Four players who were start ers on State's championship teams of 1961-62-63 are gone and only a couple of regulars return. This, coupled with the moan ing of Kentucky's Adolph Rupp who insists he won't be fielding a champion this winter, adds up to the refreshing promise of a wide-open race in the South eastern Conference and some new faces at the top. However, it's not wise to dis count Kentucky. Rupp is fa mous for singing the blues and he's got some pretty fair talent on hand, including Cotton Nash, the '61-62 scoring leader, who will be a senior this time. With the likes of Nash, Ted Deeken and Charlie Ishmael back, Ken tucky looks plenty strong from here. But those who believe Rupp's wailing, say the 1964 SEC race will be a four-team free-for-all between Auburn, Georgia Tech Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Three Starters Return Auburn, 18-4 a ye"ar ago, gets back three starters and a host of sky - scraper r e s e r v e s, All - Conference center Layton Johns is gone but there arc three men on hand who are 6 feet-7 or better. Georgia Tech, which finished second in the SEC last winter while posting an over-all 21 - 5 mark, is hinging its hopes for: another fine season on the aca demic eligibility of 6-fcet-7 hold out Jimmy Tumlin. The three clutch - playing sophomores who starred last year arc improved juniors and one, Jim Caldwell, has grown to 6-feet-10.

They 6- oi depth. Vanderbilt, 16-7 last year, has 6-feet-7 Bob Grace and steady 6-feet-3 Roger Schurie back. Coach Roy Skinner disagrees with those who call the Vols a contender, insisting they are still a year away. In a year of better balance, there arc several other teams which could move into conten tion. Florida has a fine guard duo in Brooks Henderson and Tom Baxley and might be tough if its newcomers develop rapidly. Has One Senior Alabama was 14-11 last year with only one senior on the squad. And Tulane, led by SEC rebounding champ Bob David son a 6-fect-7 senior, appears improved despite the loss of Jim Kerwin who won the scor- ing title last year with a 23 point average. This leaves only Georgia, Louisiana State, Mississippi and Mississippi State among the teams written off for this season. Mississippi State lost Joe Dan- Gold, Leland Mitchell and Red Stroud, all of whom made the All-Conference team at one time or another during their three- year span, and alternate center Bobby Shows. Stale Coach Babe McCarthy who seldom concedes anything insists he d settle for a .500 re cord this year. However, Babe is already talking about his new freshmen just as he was about the just - departed four some in 1960 when the Bulldogs were only 12-13. That was the year after All - American Baily Howell led them to a 24-1 re cord. ; , Rupp talks about Maybe hot even having a winning season But no one takes that kind of talk serious from the Baron of the Bluegrass who has won the SEC title 20 times in 31 years and whose 16-9 mark last year was his worst ever. LONGINES SYMPHONETTE 12" long-Play Record. Only . . . 50C CHOICE oo 1964 i v v u mm ii i FIELD'S Ph. 672-1606 week are repeaters Mis- sissippi in tctal defense and de fense against scoring, Texas Western in pass defense and Southern Methodist in punting This is the fourth straight week that the rushing lead has changed hands between Missis sippi and Michigan State. If the pattern continues, Mississippi will be on top again next week, after which both teams will have played their final games. The Rebels also show up in punting (third) and pass de fense (fourth), making them the all-around defense leader, Memphis State, third in total defense, but not among the top ten in pass defense, is (lie lead er in one pass defense cate gory. The Tigers have had only one touchdown pass thrown against them, making them the only team in the country whose, goal line has been crossed by a pass receiver less than twice Buffalo is the leader in pass Interceptions with 21, followed by Navy and Texas, each with 18.. Syracuse has been most passed against (217), but fol lowers of Princeton find it dif ficult to believe all they read about the increased use of the pass this year. The Tigers arc not only ninth in pass defense, having allowed 71.5 yards per game, they have thrown lewer passes than any other major team (68), for 57 passing yardsi per game. Those who have been wonder ing why Miami, Florida, passer George Mira is so far from the individual passing leader, can get an answer from the sched ule. Last week, Mira tried his artistry against North Carolina, ranked seventh in pass defense. This week he goes against eighth-ranked Florida. Army is the team leader in punt returns with an 18.1 aver erage, while Cornell, paced by individual front runner Gary Wood, is also on top in team kickoff returns with a 28.4 average for 30 runbacks. Bruce Kidd Seeking Cross Country Crown NEW YORK (UPI) Bruce Kidd, a long-distance running sensation when just a teen-ager, will try to prove he hasn't passed his peak at 20 when he takes part in the National AAU cross-country championships tin Nov. 30. Kidd, of Toronto, burst on the international scene in spectacu lar fashion three years ago with1 i a string of victories in import- ant long distance events , a sport usually dominated by older run ners. The current long-distance champion of Canada won the American crown in Louisville, Ky., in 1961, and will be seeking to make it two-for-two at New York's Van Cortlandt Park. The event will be run over a 10,000 metcr course (6',4 miles), and will mark the first time the cross-country championship has been held in New York in over 25 years.

The lust time the Huskies were luvorcd uy two loucu- downs and there was talk about Rose Bowl trips, the opponent was UCLA. There was a two - touchdown margin in that game' but only a person with a satlis- tic sense of humor would dwell wrtber on what happened when! the Huskies took the field against the Bruins.
