peration baskets by Indiana's Boh Leonard in the final seconds. . Penn State, a last-minute "at large” entry in the tournament, also attributed its victory over LSU to one man—Jesse Arnelld—who stole the rebound play from the Tigers’ illustrious Bob Pettit j and contributed 24 points. Pettit scored 34 points, but got little help : from his jittery mates. Sophomore Charley Singley teamed up beautifully with AllAmerica Tom Gola in leading I-a Salle to victory over North Carolina State. Each scored 26 points, while Gola also turned in 26 rebounds. Don Lange’s 29 points and John Clune's 21 tallies helped set up navy’s victory over Cornell. However. the winning margin was provided by the Middies' unheralded Ken McG alley. who droppedin a long set shot with only three J seconds remaining. It was McCali ley's only basket of the game. Lee ; Morton led Cornell with 34 points. At Stillwater, the Aggies trailed : Rice until the final two minutes when they finally barged ahead on a free throw and a field goal by forward Mack Carter. That finished the Owls, who had led by nine points midway in the third period. Guard Bob Carney set a new NCAA playoff record by converting 23 free throws for Bradley against Colorado. He also scored seven field goals for a total of 37 points. Meanwhile, the Braves limited Colorado center Burdette Haldorson to. 11 points — less than half his season average. At Corvallis, center Roy Irwin's 25 points led Southern California to its runaway victory over Idaho State, while Santa Clara breezed to an easy triumph over A&M.

Semi-Finals To Cut Survivors To Four Teams INDIANAPOLIS UP — Four small schools battled their larger foes today for the right to enter next week’s four-team finals of the 44th annual Indiana high school basketball tourney. About 42,000 fans were expected to witness the three-game sessions a,t the Indiana fieldhouse in Bloomington. Butler fieldhouse here, the Fort Wayne Coliseum, and the Purdue fieldhouse ut Lafayette. Television coverage was provided at every center but Lafayette, and most of Indiana's 52 radio stations fed play-by-play back to their thousands of listeners. Montezuma, which collided with Milan, one of the two 1953 finalists still alive, has only students. Milan, whiep. dashed to fame in the capital city area last year by.' advancing to the "fieldhouse four," has only 161. Winslow, which opposed Evansville Central at Bloomington .has the tallest club, averaging about 6-toot-2. but has an enrollment of just 236. And Mississinewa. the only unbeaten member of the "Sweet 16" seeking its 27th win at the expense of Kokomo at Fort Wayne, checked in with 435 students. Both Montezuma and Mississinewa gained the third tourney round for the first time, and Winslow and Elkhart also are seeking their fiist finals' berths. Probably the most “crucial" afternoon games were Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, runner-up to champion South Bend Central last year, against Jeffersonville at Bloomington, and Fort Wayne North against Muncie Central at Fort Wayne. All four are members of the Uinited Press coaches poll, topped by Gerstmeyer throughout the season. Indianapolis, wmen has yet tp furnish a state champion, hoped the flying Tigers of Crispus Attucks would-get jobdone, Butin order to gain the finals they had to beat Columbus, then probably defense-minded Milan. The real struggle was predicted for Purdue, where Lafayette's Broncos collided with Elkhart, ranked second in the state, and ninth-rat-ed Hammond opposed Logansport, the top-ranking offensive power in two tourney Hammend's Wildcats were not at full strength. They lost rebound ace Tom Granack earlier this week with a knee injury. Four other Hammond players also nursed ailments but expected to be ready to go. BOWLING SCORES Major League W L Pts.

Valdes Unimpressive In Heavyweight Win NEW YORK VP — Chairman Robert K. Christenberry of the _New? York boxing commission announced today that Cujian Nino Valdes' unimpressive though victorious performance against Janies J. Barker had ruled him out of a September— heavyweight —title fight. “Valdes did uot display the ability of a challenger,” said Christenberry who was at the ringside in •Madison Square Garden Friday night while Valdes won a unanimous 10-round decision over exCanadian Parker of Paterson, N. J., in their dreary skirmish of skyscrapers. “We will return to Valdes his (5,000 challenger's check next week,” the chairman continued. "We will not consider hinr .as an opponent for the winner of the June 17th title fight between Rocky .Marciano and ESzzard Charles." The towering Cuban had deposited the challenger’s check with the commission in December, after five straight victories that included a decision over ex-champion Charles and a knockout over Heinz Neuhaus of Germany,. European champion. Those five victories earned him the rating of No. 1 contender on Jan. T. In Friday night's nationally televised and broadcast 10-rounde, Valdes, 29, lacked fire and effectiveness although he weakened Parker, 25, with body blows and out-mauled him. The 4-173 fans witnessed a dull “gambol of goons” in which the two tallest opponents in TV history towered 6-feet 3-inehes each. Valdes weighed 211 1-2 Parker, 210. Democrat Wan*. Ads Bring Results

