I ournamentsBy WHITNEY MARTIN'! NEW YORK, Feb. 1 may'be a question of which is the keener —the competition among the teams or the competition among the tour-inaments, but at any rate a college | basketball champion more or less ' nationally recognized will be crowned in three sectors this year.Possibly it was because the players I and the schedules were played out I about the same time, but whatever | the reason it wasn’t until recently; that post-season games became more ! or less common, and it was just two years ago that the seed of the first j national college tournament was sown in a rather impromptu meeting j at Kansas City.This year three major college 1 tournaments are planned as follows;1. The National Intercollegiate Basketball Championship Tourna-jment at Kansas City. Open to all ! accredited four-year colleges,2. The National Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament opento schools belonging to the N. C. A. A. Finals scheduled for Northwestern University at Evanston.3. The New York Sports Writers’ Tournament an invitation affairConsidered from the scope of entries the Kansas City tournamentwould seem the most representativeand consequently carry more prestige. The N. C. A. A, tournament naturally would develop only a N. C. A A champion, and the New York meet! although an attempt is made to have the best teams of the nation among the entries, would carry no weight Inasmuch as some teams not invited might be able to knock the socks off the chosen few.The three tournaments all offer fine competition among fine teams, I and as to which is the best it simply is a case of “yer pays yer money and yer takes yer choice,” as they say at the county fair.
