Dayton 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.

Dayton came out of Thursday
night's easy triumph grimly de
termined to win "the big one."
Seven-foot Bill Uhl, who made a
good showing with 13 points was
convinced he has finally con
quered his Garden "jinx."
Uhl was a factor, but 6-8 Jim
Palmer and Jim Paxson, with
18 points each, were the big
men in the Dayton romp. Pax

Fanfare
The Oregon Class A-l high
school basketball tournament
booklet is now off the press. This
writer received a copy in the
mail yesterday. Art Litchman
and his staff of University of
Oregon publicity men and statis
ticians have done another bang
up job of compiling and preserv
ing the records of the tourney
and of making them available to
the public in souvenir booklet
form. The book is well worth
the half-a-buck asked.
MEDFORD TOP SCORER
There are a good number of
points of interest to Medford
fans. Among the foremost: The
Black Tornado was the high
scoring team of the tourna
ment in running ' up its 258
points in its second place
team finish. Medford was one
of, eight of the 16 tourney
teams to play four games. In
total tourney scoring Medford
exceeded . by 16 points the
championship Franklin Quak
ers who had 242 counters. Eu
gene was next with 239. Med
ford's game average of 64.5
was also high.
SECOND IN AVERAGES

tournament the Black Tornado's
overall record of .368 was second

Charley Tyra, 6-8, tuned up
for Saturday's duel with Uhl by
zipping in 29 points against St.

in a surge to a 45-27 halftime
lead. St. Joseph's battled back to

.374. The Medfordites were also
second high with .627 average
compared to McLoughlin's .636.
Team offensive statistics show
the Tornado with its 175 re
bounds fifth in that department
to Franklin's 200. On the nega
tive side Medford was the heavy
fouling team with 84 personals.
Opponents scored 232 points
against Medford for an average
of 58 points per game which
ranked the Tornado ninth in
team defense. Rivals made a
.331 average in field shots against
the Medford club and an aver
age fo .526 of the free tries.
GROSSENBACHER SHINES
Bjarne Jensen, 6-9 Franklin

goals in a tourney game, 12,
and in the tournament, 39. He
had the top number of re
bounds in a game, 26, and for
the tournament, 91.
Eddie Grossenbacher, Mil
waukie set a new tourney
record with 22 out of 23 free
shots for a .957 average. His
18 consecutive free tosses was
also a new mark.
MUCH INFORMATION
The foregoing has been a hur
ried perusal of the booklet, there
is loads of other information,
some of which has been reported
previously by this writer. There
are pictures of Medford and
other teams in action, individual
pictures of tourney all-stars, in

play of the final game, statistics
of every game of the tourney,

Portland E-R Fight
Takes Recall Threat
' Portland (U.R) Joe Dobbins
chairman of the Citizens for
East Side Recreation center, has
called upon Mayor Fred Peter
son of Portland to demand the
resignation of the Exposition-
Recreation Center five-man com
mittee or face the threat of a
recall.
Dobbins, nimself a candidate
for mayor, said the committee
would meet tonight to draw up
the resolution ordering the
mayor to demand the E-R com
mission resignation. He added:
"Should this move fail, our
only other recourse is to insti
gate the recall movement
against the mayor and appoint
a man in his place who will ask
for the resignations.
An announcement by the E-R
commission this week that an
architectural firm is to submit
plans for various East Side sites
for the $8,000,000 center
prompted Dobbin to say:
"This means only a study of
the Rose City Golf course site,
And this is too beautiful a site
to be made into a center."
