Newspaper Page TextDayton Encounters Louisville In National Invitational Final By JOHN GRIFFIN New York UP.) Now the National Invitation Tournament heads into the nationally-televised final round Saturday after noon with the big, burning ques tion: Can Louisville beat Dayton a third straight time with the title at stake? Tfce odds-men say "No," and make top-seeded Dayton a very slight favorite. But a lot of experts say "Yes," and tab second-seeded Louisville as the coming champion. A crowd of 16,125 that saw both score easy victories in Thursday n i g h t's semi - final round at Madison Square Gar den came away baffled. First they watched Louisville pull 22 points in front and breeze home, 89-79, over St. Joseph's of Phila delphia. Dayton would have to match that. But the Flyers more than matched this showing by crush ing St. Francis of Brooklyn in the other semi-final, 89-58. Trail ing by 20-19 after 12 minutes of play, Dayton turned the game into a shambles by outscoring the Terriers in the next 17 Vz minutes by an incredible 44-9 count. The Dayton bench-warmers ran out the final 12 minutes. Baseball THURSDAY EXHIBITIONS By United Press Baltimore (A) 8, Cleveland (A) 6 New York (N) 8. Chicago (N) 1 Boston (A) 2.
