NEW YORK. March 22.-Seton
Hall and Ohio University, led by
pair of the most brilliant individual
stars ever to appear in Madison
Square Garden, tackle canny Met
ropolitan cage rivals tonight in the
semi-finals of the national inter-
collegiate invitation basket ball
tournament
Seton Hall opposes the big Long
Island University team and Ohio
University faces the small but smart
City College quintet. With all the
reserved seats for tonight and for
Mondays finals already sold, indica-
tions are the crowd will approach
the Garden record of 1884 estab-
lished last Wednesday,
Bob Davies, the timber Seton Hall
star. left the Garden fans gasping
at his amazing performances against
Rhode Island State Wednesday and
no less an authority than Nat
Holman, the City College coach,
said he considered Davies better
player than Stanford's immortal
Hank. Luisetti. Frank BaumholZ,
the Ohio U. star, was UP against
somewhat more exacting opposition
in Mondays first-round game
against Duquesne, but he was almost
equally impressive.
There's a good chance, however,
that they'll meet in the consolation
game Monday rather than in the
championship battle.

On a 3-2-1 basis, the point score was
GUILTY 73, Mowers 81.

So Far Serene
Shoots 3-Under-Pur 81
To Deadlock Ghezzi
In Opening Round
BY BILL BONI.
Associated Press Sports Writer


GREENSBORO, N. c., March %.
Having had hunch that Sammy
Snead would win the North-South
Open golf championship this cor
ner now goes out on limb for
Johnny Bulla to take first money
in the $4,000 Greater Greensboro
Open-provided he keeps his temper
and out of trouble.
This prediction is offered not
merely because "Boo-Boo" went into
today'S second 18-hole round tied
for the lead at ST with Vic Ghezzi
of Deal. N. j. This is, of course,
very important factor. But there
are two others which merit consid-
Grafton.
Familiar With Course.
For one thing, Big John has a
marked advantage over his rivals.
One stroke up on such dangerous
par-buSterS as Horton Smith. Eddie
Burke and Jim Turnesa; two up on
1910 winner Ben Hogan and Young
Jimmy McHale. and three to the
good over Craig Wood, Ralph Gull
dahl. Tony Manero and Jimmy
Thomson, Bulla is favored by the
fact he knows all the inS and outs
of the two layouts over which this
tournament is being played.
He has played the Sedgefield c.
c. course. where he shot his 3-un-
der-par 81 yesterday, ever since he
was kid in knee pants. For the
same period he has tested the best
ways of scoring at StarmOunt For
est. where the last 36 holes will be
run tomorrow.
Yet there is more to our pro-Bulla
hunch than his. We followed him
for most of that Ct yesterday, and
not once did 'BOo-Boo' throw
club. We have seen him, diSgusted
at getting a mere par where he was
counting on a birdie sling his putter
into q green with such force that
it disappeared into the turf half way
up the shaft. Under the same cir
cumstanceS he mas been known to
stalk eff the 18th in huff, refusing
to turn in his card.
Sticks to His Knitting.
Perhaps the change in 'Boo-Boo"
Is due to the fact he's performing
before hometown gallery after
having been disqualified at Pine
hurst three days ago. He came to
Greensboro early the next day to
practice, and he's been sticking to
his knitting ever since, aiming for
his first win since he took down
$500 at Los Angeles in January.
Since in any tournament on the
winter circuit there are some 20
players who could win without its
being any great surprise, it may
be bit foolhardy to come out after
only 18 holes and pick winner"
However, we hereby are doing our
best by "Boo-Boo," trusting in him
to dc his best by US.
If he does, we won't be surprised.
