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.
CAMPY DID IT AGAIN Roy CampaneTJa, Brooklyn Dodg
er's ace backstop, beams his happiness after being named
the National League's Most Valuable Player for the third
time. On his Brooklyn store wall behind him are his two
previous plaques, earned in 1951 and 1953. The burly
catcher just did edge out teammate Duke Snider.
Willamette Tops
Whittier Quint
Salem (U.R) Whittier Col
lege of California suffered its
second straight road defeat in
Oregon last night, this time at
the hands of Willamette, 68-58.
Whittier lost to Southern Ore
gon Wednesday night, 68-66.
Pete Read of Willamette paced
the victory by scoring 27 points,
13 of them on free throws. Stan
Hubert of Whittier hit 18 points.
Saddler Will Defend
Featherweight Crown
San Francisco (U.R) World
featherweight champion Sandy
Saddler has signed to defend his
crown against Flash Elorde,
champion of the Orient, in the
San Francisco Cow Palace Jan.
18, according to promoter Ben
nie Ford.
Elorde whipped the champion
in Manila earlier this year in a
wild 10-round non-title bout.
RELEASE FIRST f
Pittsburgh (U.R). Art Roo
ney, owner of the Pittsburgh
Steelers, today refused to dicker
with, former Pitt star Henry
Ford until he gains his release
from the Toronto Argonauts.
Ford already has expressed a
desire to play with the Steelers
next season.
