SATURDAY. l7. 1956 NIT Ope NEW YORK, March 16 (<¥*) —The oldest of the post-season basketball tournaments—the National Invitation—opens its 19th stand in Madison Square Garden tomorrow with a familiar cast and a few signs of reversion to the style of its early days. The NIT, conceived by a group of New York basketball writers, originated in 1938, when thej ' abolition of the center jump afterj || JJ | g each goal was a recent memory, f""! Q M 11 and when only a "racehorse” ■ team could score 60 points in a game. It was a tremendous suc cess from the start, when 14,497 spectators saw' Temple beat Colo rado 60-36 in the final One of the first teams to play, Oklahoma A&M, returns this year, bringing with it a defen sive record that is reminiscent of the early tournament days. It will be the Aggies’ fourth NIT but their first appearance in the Garden since the pre scandal year of 1946. They won the National Collegiate title here that year. During the past season, when the Aggies won 18 games 'and lost eight, they were the nation’s sec ond-best defensive team, limiting their opponents to 52.2 points a game. And there hare been strong indications this year—particu larly in the early rounds of the National Collegiate champion ship—that strong defense and ball possession are beginning to pay off again. Four games among unseeded teams open the NIT program to morrow. The winners meet the four seeded teams Monday and Tuesday, with the semi-finals Thursday and the finals the fol lowing Saturday. For the first time, the finals will be played in the afternoon so they can be tele vised nationally. Tennis Candidates Candidates for varsity and freshman tennis should report to 241 Recreation Hall at 5 p.m. Monday. rH f-Yj 4*o*l “THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS” Starring Clifton Webb Starts Sunday “THE KILLER IS LOOSE” Starring Joseph Cotlen Wendell Corey *CATHAUM • NOW SHOWING • Never Say Goodbye Rock Had*on - Cornell Bercner* • BEGINS SUNDAY • 3 Academy Award Nominations Will It Win The Oscars?
