Comments:
At this time in NCAA Basketball History both The NIT and NCAA Tourneys carried Equal weight. The Red Cross Benefit Game was contested for three years matching the winner of The NCAA against The Winner of The NIT. This is a very rare film of one of those games. The results were that The NCAA team won all three games and went a long way towards determining that The NCAA was the superior tourney. Utah 43 St Johns 36
