THE· CARDINAL
VOL. XXVII, NO. 23 UNIVERSIT1~ OF LOUISVILLE, LOUISVU.LE 8, KENTUCKY Thursday, April 5, 1956
IT Crown Is Ours
HERO HICKMAN is carried off the floor following the Cardinals' 93--80 championship
victory over Dayton in the N.I.T. final. At left is Charlie Tyra, who scored
27 points in the game and was voted lhe tournament's most valuablte player. Just
after this shot was taken, the players threw Hickman and Dromo in 1the showers-clothes
alld aiJ-to cool them off a bit.
BACK HOME AGAIN ... the team arrived at Standiford Field Sumllay afternoon.
That's Charlie Tyra, our tournament's Most Valuable Player, saying a few words
into the niike for those people not lucky enough to get in to the airfiield. So many
Louisvillians turned out for the welcome home that almost two tho~and had to
be turned away. Following the ceremony at the field, the team was escorted back
to sc~ool by a fire engine and an autocade for a reeeption in tbe gym.
Teamwork And Skill Pay Off
In The ~Cardinals' Finest .Hour
We did i't! In an exhibition of basketball teamwork and deadly smoothne
the U of L Cardinals laid low three opponent to take the National lnYitational
Crown.
From the opening minutes of the first game the Oards served notice that they
weren't to be trifled with. Playing with a determination and a cool headed effectiveness
that diconcerted their opponents, the Cardinals finished off Duquesne, St.
Joseph's and Dayton by 12, 10 and 13 point margins respecbvely.
T-wo things stood out in the Cardinals climb to the championship, two things
which may h~ve made all the difference in the world. One, rtihe Cards weren't going
to make the mistake that had cost so dearly in previous tournament appearances.
The sloppy and haphazard style of play that had often characterized the fast
breaking Cardinals was put under control.
'Jlhe second of the major differences this year was the ability to stand up
under pressure. When they needed it the Cards had that little something extra to
ward off an opponent's rally.
And the team the press forgot at the beginning of the tournament came on to
show tlhem all. With a show of grit, determination and just plain basketball
excellence that had coaches, spectators and sports writers staring, the Cardinals
proved tlhat qui·te often the best team does win.

GOING DOWN ... Bill Darragh (17) goes in for a 4-point landing during the first
half of the final game. He had just blocked a shot by Dayton's Jim Palmer (31)
before falling to the floor. The Cards whipped Duquesne and St. Joseph's in the
earlier tournament games.
