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.

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. It's impossible
for any group of experts to see
every outstanding high school play
er in the nation.
But Haskell Cohen of the Na
tional Basketball Association has
taken a nation-wide poll of college
and professional coaches and
scouts and sportswriters lor NEA
Service. From his digging, has
come a mythical high school squad
of the H players all agree are the
most sought-after in the country
by colleges. It follows that the
pros will be after them next. Bul
ova watches will be presented to
the 11 NEA stars.
Here are the players the experts
basketball men who must know
about these youngsters for a liv
inghave picked as the ones they
want the most:

Another top collection of colleg
ians, Boulder, Colo., Luckett-Nix,

Yank Flag
ST. 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. Cars Enter
3rd Leg Of
Mobilgas Run
SALT LAKE CITY Ifl Twenty
cars in the Mobilgas Economy
Run left here Wednesday for
Grand Junction, Colo., on the
third leg of their Los Angeles-to-
Colorado Springs jaunt.
The Imperial Southampton held
a slim lead as the cars departed.
It gained an early edge in the
drive from Los Angeles to Las
Vegas Monday and held on to it
in the drive from Las Vegas to
Salt Lake City Tuesday.
The Imperial was averaging 21.5
miles per gallon and 62.6 ton miles
per gallon after the second day.
It was followed by a Pontiac
Chieftain with 21.5 and 52.8; a
Packard 400 with 18.1 and 52.5; an
Oldsmoblle 88 with 19.0 and 51.8.
and an Oldsmoblle 88 with 19.8 and
51.1. The ton-mile average repre
sents the car's weight multiplied
by miles traveled, divided by gal
lons of gasoline used.
One car went along just for the
ride. The Ford Falrlane Victoria
6 was disqualified Tuesday when
it arrived In Salt Lake City two
minutes late on a strict schedule.
The cars will drive from Grand
Junction to Colorado Springs
Thursday. The entire trip from Los
Angeles to Colorado Springs is
