NIT Upset
New York -(U.R) Dayton's
high-altitude Flyers, authors of
an impressive upset of second
seeded St. Louis, rode a 19-game
winning streak Thursday into
the semi-finals of the National
Invitation tournament along
with top-seeded Duquesne.
The Flyers, who average six
feet, five inches in their start
ing lineup with other lofty subs
waiting on call, stamped them
selves dangerous Tuesday night
as they walloped highly-touted
St. Louis, 68 to 58, in one quar
ter-final. '
In another quarter final, Du-
quesne's "twin towers of
strength, Jim Tucker and Dick
Ricketts, finally wore down and
trounced a plucky Holy Cross
team, 78 to 68.
So, in the semi-finals at Madi
son Square Garden Friday night,
Dayton will go against third
seeded St. Bonaventure and
Duquesne will face unseeded,
but red-hot, La Salle.
Height Story
Height was practically the
whole story in the Dayton-St.
Louis game. Don Monk Meineke
and "Jong John" Horan, a pair
of six-foot, seven-inchers, six
five Chuck Grigsby, six-three
Pete Boyle, and six-one Leland
Round Man Morris dominated
both backboards from the start
ing whistle. Gradually, the Day
ton entry pulled further ahead,
holding a 34-28 margin on half
time. Under the pressure of this
height, the St. Louis Billikens
did something that St. Louis
teams coached by astute Eddie
Hickey simply do not do they
lost their poise. Panicky and
pressing, they left themselves
wide open and Dayton, with
Grigsby sinking seven of their
first 11 points in the fourth per
iod opened up a 63-49 lead that
settled matters.

Vinegard Bend, most heralded

camp since Diz Dean, received

Tigers Will
Make Race
Interesting
Lakeland, Fla. flj.R) Red
Rolfe bemoaned the lack of
power, speed and relief pitch
ing Thursday, but still predicted
that his Detroit Tigers would be
in the American League pennant
fight "if we get a few breaks."
He tagged the Yankees and
the Indians as the clubs to beat,
but figured that the Red Sox,
White Sox, Athletics and his
own Tigers might make the
race "interesting."
"Even the Browns and Sena
tors figure to be tougher,"
Rolfe said.
"I'm more optimistic this
spring because we have Art
Houtteman back and Matt Batts
and Cliff Mapes should give us
more power. If Vic Wertz can
make good at first base and I
would say he has a good chance
it would add power to my in
field." " Last year, he recalled, all of
his infielders put together hit
only 22 homeruns.
The Tigers finished fifth last
year after nearly winning the
pennant the year before. The
loss of Houtteman to the armed
services and a season-long slump
by outfielder Hoot Evers were,
Rolfe believes, the major factors
in the Detroit collapse.
