LONG ISLANDERS
 SLIGHT CHOICE. TO TAKE MEET
Blackbirds Best in Writ ers' Hoop Gathering;
 LOyOla Extended
Rx LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff COrreSpOndcnt)
 New York, March 21.-(UP)-The east will be favored slightly over tho west when Long Island univer- sity and Loyola of Chicago meet to- morrow night in the final of the second annual New York Writes In- vitat tion Basketball Tournament.
 The L. I. U. Blackbirds were the choice because they were regarded generally stronger than Brooklyn,S St. Johns five that extended Loyola into overtime before lowing 51-46 in the semi- finals before a capacity house of 18,206 in Madison Square Garden last night. :
 Long Island vanquished Bradley Tech of Peoria 36-32. In prelim- mary the two teams eliminated in the first round played to decide fifth and sixth places, and New Mexicos Aggies scored over Roanoke college 55-52.
 No Trouble
 The Long sland-Bradley Tech score does not indicate the easy time the Blackbirds had in reaching the final. After the Peoria outfit had registered two quick baskets, L. I. U. took charge completely, running up a lead that reached 12 points-23 to Hat the half.
 Johnny Bromberg, star guard of the Blackbirds, paced the eastern champions 10 their 23rd consecutive victory with four goals and four foul basktes for 12 points.
 Bill Lloyd of St. Johns last night led his mates with IT points on five goals and seven free throws, but he was not as good as Loyola's s six-foot, nine-inch center, Mike Novak, who dropped in 20 points. Novak also acted as a veritable gcalie on defense.
 Overtime
 The Chicago quintet held the lead until almost the end when a spirited St. Johns rally deadlocked the count at 43-43. Wibs Kautz put Lyoola ahead again, but Howie Vockes basket as the whistle blew tied 1t 45-45. In the overtime, while Lloyd scored one foul shot for St.. Johns. Novak contributed a goal and a free throw, George Wenskus two foul shots, and Bill O'Brien another foul for Loyolas 21st straight vic- tory.
 Tomorrow night Bradley Tech and St. Johns will meet in a play off for third and fourth places that should furnish almost as good a ~ame as the L. I. U.-Loyola final.

BOWSER NAMED HEAD COACH TO
 SUCCEED JOCK
Takes Action; Sec- retary Quits - New
 Coach at $7,5OO
BY FRANK MATTHEWS United Press Staff Correspondent


 Pittsburgh. March 21. = (UP) = Charles w. Bowser stepped intobig- time football coaching today with a three-year contract at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh. Pitts board of trustees at the same time opened an investigation of Athletic Turmoil at the school.
 Bowser has been in private busi- ness for the past year, but has 15 years of coaching experience, in- cluding two terms as assistant at Pitt and head coaching positions at two small colleges.
 Dr. John Bain (Jock) Sutherland, who was Pitts coach IS years, quit March 4 because of "intolerable" conflict between his Athletic De- partment and the University admin istration.
 After approving the Bowser con- tract, which reportedly carries an annual salary of $7,500, the trus- tees appointed seven of their mem- bers to an Investigating committee. This was at the request of Chancel- Tor John c. Bowman.
 Only a few hours before, Mayor Cornelius D. Scully, a Pitt trustee, had issued an open letter denounc- ing the great God rush" at Pitt and demanding that the board remove any Cause for criticism"
 The committee included such prominent Pittsburghers as Ernest T. Weir. Leon Faulk, A. w. Robert son, Arthur E. Brown, Norman Mac Leod, c. W. Ridinger and Dr. Ed ward Weidlein.
 Resolution
 Two other developments marked the aftermath of Sutherlands res- ignation. The Pitt Alumni Council adopted a resolution regretting that our university. Should suffer conditions to exist which rendered it impossible for him (Sutherland to continue to serve it," and Don F. Saunders, secretary of the General Alumni Association, resigned because "Iny services to the association are no longer of value because I have becom- in- creasingly unsympathet.c to some policies of the university administra- ton which I believe. to be detri- mental to the best intesests of the school and alumni"
 Help Wanted
 Bowser conferred today with ap- plicants for jobs as assistants. One man believed certain to be on the staff was Albert Ouby) Demeolo, Panther captain in 1929.
 Bowser learned his football under Pop Warner at Pitt in 1920, 1921 and 1922. He broke into coaching as an assistant at Grove City Col lege and a year later, 1924, became head coach. In the three succeed ing seasons his teams won 18 and lost six games. Then he moved to Pitt as assistant under Sutherland, staying until 1880, when he accept- ed job as head coach at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Me.
 Bowdoin teams under him won nine games, lost 21, and tied five in five years. After that Bowser re- turned to Pitt and stayed as an as- sistant until the end of the 1887 season, when he entered the. insur- ance business.
