tribution from every resident of Kodiak. The local drive this
year will be held between March 24 to 31, inclusive.

neighbors in times of emergency.
The slogan this year is “Answer The Call.” Each and

column in this space by Lefty

The curtain rings down this
week on most hardwood
courts throughout the country
except a few big tournaments
where “play as you glow” is
the motto. Basketball players
in every tournament are giv
ing the old college try in putt
ng their Alma Mater into the
dmelight.
In famous Madison Square
Barden, LaSalle College of
Philadelphia won the 15th
Annual National Invitation
iTournament and an Olympic
tryout berth by defeating the
best in the East with a smash
ing 75-64 victory over Dayton
University in the finals.
In basketball crazy Kansas
City, Southwest Missouri State
of Springfield won the Na
tional Intercollegiate Title and
an Olympic berth by upsetting
Murray (Ky) State, 73-64.
With an eye on the Olym
pics again, the Midwest will
spotlight the NCAA tourna |
ment also at Kansas City. 16 j
top teams will compete, 10 of
them champs of their respec
tive conferences. This fabu
lous list includes West Vir
ginia, Kansas City, Duke,
Wyoming and last year’s
great Olympic and NCAA
champions, the Kentucky
Wildcats.
As these teams battle in the
Midwest, action will resume
in New Yorx’s Garden when
Big Ten Champ’s Illinois and
Ivy League titlist’s Princeton
clash.
Then there are the ‘ ama
teurs”, such as Phillip’s 66
Oilers who will plunge for
their 8th title in 10 years in
the National Amateur Ath
letic Union Basketball Tourna
ment in Denver. Rumor has it
Mr. Basketball himself, 7
foot 1 inch Bob Kurland had
to take a pay cut from Okla
homa U. to play for the
Oiler’s.
