Zone Defense Leads Dayton To Upset Win By JOHN GRIFFIN United Preu Sports Writer The zone defense, outlawed by , the pros and bitterly criticized by some college coaches, turned up today as a bey factor iif basketball’s latest major upset 1 *- Dayton’s 65-58' victory over 11thranked CanisiuM. North Carolina, the nation’s No. 2 team, and fourth-ranked Southern Methodist each survived a nigged test to gain its 12th victory of the season Tuesday night. But Canisius, tagged with only its second loss in 12 starts, ran up against the first zone defense used by a Dayton team in the 10year coaching reign of Tommy Blackburn. After a see-saw first half that finally left host Dayton on top by 28-27, the strategy helped Dayton control the ball for most of the final 19 minutes to gain the upper hand. Unbeaten North Carolina had to rally in the second half to beat William and Mary, 71-61, on the Ipsers’ court as Carolina star Lennie Rosenbluth was held to just one basket and a total of 10 points. William and Mary led, 28-26, at halftime but Carolina went ahead after 15 seconds of die second half and Jed the rest of the way, 18 to make up for ifesenblufh for the Tar Heels. SMU Tops Texts A&M Once-beaten SMU ran into a zone defense manufactured by Texas A & M but fought to a 62-53 victory — compared to a 68-46 romp over the Aggies in the recent Southwest Conference tournament. The Aggies benched their usual tall team and started five short swifties in hopes of making the zopp defense work, but they couldn’t stop 6-8 center Jim Krebs of the Mustangs from scoring 30 points. George Mehaffey led the Aggies path 23. California, ranked 19th nationally, beat Stanford for the first time since 1954, 59-45, although Stanford’s Dick, Haga salvaged scoring honors with 18 points. In other leading games Tuesday night: Princeton tripped Columbia, 100-96,; in overtime in the Ivy League although Columbia's little Chet (The Jet) Forte scored 34 to set a Princeton court record; Texas downed Texas Christian, 85-76, in the Southwest Conference; freshman Carl Sloan’s 18 points led Richmond to a 56-50 win over Virginia; Lee Marshall’s 35 points, including four free throws in the final minutes, gave Washington & Lee a 72-69 win over Citadel in die Southern Conference. West Virginia Beata Pitt Warren Buehler’s 28 points paced Georgetown (D.Q.) in an 85-61 rout of George Washington; Niagara trounced Morehead, 97-74; Holy Cross edged Rhode Island, 72-66; West Virginia pipped Pittsburgh, 89-86; St. Francis (N."Y.) routed Brooklyn College, 89-67; and Harvard beat MIT, 76-60; and Santa Clara took first place in the California Basketball Association by upsetting San Francisco, last year’s national champion, 5147. , , But the game of the night was at 'Altoona, Pa. — Potomac St. (W.Va.) vs. Penn State’s Altoona branch.
