LANE STATE AND LUBBOCK STATE TO MEET IN AIAA CAGE TITLE GAME

Two schools looking for their first ever AIAA basketball tournament championship will square off tonight at New York's Bigsby Garden in the deciding game of the 52nd annual AIAA cage championships. The two combatants will be the Lane State Emeralds and Lubbock State Hawks after each prevailed in Saturday's semi-final tilts.

The Emeralds, top seed in the West Region and ranked fourth in the nation entering the tournament, were champions of the West Coast Athletic Association and relied on accurate shooting to down the Indiana A&M Reapers Saturday evening in the first semi-final. During the regular season the Emeralds were one of the most accurate teams in the nation from the field and lived up to that billing by connecting on 52% of their field goal attempts in a 61-52 victory over the Reapers. Senior guard Harry Epstein, who went 5-for-7 from the field and 5-for-6 from the charity stripe, paced Lane State with 15 points in the victory.

The Emeralds, who reached the national semi-finals a year ago, have played in the title game twice previously but came up short on both occasions. In the spring of 1940 they lost to WCAA rival Rainier College in the finals while back in the 1929 tournament it was Columbia Military Academy that spoiled the festivities for the Oregon school.
*** Dramatic Finish Sends Lubbock State to Title Game for First Time Since 1918 ***

Lubbock State, champions of the Southwestern Alliance, missed the tournament entirely last year and have not won a post-season game since the 1953-54 season. The Hawks lone title game appearance prior to the one coming up this evening was way back in 1917-18, when they lost 22-15 to Brunswick College.

The Hawks, who were the 5th seed in the East Region and upset top seed Charleston Tech as well as number two Wisconsin State, found themselves trailing Great Plains State 37-32 at the half in Saturday's second game. The second half was a different story as the Hawks opened with a 12-0 run to take the lead before the Buffaloes got back on track. Great Plains State was ahead by 3 points with 40 seconds left in regulation but Lubbock State pulled to within one on an Earl Holmes 12-footer. Dave Paul made one of two free throws to put the Buffaloes back up by two at 59-57 but just as time expired Tommy Johns, who led the Hawks with 15 points, drove for a game tying layup and was fouled on the play. Johns made his pressure packed free throw with no time left on the clock to send Lubbock State to the title game with a 60-59 victory over Great Plains State.

HOME TEAMS DRAW FIRST BLOOD IN NAHC PLAYOFFS

Teams battle for 70 games during the regular season in order to gain an extra home game in the playoffs and that certainly paid off for both the Toronto Dukes and Chicago Packers as the post-season got underway over the weekend. The Dukes, who finished atop the NAHC standings won a laugher Saturday night, blasting fourth place Montreal 7-0 at Toronto's Dominion Gardens. A day later the second place Chicago Packers welcomed third place Detroit to the Lakeside Auditorium. That game required overtime but in the end the hosts prevailed, claiming a 3-2 victory.

Montreal had lost two of its final three regular season games but still managed to nose out the Boston Bees by a single point for fourth place. Toronto was not at the top of its game down the stretch either as the Dukes finished out the season with three wins and three losses in their final six games. Toronto was embarrassed 7-0 on home ice by Detroit the previous Saturday but rebounded by ending Boston's season, and securing a playoff berth for Montreal, by thrashing the Bees 9-1 in their regular season finale.

Clearly, the Dukes did not use up all of their offense in Boston, as Toronto scored twice in each of the opening two periods and then lit the lamp three more times in the final stanza to draw first blood in their best-of-seven semi-final series with the Valiants by clubbing Montreal 7-0. As one might expect, regular season scoring champ Quinton Pollack played a major role in the offensive outburst as the 39-year-old scored once and added three assists in the contest. Defenseman Bobby Fuhrman scored twice and added an assist while young winger Nick Landry also enjoyed a 3-point evening for the Dukes. Justin MacPhee turned aside all 22 Montreal shots for the 28-year-old's first career NAHC playoff shutout.

The visiting Detroit Motors arrived in Chicago as the hottest team in the loop, riding an 8-game unbeaten streak that included a win and a tie against the Packers in the previous seven days. Chicago, on the other hand, limped into the playoffs with 3 straight losses - results that cost the Packers first place.

