Division
Saves NSC
From Upset
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
It's mighty hard to overlook a
chap who stands 6 feet, 10 in
ches, but that's just what was
happening to huge Bob Seitz
until he suddenly stepped into
the spotlight to save North Car
olina State from a major upset:
State managed to defeat Duke
84-78, at Raleigh, N.C., Tuesday
night to remain tied for the At
lantic Coast conference lead, but
it was only through the surprise
heroics of the husky substitute.
Seitz got bis chance when
State star Ronnie Shavlik col
lected a fourth personal foul
midway in the second half and
Duke assumed a 70-60 lead.
Seitz, with an average of 1.6
points per game, ambled in and
quickly stunned Duke with an
awesome display of hook-shooting
and rebounding. Only three
minutes after .his entry, State
tied the score.
Broke Game Open
With 1:56 to play, the score
was tied at 78-78 when he broke
the game open by sinking a tie
breaking basket, feeding Shav-.
lik for another, and then adding
the final goal of the game him
self. ,, .
The comeback victory en
abled State, ranked the nation's
No. 7 team, to remain tied with
Maryland for the league lead.
Maryland just barely squeaked
to victory, too, downing Clem
son, 68-66 at Washington.
Texas Christian clung to a
one-game lead in the Southwest
conference race Vby defeating
Texas, 75-56, as second-place
Southern Methodist kept the
pressure on by beating Texas
A&M, 81-56.
Cockell Tiff
With Rocky
Ires Moore
Grossinger, N.Y. (U.R)
Rocky ' Marciano 1 went c ahead
with plans today to defend his
heavyweight title against Don
Cockell in May at San Francis
co despite the outraged pro
tests of Archie Moore, who has
wired the governor of California
urging him to prevent the bout.
Moore took , the action shortly
after Rocky's manager, Al Weill,
pronounced Marciano's previous
ly injured nose was sufficiently
healed to permit a title defense
in May. .
Big Gate Predicted
Although Weill announced
that the bout with British Em
pire champion Cockell "prob
ably would be held in San Fran
cisco or London," it was believ
ed definite that Marciano will
fight outdoors in San Francisco's
Kezar stadium, where Promoter
Jimmy Murray Dredicted a mil.
I lion dollar oato
f g
j.ne gamblers in Las Vegas
were too honest to permit the
fight there," added the 38-year-old
light heavyweight champ
ion who has been clamoring for
a heavyweight title shot for al
most a year, "and they couldn't
get the fight in New York, so
they are trying to palm: it off on
California."
Tex Salkeld Announces
