NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The Ma
tons three top basket ball teams
will wind up under one roof next
month If the National Invitation
Tournament gets its way.
The MT hopes to corral not
only Kentucky and st. Louis but
also Oklahoma A. and M. These
three rank 1928 in the Associated
Press poll.
st. Louis Q6-D is the defending
champion. Kentucky's Wildcats
Q9-D have shown every sign OF
wanting revenge for their only
loss and st. Louis is the team that
beat them. The Aggies u5-0
hold the only decision over St
Louis. All of which would make
things very interesting.
The MT opens in Madison
Square Garden here March IL
Although nothing official has been
forthcoming from the Invitation
Committee, it's known that St
Louis is expected back. And the
Billikens' return is figured to
bring Kentucky, the defending
NCAA champion, into the fold.
Aggies' Acceptance in Doubt.
The Aggies are another prob
lem. They'll be asked, all right,
but whether they will come re-
mains in doubt. They took a whirl
at the NCAA last year and found
themselves on the sidelines before
the regular firing began.
In the Midwest the Missouri
Valley champion and the Big Sew
en- champion usually play single
game for the right to represent
the region in the NCAA. Oklahoma
A. and M. was upset by Kansas
State in that playof a year ago.
This season the University of
Oklahoma. a good bet to win the
Big Seven, holds one Of the three
over the Aggies.
With the cream SKINNED off g,
the rest of the field is wide open
for both the MT and the NCAA
tournaments. Both pick eight
teams.
Tulane d9-2), beaten only by
Kentucky. and San Francisco 19-
~ are sure to be high on the NIT
list.
The Southern Conference win
ner, probably North Carolina State
17-8, and the Big Seven winner,
either Oklahoma Q0-6) or Ne
braska Ql-6) appear headed for
the NCAA.
Other possibilities for one or the
other of the postseason merry-go-
