Favored
In NIT
By IIl'GIl FIXIXKTON Jit
NEW YORK W If basketball
form holds true, as It has througn
most of the 17th National Invita
tion Tournament, Duquesne's Iron
Dukes will beat Holy Cross tonight
and take the title that has eluded
them ever since they first went
to the final round 14 years ago.
But Holy Cross is the only team
to upset the dope so far in the
tournament and its part of NIT
"form" that there has to be at
least one outsider to cause trouble.
Until the Crusaders, the third
ranked team, spilled second-seeded
Western Kentucky 75-69 Thursday
night, the favorites had won every
game. And for the first time since
tne field was expanded to 12
teams, all four seeded - teams
reached the semi-finals.
CHANCE
On this basis, the fired-up Cru
saders, urged on by the largest
and noisiest rooting section of any
of the tournament entries, figure
to have a good chance of perpe
trating another upset. It should be
an interesting clasn oetween one
of the best defensive teams in
America, Duquesne, and one of Ihe
strongest oiiensive aggregations,
Holy Cross.
The preliminary third place
game between western Kentucky
and Niagara may also have Us
bright moments. The Kentucky
team, tabbed by veteran Coach Ed
Diddle as the best in his 34 year;,
didn't like being beaten for the
second time In 31 games. The Hill
toppers were particularly peeved
because they thought one bad call
by a referee hurt them. Niagara,
smart delenslve team like D'l-
quesne, might also find a way to
slow down the Kentucky "race
horses."
REPLAY
Tonight's final also will be a re
play of the 1952 quarter final
game, when Duquesne beat Holy
Cross 78-68 after a scoring , duel
between Togo Palazzt and Dick
Rlcketts. Rlcketts, a lreshmau
then, and Palazzl, a sophomore.
each scored 19 points that time.
This year, as leaders of their
teams, they're rivals for Tourna
ment scoring honors and the most
valuable player award.
It Is the seventh NIT for Du
quesne, which lost to Colorado in
the 1940 filial and didn't get to the
last round again until this year.
It's only the second NIT for Holy
Cross, which also has played in
uuee National Collegiate. A. A,
tournaments the past six years.

post-season basketball tournament.
But the Irish, who stunned In.
dlana, the 1953 winner, last night
by the margin of a single point
6544 must go up against Penn
State, another upset-minded outfit
tonight in Iowa City in the quarter
finals.

In the first same. Idaho State.
champion of the Rocky Mountain
Conference, will meet the Colora
do Aggies, champions of the Sky
line Conference, for third place in
the regionals. .
STEAM
Southern California; normally a
team - that stresses defense, felt
out Idahb State carefully, then
turned - on offensive steam in the
final period to win going away.
Southern California had a big
height advantage and never
trailed.
Santa Clara also showed s
strong defense, throwing up a
zone that forced Colorado AIM
to shoot from far out. Few of the
Aggies' shots went through.
with this the winners coupled a
fast break that had the Aggies
reeling as early as the second
quarter. The halftlme margin was
44-27 and later in the game the
advantage was as high as 35
points.
J POINTS
Jim Young, (-3 Santa Clara for
ward, led. the scoring with 20
points, taking the honors away
from 6-9 Ken Sears, who usually
leads the way. Seaxs had 11. The
Broncos, their shooting percent
age aided by numerous lay-Ins aft
er fast breaks, made no less than
50 per cent of their shots.
For Southern California, Roy Ir-
vln, 6-5 center, sank hook shots re
peatedly to total 25 points. His
team made good on 37 per cent
of Its field goal attempts.
HEIGHT
Santa Clara, averaging nearly
6-4, will carry a height advantage
the game Saturdy night, but
will be - slight. The Snta Clara
record Is 21-6, ' Southern Califor
nia's 19-12.

Rosenthal dropped in 25 points,
made a free throw 15 seconds be
fore the end that provided the
eventual margin of victory and
completely throttled all-America,
Don Schlundt who -made but one
field goal.
Rosenthal collapsed and became
ill on the sidelines with a little
more than a minute to play. He
summoned enough strength, how
ever, to play the final seconds. It
was a fine all-around performance '
by the courageous youngster.
Penn State, for its part, upended
Louisiana SUte 78-70 in the other
half of the Iowa City doubleheader
so Notre Dame will have its hands
full.
NO UPSETS .
The other round of 16 games did
not provide any startling form re
versals. La Salle whipped North
Carolina State 88-81 and Navy
edsed Cornell 69-07 ir. Philadel
phia; Oklahoma ASM slugged Rice
51-45 and Bradley turned back Col
orado 76-64 at Stillwater, and ut
Corvallls, Southern California
dumped Idaho State 73-50 and
Santa Clara halted Colorado A4:M
73-50. . .
Penn State, an at-large entry
like Notre Dame, must be an un
derrated team. The Nittany Liou
couldn't do much with LSU'a all
America, Bob Pettlt, who poured
34 points through the hoop, but
they did stop his mates. .
Jesse Arnell was high man Ior
Penn State with 24 points.
Another all-America. Tom Go) a -
of La Salle, had better luck than
Pettlt. . He' scored 26 points and
grabbed the same number of re
bounds In his team's triumph over
North Carolina State. The game
was close until the last five min
utes. THRILLER
The other half of the Philadel
phia twin bill was a real thriller
and unhearalded Ken McCally
turned out to be the big gun in
Navy's victory over Cornell. He
made only one basket but it was
the winning one with three sec
onds to go.
Bradley's victory over Colorado
was engineered to a great extent
by Bob Carney,- who set a new
NCAA record for foul shots, hit
ting for 23 of them. He totaled 37
points for the game. Seattle's John
ny O'Brien held the old foul rec
ord 18.
Another upset looked in the mak
ing for three periods of the Okla
homa A&M Rice contest. At one
point in the third period, the South
west Conference champions were
ahead by 10 points. But the Aggies
found the range in the final quart
er and pulled away.
BIG GUN
Itoy Irvin was the big gun for
Southern California, the Pacific
Coast champion. He . scored 25
points, while the rest of the Tro
janu were permitting Idaho State
tew good shots.
Colorado A&M held Ken Searj,
Santa Clara's 6-9 high scorer, to
11 points. But where he left olf
his mates picked up. Jim Young
had 20 points and Dennie Stuehm
pitched In 18.
Meanwhile, two other major
postseason tournaments wind up.
In the National Invitation Tourna

top-seeded Duquesne ruled, the fa
vorite over Holy Cross,-

tories last night. St. Benedicts
