" Medford and Ashland junior high varsities are prelim foes tonight and on Saturday Hed rick junior high ninth and the Ashland freshmen will meet in the 6:45 p.m. affair.- Kentuckians ing Poor Hoop Start By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The amazing evidence contin ued to pile up today that the Kentucky basketball team may have been badly over-rated. Loaded with height and high scoring veterans, this was sup posed to be one of the best teams turned out in recent years by Coach Adolph Rupp, the highly successful "Baron of the Blue grass." But a 62-61 victory over Maryland Thursday night, saved only by a desperate "freeze," was the Wildcats' third poor showing within six nights. First, last Saturday, it was Temple that stunned the court world by whipping the Wild cats, 73-61, in the biggest upset this season. On Monday night, DePaul nearly did the same thing, losing, 71-69, only on Jer ry Bird's basket for Kentucky with six seconds left. If there's something serious ly wrong with the Wildcats, they're in for plenty of trouble very quickly. They return home Saturday night to play host to Idaho, a visitor from the Pacific Coast conference, and then on Tuesday night they meet Min nesota in the opening round of the Kentucky Invitational tour ney, followed the next night by a clash with either Utah, the na tion's No. 2 team, or fifth-ranked Dayton. San Francisco Opens San Francisco, the nation's No. 1 team, opens its seven-game national tour tonight at Chicago, risking its 29-game winning streak against Marquette in the opening round of the DePaul tournament. It's the biggest test so far for the national champion Dons. for Marquette is ranked 13th na tionally and" has a topnotch six eight center in Terry Rand who figures to stage a tough battle with All-America, six-10 Bill Russel. Duquesne, ranked No. 8 nationally and winner of last season's National Invitation tournament and this year's Steel Bowl tourney, meets DePaul in the other game, with tonight's winners clashing Saturday. The Blu-Gray tournament at Montgomery, Ala., also a two night affair ending Saturday night opens tonight with Texas facing Auburn and Eastern Ken tucky playing Mississippi in first-round games.
