Dayton Faces
LaSalle Five
In NIT Final
New York (U.R) It will be
veteran Dayton, led by "power
tower" Don Mineke, against La
Salle's young but canny Explor
ers Saturday night in a surprise,
all-unseeded windup to the Na
tional Invitation Basketball tour
nament. The Dayton Flyers will be
appearing in the finale for the
second straight year, seeking to
atone for their 1951 defeat by
Brigham Young.
For La Salle, playing in its
fourth NIT in five years, this
will be the first time it will play
for the top prize.
Shunted aside by the seeding
committee at the start of play,
both classy teams proved to be
rich and deep in talent and their
battle before an expected sell
out throng of 18,500 at Madison
Square Garden looms as strictly
a pick em affair.
La Salle, the crowd's favorite
from the opening round with its
dazzling shotmaking, showed in
Thursday night's surprising rout
of top-seeded Duquesne, 59-46,
that it is now playing at the
very peak of its game and owns
a real star in six foot five inch
Norm Grekin.
And Dayton, posting an easier-
tnan-it-sounds e-ez win over
third-seeded St. Bonaventure as
the marvelous Mineke hooped
25 points, ran its awesome win
ning streak to 20 games.

As far as Olson is concerned,
Robinson has nothing but praise.
