Favorites Win In First Round Os NCAA Meets By NORMAN MILLER United Press Sports Writer The 1951 NCAA basketball tournament was sticking mighty close to its tradition of “no Cinderella champion” today as top-ranked North Carolina paced the advance into Friday’s second round. There wasn’t an upset to be found in six first-rounders played Tuesday night at three different sites, or in the other first-rounder played Monday night. Now the deck is cleared for these pairings In the ''four “regional” eliminations starting Friday night: At Philadelphia: North Carolina (28-0) vs. Canisius (21-5); Syracuse (17-6) vs. Lafayette (22-3). At Lexington, Ky.: Pittsburgh (16-9) vs. Kentucky (22-4); Notre Dame (19-7) vs. Michigan State (15-7). At Dallas, Tex.: Oklahoma City (18-8) vs. St. Louis (19-7); Kansas (21-2) vs. SMU (21-3). i At Corvallis, Ore.: California (20-4) vs. Brigham Young (18-81; Idaho State (25-2) vs. San Francisco (18-6), Tar Heels Start Slow North Carolina overcame what Coach Frank McGuire called its 4.4. “worst first half of the season” -to down Yale, 90-74: Canisius took advantage of West Virginia’s "jitters” for a 64-56 win; and Syracuse staged an amazing rally to beat Connecticut, 82-76, in firstrounders at New York's Madison Square Garden Tuesday night. i At Columbus, Ohio, pint-sized Don Hennon’s 31 points led Pittsburgh to an 86-85 win over Morehead and Notre Dame led all the

The Monday firstrounder saw Idaho State beat Hardin-Simmons, 68-57, at Pocatello, Idaho. North Carolina ran into an inspired team in Yale’s lavy League champions and were held even for 30 minutes. Then the taller Tar Heels pulled away from the worn-out Elis as All-American Lennie Rosenbluth took scoring honors with 27 points to 25 for Yale’s Johnny Lee. Mountaineers Out-rebounded Here's how the other firstrounders shaped up: At New York: Jittery West Virginia lost its game to Canisius in the first half when it sank only eight of 33 shots and was outrebounded, 35-14. Canisius led, 34-18, at halftime as West Virginia’s AllAmerican Hot Rod Hundley had scored *bnly four points. West Virginia closed to 52-50 later, and Hundley wound up with 17, but Canisius had enough left for a strong finish. Syracuse trailed Connecticut, 65-55, with eight minutes left, but put on an all-court press and ran away from the bad-ly-rattled U-Conns. Gary Clark had 26 points and Vinnie Cohen 23 to pace the Upstate New Yorkers. At Columbus: Notre Dame zipped to a 12-4 lead in the opening minutes against Miami of Ohio and led the rest of the way. Tom Hawkins of* the Irish and , Wayne Embryos the Redskins had 25 points each. Five-nine Hennon of Pitt, in addition to scoring honors, set up the game’s key basket by John Laneve with 55 seconds remaining. Whistles were tooting all the time and 97 free throws were attempted by the two teams. Steve Hamilton led Morehead with 22 points. At Oklahoma City: The home team, favored by 15, rushed to a quick 18-7 lead and romped home. Loyola settled for individual scoring honors as Pete Gaudin tallied 31. while six-10 Hubert Reed led Oklahoma City with 24. .