Pittsburgh And Baltimore Make Fine Showings By UNITED PRESS . The Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates, generally conceded only a mathematical chance of escaping last-place finishes, hoped today their spectacular showings in the Grapefruit would stimulate pre-season ticket sales. Exhibition games are meaningless in the standings, of course, but a successful or disappointing spring campaign often reacts violently* on the ticket sellers. And it’s for just that reason that Baltimore and Pittsburgh officials hoped the Orioles and Pirates would show creditably in the Grapefruit League. The Orioles, operating with the roster of the old St. Louis Browns, have responded by reeling off six victories in seven meetings with major league teams while the -Pirates, a dismal eighth in the National League season, have won four of five games. The Orioles chalked up their sixth victory Friday when they scored seven runs in the seventh and eighth innings to down the Chicago Cubs, 14-9. It was the third straight victory over the Cubs for the Orioles, who have tallied 65 runs in their seven games. They’ve beaten the New York Giants twice and split a twogame series with the Cleveland Indians. The Pirates, meanwnue, overwhelmed the Milwaukee Braves, 25-11, with a 19-hit bombardment that included six home runs, three triples and three doubles. Frank Thomas hit two round-trippers while Sid Gordon, Gerry Lynch, Jack Lohrke and Randy Davis hit one each. The lopsided triumph gave the Pirates an impressive total of 53 runs scored in five games—especially surprising because they were the weakest hitting team in the National League with a .247 average last year. They’ve beaten the Detroit Tigers three straight and lost only to the Cincinnati Redlegs. The New York Giants finally came out of their week-long coma, clouting Cleveland 20-game ace Mike Garcia for 10 runs and 12 hits in a 13-5 victory over the Indians. Willie Mays hit two homers and Whitey 'Lockman and Ronnie Samford one each as the Giants snapped a four-game losing streak. Marv Grissom and Johnny Antonelli held the Indians to one run but Larry Jansen, one of Leo Durocher’s key men, was manhandled for four in the ninth when all hands must have been eager to catch the bus back to the hotel headquarters. Around the camps: Shortstop and sparkplug Phtl Rizzuto played three innings in his spring debut &s the Yankees bowed to the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1.

being hit on the head by a line drive as the Washington Senators met the Philadelphia Athletics today at West Palm Beach, Fla. Order Slowdown On Income Tax Refunds Give Agents Time To Check Figures WASHINGTON UP — The Internal revenue service has ordered a slowdown on income tax refunds this year to give tax agents more time to check figures, informed sources said today. Last year’s refunding was completed in near record time, aimed at an informaldfcadline of April 15. This Wrvte« has set May 15 as theJUafte h* whl&h the bulk of the to be completed. Preliminary statistics indicate there may be no more refund claims this spring than there were last spring, eYen thtmfh the dip in employment late in 1953 probably entitled many taxpayers to ask for some’of their money back. This indication, however, may stem from the slowdown in handling returns. As of one week ago, internal revenue offices had received some 12,760,000 returns which showed overpayments, mostly through withholding taxes. At the same time last year, 13,270,000 such returns had come in: a difference of only; about 500,000. Refunds totaling -$691,740,000 had already been ordered for 8,870,000 taxpayers by last May 4, 11 days before the filing deadline. On March 5 last year, refunds totaling $755,550,000 had been ordered for 10,740,000 taxpayers. Traditionally, taxpayers who can claim a refund are the first to file their returns, so they will get their money back quickly. The revenue service cannot count the returns as fast as they come in, however, so current figures do not accurately indicate the number actually filed.
