Battle Of Irish, n. Y.U.
Takes Spotlight Off
Tournament Bids
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 1.-Notre Dame
takes its whack tonight at New
York University's perfect court rec
ord. thus temporarily distracting
college basket ball attention from
the mad scramble for postseason
tournament berths.
For the Big City this is the game
of the year" Madison Square Gar
den's 18,400 available seats have
been sold out for weeks.
On their season records of IA VIC
tories and defeats, the Irish
wouldn't be figured to crack N. Y.
us 19-game winning streak, but
several factors point up the posi-
bility of an upset.
Notre Dame has John Brennan
back and the star center, who's been
on the shelf with a broken arm,
demonstrated his usefulness Satur-
day by scoring % points in Notre
Danes 64-55 triumph over Canisius.
Also, the Irish defeated practically
this same N. Y. U. outfit year ago,
$3.50. Over the long haul Notre
Dame holds lis game edge in the
rivalry.
Nationally, the Garden contest
must share the spotlight with a
couple of tle-deciding affairs in
the Middle West.
Michigan, leading the Big Nine
with 90 record, plays its main
challenger, Iowa (8-3), tonight at
Ann Arbor. A victory will give
the Wolverines the championship.
Then there's the family fuss at
Lawrence, Kans., between Kansas
State and Kansas University. Kan
sas State CD needs a win over its
old rival to clinch the Big Seven
crown.
These and two other conferences
the Ivy League and the Northern
Division of the Pacific Coast Circuit
are the only ones in which titles
have not been decided.
The Southeastern, where Kentucky
came through, and the Southern,
where North Carolina State was the
victor, stage their annual tourna-
ments this week.
Other Conference champions are:
Southwest, Baylor: Missouri Valley,
Oklahoma A. and M; Mountain
States, Brigham Young, and Pacific
Coast, California (Southern Divi-
sion).
Columbia, Cornell and Princeton
are battling for the Ivy title. Oregon
State, Washington and Washington
State are involved in the West
Coasts North half melee.
The weeks activities are expected
to fill cavities in the postseason
tournament ranks, now less than
half complete.
Only half the field has been picked
for the eight-team National Invita-
ton Tournament opening at Madi-
son Square Garden March H.
The four teams already named are
Western Kentucky, st. Louis, Texas
and North Carolina State.
Holy Cross. representing District l,
and Kentucky, District 8, are the
only teams named for the NCAA a
week later, with six not yet named.

'CapitoIs Near Cellar
After Losing Fourth
Straight Contest
: Special Dispoich TO The Sior

CHICAGO, Mar. 1.-The stagger-
ing Washington Capitols, who a
week ago held first place, now are
only half a game above the Western
Division cellar in the Basket Ball
Association of America race. They
reeled under their fourth straight
defeat last night as the Chicago
Stays gained a 76-75 overtime vic
tory. All that kept the Caps from
hitting the bottom was that Balti-
more also lost last night to the Bos-
ton Celtics, 65-62.
Baltimore could pull Washington
to its level by beating St. Louis
Thursday as the Caps don't play
again until Saturday. The Flyers
are the Western Division leaders.
In the Eastern division, New York
is on top with 21a game edge over
Philadelphia and its margin may
be widened by executive edict.

Podoloff must decide the issue.

The Caps owned a 20-15 edge in the
first period, which had changed to
1896, Chicago, at the half. Going
into the final the Caps led, 52-44,
but a late Stag rally, led by Max
zaslofsky, tied the game at 65-65
at the end of regulation time.
Max tossed in two quickies to
start the extra frame, and the Caps
never pulled even. zaslofsky took
individual honors with 28 points,
while Bob Feerick led the Caps
with 81.

Flanders Group Plans
Hearings on Initiation
Problems Next Month
Bv ]. A. OLeory

A Republican-controlled congress
sional group plans to take one more
look at the imitation picture before
turning the reins over to the DEM
ocrats in January.
Senator Flanders, Republican, Of
Vermont, chairman Of a cost-of-
living subcommittee Of the Joint
Economic Committee, said he hopes
to arrange 10 days Of hearings,
starting December 7.
The main issue will be corporate
profits, but the Senator indicated
he would seek the views Of leading
economists and industrialists on
taxation, monetary controls, price
fixing and rationing.
Among the questions to be gone
into would be: The inflationary ef-
feet of repeated rounds Of price and
wage increases; whether new busi-
ness taxes, If decided on by Con-
gress should take the form of a re-
vived excess profits levy or an in
crease in the corporation normal
tax rate; the current volume OF
profits based on investments, sales
or other suitable yardsticks; the
availability of profits for distribu-
ton in view of increased cost Of do
ing business; disposition OF profits
as dividends, reinvestment in plants
or as increased wages or lower
prices.
Although the hearings probably
will develop information useful later
to the regular committees of the
new Congress, any conclusions this
