E. 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.
