Don Meineke Leads Dayton
ToM7 Final With LuSoIIe

fans at Madison Square Garden
last night. The LaSalle Explorers,
q tall. agile crew, handed top
seeded Duquesne its second defeat
Of the season, 59-46. Then Day
ton, a semifinalist a year ago,
came on to whip third-ranked st.
Bonaventure, 69-62.
LaSalle's victory over the team
that was ranked fourth in the
Nation in the final Associated
Press poll was the least expected
Of the two. But it was in the
books from the first few minutes
and it became almost certain
when Norm Grekin went on q To-
point splurge late in the second
quarter. AK
But it was Meineke, on per-
formance and statistics, who stole
the senifinal show.
The bony, 6-foot-7 senior scored
Is points. Tipping in soft hook
shots from the keyhole or pushing
them in from the side with deft
ease.
His Is points made him the
tournaments high scorer with II
for three games and gave him a
three-year total Of 1909. That
surpassed the former record of
1,786 by Jim Lacey Of Baltimore
Loyola, which was broken this
year by Dick Groat Of Duke.
Groat finished his collegiate ca
reer with 1886 points. q mark
Meineke might conceivably equal.
After tomorrow's final, Dayton
will 90 into the National Collegi-
ate AA tournament as one Of the
"at large" teams and can play as
many as four games there.
Cola, the 6-6 freshman who
was sought by nearly every major
basketball college. was the key
man on the LaSalle attack In its
victory over Duuuesne by opening
up the Dukes defense. He scored
only 10 points while teammate
Norm Grekin racked up 81.
The Dukes. who beat LaSalle
by II points during the regular
season. lacked their usual hustle
and connected with only 10 Of 81
field goal attempts.
