4 History of the National Collegiate Basketball Championship
The National Collegiate Basketball Championship (University Division), generally referred to as the NCAA Tournament, was inaugurated in 1939 as the result of a recommendation from the National Association of Basketball Coaches that a basketball tournament be held annually to determine an official national champion.
For the first time last year, two national champions were decided as the result of the tournament being separated into two divisionsthe University Division in which schools playing a major schedule compete and a College Division comprising smaller schools.
The established tournament, of which the Mideast Regional is a part, is now known officially as the National Collegiate Basketball Championship (University Division).
Under the pattern of the original tournament as revised in 1951 and later, the path leading to the national championshipwhich will be decided this year at Freedom Hall on the State
is a
Fairgrounds in Louisville March 21-22 rocky enough one to assure that the eventual national champion is truly a top flight basketball team worthy of the honor of heading the 450-member NCAA. The College Division, with a field of 32 teams, winds up with national finals at Evansville, Ind., March 12-14.
The University Division draws its participants from nearly 200 eligible schools, with 24 different teams competing. Sixteen champions of major conferences qualify automatically and "at large" berths go to eight other teams to round out the field. First round preliminaries took place at various sites March 11-13 with winners advancing to four regional tournamentsEast at Charlotte, N. C; Mideast at Lexington; Midwest at Lawrence, Kansas; and West at San Francisco. Regional winners go on to the national semi-finals and finals at Louisville.

REGIONAL CHAMPION
The Tournament Trail
For the second successive year, University of Kentucky's spacious Memorial Coliseum is the site of one of the four regional eliminations leading to the 1958 championship of the cage world.
Although the Kentucky Wildcats have long been one of the top basketball powers of the country and since 1950 has had one of the nation's finest cage facilities in its Coliseum, the only previous NCAA Tournament action to take place here was a first-round playoff in 1955 and the Midwest Regional last year.
The Mideast Regional being played here tonight draws its teams in two ways. Champions of the Southeastern Conference (Kentucky) and the Big Ten (Indiana) qualified automatically for berths under the NCAA's plan of recognizing 16 major conference champions. The two other teams advance to the Regional only after proving themselves in preliminary playoffs at the Northwestern fieldhouse in Evanston, III., last Tuesday.
Out of the Lexington Regional, one of four such tournaments going on simultaneously in different parts of the country, will come a regional champion who qualifies to advance to the semi-finals at Louisville's Freedom Hall next Friday, March 21. The Lexington survivor is paired against the East Regional winner for the Eastern Championship and the winner goes into a battle Saturday night for the National Championship.

INDIANA SEASON RESUME
Indiana's Hurryin Hoosiers climaxed an almost incredible uphill struggle by downing Michigan State at East Lansing 75-72 last Saturday to win the Big Ten Championship and a place in the National Collegiate Tournament field,
The Hoosiers, although defending co-champions of the conference, were virtually written off as contenders after dropping six of seven pre-conference games and sinking to sixth place in league standings. Emergence of standout guards Sam Gee and Bob Wilkinson and forwards Pete Obremskey, Jerry Thompson and Frank Radovich to go with All-American center Archie Dees, who won the Big Ten scoring championship for the second year in a row, got the Hoosiers off on a torrid stretch drive.
In the stretch, Indiana won seven of eight games, its last five in a row, and four of the seven victories came of foreign courts. The Hoosiers never held first place undisputed until season's end and didn't get over the .500 mark for the season until next to last game. Coach Branch McCracken, finishing at the top of the league for the fourth time in the last six seasons, sends his fourth Hoosier team into the Tournament with a brilliant Tournament record. In three tries, Indiana has won two National Collegiate titles, 1940 and 1953, and was taken out in 1954 on a one point loss.

