Tulsa, Syracuse vie for NIT
United Press International
NEW YORK — Tulsa — happy
to be playing postseason basket
ball anywhere and Syracuse,
which isn’t sure it wants to be
there — will be competing
Wednesday night for the cham
pionship of the 44th National In
vitation Tournament.

At Northgate Across from the Post Office
ence guard Paul Pressey scored 11
of his team-high 20 points in the
final eight minutes Monday night
to lead unheralded Tulsa to an 89-
87 semifinal victory over West
Virginia and Dan Schayes scored
three points in the final 61 seconds
of the Madison Square Garden
nightcap to propel Syracuse past
Purdue 70-63 and set up an “odd
couple” matchup for the title.
Tulsa coach Nolan Richardson,
in his first year with the Golden
Hurricane after leading Western
Texas Junior College to a 37-0 re
cord and a No. 1 ranking, saw
Monday night’s victory as a re
ward for services rendered over
the years.
“As for myself, I was lucky
enough to land this job at Tulsa
and this is the whole ball of wax to
me,” said Richardson. ’T’ve paid
my dues and just want to be a good
coach and a good recruiter.”
Tulsa, 25-7, hadn’t been over
.500 since the 1974-75 season and
were picked by many to end its
season weeks ago. But the Golden
Hurricane’s swarming defense
allowed them to defeat three NIT
opponents and helped put an end
to a gritty West Virginia team’s
season.
Syracuse, 22-11, reeled off its
seventh straight victory after a
mediocre 15-11 regular-season re
cord.
The Mountaineers led virtually
the entire first half en route to a
44-40 advantage at intermission.
Mountaineers forward Greg
Nance scored 14 of his 22 points in
the opening half, when West Vir
ginia repeatedly beat Tulsa down-
court for easy layups off the fast
break.
Center Greg Stewart, a New
York native, added 19 points for
Tulsa and Mike Anderson chipped
in with 17 in the first meeting ever
between the two teams.
Tulsa stayed in the game over
the first 20 minutes on the
strength of their 24-19 rebounding
edge over a Mountaineers squad
that had been outrebounded only
six times the entire season.

NEW ORLEANS — Saints
owner John Mecom, with several
months to meditate on a 1-15 sea

head coach and a traumatic
shakeup in the front office, says
what he’d like most for his team is
respectability.

Mecom said confidence had to
be re-established among the play

team lost a cool $1 million last
year, a dismal showing he said can
be turned around with the help of
new coach Bum Phillips.

When Louis Goates graduated from Texas
A & M with a degree in economics/
business, he looked at 25 companies. He
chose JACK IN THE BOX.
“I’m exercising full use of my ad
ministrative and people management
skills. My staff and I are excited about
topping our sales goals.”
“I felt the fast food industry, as a whole
had a bright future, but frankly I was
concerned about image. When I saw
that JACK IN THE BOX stressed profes
sionalism throughout their organiza
tion, and I knew their salary and
benefits were excellent, my decision
was made.”
Did Louis Goates make the right decision?
“At 25, my salary level is well above
the average of other graduates with
similar backgrounds. The work is hard,
but my accomplishments make it all
worthwhile. I’m right on schedule ”
Today, Louis manages a JACK IN THE BOX
Restaurant and has helped increase sales
each quarter.
We're glad Louis chose us, and JACK IN
THE BOX would like to talk to you. Louis is
