VInnie Ernst, the Friars' 5-8 blond-haired guard, was awarded the tournament's "most valuable player" tro phy. Ernst was the big little man In Providence's semi final victory over Holy Cross Thursday night, but scored only four points in Saturday's climatic game Hadnot wound up with 18 points, one more than Zaluckl, while Tom Kleffer tossed in 18 points for the Billikeni. Kiffer, in addtion to lead ing the St. Louis attack, also did a good job guarding the Friars other hotshot guard John Egan, who was limited to nine points.

Ore. - (UPD-Okla- homa State clinched the 31st annual NCAA wrestling championship in semi-final consolation action here Satur day. The Cowboys added nine points to run their total to 72 and maintain their 21-point lead over defending champion and second place Oklahoma. The Sooners also added nine points today. It was the 22nd title for Oklahoma State and the 27th time an Oklahoma school had won the crown. Corvallls, Ore. - HJPD - Okla- Cuban KO's Frenchman In Second New York UPD Florentino Fernandez, Cuban knockout artist, earned a possible mid dleweight title fight Saturday by flattening Marcel Plgou of France in the second round of a nationally-televised bout at Madison Square Garden. Fernandez, who weighed 158 pounds to Pigou's 159, dropped the Frenchman with a solid left hook. Pigou tried hard to get up but was count ed out at 2:11 while crouched on his hands and knees. The Frenchman had to be helped to his corner and it took several minutes for his handlers to bring him around. Before the fight, Marv Jen sen, manager of Gene Full mer, who holds the NBA ver sion of the world middle weight crown, indicated he would give the winner a shot at Fullmer. It was the 24 th kayo in 30 pro bouts for Fernandez, who graduated last year from the welterweight ranks. The Cu ban has lost only two fights. It was Pigou s fourth fight in the United States but his first in the Garden. The Frenchman, whose style is more American than Euro pean, mixed freely with Fer nandez in the first round but did catch a few solid punches that raised welts on his body. Slipped to Canvas Pigou slipped to the canvas early in the second round. When he arose, Fernandez caught him with a strong right to the face. The Cuban moved in quickly, and shook Marcel again with a barrage of punches, then unloaded his feared left hook that sent Plgou toppling to the canvas. Before his electrifying knockout, Fernandez opened a slight cut alongside Pigou's left eye. The Cuban suffered a slight head gash, probably caused when he and Pigou butted heads early in the sec ond round. It was only the fourth de feat in 41 pro fights for Pigou, a native of Chartres, France. In his last American appear ance, he outpointed ringwise Ralph (Tiger) Jones at Boston last November.
