John Marshall
Breaks Nat'l
Swim Record
NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 13
—(JP)---John Marshall, Yale's sen
sational junior from Australia,
broke the national intercollegiate
1500-meters record tonight as he
successfully defended his Eastern
Intercollegiate Swimming Lea
gue title. His time was 19:03.7.
_
That's better than the 50-meter
(long course) mark of 20:02.2
which Keo Nakama, a Korean
then swimming for Ohio State,
recorded exactly eight years ago
in the same pool.
Marshall went in front of his
teammate, Wayne Moore, who
also broke Nakama's standard, at
about the 250-meter mark, and
won by 25 meters, or half the
distance of the tank. Moore was
clocked in 19:24.7.
The world's record is 18:19
owned by Hironoshin Furuhashi,
the Japanese ace.
Dexter Smith of Army was
third in 20:14.2, followed by Joe
Burnett of Yale, Phil Ware of
Niagara and Bill Yorzyk of
Springfield.

Navy Switch Gives
Golfers Home Meet
After a request from Navy that
a May 17 match be shifted from
Annapolis to State College, the
Lion golfers will now play on the
home course twice instead of once.
The Lions will be playing a
predominantly - away schedule,
with four matches on foreign
courses. This was necessitated by
the late date golf was retained,
after being cut from' the athletic
program in an. economy move.

Only the Babe
Approaches Par
In Augusta Play
AUGUSTA, Ga., March 13 VP)
The • venerable Augusta Country
Club golf course, a par 72 layout
without a soft touch hole, was too
'tough for the girls of the Title
holders Tournament today and
only Babe Zaharias got neighbor
ly with par.
The Babe, most honored name
in women's golf, shot a respect
able 74 in the first round and
when she was finished on the
6619 yard course she breathed
deeply and said, "I'm glad to get
it. A 74 out there in that wind
on that hunk of golf course suits
me fine." •
Heavy rains last night and great
' gusts .of wind' today made the
course play long and hard. Low
est score ever made in these Blue
Ribbon tournaments was 71—a
record held jointly by the Babe
and Marlene Bauer.,
Babe Zaharias in first place is
nothing new and no surprise but
the advent• of Marnie Polk of
Chattanooga, Tenn., as s e' - c on d
place finisher with a 76 was a
major shocker.
In three previous- titleholders,
the lowest Miss Polk ever scored
was ,88.

Edinboro Defeated
By Sinkers, 42-36
NEW YORK, March 13—(if))—
Young and swashbuckling La
Salle continued its Cinderella
role in the National Invitation
Basketball Tournament tonight by
knocking off top-seeded Du
quesne,• 59-46, to gain the champ
ionship rou n d. In Saturday's
finals, the Philadelphians will
meet the winner of tonight's
other-semi-final game between
Dayton and St. Bonaventure.
It was the third straight upset
victory for unseeded La Salle,
which beat towering Seton Hall
and fourth-rated St. John's in
earlier appearances.
For mighty Duquesne, whose
only previous loss in 23 games
this season was an overtime de
feat by Villanova, it was an eve
ning of abject misery before a
sellout crowd of some 18,000 at
Madison Square Garden.
The "Iron Dukes," fourth-rank
ed nationally, e were completely
outfought, out-thought and out
shot by the freshman-flaVored
band of Explorers from the Quak
er City.

By JIM PETERS
Edinboro's two-year reign 'as
champions of independent basket- 7
ball came. to an end last night
as the Sinkers outplayed Edin
boro in 'the second half for ai
thrilling 42-36 victory:
The Sinkers trailed at halftime,
23-20, but regained that small de
ficit quiickly in the third quarter (
to lead, 32-27, going into the final
period. Edinboro, which had ral
lied twice this week for close vie- I
tories, still couldn't get started
even in the opening minutes of
the fourth quarter. The •Sinkers
boosted their lead to 11 points )
before Glenn Brown made good
a one-hander. Don Gaddess fol
lowed with a long set shot] but
Jim. Garrity came back with two
points for the Sinkers.
On Even Terms
John McAvoy hit on a:set.from
the corner to clinch the Sinkers'
victory after Gaddess and 'Bill
Mihalich had scored two-pointers'
for Edinboro. (
The two teams battled on even
terms in the first period with
Edinboro leading after the quar
ter ended, 13-12. The dethroned
champions took the second'stanza,
10-8, to lead at the intermission,
23-20.

With cAvoy holding the hot
hand in the third period with
remarkable accuracy on long set
shots, the Sinkers grabbed the
lead at 26-25, and never ,again
were headed.
McAvoy Paces Winners
Edinboro, apparently tired after
competing in two tournaments
this week, could not keep pace
with the fast-moving Sinkers, and
often in the second half could
not get a man down the floor• in
time to halt a fast break. '
McAvoy led the Sinkers to the
championship by t allying 14
points. He was aided in the scor
ing by Garrity and' Bailey who
scored 10' and nine markers, re
spectively. Ken Bouldi n.'s 13
points were high for Edinboro
with Bill Mihalich not too far
behind with eight.