NOTRE DAME SEASON RESUME
More or less, the present season was a winning one for Notre Dame just about all the way as they posted a 23-4 record and ranked eighth in the final AP rankings. After a disappointing early setback at the hands of Michigan State, the Fighting Irish swept to 18 victories in their last 20 regular season starts, including the last 10 in a row. Coach Johnny Jordan's men gained the regional playoffs without pressure as they showed great class in the face of overconfidence to down eligibility-weakened Tennessee Tech, 94-61, in a first round NCAA test at Evanston Tuesday night.
Against Big Ten competition, which they meet again as they encounter league champion Indiana in the first game of the Mideast Regional, Notre Dame shows five wins out of six. They took the measure of the Hoosiers, 89-74 in the finals of the Hoosier Classic at Indianapolis during the Christmas holidays.
Possibly the high spot of the season occurred as the Irish trimmed defending national champion North Carolina, 89-70, in a Chicago Stadium match on the same night Kentucky was upset by unheralded Loyola.
In the matter of individual point-getting, it was a continual story of Tom Hawkins; Co-Captain John McCarthy; and sometimes Co-Captain Bobby Devine. Hawkins posted a new Notre Dame one season total of 684 points while attaining high point man honors in 19 of Notre Dame's games and tying for the honor in two others. His best effort, point-wise, came against the Air Force Academy when he bucketed 43 points. Rather significant is the fact that the Irish have three men who have topped 1,000 points. In two seasons, Hawkins has 1,260, and for three years McCarthy has 1,062 and Devine 1,022.

KENTUCKY SEASON RESUME
It was a strange season, this cage year of 1957-58, that saw the perennially powerful Kentucky Wildcats of wily Adolph Rupp march to a record 19th title in their own Southeastern bailiwick and gain admission to the national title playoffs an unprecedented tenth time.
The final accounting of the bluegrass quintet's 54th year of basketball reads 19 wins and six defeatsKentucky's poorest showing in 15 years. And yet the highly-respected Wildcats are in the running again in quest of a fourth national collegiate championship, a goal out of the reach of any other team in the country.
Before the current campaign opened, the rarely-pessimistic Rupp freely predicted that his 1958 club "could" be an improvement over last year's unit that waltzed to the conference title and third place in the national rankings on a 23-5 record. But the nation's winning-est cage mentor added the sobering thought (later proven a remarkable insight) that the difficulty of the schedule might prevent the posting of a better won-lost record.
How good a prophet he was is illustrated by the Wildcats' showing this season. Long on experience but short on speed, the Ruppmen in the first 20 days of December tackled eight national powers and showed themselves worthy of high national ranking as they won over Duke, Ohio State, Temple, St. Louis and Minnesota. Setbacks, two of which were classed as upsets, were at the hands of Maryland, Southern Methodist and West Virginia.
Moving into the conference portion of their rugged schedule, Kentucky seemed headed for another clean sweep despite an obvious overall improvement in the calibre of competition. Then they ran into old nemesis Georgia Tech in late January. The Engineers pulled off an upset which seemed to encourage the Wildcats' remaining foes. With the word out that "Kentucky can be had," the competition became increasingly tough with the result that the title was not sewed up until the final game of the season.

MIAMI SEASON RESUME
Can the Redskins do it again?
Out of the unheralded category and stamped with the "Cinder-a I la team" tag following their surprising upset of mighty Pittsburgh, 82-77, at Evanston Tuesday night, Miami's Mid-American champions enter the NCAA regionals a dedicated team determined to down powerful Kentucky and continue their drive toward the national title.
Few of the so-called experts foresaw the Redskins' amazing triumph over a Pitt team blessed with All-America Don Hennon, but Coach Dick Shrider's charges turned the trick with tremendous team effort that cannot be minimized in figuring their chances to top the Wildcats.
Coach Shrider, in his first year as a college coach, has brought the team a long way since an opening loss to Purdue and Miami has never looked better than in its last seven games. Riding the crest of a seven-game winning streak, they won the Mid-American Conference title on a perfect, 12-0 record and achieved their first NCAA Tournament victory in four tries by beating Pittsburgh.
With a veteran studded team that includes high scoring Wayne Embry and playmaker Johnny Powell, Miami played the toughest schedule in the school's history to finish with a 17-7 regular season record. Concentrating on conference play, the Redskins made history by going undefeated in 12 conference tests and showed potential despite defeat in meetings with toughies like Cincinnati, Duquesne and Big Ten powers.
Prior to this year, the Redskins have been unable to get past the first round in NCAA play. Notre Dame eliminated them last year, in 1953 they lost to De Paul and in 1955 it was Marquette who topped them in a preliminary playoff at Lexington.
