Groza Leads
Kentucky In
Kentucky University annexed their
second straight NCAA basketball
championship on March 29 as they
defeated Oklahoma A & M, 46-36.
With a throng of 12,500 thrilled
onlookers witnessing the fray from
the bleachers of the University of
Washington's Edmundson Pavilion,
Kentucky's 6'7" center, Alex Groza,
unleashed a one-man attack that re
sulted in a triumph for the boys from
the mountain state. Besides doing
some superb ball -handling Groza hit
the nets for 25 important counters.
He left the game in the third quarter
via the personal foul route. As a re
sult of his commendable perfor
mance, Alex was voted by attending
sportswriters the most valuable in
dividual player in the playoffs.
The Aggies, who were in the de
fensive all night, seemed to handcuff
every one of Adolph Rupp's eagers
except unstopable Groza.
An underdog Illinois five came
from behind in the final quarter to
top an Oregon State College quintet
57-53 and gain third place in the
tournament.
HAZLETON COLLEGIAN ,
SPORTSTUFF
By DICK BAGBY
On Saturday, May 14, there will
be a golf and tennis tournament held
at State College. -All undergraduate
centers are invited to compete in
these events. If there are any golf
,or
tennis enthusiasts who would like to
participate in this tournament as
representatives of the Hazleton Cen
ter, they are asked to contact Syd
Rudman as soon as possible.
Myron Demcio by defeating
George Makuta 3-2 in the finals is
the new table tennis champion. His
name will be added to those engraved
on the permanent intramural trophy.
Makuta advanced to the finals by
turning in a great perfermance
against Pucillo. Some hot competi
tion made the tournament a great
success and the championship match
was the match of all matches.
Softball enthusiasts still have until-
April 20 to formulate teams for the
intramural league. Two or three
teams are still needed to complete the
league. Rosters have already been
submitted to Syd Rudman by three
teams: the Engineers, Heights, and.
the Warriors.
Many times the outcome of an im
portant game depended on the con
version of a free throw. How easy it
looks if one is sitting in the stands;
but to the pressed individual who is
about to shoot from the foul line, it
is an uncomfortable situation. A ner
vous glance at the scoreboard, then
the shot is away and good; the home
team wins by one point.
That is the only one occasion when
a foul toss paid off. Now the oppor
tunity arises to determine just how
good one can be at foul shooting in
Syd Rudman's latest tournament '—
the foul shooting contest.
All interested deadeyes are asked
to sign the notice on the bulletin
board as soon as possible. Monday,
April 21, is slated for the starting
date. The individual who drops in the
best out .of 25 shots, will be pro
claimed the hot shot of the center.
Every year forecasters throughout
the nation step out on a limb to de
cide how the sixteen major league
teams will wind up. The sports staff
of the Collegion after 'a three-hour
conference finally agreed on the fol
lowing:
American National
Indians Braves
Red Sox Cards
Yankees Dodgers
Athletics Pirates
Tigers Phillies
Browns Giants
White Sox Reds
Senators Cubs
Last week the two teams from the
Center, who were entered in the lo
cal YMCA tourney, played a grudge
game on the Y floor. The result was
that the Warriors came from far be
hind not only to win the grudge con
test but to knock the Collegians right
out of the Y tourney. P.S. The War
riors were also eliminated.
"Pistol Pete" Garber, the pride of
the Center, has been selected by Iry
Kochel, basketball coach of Schuyl
kill Undergraduate Center, as the
first team center on the SUC all-op
ponent quintet.

Softball Team
Plays Engineers
The supply of . rubbing alcohol at
the corner drug store is rapidly dim
inishing. You ask why? Because the
girls are really putting their shoul
ders to the wheel, having recently
formed a softball team.
Captained by Peg Kohler, the team
has been holding practices regularly
and yesterday played a group of En
gineers at the 22nd Street field. The
has decided to call themselves
"Wood's Hoods."
Future opponents will probably be
Misericordia and Marywood Col
leges. The enthusiasm shown by the
girls in this new sport is a comeback
to the old saying, "The girls never do
anything."
The man who wakes up and finds
himself successful hasn't been
asleep.
