Quint Trips
Kentuclcians
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press International
Unranked Vanderbilt and
an unsung but hot-shooting
little Hoosier proved to be
the undoing of previously un
beaten Kentucky.
It all happened at Nashville,
Tenn., Tuesday night when
Vanderbilt handed top-ranked
Kentucky its first licking
in 12 starts this season, 75
66, for possibily the biggest
upset of the basketball cam
paign so far.
Jim Henry, a New Albany,
Ind., native who barely
stretches six feet, was the man
chiefly responsible for Ken
tucky's first loss since last
Feb. 24.
Henry, whose chief hobby
is tropical fish, also collects
points and the 29 he came
up with Tuesday night were
enough to snap a Wildcat
winning streak which had ex
tended to 16 games over two
seasons.
Kentucky, last year's NCAA
champions, fell behind early,
stayed ice cold throughout the
first half and never was able
to catch up. The inspired
Commodores, who had won
five games and lost five until
Tuesday night, walked off the
floor with a 41-27 lead at half
time and then came back to
run up a 17-point lead in the
second half.
Held in check by a man-toman
defense, the Wildcats
rallied late in the second half
to cut Vandy's margin to six
points, 70-64, with three min
utes to go, but the Commo
dores never let them get any
closer.

the Hornets of Medford had

The Crusaders turned back
Butte Falls High 41 to 36 here
last night for their fourth vic

first loss in four league games
for the Loggers. ,
Second half rebounding and
shooting of Gary Miksche and
Dick Evans and scoring of
Bob Evans were instrumental
in the win. St. Mary's com
pletely dominated the rebound
play under the backboards in
the second half. Butte Falls,
with their tall man, Raymond
Abbott out of action because
of a turned ankle, neverthe
less held its i own under the
boards in the first half.
Loggers Threaten
The Crusaders assumed the
lead for.good in the first quar

the end of that period. Butte
Falls never came closer than
within three points after that
but was a threat throughout
the second period to overtake
the Medford club.

General Krulewitch, who

perhaps the most important
job in professional boxing;
for New York is the hub of

New York-(DPD-College bas
ketball is buried today in a
morass of clutching, grabbing
and stalling which . remains,
and will remain, only because
of the selfishness of the
coaches. "
Pro basketball sold itself
to the spectators by installing
a 24-second time limit on pos
session. But the colleges stub
bornly refuse to move out of
the roundball dark ages and
continue to play the same
slow-down game.
The answer is in the
coaches, their fears of defeat
and the inevitable retribution
of the alumni.
This becomes obvious when
you talk to a group of them.
They know all too well that
speed and height would be of
tremendous importance in a
relentless, crowd- pleasing
game where both teams were
forced to drive right up to
the final basket.
In the final analysis, they
are fearful that the margins
of defeat would often be tre
mendous and their jobs might
hang in the balance.
"Respectable" Defeat Margins
So they are all too content
to play the slow-down game
where the margins of defeat
will be "respectable" even
though it means a dull, list
less, stalling contest in the
late stages.
Ken Norton of Manhattan,
a member of the NCAA Rules
committee, once again is
stumping for the pro-type pos
session limit. He admits that
his efforts probably are doom
ed for the coaches voted 2 to
1 against the proposition in
a questionnaire sent out last
year.
"This is a dull, sloppy game
we are playing" he snorts. "It
is a desolate situation. Be
cause of the leading team's
stalling tactics there is no way
of getting back into a game
once you fall 10 points be
hind." Norton points, as evidence,
to a recent Bradley-Dartmouth
game in which there wasn't
a shot taken during 16 min
utes of the second half. He
also frets over such instances
as a recent game in Philadel
phia in which "it took about
a half hour to play the last
three minutes because of the
constant fouling."
Provide Weak Arguments
The coaches generally pro
vide weak and inane argu
ments for the opposition. The
time possession limit, they
contend, would force bad
shots ;stereotype play; encour
age the lack-lustre zone de
fense and, how silly can it
get, the clock would be too
expensive.
Lou Rossini of NYU hits the
nail squarely, however, when
he says:
"If we have a time rule,
the teams without height and

speed would be losing by 20
to 40 point spreads."
There is the basic reason
why the college coaches fight
the time limit. There would
be too great a difference be
tween the haves and the have-
nots. They know that, under
current rules, the haves are
willing to run up a 10-point
edge and then stall the rest
of the way. In this manner,
nobody gets hurt too badly.
College Basketball Hurt
There is a real hurt, how
ever and that's to college bas
ketball. Oklahoma State, under
Hank Iba, is famous-or in
famous, if you will-for its
dull, possession type play. It
is a formula which is so dull
that the Aggies no longer are
invited back to play in Madi
son Square Garden. The rea
son: They put the customers
to sleep.
College basketball, some
contend, has never been a big
ger draw than at present. The
answer is that it is the only
wheel in town. But criticism
of it has never been bigger,
either. The coaches are going
to have to admit it is bigger
than they, as individuals, or
they're going to kill the gold
en goose.

Los Angeles -(UPD- If Coach
Weeb Ewbank knows what's
good for him. he won't cet too
close to the sidelines when
the East tangles with the West
in the Pro All-Star football
game here on Sunday.
Sam Huff, the New YorW
Giants line-backer, hasn't for
gotten that Ewbank Dunched
him on the adams apple dur
ing the play-off game between
the Baltimore Colts and the
Giants in full view of the
70,000 fans and a few million
more on television.
"What gets me is that I
can't figure why Ewbank flew
m there to punch me, says
the still-burned Huff. "The
man I tackled, Ray Berry,
didn t think I was playing
dirty. Next thing I knew, Ew
bank was on top of me, so I
punched him back."
Adds Dessert
The possibility of this re
match between the 230-pound
Huff and the smallish Ewbank
adds a little in the wav of
dessert to what promises to
be one of the finer free-for-
alls in all-star records.
The report is that Norman
Van Brocklin. one-time Los
Angeles Ram quarterback, is
unhappy with his successor
here, Bill Wade. Van Brock
lin now is with the Philadel
phia Eagles and the two mav
be quarterbacking against
each other.
Then Gene Big Daddv LiDs-
comb is supposed to be mad
at the whole Los Angeles
team because it traded him -away.
It is doubtful that Huff.
Lipscomb and Van Brocklin
will carry their grudge onto
the field and it is very im
probable that there will be
any fisticuffs. But it should
result in a slam-bang game.
