Benham of Lake Placid, N. Y.,
placed second behind Germany
Thursday in the first two heats
of the Olympic four-man bob
sled competition on a track so
slushy that Friday's final two
heats may have to be postponed.
An unseasonably hot sun raised
temperatures to the mid-40's and
made a slush-chute of the 1500
, meter nearly one mile Frogner

gaping holes in the ice that ham
pered most of the sleds.
AT THE END of the first two
heats, the course was in such bad

to take no action against Ameri

nota, who was involved In fist
fighting during the U.S.-Swit-xerland
game.
American style of play against
Switzerland drew protests from
the Norwegian crowd, which
threw orange peels on the Ice
and yelled "Chicago gangsters."
The game was stopped for four
minutes to quiet the crowd. Eu
ropeans do not use hard body
contacts and the aggressive style
of Americans and Canadians
pic officials feared Friday's final
two scheduled heat, might have
to be postponed.
One Olympic official said that
the course might not be put back
into shape by Sunday, the con
cluding day, and that the four
man bobsled competition might
not be completed.
Benham's sled made Its first
run in one minute, 17.44 seconds
and its second in 2:17.78 for a
combined clocking of 2:35.22. The
time was nearly two seconds

Seattle Rejects
NAIB Cage Bid
SEATTLE m Seattle Uni
versity passed up its chance
Wednesday for a crack at the na
tional small-college basketball
championship in the hope for a
bid to the National Collegiate
Athletic Association plavoffs.
Rated 16th this week in the As
sociated Press national poll, Seat
tle was to have been host at the
four-team stale playoffs of the
National Association of Intercol
legiate Basketball. This now will

in the national finals.
Gonzaga University and three
.Evergreen Conference teams will

chosen from west of the Mississip

Major League Clubs
To Rely on Rookies
By OSCAR FRALEY
United Freu Sport! Wrltct
NEW YORK tU.R) This is
the baseball silly season, when
every Major League manager
dreams pennant and every team
has a crop of rookies which an
nually include "a new Walter
Johnson Johnson," or, at the very
least, a "new Dizzy Dean."
It matters not one whit, or even
a half one, that year in an d year
out these spring flowers wilt into
fielders a la Pepper Martin or
pitchers with all the control of a
loaded pin ball machine.
There are two basic values to
this hope eternal, however. With
out it, the mortality rate among
managers would be fearful. And,
in its absence, your frantic fan in
many a way station would be
tempted to shave real close, end
ing once and for all both five
o'clock and ninth inning shadows.
THE CROP this year, though,
looks to be a bit more able than
usual of living up to advance no
tices. Not those of the "Walter
Johnson" or "Dizzy Dean" tags,
possibly, but serviceable. So lets
take a quick look at the rookies
who may possibly make the grade.
Conning the National League
first, the Giants have four, if you
want to include young Davey Wil
liams, who may become head
liners or, at least remain under
the big top. Williams was up last
year but now gets his chance to
succeed the departed Eddie Stan-
ky full time. The Giants also look
to pitcher Vince DiLorenzo, 22-8
at Jacksonville; outfielder Gall
Henley .281 at Sioux City and
catcher Ray Katt, .308 at Minne
apolis. BROOKLYN WIU, inspect a
baker's dozen pitchers, while St.
Louis looks to pitcher Octavio Ru
pert, 19-4 at Houston, and out
fielder Vern Benson, a Columbus
power hitter. The Braves have a
host of rookie pitchers in parade
plus infieldcrs George Crowe,
.339 American Association rookie
of the year and Jack Dittmer,
who hit .334 at Atlanta.

Clinches Berth
In NCAA Meet
Dayton Rolls Up
13th Win in Row
NEW YORK (U.R The slick
St. Louis University Billikens
Thursday became the second team
to qualify for the NCAA basket
ball tournament.
The Bills, currently ranked as
the No. 8 team in the nation by
the United Press board of
caoaches, gained the tournament
berth when they clinched the
Missouri Valley conference cham
pionship Wednesday night at St.
Louis by defeating Houston, 63
55. ST. LOUIS' first round oppon
ent in the western regionals of the
NCAA tourney at Kansas City,
March 21, will be the as-yet-undetermined
champion of the
Border conference.
Of the other 15 NCAA berths,
the only one already clinched is
that belonging to the Southeast
ern conference champion, which
is Kentucky. The National In
vitation tournament has filled
three of its 12 berths with Du-
quesne, St. John's and St. Bona-
venture.
Six-foot, five-inch Bob Koch
led St. Louis to its clinching tri
umph as he sank 23 points, 15 of
them in the second half.
DAYTON U ranked No. 14 na
tionally and a leading candidate
for both NIT and NCAA bids,
furthered its cause with a 65-56
victory over Miami of Ohio. It
was the Flyers' 22nd victory
against only two losses and their
13th straight since losing to St.
John's.
However, Penn State had its
tournament hopes jolted by a 54
52 upset by Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia. Penn built up a 34
22 lead at halftime, but needed a
late basket by Ernie Beck to win.
The loss was the second in 19
games for Penn State, which has
announced it was not interested
in an NIT bid but would consider
an NCAA bid as a member-at-large.

from University's clinching the fi

Friday.
Two games will hold all the in

tests pit Junction City againsi
University at McArthur court,

The Tiders. with a win over tne
hot Junction quint, could do no
worse than tie for the playoff
spot. If the Grovers lose to Wil
lamette, then Uni-Hi is in, with
both the Lions and Springfield
eliminated.
IF RAY Hendrickson's quint

3:30 p.m.
The Huskies will be favored
despite the absence of All-American
Pete Salmon, sprint freestyle
ace whose studies will keep him
in Seattle. The invaders have
plenty of power otherwise, espe
cially in Dick Magnuson, AU

cluding the North Division crown.
Two sophomores will aid Wash
