(U.R) Southwtst Texas Stat of San Marcos controlled the consola tion gam of th 14th annual NAIB Baskaiball tournament tonight, defeating Portland university. 78-88. Kansas City (U.R) Murray, Ky., State college and Southwest Missouri State college won Fri day semi-final scuffles in the NAIB championship' tournament here. They were slated to vie in the finals Saturday night. Kansas C i t y (U.R) Murray, Ky., State college,' a team that has finished fourth, third and second in previous tries here, Newhouser Career Hangs In Balance Lakeland, Fla. (U.R) The baseball career of Hal New houser, one of the great left handed pitchers of the past decade, hung in the balance Saturday, but the king of the American league southpaws wasn't worried at all. "I'll either make it or I won't," he said. "If I find I can't help the club, that it hurts me too much to pitch, I'll throw in the glove as an active player. There is nothing more pitiful to my mind than a ball player who tries to carry on when he doesn't have it any more." Newhouser was of little help to the Detroit Tigers last year because of a chronic shoulder ailment. He wound up with a record of six victories against six defeats, but, admitting he had a bad season, insisted, "that with the breaks it could have well been nine victories against three defeats." , "I know I'll never be the pitch er I was, but unless my trouble kicks up again, I feel I might be able to win 12 or. 15 games for the Tigers this year, So far, I've felt fine and while I still am not using my full overhand mo tion, I'm hopeful I'll be able to pitch about every six days. I'm only 31, but this is my 13th season with the Tigers and in a stretch like that any one is going to start running out of gas." He plans on taking it easy until the season opens. "I won't know until then whether I can make it or not," he said. "But I feel so good I'm more optimistic than I have been since last July." PER MONTH Suadtr. Much It. 1SS1 will seek the NAIB basketball championship Saturday night, in a battle with Southwest Missouri State of Springfield. The Missourian?, seeded eighth at the start of the week-long toughest collegiate basketball test, in the nation, roared into the finals Friday night with a sparkling triumph over previous ly undefeated Southwest Texas State of San Marcos, 70 to 67, in a double overtime contest. Immediately after Spring field's success, fourth-seeded Murray surprised Portland, Ore., university, 58-57. The Kentucki ans staved off a closing rally by the far westerners, who had supplied the tournament's No. 1 upset in the quarterfinals, by de feating defending champion and top-seeded Hamline of St. Paul. Murray jumped to a 35-27 half time lead, held a 45-42 edge when the final quarter got under way and Portland, desperate de spite its rally, never was able to catch up. . SPORTSlULLETIIIS Buffalo, N.

Moratorium Imposed , On the post-season games the NCAA had imposed a moratori um on Its members to prevent any commitment for games after next New Year's Day, pending study by a committee of the evils of such contests. The ruling meant that no plans could be made for a 1953 national basket ball tournament. The NCAA and its conferences had restricted spring football practice to 20 sessions in 30 days and out of season basketball drills to 20 sessions in 24 days. It will be possible under the presidents' rules to have out of season basketball drills starting November 1, before opening of the season..
