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.

WANTED: ONE FREAM
Fran had wanted a Fream all her life. But how
to get one? (There aren’t many freams on campus)
She consulted Dan. Dan said: ADVERTISE! She did.
Now Fran has her FREAM. Do you want a FREAM?

with the new soft button-down
collar that won’t wrinkle ever!
If you thought the classic oxford button-down could never
be improved, this may shake you. Van Heusen (and only
Van Heusen) now makes one that you can wear to classes,
to afternoon sports events (if you’re so inclined) and
to tonight’s dance. It will still look fresh, even if you don’t.
It’s a fine, soft, specially woven oxford cloth that will outlast
two of those regular jobs. And—don’t let anybody else see
this—if you happen to wear it a second day, nobody wiU
be the wiser. $5.00
