NEW YORK (TP; St. Bonavenlure plays top-seeded
Bradley and Providence plays second-seeded Utah State in
the semi-finals of the National Invitation Basketball Tourna
ment tonight and if the upstarts happen to win you better
duck for cover.
Some 5000 Providence fans have invaded the big town
to root for their slick-playing
Friars while St. Bonaventuie’s
gathering from upstate Glean,
N.Y, is smaller in numbers but
takes second place to no one in
vocal ability.

"And thai's just for first
round and quarter-final games,"
said one of the gentry yester
day.
. “What's it gonna be like if they
play for the championship?"
That the Friars and the Bonnies
may do just that is definitely a
possibility although the seeding
committee took a pre-tournament
look at the oveiall lecords and
decided it would be Biadley
against Utah State.
