Saturday only" sport today when
a joint emergency meeting of rep
resentatives of the football as

agreed with the government that
mldweek, professional soccer
matches should be prohibited to
reduce industrial absenteeism.

said, was necessary to conclude

Kentucky Rated Favorite
In Tilt With Long Island
Winner Of Contest To Face North Carolina
State In Semi-Finals Of National Invi-
rational Tourney Wednesday Night

At that Bradley had the night
high-scorer and hardest worker in
rocket Ray Ramsey, a 1.-the, blond
athlete who pitched in 81 points
and received a tremendous ovation
when he left the game on personals
a minute before the end.
Byrd collected 10 points, most
of them in the second half to doom
Bradley's hopes. He was ably abet-
ted by the superb blackboard work
of 6-3 Ed Beach.
N. c. State was jittery at the
start of its contest with the home
St. Johns five but the Wolfpack
soon took hold and was only two
points behind, 1927, at the half
despite missing five of eight free
throws in that period.
The Carolinians moved in front
shortly after the start of the second
half, and with SO Bob Hahn,
matching st. Johns big boy Harry
Boykoff, another 60 gent, won
Breezing. Hahn, a. balding, 21-year
old freshman from Ann Arbor,
Mich, dropped in three vital bas-
kets and a total of nine points be-
sides holding Boykoff to IL points.
Boykoff had scored 81 points, a
garden record, in his last start, but
he was we'll collared last night.
St. Johns coach Joe Lapchick
said Hahn ruined us. He didn't
play much for N. c. State during
the regular season and vas certain
ly a surprise"
Despite his teams defeat, Lap
chick said he didn't expect N. c.
State to win the tourney.
They're a good club, mind you,
but l think West Virginia or Ken
lucky or even L. I. u, should they
surprise Kentucky, can beat them,
But I'm a poor picker and you can
discount that"
Everett Case, who piloted the
to a tournament shot in
his first year at N. c. State, said
that his boys could do better.
Were better than we looked
and we'll prove it. I'm happy that
we came through that first one.
It'll give the boys more conf
dence."
