LaSaIIe Routs Bradley
For NCAA Title on
.Third-Period Rally
BY the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY. March 90
La Sales mighty Explorers shat
tered the Bradley hopes with a
brilliant third-quarter squirt to-
night that carried them to a rec
ord shattering 92-76 triumph
and the National Collegiate bas-
ketball championship before a
screaming crowd of almost TO-
500 in Municipal Auditorium.
LaSalle had been favored by
from four to six points before
play started, but the Explorers
and Tom Cola, their .All-America
ace, started slowly and Bradley
was leading. 43-42, at halftime.
This was quickly wiped out when
the third period began and La
Sale piled up its 15-point
margin.
Bradley used a late squirt to
gain a 22-19 first-quarter ad-
vantage after the Braves had ex-
changed baskets with LaSalle
from the opening whistle. Big
Dick Estergard.. Bradley center,
and Bob Carney fired accurately
early in the period and John
Kent helped with a fielder half
a minute before the quarters
end.
Cola Starts Slowly.
Charles Singley's three long
set shots and one free throw had
LaSalle up close all the way.
Cola made only one field goal
in the period.
Carney's free throw with Is
seconds remaining gave Bradley
its one-point halftime edge after
LaSalle had twice tied the score
at 1910 and 42-42 late in the
second quarter. Cola and Singley
each came through with long set
shots to offset. Bradley baskets
on drive-ins.
Trailing by seven points early
in the period, 1923, LaSalle
got back in the game as Frank
Blatcher hit a long one and Cola
scored on a tip-in and again
with a one-hand push from far
out.
Penn State Wins.
Penn State won third place
with a 70-61 victory over South
ern California in the preliminary
game.
The suggested new foul rule
was used in this game and it al
