KANSAS CITY, Mar. 24.-The
University of Oklahoma Sooners will
be after the Vests sixth straight
NCAA basket ball crown when they
tangle with Holy Cross, the Eastern
champion, in New York's Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night.
The Sooner's came up with one of
their greatest games of the year in
beating a fine University of Texas
Longhorn team, IS to 54, in a
frenzied finish Saturday night in the
Western NCAA playoff final. A
long jump shot by Kenneth Pryor,
who played less than 2 minutes,
gave Oklahoma the title with 10
seconds remaining.
A Sooner victory in New York
would mean three successive ma

the rugged, sharp-shooting Okla

Oklahoma caught up with the

Musterson No Master HurIer,
Though Mats ToppIe Tigers
BY Burton hoWkinS

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. "a. - The
Mats continue to cling to Walter
Masterson as if he were Juggling the
Kohinoor Diamond around in his
hip pocket, despite that he sparkles
less than a rusty knife. For years
now, Washington's bosses patiently
have waited for the perennial pro-
mise that is embodied in the tall
bespectacled pitcher to develop into
something sensational, but by this
time they have a sneaking suspicion
they're doomed to disappointment
In five full seasons and part o1
another, Masterson has won q
games for the Mats. Since 1899 wher
Walter came to the Mats from Phila'
lidelphia's semipro ranks, he has beer
threatening to blossom as q de-
pendable pitcher, but over that spar
he has had one winning year,
modest Avon, 3-lost record in 1941
In 1912 when he wasn't being
pounded he was something of 6
pitcher. He won only five game!
that year, but four Of those VIC
tories were ShutoutS.
SparkIes in Navy.
Then he went into the Navy ano
over three years he compiled an
amazing record against good service
clubs.
In 1943, he won IT games and
lost /: in 1914, ne boaSted a 20-4
record and in 1945, pitching for
submarine bases at Honolulu and
New London, plus hurting for a
semipro team in New England,
Walter won 18 games and lost none
Apparently MasterSon had found
himself and in his first game with
the Mats in the final stage of the
1945 season he didn't dispel that
notion. He hurled two-hitter
against Cleveland to beat the
mighty Bob Feller, 40.
That established Masterson as
big shot when he came to spring
training camp last year, but again
he failed to live up to expectations
He won five games last year and
had sos earned run average.
Over one stretch of the 1946 sea-
son Masterson set some kind OF
record. In 1925 innings. he was
Dashed for ~ hits, gave up is walks
and was hammered for Is runs. He
walked four straight batters against
Boston one day. In a relief role
the next day. he was slammed fol
eight hits and seven runs in two
innings.
Masterson was tossed to the Tigers
here yesterday and although he
was credited with victory it won I
rank as memorable achievement
He was slammed for five runs anc
10 hits in the four innings he la
bored, but despite his pitching the
Mats escaped with 7-6 triumph
over Detroit.

| NEW HAVEN, Conn, Mar. "a
For chap who took his first SWIM
ming lessons in a Philadelphia
| public bath house about seven years
ago, Joe Verdeur of La Sale College
has come along at record pace.
| Verdeur, 21-year- r-old freshman, is
the worlds fastest breaststroke
swimmer today and improving. He's
a sure bet for Olympic honors on the
say so of Bob Kiphuth, Yale's vet
eran coach, and other experts.
Sandy-haired Joe was the big hit
of the two-day Eastern Intercol-
legiate Swimming Leagues invita-
tion meet here over the week end
even outsbining Yale's water wizards
who captured 5 of the IL titles.
Lowers Own Record.
Verdeur, who wants to be dentist,
generated top excitement Saturday
night when he registered a scorching
PISA in Yale's 25-yard pool to lower
his own 200-yard breaststroke world
record by three and one-tenth Sec
onds.
What made his feat even more
impressive was that only % minutes
earlier he had won the gruelling 300
yard individual medley (breast-
stroke, backstroke and freestyle).
Paul Girdes. Yale yearling ace.
shared with Verdeur the honor of
being double winners. Girdes cap
tured the 100 and 22O-yard freestyle
titles and while not as spectacular
as Verdeur has a bright future.
Yale Off for West Coast.
Other titlists were Dick Morgan,
50-yard freestyle; Allen Stack, Yale,
