Marquette Surges Over Notre Dame By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Let those "doubting Thom ases" who didn't believe Mar quette's class be silent today, because the Warriors made their 21st straight victory a real con vincer. Trailing by 11 points after four minutes and 12 points at halftime, Marquette came storm ing back to beat a first-class Notre Dame team, 84-74, on the Irish' court at South Bend, Ind. The Warriors, unbeaten since their opening game loss to Mich igan State, already have been picked for the NCAA Tourna ment. Notre Dame, with only an 11-8 record but a team that fig ured to be mighty tough on its home court started as if to blast Marquette off the floor by seiz ing a 12-1 lead. Slowly the War riors crept back to a three-point deficit and then Notre Dame ripped off nine straight for a 37-25 halftime lead. Grimly Mar quette battled back to tie at 47 47 with 11 minutes and then Bob Walczak's two free throws put the Warriors ahead to stay. Walczak led the attack with 27 points, while Lloyd Aubrey paced Notre Dame with 23. La Salle Officially In Marquette was joined in the NCAA Tournament Thursday by defending champion La Salle (21-4) and Memphis State (17-3), which completed the total of five "members at large" to be se lected from the East. The National Invitation Tournament added LaFayetJe (20-2) and Connecticut (20-3) to its field. Only two places remain to be filled in the big Madison Square Garden carnival and they are expected to come from this group: Tennessee, Alabama, Texas Tech, West Texas State, Williams, St. Louis, Tulsa, De- Paul, and Texas Christian. Some of these are involved in team races and can go to the NIT only if they fail to win their league championship and an NCAA berth. Jimmy Demaret Houston Leader Houston, Tex.

The famed woman athlete "has been advised by her doctor to withdraw from further tour nament play," her husband, George Zaharias, told newsmen by telephone Thursday night. He did not say how long her "re tirement" would last. The Babe's sudden announce ment threw a cloud over the tournament that even obscured a course record 67 fired in the opening round by Louise Suggs of Atlanta, Ga. The Georgian's brilliant round of 34-33 gave her a three-stroke lead over Betty Hicks of Palm Springs, Calif., who shot a 70. PLANS ATTACK Ella Kowal ski, above, gives a demonstra tion of what is in store for Gerry Hunter if her foe starts any more rough stuff when they meet in a feature wrestling match at Merrick's arena Saturday night. Another Big Crowd Expected To Watch Gals Mix Saturday Another capacity crowd is ex pected to be on hand at- Mer rick's arena tomorrow night when Ella Kowalski and Gerry Hunter take up where they left off last ' week. The attractive misses went 30 minutes . to a draw in their wrestling set-to and, at . Miss Kowalski's insist ence, will have no time limit this time. Two falls will be the Miss Kowalski, red-haired Polish lassie from Texas, charg ed that the blonde bombshell wasn't checked close enough by the referee last week and that Miss Hunter's illegal tactics kept her from winning. In an attempt to satisfy Miss Kowalski on her referee charges, Promoter Mack Lillard, with ap proval of the Medford State Athletic commission,, has named Larry Presnell, Portland police man, as the third person in the ring. Harold (Buck) Davidson said yesterday he didn't expect to have too much , trouble with. Yoggi Hussane when they square off for 45 minutes or two out of three falls. Hussane issued the challenge after he was punch ed around last week when he protested Davidson's work as the referee. Johnny Dobbs, who rivals Hussane as the meanie champion at the local arena, will have his work cut out for him when he meets willing Joe Hahn, Port land fireman, also for 45 min utes or two out of three falls. The first match starts at 8:30 p.m. with doors to open an hour earlier. iiu a j i CHARGE IT TOMORROW PAY APRIL 10- END-OF-MONTH Check These Values On Men's Apparel Reg. 1.00 Stretch Sox 21.50 Reg. 1.49 Work Shirts 1.00 or 21,95 Heavy duty cotton chambray work shirts, two-button pockets, sanforiz ed.
