REMBEMBER YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD HERE HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The National Collegiate Basketball Championship, often referred to as the NCAA Tournament, was inaugurated in 1939 as the result of a recommendarion from the National Association of Basketball Coaches that a basketball tournament be held to determine a national champion.
For the first time this year, the 19-year old rourna-ment will divided into two divisions with an anticipated field of more than 50 aspirants taking part in the quest for two coveted national championships.
The established tournament now becomes known as the University Divisionto include those schools playing "major" schedulesand a new tournament has been originated to be known as the College Division, encompassing schools in the small college category who do not attempt a major basketball schedule.
Under the pattern of the original tournament as revised in 1951 and later, the path leading to the na-
tional championshipwhich will be decided in Kansas City March 23 for the majors and at Evansville, Ind., March 15 for the small collegesis a rocky enough one to assure that the eventual champions are truly top flight basketball teams worthy of the honor of heading rhe 450-member NCAA.
The University Division draws is participants from 182 eligible schools, wirh 16 champions of major conferences across the country entering as automatic qualifiers. Seven other "At Large" teams, not affiliated with a conference, round out the field of 23 by invitation.
First round preliminaries took place at various sites March 11-13 with winners advancing to the four regional tournamentsEast at Philadelphia, Midwest at Lexington, West at Dallas and Far West at Corvallis, Ore. Regional winners go on to the national semi-finals and finals at Kansas City.
The complete University Division tournament bracket is on page 24.

Kentucky's Best & Fastest Service  Priced Right THANKS!
The success of the fine basketball program being held in Memorial Coliseum tonight is not something that just automatically happened with the assignment of the University of Kentucky as host for the Midwest Regional NCAA Tournament. Nor is it merely the work of one individual or group.
Instead, this outstanding event represents the culmination of several weeks of planning and a great deal of working support by numerous individuals and civic-minded organizations, chief among them the University of Kentucky Committee of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce.
On behalf of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Tournament Committee and the University, I wish to take this opportunity to publicly thank everyone who has played a part in assuring the success of this tournament. Without this splendid help, there would have been no opportunity for basketball fans of this area to see four nationally-renowned teams in action leading to the National Championship.
Thanks also go to the Lexington Herald-Leader for their invaluable aid in keeping the public informed about the tournament, to other members of the press and radio for their co-operation and to the Lexington Salesmen's Club, whose members lent valuable help in the sale of tickets.
A special note of appreciation also is due Mr. A. E. Hukle, Manager of the Phoenix Hotel, who voluntarily gave his services to solicit advertising for the official game program. His work and the advertising support given by Lexington business firms enabled the presentation of this fine game program.

THE TOURNAMENT TRAIL
For the first time since the National Collegiate Basketball Championship was inaugurated in 1939, the University of Kentucky is privileged to play host to a regional section of the annual NCAA eliminations leading to the national title. Although Kentucky's Wildcats have long been the top name in the cage world and rank as the only three-time NCAA champion, the only previous portion of the big tournament ever held here was a first-round playoff two seasons back. Participants then were Miami (Ohio) University, Penn. State, Marquette and Memphis State.
The Midwest Regional being played here tonight draws its teams in two ways. Champions of the South-
eastern Conference and Big 10 qualified automatically by winning their respective leagues. The two other teams advanced ro the Regional after successes in preliminary competition at the Ohio State Fieldhouse in Columbus on March 12.
Out of the Lexington Regional, one of four such tournaments in the country going on simultaneously, will come a regional champion who qualifies to advance to the semi-finals which will be staged at Kansas City on March 22. Winners of the two semi-final games, Eastern and Western champions, play for the national championship at Kansas City March 23.

Robert Timmons
After just four seasons on the job, Pitt basketball chief Bob Timmons has brought his cage outfit to their best record in 16 years (15-9) and first post-season tournament bid since 1941. This year, the Panthers closed with a rush that saw them victorious in five of their last six starts and the NCAA Tournament berth pointed the finger at Timmons as one of the East's leading mentors. In four seasons, his Pitt record stands at an even .500 with 49 wins and 49 losses going into tourney play.

PITTSBURGH BASKETBALL RESUME
Appearing in its first post-season tournament since 1941, the surprising Pittsburgh basketeers marked themselves as one of the country's leading independent teams with a late-season surge that carried them to a 15-9 record, their best in 16 years.
Highlighting their early season campaigning, the Panthers took a 5-2 record into the Orange Bowl Classic and came out with runner-up honors after losing by four points in overtime to Connecticut, later to enter the NCAA Tournament as Yankee Conference champion. Included in their holiday tourney foes was Western Kentucky and the Hilltoppers felt the sting of defeat, 85-81.
After the New Year, the pace of outstanding opposition stepped up and Pittsburgh was hard pressed but played tremendous ball and won five of the last six starts, nevertheless. Their last loss was to West Virginia, eventual Southern Conference titlist. Sparkling of the Pitt attack is sophomore guard Don Hennon, leading scorer on the team with 20.8 average and one of the nation's smallest regulars.
The pattern of the Panthers' showing against high calibre competition lends support to the feeling they may possibly go even further this time than in their last NCAA trial six years ago when they lost to Wisconsin in the eastern championship game.
Pitt took a big step toward this goal as they moved into the Midwest Regional with an 86 to 85 triumph over Morehead in a preliminary playoff game at Columbus.

