THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRI DAY, MARCH Bra dley, Providence Win NIT' Tilts Braves' Soph Star Drugged Before Semi-Final Game Michigan Tech Wins, 13-3, In NCAA Hockey Tourney C By The Associated Press NEW YORK-Sophomore Chet Walker, feared drugged before the game, scored 27 points in 23 minutes of play last night and- fired top-seeded Bradley into the finals of the N~.ational Invitation Basketball Tournament with an 82-71 decision that snapped St. Bonaventure's 18-game winning streak. Unseeded Providence j o i n e d Bradley in the final, blowing a 10- point halftime lead before storm- Len Wilkens and Jim Hadnot for ing back behind Johnny Egan, a 68-62 victory over second-seed- ed Utah State. The doubleheader drew a capacity crowd of 18,496 to Madison Square Garden. Walker, a 6-foot-7 sophomore, from Benton Harbor, who leads Bradley in scoring, drank a glass of orange juice delivered to his midtown hotel room by an un- known person yesterday. He be- came sick shortly thereafter and Coach Chuck Orsborn reported the incident to police. A test of the juice turned up no suspicious elements but the outcome was not known until after the game. Meanwhile, Orsborn kept shuttling Walker in and out of the lineup for examination and treatment and the youngster responded with a brilliant performance when he Saunders also drank the juice but was on the court. Bradley's Al was not affected. Walker, who munched pills to relieve nausea during the game, had 18 points as the Braves rode to a 42-37 halftime lead. He got these although he spent seven of the 20 minutes in the dressing room or on the bench. He came back twice for a total of 10 min- utes after the intermission and added nine points, five in a game- breaking effort when the Bonnies rallied to within six points, at 69-63 with four minutes to play. With Walker's play limited, an- other sophomore, 6'5" Mack Herndon of Chicago, gave the Braves a big helping hand with 22 points, 16 of them in the sec- ond half. Between the two big tophs, St. Bonaventure gradually withered. The pesky Providence Friars, who raced into a 36-26 lead at the half, lost their touch in the first eight minutes after the intermis- sion, and Utah State fought back to a 42-42 tie. In another three minutes the Aggies built a 49-47 lead before the Friars from Rhode Island found themselves and regained the lead. They built it to 57-51, saw that chopped to 57-56, then pulled away as Hadnot hit five points and clutch guys Egan and Wilk- ens two apiece in the last three minutes. Hadnot, a sleepy-eyed 6'-10" soph, made it 59-56 on a rebound at 2:10. Egan drove in for a lay- up to make it 61-56 30 seconds later, and three free throws by Hadnot offset a pair by Tyler Wil- bon and made it 64-58 with 33 seconds left. After Utah State pulled with- in four again, Wilkens wrapped it up with a pair of free throws with 11 seconds left.' Wilkens led the Friars with 18 points. Egan had 16 and Hadnot 10, plus 13 big rebounds. Cornell Green and Dick Schofield had 19' apiece for the Aggies who wound up with a 23-5 record. BOSTON - Michigan Tech, thanks to some skillful Canadians, skated rings around St. Lawrence University last night, whipping the Larries 13-3 in a semifinal game of the NCAA hockey tournament, Michigan Tech will play for the National Title Saturday night against the winner of tonight's game between Denver and Boston universities. Louis Angotti, 21-year-old soph- omore from Toronto, and Gerry Fabbro, a junior from Trail, B.C., each registered hockey's three- goal hat trick in powering the midwestern team to victory. The Larries played Michigan Tech on even 1-1 terms until early in the second period when the roof fell in. Michigan Tech scored eight goals in that middle session to put the game far out of the Larries' reach. The winners added four more in the finale. Michigan Tech's other big point men were John Kosiancic of Kim- berley, B.C., with a goal and three assists and Paul Coppo of Han- cock, Mich., with a goal and four assists.

Leafs-Beat,.- Canadians MON''REAL (R) - Toronto Maple Leafs last night out-skated and out - checked the Montreal Canadiens to take a 6-2 National Hockey League victory before 14,- 695. Toronto's goals against Mon- treal goalie Jacques Plante dead- locked him with Chicago Goalie Glenn Hall in the Vezina Trophy race.

