from last season's starting five,
led the Wildcats with 27 points.

poor job of substituting in the
first half," wasn't too pleased
with Kentucky's debut.
"We didn t play nearly as well
as we are capable of," said the
baron. "Our defensive work was
bad and our offense wasn't too
solid."
Robertson, the nation's leading
major college scorer last season
with a 35.1-poinl average, helped
Cincinnati run up an ll-l lead in
I he first, six minutes against In
diana S'lulo. The Bearcats held a
45-31 .advantage at halftimc and
led by 30 points throughout most
of the second half.
Purdue outseored Kansas State
from the field, 31-27, but was un
able to halt Boozer, who dropped'
in 11, 'baskets and 23 of 26 free
Ihrows. The entire Wildcat team
was deadly from the free throw
line, converting 42 of 56 attempts.
West Virginia also won its open
er on charity shots, dunking in 22
of 32 while Furman converted 13
of 23, ' The Mountaineers trailed
65-00 with three minutes remain

Pro Football Owners Ready
To Sigh Draft Selections
By RUSS GREEN
PHILADELPHIA (UPD Na
tional Football League owners,
after giving Commissioner Bert
Boll a vote of confidence, today
set about the business of signing
their first draft choices for the
1959 season.
Bell, aroused by what he
termed the "internal bickerings
squawkings and squabblings by
coaches and owners" said Monday
the league could have back his
contract unless he was iven a
free hand to run it.
"1 don't want to be ' a 1 czar,"
Bell told the owners in un execu
tive meeting after the four rounds
of college selections were com
pleted; "But if 1 can't have a free
hand to run it (the leuguc) you
run it."
"I would prefer to run things
by persuasion, us 1 have Ihe past
13 years. If it doesn't work that
way. I will have lo run this by
the book, and if I can't run the
league the way the books say, I
will give up my contract," Bell
said.
Bell, commissioner since 1940,
noted that there have been "some
remarks, including thai I am a
slooge for some of Ihe owners.
There have been some squawks
against decisions I made."
Bell, in his criticism of the
bickerings, said of the league that
"I couldn't run it any other way
I couldn't change. Now if I can'l
go along us I have, I'm ready lo
step out."
However, Ihe owners, who re
warded Bell wllh a. 12-year con
tract in 1954 at a $40,000 annual
salary plus a $10,000 yearly pen
sion, met immediately afterward
and gave the commissioner a vote
of confidence.
