Ean No Field Goals for Beard Little Wat was a defensive zealot who not only accomplished the feat of holding Kentucky's top star, Ralph Beard, scoreless from the floor, but he doubled to block lanky Ken Rolling’ path to the basket and held him to two inconsequential field goals. Utah, an 11%-point underdog in the betting, kept intact its tournament record of never going into the game as a favorite. And the Redskins made this one the greatest upset of them all by winning almost without pressure. They worked it this way: . Lanky, Vern Gardner, acclaimed the most valuable player in the tournament for his performance in the three victorious Utah performances, controlled the rebounds off both back boards and made the vital goals with tip-ins and short set shots. Gardner had five baskets and five free shots for 15 points. ’ Durable Arnold Ferrin, veteran of the 1944 national championship squad, was play-maker, the ball stealer and the cool customer who