The victory was Tor- onto's first at Montreal this sea- son. Toronto checked the Canadiens closely all night, and Montreal, except for a couple of brief spurts, never seemed to threaten seriously in the Leaf tone.

LOUIS (W- - Led by Elgin. Baylor's 40 points, the Minneapolis Lakers stunned the overconfident St. Louis Hawks with a last quarter drive for a 120-113 victory last night, squaring the Western title playoff series 1-1. Bidding to upset the regular season National Basketball Asso- ciation Western champs for the second straight year, the deter- mined Lakers were never headed once they grabbed their first lead of the ballgame, 7:47 from the wire. , (Editors Note: This is the second of a Aeries about the upcoming NCAA Swim - Championships.) By HAL APPLEBAUM Nearly all of the 14 individual events in the upcoming NCAA swim championships are rated tossups, but if experts were asked to name the one swimmer most likely to win the consensus would undoubtedly favor Michigan's Ron Clark in the 200-yard breast- stroke. The reason Clark has earned this distinction is quite obvious. At the beginning of the col- legiate swim season the NCAA and American record for the 200- yard breaststroke was held by Miami of Ohio's Bill Mulliken, at 2:21.3. Breaks Record Clark reduced that mark by two seconds February 1, and then lowered it another 1.8 seconds in the Big Ten Championships, March 5. Indian'a coach Dr. Jim Coun- silman, one of the nation's top The Hawks were coasting along with a lead ranging from three to 11 points and were in front by 10, 90-80, with 1:27 left in the third quarter when Minneapolis started its winning drive. Former Hawk Frank Selvy, showing almost every shot in the book in a 22-point night, wiggled past the Hawks for three straight layups to close the gap 90-86 at the third quarter mark. Then Jim Pollard's club tied the score three times at 93, 95 and 96 J coaches and an old breaststroke champion himself, said "Clark's time of 2:17.4 is the outstanding achievement in American swim- ming so far this year. He stands alone at the top of the field." This comment is even more re- markable in light of the fact that Counsilman has a swimmer of his own, Mike Troy, who has lowered the American standard in the 200-yard butterfly by 3.1 sec- onds. On the basis of these record breaking performances Clark, al- so the AAU Outdoor champion, is currently rated America's num- ber one breaststroke hope in the Olympics this summer. Fastest in Nation Though he finished six seconds ahead of his nearest competitor in the Big Ten meet and has swum faster than any one else in the nation this season, Clark is not without competition. Mulliken, on hand again, has not turned in any spectacular times this year, 'but the Pan American champion can be count- ed on to offer stiff competition for Clark at Dallas. Fred Munsch of Long Island, a teammate of Clark's on the AAU team which toured Japan last summer, was clocked in slightly over 2:20 two weeks ago. Gordon Collet of Oklahoma, the nation's best at 100-yards, may be able to go a strong 200, al- though he has reportedly been ill in the last month. Charles Griffin of Navy, a for- mer American record holder for the event, and Indiana's Gerry Miki have been clocked in 2:23.4 and could do considerably better in Dallas. Hood. Times Norbert Rumpel of Southern Illinois and Tom Winters of Southern California have not re- corded good times, but both have displayed championship form. In the 100-yard breaststroke the same cast will be on hand, but Clark's best time in this sprint race is nearly a half-second be- hind Collet's record and the Wol- ,i * * IN HIGH FIDELITY... The Super Magnasonlc verine star may not be able to catach the quick starting Sooner. The one thing in Michigan's favor in the breaststroke is that Southern Cal and Indiana, the Wolverine's top challengers, both lack breaststrokers to keep pace with Clark with the result that Michigan's hope to gain a consid- erable point advantage on the Trojans and Hoosiers, their chief foes, as they drive for their fourth consecutive NCAA Championship. - 0 Was $259.50 NOW $19950 We sell the best and service the rest I n C o r p corporated 300 South Thayer NO 2-2500 omwmmmmmmwAbl 4,I 4 COMPUTERS, CAREERS and YOU. after you join Western Electric Men who face wind andweather Interested in computers, computer technol- ogy and applications?
