Oscar Itobertsoii, the University
of Cincinnati's two-time Ail-American,
and Ohio State's Jerry Lucas
will command most of the atten
tion lonight when the 1958-59 col
lene basketball season opens with
a bucket-full of interesting games.
Koberison. who has averaged
33 8 poi"ls a game in winning the
national scoring title the past u0
years, will lean Cincinnati against
Indiana State on the Bearcats
home hardwood, while Lucas will
make his long awaited varsity de
but against Wake Forest at Co
lumbus. Ohio.
Cincinnati won 26 of 29 games
last season before bowing to Cali
fornia, me eventual cnampion, in
the semifinals cf the NCAA tour
nament. So the Bearcats shouldn't
have any trouble in their opener
against Indiana State.
Lucas has received more ad
vance publicity than any other
player in history and already is
being tabbed as Hobertson's chief
rival for scoring honors this sea
sol. As a freshman last season
the 6-9 center from Middletown,
Ohio, appeared in two full scrim
mages against the Ohio State var
sity, tossing in 47 and 45 points.
And the frosh won both gameW
