Baylor Unanimous Choice for All-Coast By HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.R) The accent was on defense on the 1957 United Press All-Coast basketball team announced to day with five different teams represented on the first club but with the great sophomore, Elgin Baylor of Seattle Univer sity, being a unanimous choice for the squad. Baylor, the West's leading scorer and one of the tops in the nation, headed the first team; and another sophomore, Doug Smart of University of Wash ington also made it. The other three men are Larry Friend, California: Mike Farmer, USF; and Dick Banton, UCLA. Not High in Scoring This club was chosen mostly for its great defensive abilities and as a unit it doesn't rank high on scoring ability, although it could hold its own in most company. Only Baylor is a standout in the scoring department, with a 30-point average. But defensively it is one of the best of all-time Young Smart led the Pacific Coast conference in rebounds; Friend was a de fensive standout for the Cal team that goes to the NCAA play-offs; Farmer stood out in the same department for the USF team that also goes to the play-offs; Banton was the speed demon in 'the Bruin defense; and Baylor led his team to a berth in the National Invitational tournament at Madison Souare Garden.

North Carolina, West Virginia Advance Toward NCAA Tourney turned the trick against triple teaming in the second half after By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer A record-busting scoring spree by Lennie Rosenbluth and a care-free clowning show by Hot Rod Hundley sent North Caro lina and West Virginia surging closer today to the only two berths remaining in the NCAA basketball tournament. Yale became the 21st team in the 23-team carnival Thursday night when it inherited the Ivy league championship as runner- up Dartmouth lost to Harvard, 69-60. North Carolina, the nation's No. 1 team, is expected to win the Atlantic Coast conference tournament and qualify- for an NCAA game against Yale in New York next Tuesday. And, led by Rosenbluth, the Tar Heels easily won their opening ACC game Thursday night, 81-61, over Clemson. Len Score 45 Points Rosenbluth's 45 points eclipsed a 41-point effort earlier in the day by Grady Wallace, South Carolina's national scoring lead er, and set two ACC tourney records for points in a single ; game, and 19 baskets in one game. What's more, the All American from New York City scoring 27 in the first half. Hundley, who was named to the United Press All-America team with Rosenbluth and Wal lace earlier this week, was just out for laughs Thursday night. While his teammates romped to a 71-51 victory over Davidson in the Southern Conference tournament at Richmond, Va., the Hot Rod scorned scoring. For the first time in his col lege career Hundley didn't scor a basket. He didn't really try, for he took only six shots and one of those was from behind his back. His four free throws gave him the lowest point total of his career. But Hundley "wowed" a delighted crowd with his antics. The National Invitational tournament in New York an nounced that it has seeded only two teams in its 12-team field Seattle 22-2 and Bradley 19-5. ELECTRONICS SCOUT West Palm Beach, Fla. (U.R) An electronic "scout" has in vaded the baseball training camp of the Kansas City Athletics.
