KANSAS CITY, Mar. 13.-The
fiery Sycamores Of Indiana State
College, Terre Haute, and the de.
liberate play-makers of the Univer.
sity of Louisville Ky0 meet tonight
for the National intercollegiate bas.
ket ball title and spot in the Olym.
pic playoffs.
Indiana State whipped favored
Hamline University of st. Paul,
Mimi, 66-65, last night. Center
Duane Klueh's desperate, one
handed shot swished through the
net split-second before the final
gun ended an overtime period.
The Louisville Cardinals, playing
their usual methodical game, rallied
in the last five minutes to beat
Xavier University Of Cincinnati,
56-49.
Tonight's winner will play in the
eight-team Olympic playoff at New
York, March 27, 90 and 81 to deter.
mine the United States representa-.
tive in next summers world games
in London.
Klueh threw in two free throws
in the last four seconds of regula-
ton playing time for Indiana State
to get 5000 tie with Hamline and
send the game into overtime.
Hamline, led by Forward Hal
Haskins who threw in 80 points for
the night, wiped out 1890 Indiana
State halftime lead and appeared
to be coasting to victory when the
Sycamores caught fire.
Louisville, with little Johnny
Knopf sparkling the attack, shook
off 1927 halftime handicap by
catching up late in the game to
beat Xavier.

NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-Marcel
Cerdan's convincing rout Of young
Tavern Roach puts the New York
State Athletic Commission on the
hot seat. Now the muddled mid
dleweight situation screams for &C
ton.
Rocky Graziano, 160-pound king
in many States, is rated undesirable
on his home grounds. His license
was revoked for concealing an al
legged bribe offer.
With the champ unrecognized, the
title has been declared lin abey-
ance" by Chairman Eddie Eagan of
the commission. The place is
swarming with would-be contenders.
Cerdan, who stopped Roach in
2::31 of the eighth round last night
in Madison Square Garden, has
strong case. Unbeaten in five North
American starts, the Frenchman
with the smiling eyes has a string
of 80 victories. At the age Of 49,
like Gus Lesnevich, he seems to
be improving.
Then there's Tony Zale, who lost
/ his crown to Graziano in Chicago
last summer. He's on a comeback
and ready for action.
Robinson Wants Chance.
Ray Robinson stepped into the
picture last night when his press
representative, Pete Vaccare, pro-
nounced that Sugar Ray was willing
to give up his welter title to mingle
with the middles under Sthe right
circumstances.
With considerable pressure being
brought to bear on the commission
four alternatives are offered:

only end in an ignominious failure
on the part Of the instigators of a
