SEATTLE, Mar. 28.-Alex
Groza-basket balls magic noun
tain-and four spellbinding Ken
lucky teammates worked their
sorcery on Oklahoma A. and M
and the disappearing act on sew
en- playoff records as they cap
tured their second straight NCAA
championship Saturday.
Before an overflow crowd of
12,500 at the University of Wash
ington's Edmundson Pavilion,
Coach Adolph Rupp's hoopsters
outgalloped and outshot the
valiant Aggies, 46-36.
Earlier in the evening, hard
driving Illinois mounted a pow
erful late-game surge to edge
Oregon State College, 57-53, and
snatch third place in the tourna-
ment.
In the keenly awaited clash be-
tween ofense and defense, Coach
Henry Iba's gifted shackle- makers
were able to fit handouts for all
the Wildcats but GroZa. The g.
foot-7-inch center rammed in 25
points, however, before fouling
out five minutes before the final
gun. And Bob Harris, the
equally altitudinous Aggie pivot
man. fouled out early in the Sec
,ond half trying to truss him up.
Groza Sets Three Records.
Groza cracked three NCAA
scoring records before taking his
final canter to the bench and was
voted by attending sportswriters
the most valuable man in the
playoffs.
His three-game totals Of 81
points, 81 field goals and 20 foul
points, all set new standards. The
ofd marks, 76 points and 80 field
g0aB. We're set BY Bob Kurland,
Oklahoma A. and NJ, in 1945, and
The former record of II, ,tQm points
BY JACK rUgndermant Ohio State.
The Wildcats as q team held
three new scoring records and q
half interest in a fourth.
The one-team, one-game total
of IS against Villanova in the
first round broke the old mark Of
10 set by Arkansas in 1945.

Caps Fear Floor Shift
kayHandieap Them in
Series With Knicks
By Bill Fuchs

The Caps may learn about the
old warning against changing
horses in midstream. They are
moving from Uline Arena, their
"home" floor, and the switch
could help upset them as they
face the New York Knickerbock-
ers at the National Guard Armory
tomorrow night. The game will
open a best-two-out-of three Sc
ries for the Eastern Division title
in the Basket Ball Association of
America. The second game will
be played in New York Thursday
and. the third-if necessary-here
Saturday.
The Shrine Circus is occupying
Uline Arena-"home" to the Caps
all season. Although they still
will be playing in Washington,
the Caps won't be playing in
familiar surroundings. They have
been studying all angles of the
vast National Guard establish
ment the last few days, but there
is so much difference between it
and Uline that. the Caps will be
handicapped.
THE Armory court appears so
much bigger" said Coach Red
Auerbach, as he put his charges
through a rugged practice session
yesterday. Its the same size. of
course, but the background is so
vast. 1t tends to make player
tire faster.
And you have a solid floor here,
At Uline the floor had little give
to it. That's also going to tire the
players.
THE baskets are different, too.
They're tighter than the ones at
Uline and rebounds will be longer.
And it will be harder to make
baskets. too. Your percentage OF
luck will be lower.
philadelphia has one loose
basket and one tight one. for in
stance. The ball has a much
better chance of going in the loose
one. These things are advantages
to the home team, because they
have all season to become accus-
toned to them"
But the Caps will be a little
more familiar with the Armory
than New York. They drilled
there Saturday and yesterday
morning and planned another
practice there tonight at $50 to
which the public is invited.
Freddy Scolari. who hasn't seen
playof action because of broken
middle finger, worked out yester-
day. but was off in his shooting.
Hell play" says Auerbach,
"but you can't expect man to
be out nearly three weeks and still
be in shape"
Matt Zunic, who. injured his
ankle in Philadelphia last week,
also will see action.
Tickets for the initial game may
be purchased at Uline Arena and
The Fairway, 1923 G street NV,
tomorrow at 10 am.
The winner of the series will
take on the Western loops winner
in a -four of seven series for
the -BAA championship. Mime
