Semi-finals
Two Pennsylvania basket
ball teams who have never
played each other, travel half
way across the nation today
where they will battle for a
berth in the finals of the Na
tional Colle?iatc basketball
chamnionshii-s.
The two teams are LaSalle, and
of course, Penn State, survivors
of the eastern section of •the
NCAA tournament. Located just
250 miles apart, the two schools
are finally getting together on a
basketball court, but they have to
travel to Kansas City to do it.
The Explorers. heavy favorites
to capture a berth in the final
game Saturday. clash with the
Lions at Municipal Auditorium to
morrow night at 9 p.m. (EST) in
the first of a semi-final double
header. Southern California and
Bradley meet in the second game.
Lions Arrive Today
The Lions arrived in Pittsburgh
last night in the first leg of the
1000-mile trip. They'll board a
plane there today and fly directly
to Kansas City.
Coach Elmer Gross, who guided
the undaunted Nittanies to three
spectacular upset victories in the
regional playoffs last week, will
probably be relying once again
KANSAS CITY, March 17 (Jr)
—Fired up Bradley fans took
the NCAA basketball tourna
ment committee off the hook
today and guaranteed a com
plete sellout for the four-team
finals starting here on Friday
night.
Back iri Peoria, 111., the Brad
ley supporters gobbled up their
allotted 250 tickets in 7 minutes
and stood in line for an hour to
sign up for any additional ones
that might become available.
Tournament officials had held
back 1000 tickets for the com
peting teams and were a little
worried when they came up
with a final field of Bradley,
LaSalle, Penn State and South
ern California—all a long way
from Kansas City.
The final game Saturday will
be televised nationally on NBC
starting at 11 p.m. (EST).
on his patented zone defense.
The sliding zone
.setup, coupled
with a pressing man-for-man in
the front court, puzzled Notre
Dame and Louisiana State com
pletely, and threw a solid check
on their highly-regarded fast
break offenses.
Successful Against Zone
The only catch is that this time
the Lions will be facing a team
which has been successful against
zone defenses. At least that's what
LaSalle cco ch Ken Loeffler
claimed when he evaluated his
team's chances against the Lions
tomorrow. Loeffler said that his
ball club hasn't lost to a zone team
this year.
Probably Loeffler's biggest as
set to beat the zone defense, how
ever, is 6-6 All-American Tom Go
la. Gola is known as the "all
around" ball player, that is. the
type who can do just. about every
thing, including scoring from out
side—the best way known to up
set the zone.
Have 24-4 Record
The Explorer boss, whose sixth
ranked team (nationally) carries a
2-1-4 record. spoke confidently of
the game with the Lions. While he
wouldn't openly predict a victory,
the 54-year-old strategist implied
that the Explorers would be one
of the iwo teams remaining Satur
day nif:rt.
on the other hand. Gross stated
that he felt his Lions had gone as
far as thet- , could in the tourna
ment. Gross said that he was very
happy with the outcome of the
first three games, but added that
the team was very tired. "I doubt
if any other team in the field had
to give as much to win as we did.
These kids have done the impos
sible in the last week and I think
it's too much for them to go on."
At any rate, tomorrow night's
battle sh - e)es ,gyp to be one of the
keenest thu-, Car in the action

"FLASH
TWO-H
BROTH
Acertain Sophomore named Brown acquired the
`appellation "Flash," not because he was lightning on the
gridiron, but just because he was never without an answer.
You'd pass him on the quadrangle and say "How's it goin',
Flash?" He'd answer, "Air Express." Get the pitch?
Brown often referred to his "two-headed brother" in
conversations. One day a few men in his fraternity were
needling him.
"Your brother's two heads must present quite a few problems."
"Not really. The only problem was his neatness," said Flash
"Neatness?" "Yes," answered Flash, "he worried about it.
Said he couldn't find a shirt that didn't wrinkle around the
collar. You see, he was often looking in two directions
at once, or eating and talking on the telephone.
Hard on a collar."
"What did you do?" They knew he did something about it
"Simple. I got him the Van Heusen Century shirt with the
exclusive soft collar that won't wrinkle ever! I got him
different collar styles and colors. 53.95 for the white,
$4.95 for the colors and superfine whites. You should.have
seen the grins on his faces when he saw how those collars
stayed neat all day and night without starch or stays."
"I guess he can really hold his heads up now," said one
"Yep. He figures he gets four times more wear from Century
than from other shirts. Of course, he actually only gets twice
the wear. He just figures in both heads."
One of the men visited Brown 'at Christmas, and found
it was all true.
