Friars Meet
Billikens For
NIT Title
NEW YORK Two un
seeded teams, Providence's fast
breaking Friars, and St. Louis
University's possession - minded
Billikens, meet this afternoon for
the National Invitation Tourna
ment championship.
The windup of the 12-team
tournament at 4 p.m. (EST) is ex
pected to draw another big crowd
to Madison Square Garden al
though the tilt will be televised
(NBC-TV).
Dayton University and Holy
Cross, the beaten semifinalists,
will battle for third place in the
2:15 p.m. (EST) opener.
Despite the latest basketball
scandal and the nasty weather,
the tournament has drawn 72.-
134 fans to date for an average
of 14.426 per program. That av
erage has been surpassed only
twice in the last six tourna
ments.
The Thursday night semifinals,
in which Providence edged Holy
Cross in a 90-83 overtime thriller
and St. Louis tumbled Da‘ , ton,
67-60, lured a capacity crowd of
18,378 in spite of sleet and rain.
Providence figures to have a
psychological advantage. The Fri
ars beat the Billikens in the quar
ter-finals of the last two Nlrs,
winning 75-72 in double overtime
in 1959 and 64-53 last year. Provi
dence was defeated in the final
last year by Bradley. St. Louis,
in its 10th NIT, captured the title
in 1948.
Providence is noted for its
wide open style of play. The
Friars break fast with 5-8 Vince
Ernst and 6-foot Johnrr , Egan
leading the attack.
St. Louis stresses defense and
ball control. Coach John Bening
ton learned the value of defense
while playing under Pete Newell
at San Francisco. The Billikens
also have good height and good
shots, led by 6-4 Gordon Hart
weger.

Lion Outfield
More Batting
By JOHN MORRIS
(This is the second in a series on the Penn State baseball team.
Next, the pichers and catchers.)
Joe Bedenk can start one of the finest defensive outfields
in the East. All he wants now is somebody who can get on
base.
"We've got good speed and some guys who can throw
the ball," Bedenk said. "We've
just got to find somebody to hit
the ball before we go to Gettys
burg."
The Lions open the season
against the Bullets April 5, but
Bedenk hasn't had a real chance
to see what his outfielders can
do at the plate,
"This snow has hurt us, but
well play anybody who shows
they can hit," he said.
The Nittanies have captain Zeke
DeLong ticketed for right field
duty.
"We're counting on Zeke to
give us the long ball," Bedenk
said. The stocky veteran slumped
to .222 last season after hitting
.368 as a sophomore.
Lanky John Phillips is the lead
ing candidate for the left field
slot.
Phillips, a varsity basketball
player, saw part-time duty last
year. hitting .167.
"John has lots of speed and a
great throwing arm," the Lion
coach said, "but his hitting is a
question mark."
Dick Pae is another speed mer
chant, but it remains to be seen
how he will fare against good
pitching.
Al Gursky, who teamed with
Pae in Rip Engle's reddy back
field last fall, has shown flashes
of power in the few Letting
practices the Lions have held.
He is pressing Pae for the cen
ter field spot.
Sophomore Walt Bruschi, junior
Spence McGraw and senior Brad
Davis are other candidates for an
outfield berth.
