the first, time since the end of
World War II that the tourney
has not been held. The 22-game
limit imposed by the Oregon
School Activities association and
the diminishing number of B
schools have put the stopper on
the hoop event which dated back
to 1927.

Riding high atop the league

back since coming to the Wil

Louisville Accepts
NIT Berth; Xavier
Hands Team 1 st Loss
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
Louisville, victim of a 40-point
drubbing in one of the most
astounding upsets of the basket
ball season, must be wondering
today what lies ahead in the Na
tional Invitation Tournament.
"Monday started out as a day of
jubilee for the Cardinals, be
cause they announced the ac
ceptance of a bid to' the big NIT
at New York's Madison Square
Garden. It ended with a stunning
99-59 walloping by Xavier of
Ohio at Cincinnati.
It was not so much that Louis
ville, ranked fifth nationally by
the United Press with a 19-1 rec
ord. before Monday night, lost
because Xavier also has an NIT
berth. But the humiliating loss
saw the Cardinals outplayed in
every phase of the game as their
11-game winning streak went
smash.
Louisville was the seventh
team named to the 12-team NIT
field. No teams have yet been
named for the NCAA tourna
ment, where selection depends
for the most part on conference
championships.
Two Leads Strengthened
Monday night's important
league action saw Illinois and
Alabama strengthen their con
ference leads, while Wake For
est and West Virginia each took
so-called "undisputed" league
lead.
Illinois, ranked No. 3 national
ly, held onto the top spot in the
Big Ten with an easy 89-66 rout
of Michigan. The win made the
mini's perfect league record 8-0,
was their 14th straight victory,
and their 15th against a single
loss this season.
Alabama stayed in front in
the Southeastern ' Conference,
also with an 8-0 record, by wal
loping Florida, 108-74. It was
Alabama's 10th straight win,
15th in 18 games.
Wake Forest edged ahead in
the Atlantic Coast Conference by
beating Richmond. 73-68. Wake
Forest has a 10-2 mark to 9-2
each for Duke and North Caro
lina, but Duke can catch up by
beating North Carolina State,
the nation's No. 4 team, in one
of tonight's top games. ;
West Virginia Wins
West Virginia moved ahead in
the Southern Conference with a
105-90 ' win over : William and
Mary. West Virginia, has a 9-2
mark to - George - Washington's
8-2 '
In other leading, games: Iowa
stayed one game behind Illinois
in the Big Ten by routing Pur

No. 6 nationally, stayed on Ala
RITO HOMERO
Meets Fletcher at GP
Montana, Savage
Rematch Slated
Wednesday Night
(Spot bottom page with 1 col ct)
Grants Pass A rematch be
tween grapplers Bull Montana
and Wild Bill Savage in the Jo
sephine county fairgrounds
arena has been arranged for
Wednesday night by Matchmak
er Elton Owen.
There will be no time limit
and winner will take all, Owen
stated.
Last week's ruckus between
the two has been declared "no
contest." The referee was slug
ged. The ring was practically
torn apart and some repairs will
have to be made, according to
the promoter. The two men
wound up battling under the
ring.
Owen said that Savage bought
his way out of a Longyiew,
Wash., contract in order to meet
Montana again. He wants to hang
the first defeat on Montana.
May Have Two Refs
The matchmaker is debating
on the possibility of using two
referees.- Savage was bleeding
from a head wound at the end
of the scrape last week.
Rito Romero, TV star and gay
caballero from Mexico, will take
on Bill Fletcher in the opening
one-hour match. His speed and
savvy made a big hit last week
Fletcher is a dynamo in the ring
and a scientific match is ex
pected.
Owen reported that extra ring
side seats will be set up to pro
vide for the expected large
bama's heels with a "74-67 vic
tory over.Tulane for a 17-2 over
all record, and Kentucky did the
same with an 86-65 route ofMis

ranked Holy Cross downed

Conference with a 61-52 win

Georgia Tech set a team scoring
mark in beating Louisiana , St.,
97-74; Bob McCarty of Virginia
had 42 points in a 96-85 win over
Clemson, and Kansas State
edged Wyoming, 78-74.
FINKS TO DECIDE
Pittsburgh (U.R) The Pitts
burgh Steelers said today it was
up to quarterback Jim Finks to
jlecide whether he would accept
an assistant coaching position at
Notre Dame but that they "hope
he remains with us." Finks, con
sidered one of the best short
passers in the National Football
League, visited, the Notre Dame
campus last week.

scheduled to go 10 rounds.
Both : Peter Mueller of Ger
many r'and Jimmy Martinez,
noted for their- knockout

go the distance. "I knock him
out," Mueller mutters in his best
English while Martinez swears,
"I'll be in there to belt him out."
Experts predict that should
the bout go the full 10 rounds,
Martinez probably would be tag
ged for :the win. The same dop-
irters have Mueller pegged as the
winner, should the victory come

Ask Return Bout
New York (U.R) Hardy (Ba

chewing gum factory, and hand
some Ray Drake, student of elec
tronics, both asked for a return
bout today to untangle their
draw in Monday night's TV mid
dleweight fight at St. Nicholas
Arena.
Drake, 25, wound up with an
even.break although Referee Ray
Miller had warned 'him repeat-'
edly for various infractions and
penalized him two rounds for
fouls. Yet Miller unexpectedly
favored Drake on rounds, 6-4.
Smallwood. weighing 158VS
pounds to Drake's 15&V, was fa
vored on a rounds basis, 5-4-1,
by Judge Artie Aidala.
However, Judge Nick Gamboli
gave each five rounds and each
five points, and called the fight
even. The United Press favored
Smallwood, 6-4. However, a poll
"of ringside writers showed six
for Drake and four for Small
wood. Smallwood's record now is 16-4-2;
Drake's 21-6-1.
Monday night Smallwood
went into the ring favored at 7-5
because of late support that
switched the betting from 8-5 fa
voring . Drake. Smallwood gave,
Ray a body beating because Ray
allegedly has a glass jaw. There
were no knockdowns. Drake slip
