a record clip.
Had the Peacocks had Webster
last season they might have avoided the humiliation at the hands of the Salukis. As it is, the high leaping forward did what he could to cover up the memory of that debacle Thursday night by scoring 51 points while helping the Peacocks defeat Marshall 102-93 in double overtime in the first game of the 1968 NIT.
Not even Duke's methodical 97-81 victory over Oklahoma City in the second game of the opening round doubleheader could take anything away from the magnificent play of Webster. The crowd of 17,602 at Madison Square Garden gave the St. Peter's star a rousing ovation when he entered the arena to watch the nightcap.

Kansas makes its first appearance in the National Invitational Tourney against a veteran Temple team at 6 p.m. tonight in New York's Madison Square Garden.
For the Jayhawks it is its ninth post season tournament appearance and the first ever in the NIT. For the Temple Owls it is the 13th post season appearance and the seventh in the NIT. Temple won the Tourney in 1938.
Temple to test Kansas in NIT opening round
Four of Temple's probable starters are returning starters from last year's team which compiled a 20-8 record in winning the Middle Atlantic Conference university division championship and a berth in the NCAA regionalals. The fifth starter was a non-letterman on that team.
This is Owl coach Harry Litwack's 16th season. He has an overall record of 283 victories and 141 losses. He led the team to 19 victories in 27 games this year to gain a post season berth for the 10th time in the last 13 seasons.
Junior forward Joe Cromer, junior center John Baum and
senior guards Clarence Brookins and Mike Kehoe are starters back from last year's quintet. The other probable starter is junior forward Jim Snook.
The 6-5 Baum is the leading scorer and rebound on the squad. He averaged 17.7 points and 12.0 rebounds a game this season.
Brookins, 6-4, has been a three-year standout as a starter for the Owls. He led the team in scoring last year with an 18.1 average. This year his average dropped to 14.5 and he pulled in 204 rebounds to rank second to Baum in both departments.
The 5-11 Khoe has averaged only four points per game this year but has been a steady performer as a playmaker and defensive player.
Cromer, 6-5, averaged 12.8 points a game, third on the team this year, and has been a steady performer both offensively and defensively. The 6-5 Snook came on late in the season to beat out 6-9 Eddie Mast for the forward spot.
Every now and then a VW runs into a little trouble at the factory.
That hunk of junk was well on its way to being a Volkswagen, when it ran into a stone wall: A bunch of hard-nosed inspectors who pull enough parts off the line every day to make the equivalent of 20 cars. Or 2 freight cars full of scrap.
There are thousands of inspectors who literally pick every Volkswagen to pieces, every step of the way.
If there's a little scratch in a fender, it gets scratched. If there's a little nick in a bumper, it gets bumped.
Wherever ten people are doing something, there's an inspector to undo it. For the paint job alone, no less than 8 inspectors check every VW.
All that inspection doesn't mean the work isn't done carefully. The men who make the VW make it very well.
The inspectors just make it perfect.
