PAGE SIX ladov's 7 Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY 1 United Press Sports Write: 'g. NEW YORK (IP) The testimony of four top college basketball coaches made clear today that the National In vocation Tournament, which seemed to be facing certain death at the height of the cage scandal, has not only been saved but may be stronger than ever. 2 And the thing that seems to have saved Madison Sttiare Garden’s favorite court carnival was the complex, sffawling nature of its chief rival the post-season NC- Ai| Tournament. **• When the “fixing” scandal burst about the Garden’s .ears three years ago and a clamor arose for a “back to thp campus” movement in basketball, teams seemed to be shying away from the NIT. j i And things looked mighty black for the annual tour ney when the National Collegiate Athletic Association ex cluded its post-season carnival to include more independ teams, who always had been the chief NIT attractions.' This year the NCAA has expanded more than ever, deluding 24 teams l5 conference champions and nine at large,” that is, independents. "*c But, from what the coaches are saying, it seems that tftis very expansion of the NCAA has strengthened the SP* 8““ Coach John Taps Gallagher of Niagara, which accept an NIT bid on Thursday for the second straight year, explained, “the NIT is a bit better for us as an independ ent team. In the NCAA, independent schools have to play off among each other before getting into the tournament proper.” J What Gallagher meant was shown when the NCAA picked Bradley and Oklahoma City the same night Niag ara was tapped for the NIT. Bradley and Oklahoma City will have to play each other in Peoria, HI., before the win ij?r can enter the NCAA’s Western Regionals at Stillwa ter, Okla. I That brings up complaint No. 2 about the NCAA i£s sprawled out too much. Semi-finalists or finalists may wind up play in as many as three different cities. That means travel money; it also means time lost from class. !' Coach Peck Hickman of Louisville ticked off the rea sons his school accepted an NIT bid: “It’s a little better financial deal for us. We’re not gone so long from school won’t miss as many classes, and won’t have to travel as flSUch. Also in the NCAA the independent schools have to go through a play-off before you even get in.” Coach Tom Blackburn of Dayton said his school pick ed the NIT because “it’s better managed, better for an in dependent team, and we lose less school time.” He, too, stressed that “an independent college has to play a series of eliminations before it actually gets in the NCAA tour ney.” And he concluded, “we didn’t enjoy our NCAA expe rience two years ago in Chicago.” % Witness No. 4is Coach Donald Dudey Moore of Du quesne, the nation’s top-rankea team which turned down an NCAA offer for the second straight year to accept an NIT bid. y- “The council members who made the decision felt the m was much simplier as far as arrangements were con cerned because it’s held in one spot,” said Dudey. A Du quesne spokesman mentioned, less travel, less time lost and said “convenience” was the chief factor in the deci sion. [’ So it looks like both big tourneys are here to stay for a rWhile, the NCAA boasting all the conference champs affti the NIT getting most of the top independents.

Lillington LaFayette In a quarter-finals game in the Harnett County Conference Tour nament Friday night the LaFayette bays pushed the unbeaten LiUlng toa High School boys to the limit before bowing to them in the last period when they were buried in a landslide of baskets which ran the score up to 48-33 In favor of Lillington. At one time just before the. third quarter ended the score was tied 25-25 but from here on the superior height of the boys from the county seat was just too much for the scrappy boys on last year’s champ ionship team and the IdlUng ton bays sizzled the nets for 23 more points while LaFhyette could get no more than seven to turn what had been a cloee game into almost a rout. McDonald with 14 and Bain with 10 led the Lillington scoring while Sears led the losers With 15. The green-clad UlUngtop boys jumped to an 11-4 lead In the first quarter but the game LaFfcyette boys didn’t give up. They came back la the second period to shave one point off that lead as halftime ar rived 18-13 and then they came back after the Intermission to tie up the ball game In the third stan za 25-85 before letting Lillington draw back ahead 39-26.

Daley Goff was second In scoring for the Dunn boys with 18 points Erwin was In the second division. Then in the final afternoon con test the Benhaven boys, after be ing almost out of the contest, sta ged a last minute rush which car ried the min to the lead to win in a thrilling finish over the Buie’s Creek boys by one point, 53-52. And .in the first night contest which finished the girls quarter finals the Lillington High School girls upset a highly favored Coats sextet 47-37 to gain a semi-final berth opposite Erwin. This was only Coats' fourth loss of the season. The LUBngton girls, like Erwin, finished the -season in the second division off the Harnett County Conference standings." while Sewell led the Redskins with 10. Although Robert Pope didn’t score any for the Greenwaves he turned in a fine Job of clearing the backboards. He was easily top re bound man for both teams for the evening. The game started with a flurry with the Greenwaves taking a 15-13 first quarter lead after being hard pressed by the Skins who were a determined bunch of ball players. In that first quarter the Dunn boys had taken an 8-0 lead before Er win ever scored, but once the Er win boys got started, they didn’t want to quit and the Waves were lucky to get out of that period with their scalps. However In the second stanza they went Into a five-man :: figure eight” freezing the ball and threw their oppon ents off their stride enough to pick up eight points while limiting Er win to a free throw by Sam Lloyd.
