U.R) Kansas University's basket ball victory over La Salle In New York City Monday night touched off a student celebra tion here that soon assumed aspects of a riot, Students drove cars over the lawns of KU's campus, dodging pedestrians and smash ing fenders on trees.' Bonfires were ignited throughout the - city and as soon as the fire de partment would extinguish one another would mushroom in another section. Several KUers were doused by fire men's hoses. in the semi-finals of the Olym pic tryouts, quickly exercised his new-won right to name seven players to the Olympic, team. Picks Five Seniors "I'll pick my five seniors John Keller. Bill Lienhard, Bill Hougland, Clyde Lovellette and Bob Kenny," said the beaming Allen. "And with them, those two star Juniors, Charley Hoag and Dean Kelley." The other seven members of the Olympic team will be picked thusly: five from the Peoria, 111., Caterpillars, who won the other semi-final last night by Irouncing the Phillips Oilers, and two from the three other AAU teams that competed in the tournament Selection After final These players will not be se lected, however, until after the final game of the Olympic tour nament at Madison Square Gar den Tuesday night between Kan sas and the Caterpillars La Salle will play the Oilers in a conso lation. ' One thing is certain in sky scraping Lovellette, the six foot nine inch Kansas "point ma chine," the U.S. will be repre sented at Helsinki by one of the greatest players ever to. doa sneakers. :i Lovellette racked up an' amaz ing 40 points, more than half his team's total Monday night, but the mere total hardly tells the story. Lovellette Sparks Kansas For it was Big Clyde who ral lied the Jayhawks from 24-14 deficit and personally scored 16 points in the second period to close the gap to 40-35 at the half. And it was a basket by Clyde that put Kansas ahead fi nally at 56-55. Again, three straight baskets by the giant crushed La Salle's last hopes of a rally in the fourth period. Lovellette's big night gave him a record 864 points for the season, breaking the old mark of 831 set by Dick Groat of Duke last season.

Although he steadfastly re fuses to make any pennant pre dictions a custom he has ad hered to for many years Dur ocher leaves no doubt as to which team he considers best in the National league. "Take a look at my pitching staff," he says, smiling from ear to ear. "Is there any other team that can match it in the league? You bet there ain't! "Where are the other clubs go- Ted Williams, Coleman Face Marine Medics Jacksonville, Fla. UB) Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox and Gerry Coleman of the New York Yankees placed their base ball futures in the hands of Ma rine Corps doctors Tuesday , in sisting, "were no better than anybody else there's no reason for anybody to pity Us." The 33-year-old Williams and the 27-year-old Coleman will re port to the Marine Air Corps base Wednesday morning for physical examinations. Both will be recalled to active, duty on May 2 and required to serve two years if they pass. Both are captains in the re serves and served during World War n, Williams as a flight in structor and Coleman as a dive bomber pilot. , Championship Bout Slated Los Angeles (U.R : A-fahcv boxer and a rugged little brawler tangle Tuesday in a 15-round world lightweight championship title bout with the boxer de fending champion Jimmy Carter a prohibitive favorite" to retain his crown. But the 24-year-old New York campaigner, making his second title defense since winning the belt from Ike Williams nearly a year ago, may be in for a terrific battle from challenger Lauro Salas. The California featherweight champion, by way of Monterey, Mex., will be giving important pounds in his "big chance," yet his backers think he'll be around at the finish and going strong. He has never been kayoed in more than 70 pro bouts. And he doesn't expect to blemish that record Tuesday night BATTLE TO TIE Corpus Christi, Tex. U.R The Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Browns battled to a 10 inning 7-7 tie before a record crowd of 6,465 Monday night.

"Why, a lot of our second line pitchers are much better than most of the regulars on the other clubs. Take fellows like Sheldon Jones, Monte Kennedy, George Spencer and Al Corwin. Have you seen anybody on. the other clubs that are better 7 . Durocher's pitching staff is so much superior to any other that he well can afford to crow. "We're a better club all around," he insists. "Don't for get we have a pennant under our belt and that's a great thing for the morale of the entire team. Have That Feeling "We have that feeling now that nobody can beat us and, confidentially, I don't think any one can." . The Giants look Defter indeed. Bobby Thompson, hero of last year's dramatic pennant-clincher, has adopted a new crouching stance and has been bombarding the ball to all fields. Shortstop Alvin Dark also has been giving the ball a long ride downtown while first baseman Whitey Lockman seems set for one of the better years of his career. ; The only question appears to be at second base where cocky Davey Williams is attempting to plug the hole caused by Eddie Stanley's departure to the St. Louis Cardinals. . Cenlerfield Problem -. The Giants may have a prob lem in center field, however, as soon as. the Army calls youthful Willie Mays, who already has passed his induction physical test.-.; v. : . Big. muscular Monte Irvin, Na tional league ruhs-bated-in leader last season, and Don Mueller, who navigates like he never hurt his. ankle last October, are set In. the other outfield spots, with Clint Hartung, rookie Gail Hen ley and Chuck Diering, obtained from the Cardinals, also avail able. As usual, durable Wes West rum will do most of the catching, with either Ray Noble or Sal Yvars in reserve. The Giants figure to start with a bang and wind up equally as well, too.
