MARCH 3. 1954 Lagers to Meet Two More Foes Before NCAAs Ey DICK McDOWELL The first of two final tests comes up tomorrow before Elmer Gross' Lion basketball team enters into NCAA tourn ament play against Toledo University at Fort Wayne, Ind. The floormen will face Georgetown tomorrow at Rec Hall and then battle Temple Saturday before taking on the Rockets. But regardless of the outcome of these two regularly scheduled contests, Gross and his cagers (12- 5 at the moment) are tournament bound. He and his ten-man trav eling squad will meet the Rockets in the second game of a double header at the Fort Wayne Coli seum. Toledo is the Mid-America con ference champion—not the best conference in the nation, but a good one. The Rockets finished their regular season last week with a not-too-impressive 13-9 record. In conference play they were 10-2. Significant here is the fact that they topped Bowling Green, an NIT choice, in league standings. However, Toledo's most impres sive game of the season was prob ably one they lost. Third-ranked Duquesne dropped the Rockets by only two points earlier in the sea son and had to come from be hind to do it. Toledo led most of the way and still held a three point edge with a minute and. a half remaining. The Dukes' Si Green killed them, however, in the closing seconds. The Lions' biggest job at Fort Wayne will be stopping forward Phil Martin, a 6-1 senior who col lected 420 points this season for a 19-point average per game. Mar tin has been a Mid-American - and Central Ohio All-Star selection for the past two seasons. Behind Martin, Coach Jerry Bush has a 6-6 center, Bruce Sprice, who tossed in 357 points over the regular season, averag ing 16. f, points. John Paxdzior, 6-2, with 267 points, Jim Maher, 6-1, 216 points, and Jim Ray, 5-10, 189 points, round out the first five. The Rockets' only obvious weak point appears to be On their bench. Only one reserve, 5-8 Jack Miller has been used to any ex tent by Bush this season. The pint-sized guard is regarded as a top-flight ball handler and flo orm an. The Lions are part of a 24-team field, incomplete as yet, which will be competing in the tourney. The winner is recognized as the offic'_al national collegiate cham pion. - r The winner of the Penn State- Toledo contest moves into the Eastern regional playoffs- at the University of lowa fieldhouse. The opponent there will either be Kentucky, ranked first in the nation this week, or Louisiana State. The, two teams are both in the running for the Southeastern Conference championship. The winner gets an automatic bid to the Eastern playoffs. Northern Version Baseball's already underway at Penn State, where pitchers and catchers are working , out daily under the football stands.
