Portland, Ore., Mar.
-;u.r-
Portland university defeated
Willamette university 79 to 80
here last night to win the dis
trict 2 National Association of
Intercollegiate Basketball tour
nament and a spot in the NAIB
national tourney at Kansas City
next week.
In a preliminary game North
ern Idaho College of Education
dumped Southern Oregon col
lege, 61 to 57.
The Pilots captured the dis
trict title without services of
their star, Warren Brown, who
was confined with the flu. But in
Brown's absence, little Happy
Lee of Astoria took over to score
12 field goals and three free
throws for a total of 27 points.
SOC Game Close
The Northern Idaho-Southern
Oregon contest was a nip-and-
tuck affair to the end. With less
than three minutes left to play
the score was tied at 54-all.
NICE pulled away slightly
when Center Rollie McNair sank
a free throw and then added two
more points to make the score
57 to 54. With about one minute
to play McNair hit two field
goals to give NICE a safe point
margin.
McNair and SOC Center Keith
Wade shared high scoring honors
with 23 points each. Northern
iciano led at halftime by ZH to ii.
Bradley Quintet
Plus Kentucky
Favored In NIB
New York, Mar. 8 U.R
Well, you can't say that Bradley
and Kentucky weren't warned. '
Bradley's Braves from Peoria,
111., were installed today as the
red-hot favorite to win the Na-
tional Invitation Basketball
tournament starting Saturday
and the Wildcats of Kentucky
were listed as a close second
choice.
It means that the Braves and
the Wildcats haven't got a pray
er, if the tourney's past history
means anything.
Four Big Upsets
Remember '49? Four straight
upsets in the quarter-final round,
then two more in the semi-final
and finally San Francisco up
ending Loyola of Chicago in the
all-dark horse finale?
It could happen again, for this
year's 12-teani field has been
generally hailed as one of the
most brilliant arrays of talent
ever assembled.
If history repeats, it will be
salt in Kentucky's wound, for
the Wildcats were the biggest
upset victim last year when, as
tourney favorites, they bowed to
Loyola in the quarter-finals.
Tornado Boxers Await
Matches With Roseburg.
Local high school boxers to
day awaited word from Rose
burg as to whether there defi
nitely will be an inter-school

Outstanding Grapple
Card Due
Georges Dusette gets another
chance to de-glamorize the Great
Atlas when they clash in one of
the triple main event bouts on
tomorrow night's weekly wres

The three-ply program, with
each bout to be for 45 minutes

together one of the greatest ar
rays of grappling talent assem
bled here in many a moon.
Although the Atlas - Dusette
mix is expected to draw most of
the interest, local fans are won
dering just how far their old fa
vorite, Pete Bclcastro, can come
up the comeback trail.
Bclcastro has been away from
