Loyola of Chicago will face Bradley U. in the 7 p.m. (CST) opener and towering Bowling Green, the tourney's new fa- vorite, will take on hostling San Franrisco in the 8:45 p.m. wind- ~up. The first game is rater a ;tars-up. Bowling Green is a four-point choice to down San )rrancisco. The victors then will play it, oat, for the championship Saturday night with the losers clashing in a consolation contest. The four survivors made a clean sweep of the meet's four seeded quintets, Kentucky, St. Louis, Utah and Western Kentucky, on "Mad Monday." It was no doubt the greatest series of upsets in basketball history. Loyola and Bowling Green weren't supposed to be in the tourney in the first place and Bradley and San Francisco weren't expected to go beyond the first round. At least the N.I.T. committee felt that way when it seeded Kentucky first; St.. Louis' defending champions, second ; Utah third and Western Kentucky fourth.