Coach Adolph Rupp
When the sport of basketball is mentioned today, a direct chain of thought eventually brings out the name of one man who has become virtually synonymous with the game over the past quarter-century  Adolph Rupp of Kentucky. In his 27th season, the "Nation's Winningest Coach" can look back over an unprecedented record of three NCAA championships in eight appearances, 17 conference titles and a host of other honors while compiling a victory average of better than 85 percent.

KENTUCKY BASKETBALL SEASON RESUME
Adolph Rupp, the colorful baron of basketball at Kentucky whose amazing success story in 27 seasons with the Wildcats would fill a book, can't help smiling a bit while shaking his head in amazement at the feats of the 1956-57 Kenruckians.
The smile isn't born of smugness at the Wildcats' record of gaining an unprecedented 17th Southeastern Conference title, ranking as the third best team in the nation by all polls on 22 victories in 26 tests or their unequalled achievement of entering the NCAA Tournament for the ninth time in quest of a record fourth national title.
Rather, the veteran coach's smile and head shaking is brought about as he reflects on his pre-season estimate that "this could possibly be the weakest Kentucky team in the past 15 years." He honestly believed the loss of three tall and talented regulars plus a key reserve from a team that had posted the worst record since 1943 would necessitate a rebuilding job resulting in an even poorer showing.
The fact that the young and inexperienced crew, which boasted no All-America scoring star to carry the load and relied more on "heart" than talent, raced through a card of major opposition with remarkable success proved as big a surprise to the coach as to the average fan. Most amazing was the further fact that the record was achieved despite further problemssuch as rwo one-point setbacks early in the season, the month-long loss of stellar guard Vernon Hatton and other psychological factors.
Highlighting the record was the Wildcats' feat of upsetting previously undefeated Southern Methodist and Illinois on successive nights to win the UK Invitational Tournament, following up with a Sugat Bowl trophy and staving off the stiffest challenges in league history to capture the SEC title.
For the obviously outstanding job, Baron Rupp once again was chosen "Coach of the Year" in the SEC and was runnerup in national balloting on the honor. Individual honors went to sophomore forward Johnny Cox with All-Conference and third team All-American selections.

# Eastern College Athletic Conference Holiday Festival Tourney * Double Overtime
NOTRE DAME BASKETBALL SEASON RESUME
Despite a slow start which saw them win only five of their first ten games, the 1956-57 Notte Dame basketball team lived up to every inch of the Fighting Irish tradition to stage a sensational finish that won them a third invitation to the NCAA Toutnament.
Coach Johnny Jordan's charges, after solving their early season difficulties, bounced back to close out the regular campaign with nine consecutive victories and, all told, won 13 of their last 15 encounters with formidable opposition. To gain the Midwest Regional berth here, Notre Dame disposed of Mid-American Conference champion, Miami of Ohio, in a preliminary playoff at Columbus, 89 to 77 and brought their season record to 19 wins against seven defeats.
This Irish team, boasting the distinction of being the highest scoring Notte Dame club in history with 2,106 points in regular season play, shows such important achievements as runner-up honors in the Holiday Festival toutney and impressive seasonal wins over the Big Ten co-champions, Michigan State and Indiana. Their last loss was a double overtime decision to Canisius at Buffalo Feb. 2.
In its previous appeatances in the NCAA, Notte Dame has been unable to advance further than the quarter-finals.

MICHIGAN BASKETBALL SEASON RESUME
Michigan State's basketball squad truly has been a cinderella outfit this season, wrapping up a share of the Big Ten championship with an amazing comeback after a most dismal start in the league race.
Coach Forddy Anderson's team, though hardly considered first-division timber in pre-season league calculations, played well early in the year. The Spartans placed third in the tough Big Seven holiday tournament and entered 1957 with a 4-3 mark.
But in January, the bottom seemed to fall out of the club. State lost its first three conference games, to Purdue and Michigan by one-point margins, and to Ohio State by 19 points, along with a non-league loss to Notre Dame.
Right then and there, the team did a complete about face. With starters Larry Hedden, George Ferguson, John Green, Jack Quiggle and Pat Wilson leading the way and key bench men Bob Anderegg, Dave Scott and Chuck Bencie providing excellent support, the Spartans came back on to knock off ten straight Big Ten opponents.
That a red-hot Michigan team beat State in its finale to force the title tie with Indiana did not deter from the 14-8 season record, best for State since 1941-42, and from the 10-4 Big Ten mark, the best since MSU started conference cage competition in 1950-51.
