Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, MARCH 21. 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE ELEVEN Dayton Flyers Pushed By Xavier NEW YORK UV-Daytons top seeded Flyers are still alive In Uie National Invitation Basketball Tournament only, says Coach Tom Blackburn, "because of an act of God." By the grace of God and that lousy foul shooting: of Xavier's in the first half. That's the only rea son we'll be around for the semi finals tomorrow night." There wasn't much else that would explain how the Flyers managed to outlast the Muske teers from Cincinnati 72-68 in last night's quarter-finpl game. Third - seeded St. Joseph's of Philadelphia made it more easily into the semifinals. With a second half spurt, they beat Seton Hall 74-65 in the first game of the Mad ison Square Garden twin bill. Dayton, a three-time runner-up and never a champ in four previ ous NIT attempts, now faces St. Francis of Brooklyn, the Cinderel la team. St. Joseph's opposes second-seeded Louisville in Thurs day night's semifinals. The championship game will be Saturday. Xavier. which twice lost to Day ton during the regular season, wasn't given much chance against the Flyers, particularly after lead ing scorer Dave Piontek was chucked off the squad for missing a 3:45 a.m. bed check Sunday. But the Musketeers, 1 o o k i nig like midgets beside Dayton's starting five who average around 6-6, were fired sky high. With 6-6 Frank Tartaron and Hank Schmidt as the "big" men, Xavier led by 8 after 10 minutes and was ahead 32-29 at the inter mission. What's more, they out bounded the Davtons topped by seven-foot Bill Uhl 32-31 in the first half and were only three short of the Flyers' 57 for the game. "Maybe that's evidence of what beat us," said Xavier Coach Ned Wulk. "Maybe we were up too high for the game. You can let off the pressure under the boards but it gets you at the foul line." St. Joseph's, a club that prays before and after each game, found Itself with 4 minutes gone in the second half and took the lead for good with a 16-2 tear that made it 55-44. Seton Hall went five minutes without a basket in that Hawk rally. Hoop Powers Have Sights On Cage Win EVANSTON, 111. HI San Fran cisco Is a prohibitive favorite to reach its goal of two straight NCAA basketball titles Friday night but the three other contest ants also have axes to grind. While the Dons are confident they'll become the third team in history to win two successive ti tles. Southern Methodist, Temple and Iowa also have their sights set on winning. There's no reason the Dons shouldn't be confident that they'll join Oklahoma A&M (1945-46) and Kentucky (1948-49) as two-straight winners. They've won 53 straight,' including 27 games this season. Southern Methodist's mustangs (25-2) go into the semifinals against San Francisco with a 19 game winning streak. They're hoping to become the first title winner from the Southwest Con ference.' Tomorrow's opening game pits Iowa and Temple. Temple boasts a fast break led by Hal Lear and Guy Rodgers. It will have the services of Hal Rein feld, a steady backcourt man who helped Temple compile a 26-3 rec cord. He suffered a wrenched back in the Canislus game Satur day night but reportedly will be in shape to play against Iowa. Iowa, the representative from the powerful Big Ten, also has a "mission." The Hawkeyes will field the same team which fin ished fourth last year after los ing to La Salle and falling apart before Colorado in the battle for third place. it'i it's at 7th & Klamath! PBCEC iw wsT Olds - Cadillac urvives NEA Announces Prep A-A Hoop Standouts NEW YORK (NEA) It's much more difficult to pick an All-America High School team than a sim ilar college squad.

PETERSBURG, Fla. If) Casey Stengel, the New York Yankees' double talking manag er who triple platooned his way to six American League pennants in seven years, stuck to a single track Wednesday. Resorting to simple, convention al English, a language he seldom uses, the professor flatly declared the Yankees will win the pennant again this season. The wise old skipper ack nowledged the opposition will be stronger tnis year but he refused to fall back on any ifs, ands or buts as he predicted His team will reo resent the American League in the World Series next October. "Our writers figure we'll win and the players figure we'll win and I bslleve 'em," Casey said between huge winks. "That's the way I feel. So why not say It? I know the other sev en managers are smart. They must be because none of m got fired last year. So maybe we won't win. But I think we will." Stengel admitted the Boston Red Sox, with Ted Williams going from the starting gate, will be tough, as will Chicago and Detroit. But he believes Cleveland again will give the Yankees the most trouble, with Boston finishing third and Chi cago and Detroit battling it out for fourth. "My writers like Boston for sec ond but I naturally have to fav or the Indians because that team beat me on the season last year the only club ever to do It. They've still got the best pitching In the league with Early Wynn, Bob Lemon and Mike Garcia and those reliefers (Don Mossi and Ray Narleskl) are murder. And I'm not forgetting that lefthander. Herb Score, either. That kid really has it. I'd be crazy to think beating Cleveland will be easy." Casey spoke respectuflly of the White Sox who. he figured will be tougher on offense and defense. "They've got a pretty strong outfield with Larry Doby, Minnie Minoso and Jim Rivera almost as good as mine." Stengel thinks the Yankees will repeat because he has a stronger pitching staff, a well-balanced in field double teamed at every po sition, the strongest outfield in the league and Yogi Berra for catch er.
