Proceeds Will Be Turned Over to Players of Pro Squad BLACKHAWKS GARY INGOTS iates Somiak Rader Shimala men Klein Hassett Kramer Grenert Jacobs Quad-city sports fans will have -a chance tonight to show the Blackhawk pro cagers their answer to the oft-repeated query: Do the quad-cities want professional basketball? At 8:30 o'clock Coach Nat Hickey's charges tangle with the Gary, Ingots, one of the nation's top independent clubs, in an exhibition contest. All proceeds from the game will go into a players' pool to be divided by the hoopsters by a vote among themselves.

In the 7 p. m. prelim, Reynolds Engineering of Rock Island and the Quad-City Elites, fastest amateur combinations in the area, will offer the spectators one of the best-matched curtain-raisers sched-ed this season. General Manager Leo F. Ferris of the Blackhawks front office said this morning that Coach Nat Hickey will "go through his complete bag of court tricks" to pro-1 vide plenty of laughs during the game.

Hickey, on the other hand, insisted that he would be "playing to win, since the Ingots are a tough and experienced pro five." Those who know the aggressive Irish mentor best, however, insist that an appeal from the crowd will induce him to perform. An inspection of the Gary roster shows that Hickey knows his opponents: they're a very fast quintet, led in scoring by Jim Jacobs, former Valparaiso university star, and Dick Klein, Northwestern graduate, and Mike Somiak, a Michigan alumnus.

Oshkosh has three remaining games, while the Kautskys, who trail by a game and a half, have only two, one of which matches them against the rugged Anderson Packer team at Anderson, Ind.

In other games last night, the Rochester Royals downed the Syracuse Nationals, 60 to 54, and Anderson swamped the Detroit Gems, 72 to 51. Rochester's Al Cervi scored 27 points as the first place Royals toppled Syracuse into fifth place in the eastern division.

The exception will be at Moline where both semi-final games will be played Thursday and the finals Friday.

Faulty Timing Device Helps Bradley Quint Score 57-56 Triumph PEORIA, 111.

(AP) A "faulty timing device had a hand in helping Bradley university defeat the hard-fighting ball-hawking Colorado College Tigers 57-56 last night. With 90 seconds showing on the clock to go, and Colorado college maintaining a 56-54 lead, the hands of the timepiece stuck. The official timer, Dr. Harold Gorseline, professor in Bradley's psychology department, said he was watching the floor to tab the time-out periods and did not notice the clock had stopped. Some observers said the clock was dead for nearly a minute during which play continued.

It finally started again and the 90 seconds remaining on its dial were played out. Thus the game, according to estimates, lasted at least a minute too long. If the clock had continued to run, Colorado college, which had led from the start, undoubtedly would have won. In the last 40 seconds Ray Ramsey of Bradley dropped in a corner shot to give the Braves their 57-56 victory. ley (25-5).

Utah (16-5), St. John's of Brooklyn (15-6) and Long Island (16-4), emerged the winner. The last two were named to the meet yesterday. Chicago Charles Baxter, 137'j, Cincinnati, outpointed Baby Breese, 137' Milwaukee (8). for 1947 At Rockford Hay 4 6 8 Jun.

(UP) A West Virginia team that scored almost three points a minute ruled as favorite today in the wild scramble for the ninth annual Intercollegiate basketball championship. But with 24 teams still in the running, spectators who saw yesterday's opening eight games were convinced that anything could happen.

They cited the case of Nate De-Long and his River Falls, Teachers college team. DeLong scored 56 points yesterday and his teammates scored 24' to come within three points of the all-time team scoring record for a single game. But they lost 113-80. They were eliminated by Marshall college of Huntington, V. which scored almost three points a minute to set a new team tourney record for a single game.

The defending champion, Southern Illinois Normal of Car-bondale, also was knocked out in the first half of the first round. The Illinois five lost to Dakota Wesleyan of Mitchell, S. 44 to 39. Mitchell came from behind with a second half rally. Texas Wesleyan smothered Lin-field college 84 to 50 and Emporia State (Kan.) Teachers defeated Lawrence Tech of Detroit 78 to 54.

The other games were more evenly matched. DeLong broke the individual scoring record for a single game with 22 field goals and 12 free throws. Bill Hall got 34 of Marshall college's 113 points to take runner-up honors. Both records that tumbled were set in 1942. Indiana State of Terre Haute held the old team record of 83 points and Pete Fogo of George Fepper- the individual record with 38.

Wisconsin's other entrant Beloit will open the second half of the first round today in a game with the Arkansas State Teachers from Jones-boro. It will be their fourth meeting this year, Beloit has won two out of three and was favored to win today. In other games yesterday Man-kato (Minn.)

Hank Epp tallied 26 points for Man-kato, but was outscored by Merlin Marty of Loras who garnered 31.