Pirates Only Unbeaten Team In Exhibitions By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Pittsburgh Pirates are picking up this spring right where they left off in 1956 as the No. 1 surprise team of the major leagues. With four straight victories, Manager Bobby Bragan’s hustlers are the only team still unbeaten in Grapefruit League competition and they’re playing no favorites. They’ve beaten the Philadelphia Phillies twice and the Washington Senators and Cincinnati Redlegs once each. • .. . The Pirates made it four in a raw Tuesday when they beat the Redlegs, 6-4, on a two-run seventh inning homer by rookie outfielder Dick Stuart. It 4 was the second homer of the spring for Stuart, a 6-foot-3, 200-pounder who walloped 66 homers and knocked in 158 runs at Lincoln, Neb., last year. Scatter Seven Hits Roman Mejias, another rookie outfielder who played for Hollywood in the Pacific Coast League last season, helped spark the Pirates with four hits in as many tries. Jackie Brown, Bob Garber and Nelson King combined to limit the Redlegs to seven hits including a homer by Ed Bailey. A pair of brilliant 1-0 pitchers’ duels highlighted the other games played on the fourth day of competition in the citrus circuit. The Boston Red Sox got six-hit pitching from a quartet of young hurlers and finally beat the New York Yankees when they pushed over a run in the 13th inning. Warren Spahn, Gene Conley and Red Murff collaborated in a twohit effort to give the Milwaukee Braves the other 1-0 decision in a nine-inning game with the Detroit Tigers. _ Cardinals In Romp Wa|ly Moon hit a two-run homer and Del Ennis a three-run homer as the St. Louis Cardinals continued their heavy spring slugging with a 12-4 romp over the Kansas City Athletics. The, Cardinals broke open the game in the seventh inning when five walks by Wally Burnette and two hits enabled them to score six runs. Jim Hearn, making his first start for the Philadelphia Phillies, yielded only a homer to Harmon Killebrew during a three-inning stint, to help Mayo Smith’s team beat the Washington Senators, 4-2. The Cleveland Indians scored seven runs in the first inning and went on to wallop the Chicago Cubs, 8-1, behind the six-hit pitching of Bob Lemon, Art Houtteman and Don Mossi. Lemon climaxed the first-inning assault on Don Kaiser with a three-run homer and allowed only one hit in his first three-inning outing of' the spring. 4 „ Gail Harris’ three-run ninth inn-,, ing homer, his second of the game lifted the New York Giants to a 9-8 decision over the Baltimore Orioles. Rookie Andre Rodgers hit two homers and Red Schoen-

diest also homered for the Giants, . who have won three of their four games. Name Columbia Star As Player Os Year NEW YORK, (UP)—Columbia’s Chet (The Jet) Forte,/a little man who plays basketball in a big Way, turned back the clock today by outspeeding the gangling giants of the college game to the 1957 United Press “Player of the Year” award. The 5-foot-9 pre-medical student, as sound fundamentally but an even better scorer than the solid little men who dominated the early years of basketball, gained the honor by a clear margin in .a nationwide poll of 281 sportswriters and broadcasters. Forte, received 63 votes in wide-ly-scattered balloting to win over , Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain, bril- , liant seven-foot University of Kan- . sas sophomore, who had 51 votes. I Six-five Grady Wallace of South Carolina, the national scoring leader, was third with 35 votes. The selection of Forte, Ivy League scoring champion, came at the end of a surprising campaign in which he fought right down to the wire with four physical giants for the national scoring championship. He finished with an average of 28.92 points per game and awaited the results of other scoring contenders in post-season tournaments to learn his final standing. It also followed his selection to the United Press AU-America team along with four players from seven to 15 inches taller than he. On the court, Forte's specialty is a jump shot off “the wrong foot/’ a maneuver that confuses rivals. He also features speed, ( playmaking, and a twoahanded long shot that keeps defenders from backing up |o guard against his drive. . , The top three were followed in j the balloting by Elgin Baylor of . Seattle with 32 votes, Lennie J Rosenbluth of North Carolina with , 27, Hot Rod Hundley of West Vir- ( ginia with 24, and Gary Thompson of Indiana with 15. ( J Hartford To Receive SBII.BO From Meet The four high schools which < cojnpeted in the regional tourney , at Fort Wayne last Saturday shar- ; ed in profits of $4,216.06 from the j meet, according to the financial report of Paul Spuller, Fort Wayne Central high school principal and tourney manager.

