I MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 1942. PAGE TWO Stanford Trims Dartmouth 53-38 to Capture N.C.A.A. Honors RALLY AT FINISH NETS COAST FIVE TITLE GAME EDSE Inaccurate Passing Slows . Up At Start Pollard, Star Out of Game. Kansas City, March 28 (Pi Hitting their stride in the last 10 minute tonight, the Stan lord Indians slipped into a three-polnt-a-mlnute pace against Dart mouth to transform a tight game Into 33-38 rout and win the N. C. A. A. basketball champion ship mefore 6,000 spectators. - Inaccurate passing nearly cost the big Californians the game, but they assembled themselves just in time to dissolve Dart mouth leads and finally wound up in a flurry of field goals. Jim Pollard, the sensational sophomore, was not in suit for Stanford, having suffered a si nus infection yesterday which put him in bed with a high tem perature. He was on the side lines tonight without a fever, but Coach Everett Dean preferred to keep him out of action. The Pacific coast boys started out as If they sorely missed Pol lard and trailed by six points at one time in the first half Dartmouth poured through spec tacular one-handed shots. But Sophomore Howard Dallmar, a big, galloping guy, came to the rescue with 11 points to tie the count before the hall time gun Then Jack Dana took a long pass nd plunked the strings to give Stanford a Z4-ZZ lead. . In the first five minutes of the final period, Dartmouth had knoted the score twice and pulled ahead, 27-26, on George Munroe's charity. It was the last point the Hanover .Indians got lor five minutes. During that time, Dallmar, voted the game's most valuable player, poked in a one-hander nd fast Fred Llnarl dribbled furiously down the floor to plas ter another basket. That put Stanford into a three-point ad vantage which began multiply ing with the regularity of a metronome. . In 90 seconds, Dallmar, Dana. td Voss and Bill Cowden had turned the nets for seven points as Stanford cruised into a 37-29 lead and Dartmouth collapsed. JAP ATHLETE QUITS Berkeley, Calif., March 28.

Not that there was even one rugged Individualist In the crowd of 18,220 fans who ex pected a different ending. The fans, who contributed a gross gate of $132,430.41, knew that eventually Abe's lumpy torso would be stretched out on the soiled canvas. But when the end did come, Abe was not stretched out. He painfully was hoisting himself erect at the count of 10, and he and Johnston vehemently claim Abe beat the count. He had gone down twice be fore, the bell stopping the count each time. In the second round he toppled like a felled tree, and his seconds churned out like tugboats to nudge the groggy Leviathan into dock and ad minister first aid. The count had reached two. - The end of the fifth found Simon seated placidly in his own corner. The count reached six before his emergency squad could clamber up the steps to hoist him high enough to shove a stool under him. Not that Abe didn't have his moments. As early as the first round he withstood as heavy bombardment as ilie champion of champions could muster. He didn't go down, and as the bell clanged to start the second round he grinned affably at the re feree, giving a prodigious wink to show that everything was under control. It was, for a minute or so. Like a huge, hairy mole he kept boring in, so awkwardly he posi tively was clever, and the ever patient Louis waited, waited, waited for a chance to crash through those big arms and start his usual murderous flurry of blows. He finally caught Abe late In the round, crashing rights and lefts off the lantern jaw until Abe Just crumpled. It seemed Impossible that the giant could come out for the third round, but he not only came out, he won an edge in it, as well as in the fourth, although the thi was taken from him because of an accidental low blow. Louis got the range again In the fifth, and the knockdown Just before the bell was the pre lude to the finale.

Lauia won SOLE GREATS GET OF LESSER STAR Greensboro, N. C, March 28 AP) The lesser lights of golf gave the game's big names a thorough beating in the $5,500 Greensboro open today and held the four first places at the half way point in the 72-hole event. Leading the parade were Sam Byrd, the one-time New York Yankee outfielder, and slugging Jimmy Thomson, who were deadlocked at 136. Rod Mundoy of the lefthanded putts missed two out of 15 today and slid from first place to third, a stroke off the pace. He added a par 81 to his record opening 68. Two strokes farther back at 139 were Ben Loving of Spring field. Mass., and Chandler Har per of Portsmouth, V, never a winner, though he has been in the money in every tournament this year. As if to clinch the argument for the underdogs, Byrd and Loving won scorinc honors for the day with sparkl ing 67s.

But Lord Byror sounded a warning of his cominf challenge with a solid 68. a great round of golf that pleased him, even though he three-putted two greens and missed an 18-inch putt on the home hole. He was even at 140 with Paul Runyan two-time PGA king, plaving dan' gerous golf for the veterans.

A. title tonight in decisive fashion by winning five ' of the 11 events and placing In all the others for a total of 71 j points in the Harvard pool. i That terrific display of scor ing power forced the title-de fending Michigan team to sur render its throne and be con tent with the runner-up honors with 39 points. Ohio State, the only other well-balanced team among the 30 that started In the two-day competition, wound up in third place with 34. 'iL - Your New ft SUIT THE ..NATION ..OVER SCIENTIFIC PAIR ARMORY MAT CARD Mack Llllard's weekly grap pling program in the armory Monday night will feature, In the first two matches, a couple of the meanest mat characters f ever to gouge an eye or knee a W groin in this neck of the woods. Jim Casey and Pedro Brazil, a pair of scientific gents, will do battle in the one-hour main event, but its In the four-round opener and the six-round semi windup that all the fireworks will occur. Cyanide Cy Williams, whose ring antics send both male and female fans into hysterics of bit-, ter hatred, will take on Brocco li Bob Kruse, the Oswago farm er, in the curtain-raiser. Kruse, who has wrestled here many times in the past, is a tough cookie and can be expected to waste little time trying to grap ple cleanly with Williams. The middle event figures to be Just as wild and unorthodox as the opener. Pete Belcastro, ' the Weed badman, returns to clash with Andre Adoree, the aggressive and slick French-Can- Q adian. Belcastro won't have things his own way, for Adoree is capable of handling anything tossed in his direction. Mcnlag Furnaces at Air Conditioning Systems LEONARD ELECTRIC CO. 309 E. Main.
