KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 23 (U. P.). — Southern California was a “paper favorite” today to defeat Kansas tonight and become the Western enfrant in the National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament here March 30. «California last night defeated Cclorado, 38 to 32, in the semi-

finals of the meet to determine the champion. Kansas had to fight hard to defeat Rice Institute, 50-44. Nevertheless, friends. of the Californians warned them to be alert for Kansas’ famous tricks.

To get back to Duquesne,. the Iron Dukes had no easy time with their foes from the Bluegrass State. Rudy Pebnar cashed in a long to give the Pittsburghers a lead. at 8-6 in the first half.- Frée throws by Edward Miklovicy and Debnar hoisted the margin to 10-6, and a field goal by Bill Lacey, who went under in a hurry, gave the Pittsburghers a 12-6 lead.
