John's of Brooklyn, 8.3 to 72. Anderson is counting on his team's superb condition to prevail. Both the Braves and Beavers are essentially running teams. Both have a bevy of good basket marksmen. If CCNY can be run into the hardwood, Bradley, speedy and sharp, is perhaps the club to do it.

But so far the Beavers have shown no inclination to fade. In every tourney game they've finished faster than they started. THE JOUST COULD develop into an individual duel between the invitation's two outstanding performers Bradley's little Gene Mel-ebiofre and CCNY's negro sdpho-more sensation, Ed Warner. Belchiorre, a. clever floor man and deadly shot, has been Bradley's best man while Paul Unruh, the team's six-foot-four All-America, hasnl come through as anticipated.

Unruh can redeem himself Saturday night because he has been assigned the job of guarding Warner, a heroic figure in the three CCNY triumphs. Warner scored 26 in each game against San Francisco and Xentucky and 19 against Duquesne. Not regarded high enough during the season to rate a first team berth on the all-New York team, the City College forward has been every inch an All-America this week.