The playoffs are a new start and both teams were cautious out of the gate. The first period was scoreless and saw the clubs combine for just 10 shots on goal including 6 from the Motors. Detroit took control in the middle frame, outshooting the Packers 18-7 and taking a 2-1 lead on goals by Alex Monette and Jack Doctorow. The lone Packer tally was a powerplay marker by Matt McGrath with Doctorow in the box for hooking.

Detroit carried the play in the third, again outshooting the Packers but the Motors could not put another puck past Chicago's second year goaltender Andrew Bomberry. Ken York, who led the Packers with 26 goals during the regular season, scored the only goal of the third period -just past the midway point- and that was enough to send the contest into overtime.

Overtime games have a tendency of ending quick or dragging on for an awful long time. This one was an example of the former as just over a minute into the extra period Chicago defenseman John Lucas creeped into the slot from his point position and ripped a wrist shot over the shoulder of Detroit netminder Sebastien Goulet to give the Packers the 3-2 victory. Lucas was an unlikely overtime hero, a rookie defenseman who had scored just twice in 32 regular season games found the back of the net in his first NAHC playoff contest.

Game two of the Chicago-Detroit series will be Wednesday in the Windy City before it shifts to Detroit for the third game on Saturday. The Toronto series continues at Dominion Gardens tomorrow night before the two clubs board a train for Montreal and Friday's third game.

Been a tough spring on pitchers with three of them already suffering season ending injuries. First it was 25-year-old Toronto lefthander Jim Jackson who blew out his shoulder. Jackson started a dozen games for the Wolves last season and went 4-7 with a 5.14 era. He was likely to make the pitching starved club in a bullpen role this season had he not been injured.
Yesterday 21-year-old Washington Eagles hopeful Johnny Davydov suffered a back injury that has likely ended his season. The 1958 fifth rounder split last season between A and AA. He is not a high end prospect, slotting in at 364th on the latest OSA rankings.
Between the two of them it was Duke Bybee of the expansion Dallas Wranglers who suffered a season, and possibly career ending injury. The 39-year-old was once a top prospect in the game, and won 21 games for the Chicago Cougars as a 25-year-old in 1948 but never quite lived up to the lofty expectations. If it is the end of the line for Bybee, he finishes with a 147-140 career record accumulated with 4 different teams.
Dallas Berry appears to be in mid-season form. The 30-year-old Cincinnati Cannons outfielder leads or is tied for the spring lead in all three triple crown categories. Berry won the CA Whitney Award twice (1957 & 1960) and is a 6-time All-Star Game participant.
Cincinnati is one of two Continental Association teams that made recent changes in the front office with San Francisco being the other one. The Cannons have had some lean years trying to recapture the success the club had shortly after moving from Baltimore with three straight pennants and a pair of WCS triumphs from 1943-45. The Sailors last pennant win was a little more recent, as they claimed a WCS title in 1951. San Francisco's new management team inherits a club that OSA predicts is the team to beat in the CA this year.
20-year-old Ed MacNaughton appears to be embracing the confidence Detroit manager Verlin Alexander has put in the #46 prospect according to OSA. Told the starting centerfield job in the Motor City was his to lose, the 1959 16th overall draft pick is enjoying a terrific spring- batting .404 with a homerun and 7 rbi's in 47 spring at bats. MacNaughton's arrival will shift incumbent Bill Morrison from center to right field.