D Club Banquet Is Sei For March 29 The annual “D” club banquet of the Decatur high school will be held at the Youth and Community Center Friday evening, March 29, at 6:30 o'clock, according to an announcement today by Bob Worthman, Jackets’ head coach. . Guest speaker at this annual event will be Wally Weber, freshmen football coach at the University of Michigan. Weber is widely known as an after dinner speaker, radio and television analyst, and in his job of building Michigan tradition he has circled the globe many times in actual mileage. He was fullback and fine defensive player on the last two Big Ten championship teams under Fielding H. Yost in 1925-26, and was a teammate of Bennie Oosterbaan, for the past nine years head football* coach at Michigan. Weber graduated in 1927 and received his M. A. degree in 1929. As coach at Benton Harbor, Mich., high school, he won the state title and also won 24 out of 27 games in three seasons. He returned to Michigan in 1931 as backfield coach and later took over the frosh coaching duties. He has held that post continuously except for a brief World War II interim when the freshmen rule was relaxed. As a scout he covered Illinois for 14 seasons and during that time Michigan won 11 games. .. .. Tickets for the annual banquet, priced at $1.50, may be obtained at the high school or from, any “D” club member. The public is invited to attend. Monmouth Athletes Honored At Meeting The annual Monmouth sports achievement night was held at the Monmouth school gym, Tuesday evening. The gym was appropriately decorated with bold eagles, and floral arrangement of pussywillows and forsythia were used on the stage, and again on the tables. Rev. L. T. Norris led in the opening devotional period. PTA president, Robert Kolter, conducted a brief business session, after which the program was turned over to John Rosier. Omer Merriman and Loren Jones each paid their respects to all Monmouth athletes, followed by the presentation of basketball trophies to Don Mentor, Jim McDougal and Marlin Blakey, by coach "Porky Holt. Members of all the school’s athletic teams were introduced, and recognition was given to cheer leadears and student managers. Bill McKain, Noblesville athletic director, gave an interesting talk concerning athletic achievement, after which the meeting was closed by the president, as he thanked the school faculty for their participation in planning the program. Ball State Winner In NAIA Tourney KANSAS CITY, Mo. (IP) — Ball State College of Muncie, Ind., today prepared for the second round of the NAIA basketball tourney following its convincing 98-70 walloping of Troy, Ala. State in Tuesday’s first round. The Cardinals raced to a 56-28 halftime lead and never were headed. The only excitment came in the closing seconds of play as the Hoosier team made a futile attempt to reach 100 points. Penn State Mentor To Coach Eastern Team v SAN FRANCISCO (IP) — Charles (Rip) Engle of Penn State University today was named head coach for the East squad for the 33rd annual Shrine East-West football classic, it was announced by Managing Director William M. Coffman. Coffman said Engle, a member of the last two East coaching staffs, would be assisted by Blanton Collier of Kentucky and Milt Bruhn of Wisconsin. The West staff of Jack Curtice, Utah; Tonny Prothro, Oregon State, and Sam Boyd, Baylor, was named several weeks ago. The 33rd Shrine game will be played here-De. 28th.

South Hopes To Stop Central's Favored Bears INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Fort Wayne South hopes to accomplish Saturday what South Bend Adams, Mishawaka and Elkhart couldn’t do—stop high-flying South Bend Central in its bid for the Indiana high school basketball championship with a perfect record. The South Siders aren't doing too badly themselves. They have won 14 straight since seven-foot Mike McCoy became eligible in the middle of January. The South Benders ranked first in the state throughout the season, and the Fort Wayne city champs tied for 10th in the final United Press coaches poll. Their first afternoon game battle in Fort Wayne’s Coliseum will headline "semi-state" preliminary firing. Hold Foes to 35 Points While the South Benders can brag about their 26-game unbeaten string, the Archers can show off with their sparkling defensive records. They topped the "Sweet Sixteen” by holding six tourney foes to just a fraction above 35 points per game. McCoy gets plenty of help from Dan Howe, Tom Bolyard and Chris and Carl Stavreti. South’s overall record is 20-6.

Last year, he piloted New Ross to a 26-game winning streak before Lafayette, squeezed out a sixpoint victory ip the semi-finals. In his first year at Noblesville, he master-minded the Millers to their first sectional triumph since 1929—and to their very first regional crown. Still, Noblesville is considered

South Side hasn't been in the state finals since 1940, Marion not since 1950. Both are also ex-state champs. Two New Teams In Anderson Tourney ANDERSON, Ind.
