Reserve Clause Issue
'" Their fate actually isn't the
major issue.
The big factor is that such a
' -'- ruling would render the reserve
clause powerless. Some believe
, it virtually would assure perman
ent destruction of the clause,
which binds a player to the club
' ' which owns his contract from one
..ft- season to the next.
This clause permits baseball to
be attacked under the bnerman
Anti-trust laws as a monopoly

There can be little doubt that
it is.
But the court held that there
is such a thing as a legal mon
t opoly, so baseball faces the issue
tr. hopefully. . . .

when he asked:

are out of luck."

Kentucky Favored
Illinois Gels
Nod Over Yale
Road Looks Rougher
For Wildcats, Though
NEW YORK, March 2! P
Kentucky's try-agin boys make
another stab as basketball glory
, here tonight in the opening round
' of the NCAA playoffs.
Once figured almost a shoo-in
for both the National Invitation
and NCAA titles the Kentuckians
now will have to prove they can
win under fire.
They've been beaten only
twice in 31 games this season, but
the two they lost were the big
ones. St. Louis whipped the Wild-1
cats by two points in the final oft
the Sugar Bowl holiday tourna
ment and Loyola of Chicago
trounced them, 62-47, in the quar
terfinal round of the National In
vitation a week ago.
Road Rough
Almost nobody doubts that the
Lexington Wildcats can get past
the Villanova Wildcats (22-3) to-
nignt. nut tne road ahead cer
tainly doesn't look as smooth as
it did a short week ago.
The immediate stumbling block
seems to be the University of
Illinois, Big Nine champion with
a 19-3 record. The Illini are
favored to brush aside Yale (22-6)
in the first game of tonight's
doubleheader.
The first round winners meet
Tuesday night for the right to
oppose Oklahoma A. and M. in the
national finals at Seattle, Wash.,
Saturday. The second place team
here also will travel west for a
consolation engagement with Ore
gon State, which lost to A. and M.
at Kansas City Saturday night,
55-30, in the western final.
Underdogs Yale and Villanova
will feature the nation's two
highest individual scorers among
major colleges. Tony Lavelli, ace
of the New Haven Blues, has
averaged 22.7 noints in 28 nirrn
Paul Arizin of Villanova has hit
at the rate of 21.7 for 25 games.
Thus, for the first time, tourna
ment competition will determine
the national scoring title.
uespite its poor showing in the
invitation, Kentucky is a 14 point
favorite tonight. The experts
figure the Wildcats can't look that
bad twice in a row. Illinois is
rated 10 points better than Yale.
torm prevails the Yale-Illinois
contest should be the closer
of tonight's two Karnes. Illinois
hasn't played in Madison Square
Garden since 1940 when one Lou
Boudreau, who now hangs out in
Cleveland, was its ace. This time
the club is led by Dwight Eddie
man, a first string football player
and a member of the U.S. Olympic
ram last summer as a high
jumper.

NEW YORK, March 21 (U.PJ
The still-elated San Francisco
Dons were scheduled to leave
Monday night for home
the folks are planning a monster
celebration of their victory in the! recently
national invitation basketball i their 1
tournament.
The Dons will leave by plane
from LaGuardia Field at 10 p.m
(EST) Monday night and arrive
in San Francisco at 7 a.m. (PST)

Coach Pete Newell attributed
the unexpected win to "team
spirit that we generated as we
went along."
Newell had high praise for Cen
ter Joe McNamee, whose guard
ing helped hold Loyola of Chicago
Ace Jack Kerris to five points in
the 48-47 finale Saturday night,
and for Don Lofgran, who tallied
20 points and was named the
tourney's most valuable player.
Newell was cautious about pre
dictions for his team next year,
but said the Dons would be back
in Madison Square Garden for a
game during the regular season.
He said the opponent had not been
selected yet, but may be CCNY,
whom the Dons played ni the reg
ular season this year, or Long
Island University.
Three players John Benlngton,
Trank Sobek, and Frank Kuzara
went on to Chicago Sunday to
visit relatives. They will rejoin
the team en route tonight and

team.

at a downtown hotel.

Ever since the first caveman
got "dressed down" by the lady
of the cave for dropping gnaw
ed bones on the floor of their
little granite barrow, this time
of the year has been marked
for Spring cleaning. It seems
to be an annual virus that nips
milady and she can't rest until
her home Is shining like a Boy
Scoot on dress parade. Now
this ts mighty commendable,
and If the brightening up pro
cess had missed a couple of
generations we might be back
in caves again. Bnt it's s rough
time for the man of the house.
Why doesn't some scientist
figure a way to qulck-freese
all men for one week In
Spring?
