Wide-Open Hoop Race Seen
For Southeastern Conference
ftiLAiWA turn There'sthree returning starters at
one startling chanee on thelfoet.7 op hptlpr nnft lnlc
souuieasiern Basketball scene
this season; Mississippi State
which won three straight SEC
titles, may have a fight on its
hands even to break even.
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.
Tennessee Coach Ray Mears,
a fiery competitor, is well again
and can be expected to instill
some of his drive into the tall
and talented Vols who have

Vanderbilt, 16-7 last year, has

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.

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.

SEATTLE (UPI) Washing-'

in Saturday's forthcoming big

cause a few grey hairs to sprout
in (he heads of loyal Kusfui

Besides being tabbed the fa-
voritc, there also is talk about
Washington going to Hie Hose
Bowl.
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.