It might be April Fool’s Day, but news of Chicago suddenly leaping into contention for a playoff spot has many people in disbelief. However, it is true. Chicago is on a ten-game winning streak to pull to within four games of a playoff spot with nine games to play. It is still a tall order, but one thing that works in the Panthers favor is that there are two teams four games ahead: the Rockets and the Mustangs. Chicago needs to keep winning, but the Panthers have two chances to sneak into the playoffs. Wins against both the Mustangs (91-69) and the Rockets (104-81) this week helped get them to within range. Chicago still somewhat controls its destiny, and the Rockets are in the crosshairs. Chicago will face St. Louis four times in the final nine games, but the Panthers are done with Detroit. The Panthers have four games against top-ranked Toronto and one against Washington to close out the schedule.
Meanwhile, Detroit and St. Louis, which are in a flat-footed tie at 32-39, will tip off four times in their final nine contests. It will be St. Louis’s playoff spot to lose, and they also control the potential of a home-court advantage in the Divisional Semifinal. St. Louis has eight consequential games left to determine who gets in and who finishes in second, as the Rockets have four against Chicago and four against Detroit. Both Detroit and St. Louis have lost four of five, but St. Louis has been on a tougher streak, losing nine of eleven.
Detroit will face Toronto three times, and the Mustangs had its hands full in its last game on Sunday night against the Falcons. The Mustangs had a three-point lead as the fourth quarter began, but ran out of gas in the final period, as Toronto had a 22-8 advantage and won by 11 points, 89-78. Detroit had 17 more field goal attempts but made the same number of shots (36) as Toronto. The Falcons got to the free throw line 15 more times and made 11 more shots, which was the difference in the game.
It is time to count down Boston’s magic number to clinch the Eastern Division. Over the past week, the standings have barely moved, and this is where it will settle. Boston (49-23) leads Philadelphia (40-29) by 7-1/2 games and while Philadelphia has three games in hand, the Centurions are still six ahead in the loss column with nine to play, which earns Boston a Magic Number of three to clinch the division. Any number of Boston wins and Philadelphia losses that add up to three will give Boston the Eastern Division title. Philadelphia is locked into second place, though, as the Phantoms are 7-1/2 games ahead of New York (33-37). Philadelphia’s Magic Number on New York is four because the Phantoms are eight ahead in the loss column with 11 to play.

RECENT KEY RESULTS

In Brooklyn, veteran Bronx born heavyweight Will Hatcher improved to 22-12-3 with a unanimous decision over another New York City area fighter in Chris Deal.
Charlie McMichael, a welterweight starting to garner some attention, hurt his title hopes somewhat after settling for a majority draw in Miami against Florida native Jed Long, who is 17-20-4 for his career. McMichael, a 27-yer-old New Yorker, entered the bout on a 20 fight win streak and with a 27-2-1 overall mark. The New York native should have handled Long easily, and outpunched him by a wide margin, but had an awful time trying to connect with the wiry Long and missed the mark on nearly 90% of his punches. There had been talk of a title shot for McMichael but that is now likely on the back burner for at least a little while.

UPCOMING MAJOR FIGHTS

Apr 12 in Las Vegas: Longtime welterweight champion Lonnie Griffin defends his crown against Dan McMullan. The 30-year-old Griffn (40-5-1) has held the title on four different occasions and his bout against McMullan will be his third defense this time around. McMullan (22-1) is a 23-year-old rising star from South Carolina and is getting his first shot at the welterweight title.
May 10- San Francisco: Middleweight champion Lyman King (39-0) makes his first title defense against Steve Bradshaw (30-8-2). King, a 24-year-old Oakland, CA. native claimed a 5th round TKO victory over now-former champ George Quisenberry at New York's Bigsby Garden in January. King has never lost a fight and only went to the judges cards twice in his last 9 outings. Bradshaw, 25, originally hails from Pittsburgh, PA. and is coming off an impressive victory over Bill Sanderson but has lost in recent years to some top names such as George Hatchell, Davis Owens and Hugo Canio.

The Week That Was
Current events from the week ending 4/01/1962

Steel negotiators announced a new two-year labor agreement that was immediately hailed by President Kennedy as fulfilling his appeal for an early and responsible settlement.
The President named Warren Howard, former All-American and AFA halfback as well as Rhodes scholar, to succeed Justice Charles Whitaker on the Supreme Court. The announcement came a day after Whitaker, on doctor's orders, announced his retirement.
Senate candidate Ted Kennedy, youngest brother of the President, disclosed he was asked to leave Dickson University in his freshman year after he had a friend take an examination for him in a course in which he had some difficulty.
South Viet Nam has launched a military operation involving some 1,500 troops near the Cambodian frontier.
Army officers in Northern Syria proclaimed a rebellion against the Syrian military junta and demanded reunion with President Nasser's United Arab Republic.
Violence continues in Algiers and Oran, cities with large European populations, but most of the countryside in Algiers is now under the control of Algerian nationalists.
Glum faced Jose Maria Guido, humbled by the watchful eye of Argentina's military leaders, formally assumed the presidency this week. Former President Arturo Frondizi was removed in a bloodless coup and sent to an isolated island for detention last week.
In the first of its kind ever undertaken with an Iron Curtain country, the United States will finance an unprecedented $2 million dollar medical research program by Polish and American scientists. The 5-year study will provide for collaboration by research scientists of both countries.
15 are dead and scores of others injured as a tornado plunged from a black cloud without warning and left widespread damage in northwest Florida.
