lowa To Battle Dons For NCAA Title Tonight, EVANSTON, 111. (INS) — The proud Hawkeyes of the University of lowa will attempt tonight to do what no team has been able to accomplish since December, 1954 — beat the fabulous San Franelsco Dons — basketball’s number one college-attraction of the past two years. < At stake will be the 18th annual natonal collegiate basketball crown, now worn by the Dons, and San Francisco’s 54-game winning streak. The magnificent Dons easily gained the finals of the college tourney at Northwestern university’s McGaw memorial hall Thursday night by routing Southern Methodist, 86 to 68. lowa's Big Ten champions encountered stiffer opposition from Temple but had enough steam left to outlast the Owls. 83 to 76. Temple meets SMU in the consolation game. San Francisco's genial coach Phil Woolpert was generous in praising SMU. calling the Mustangs “a very good shooting team I with a lot of scoring balance.” He was much kinder, however, than his squad which completely outclassed the Dallas, Tex., quintet. — The only thing uncertain about the contest was how big a score the Dons wanted to run up. The loss through ineligibility for tournament play of guard K.C. Jones only proved how great the Dons really are. Jones’ replacement Gene Brown, scored 12 points while Brown’s substitute, Warren Baxter, dropped in eight points. Big Bill Russell. San Francisco's All-American 6-foot. 10-lnch center, played his usual brilliant game under the boards and scored 17 points. Jim Krebs, EMU's 6-foot, 8-inch junior center, led the Mustangs with 24 points. San Francisco’s sophomore forward Mike Farmer, who was being tabbed to replace (Russell at the pivot post next season, led all scorers with 26 points besides picking off 18 rebounds. The lowa-Temple game was the most exciting game of the two as the Owls' guards Hal (King) Lear "and Guy Rodgers connected for 32 and 28 points respectively to account for 60 of the teams' 76 points, u lowa’s front line of Carl Cain, Bill Schoof and Bill Logan accounted for 74 of the Hawkeyes’ 83 points with Logan dropping in 36 points to take game scoring honors. lowa basketball coach Bucky O’Connor blamed “too much caution” m the reason why his team lost a 70 to 58 lead with 7 min- . utes and 28 seconds remaining. With Lear paving the way, the Philadelphians closed the gap to 74 to 72 with two minutes and 39 seconds remaining. After Logan dropped in a free throw. Temple's substitute center Tink Van Patton had a chance to score two free - throws. —-- --- ———-—-——

Van Patton missed the first shot and after lowa cleared the boards, Temple intercepted a pass. Lear, however, driving in for a layup, was called for charging. lowa's playmaking guard Sharm Scheuerinan sank both charity shots with a minute and 41 seconds remaining to shut tight the door of defeat against Temple. O’Connor called this play “the deciding factor of the game.” Another big factor, however, was Tempi’s failure to hit from the 15-foot line. lowa outshot Temple, 25 to 10, from the three throw line. Larry Doby Leads White Sox To Win By International News Service If there’s any one leason why the Chicago White Sox are going places, it’s Larry Doby.

Louisville And Dayton Flyers In NIT Finals NEW YORK (INS)— Daytons top-seeded Flyers, wanted in Brooklyn for murder, will meet their match Saturday in Madison Square Garden when they battle Louisville for the national invitation basketball tournament crown. The Flyers have lost only three games in 28 starts but two of them have come against the Cardinals from Kentucky. Although secondseeded by the dopesters, Louisville (also 25-8), may be the betting fa vorite for the nationally-televised afternoon contest. Dayton won a finalist's berth against its old nemesis Thursday n|ght by slaughtering the last un seeded entry, little St. Francis of Brooklyn, 89 to 58, before a jampacked house of 16,125 fans. Louisville eliminated St. Joseph's of Philadelphia. 89 to 79, in the opener. The Flyers, who had trouble squeezing past Xavier of Cincin nati in the quarter-finals, adminis tered the worst NIT beating since De Paul thrashed Rhode Island, 97 to 53, in the 1945 semi-finals. The Flyers not only controlled both backboards but kept pace with the fast break of the Cinderella hopefuls, who played most of the game without their high scorer. Dan Mannix. The Tefrier captain re-injured a sprained ankle midway through the first half and sat out the rest of the game. Six-foot-six Jim Palmer and Jim Paxson and seven - foot Bill Uh’ completely dominated the back boards after the first ten minutes of play. Palmer, who failed to score a single point in Dayton's quarter final win. dumped in 18 points to share scoring honors with Paxson. Uhl contributed 13. Tony D’Elia was high for the losers with 17 points. After four ties and six lead changes early in the game, Day ton's marked superiority off the backboards began to take its toll. From the time the Flyers moved ahead to stay at 22-20 — they led 38-22 at the halt — until they sent in the second stringers with a 32point cushion at the eight-minute mark, they outscored the Terriers, 44 to 11. St. Joseph’s fourth-seeded Hawks trailed Louis Vine throUghdW — down by as few as nine points and as many as 22. It was a case of Louisville height and marksmanship over erratic ball handling for the usually sharp Philadelphians. Charlie Tyra. Louisville's 6-foot--8 center, equalled this year NIT high of 29 point? scored earlier by Marquette s Terry Rand. Jim Morgan and Herb Harrah tallied 13 apiefce for the Cardinals and Bill Darragh had 12. Kurt Engleburt scored 21 points. 18 Tn the second half, for St. Joe’s while Al Juliana netted 18. The Hawks, down 45-27 at the half, closed the gap to within nine points in the stretch but the attack bogged down when Juliana fouled out of the game with five minutes remaining.
