"post-men," lead the KUHS Pell
cans as they prepare their 1856

Turn On Point Spree
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Almost everywhere you look In
college basketball the accent Is on
offense and more offense. At that
rate it probably won't be long be
fore 200-polnt games will be the
rule rather than the exception.
Take, for example, some of last
night's games.
Richmond and Furman pumped
222 points through the basket with
Richmond winding up on the long
end of a 130-92 score.
West Virginia came mighty close
to the 100 mark. in trampling Wash
ington and Lee 98-84.
North Carolina walloped Louisi
ana State 95-69. The Tarheels al
most certainly would have gone
over 100 If they hadn't played sub
stitutes a good part of the way.
In other games, DePaul crushed
Illinois Normal 102-77. Vanderbllt
downed William and Mary 89-80 in
double overtime. Virginia defeated
South Carolina 84-83. Carnegie
Tech beat Penn State 69-62. Boston
University defeated Northeastern
73-59 and Stanford nipped St.

This Friday and Saturday at
Grants Pass, Peterson's hoopsters
will all have to be ready and wait
ing, as Ray Davis' Cavemen are
seeking to knock the locals out of
the conference race with an
early - season double win. The
Grants Pass quintet took three
straight beatings in the season
opening jamboree held here early
In December, but since that time
have picked up polish and a thun
dering scoring punch.
In their last two outings, Grants
Pass split with Portland prep
clubs, winning 60-52 from Cleve
land, then falling to Franklin 57
49. Cleveland in turn whipped
Medford in the second night of
the Portland - Southern Oregon
doubleheader basketball program
by a 55-52 margin.
All America Darrell Floyd, the
nation's top scorer last season,
tossed in 40 points for Furman.
West Virginia racked up its
fourth victory in five conference
starts as Hot Rod Hundley scored
29 points.
North Carolina, the only one of
the nation's top 10 teams to see
action, shot into a 15-0 lead in the
first four minutes and substituted
freely thereafter.
With six minutes of regular play
left, Vanderbllt was down seven
points. Then Bobby Thyn and Al
Rochelle combined to knot the
count 69-69 and send the game into
overtime. In the second extra ses
sion, Vanderbllt scored 10 straight
points.
Bob McCarty pitched In three
free throws In the last two minutes
to break an 81-81 deadlock and
give Virginia its Atlantic Coast
Conference triumph.
Carnegie Tech rallied for U
straight points midway in the sec
ond half to break a six-game losing
streak, ' ,
column
of
"Famous Last
Words.":
Jesse Hill, Southern Cal foot
ball coach, started things in Jan
uary with this remark on his
team's Rose Bowl game with Ohio
State:
"We at USC are not ashamed of
our bowl record (9-2) and we're
tired of hearing so much about the
supremacy of the Big Ten. We'll
give the game the full treatment
. . . I predict we'll beat Ohio State
by 21-14." iFinal: Ohio State 20,
Southern Cal 7.)
Tennis took its toll, too. Billy
Talbert, Davis Cup tennis cap
tain, ventured: .
"I see no reason why the Davis
Cup shouldn't stay In the United
States for several years." (Aus
tralia did, though. The Aussies
blanked the U.S. team 5-0.)
Baseball boners included this
January prediction by Marty Ma
rion, Chicago White Sox pilot:
"I predict we'll win the Ameri
can League pennant. I see Cleve
land as our chief rival. Who'll we
meet In the World Series? Prob
nbly Milwaukee." (The Chlsox
wound up third as the New York
Yankees won the pennant and lost
the World Series to Brooklyn.)
And there was this bit of fistic
foolishness: Bobo Olson bragged
before his middleweight title bout
with Sugar Ray Robinson:
"I'm very confident. I don't
think he's nearly what he was. His
legs are gone and I'll be carrying
the fight to him. I figure to wear
him down." (Olson was knocked
out but good In Just two rounds.)
What's ahead for 1956? One
thing's pretty sure. There will still
be plenty of Limb-Bums around.
Playoff Set If
Star Game Tied
MOBILE. Ala. I Senior Bowl
officials Wednesday announced a
sudden death playoff is planned if
the North and South teams end
the reftulatlon playing time In a
deadlock In the seventh annual All
Star game Saturday.
The teams are tied at 3-3 in the
series. The South evened the count
last year with a 12-6 victory.
North Coach Buddy Parker and
South Coach Paul Brown agreed
to the change this year so that one
club can end the deadlock. It will
be patterned after the sudden death
playoffs used In pro championship
games. Other pro rules will also
be used.
Both coaches looked their 25
man squads over Tuesday and
came up with drastic position
changes aimed at winning.
Parker's most surprising move
r'as the shifting of Jim Brown.
UCLA All-America, form guard to
linebacker.
Brown built his defense around
Maryland's fine center. Bob Pel
legrini, whom be shifted to middle
guard.
Top Pel
Records
Davis is expected to have 6-5
Larry Henderson in the starting
Caveman unit at center, while
Jump-shot artist Chuck Nevl and
Allan Drews might draw the guard
assignments. Another threat the
Pels will have to contain In Ron
Davis who has been hitting double
figures for the past several
games.
For the Pels, Peterson is still
undecided as to who he will
have in his starting five this
weekend, but said there will be
some changes made. Moore and
Tichenor are almost sure bets to
start, but the other three posi
tions are wide open.
Mantle
Fits On
D. Kaiser
By HAL WOOD
Vnited Press Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (UP) Dave
Kaiser, a professional - appearing
young man who was a compara
tive nonentity on a star - studded
Michigan State football team until
Monday is wearing the mantle of
heroism well.
The six-loot, 200-pounder never
had made good on a' field goal
try In college football before he
kicked the 41-yarder that was, fig
uratively speaking, heard 'round
the world in the Rose Bowl.
Until Uial lime he was Just an
other man on the team a fellow
who was a quiet, studious appear
ing fellow who wore glasses when
on the street or studying.
Suddenly thrust into the spot
light, his name on the tongue of
millions, he still is a bit bewil
dered by it all.
"I guess I learned all I know
about kicking from Lou (The Toe)
Groza," he says. (Groza is the
field-goal kicking expert for the
Cleveland Browns.)
"He was at spring training when
I was at Notre Dame and he
taught me how to line up the ball
and center the tape between the
goal posts."
Kaiser was at Notre Daine as
a freshman. When Frank Leahy
resigned, Dave transferred to
Michigan State and had to sit out
one year.
How did he feel as he lined up
the kick that would spell victory
or a tie for Michigan State?
'I thought about the two I had
missed earlier in the year and the
fact that I hadn't been able to
practice on field goals lately due
to an injury.
"Then, Earl Morralt said to me
'Kick when you're ready, Dave,'
and I kicked. The first I knew
that it was good was when Buck
Nvstrom lumped on my back."
Couch Duffy- Dangherty, while
giving a lot of credit to his fine
backs and to the great line and
then to Kaiser, had to put in a
special word for Nystrom.
"I wouldn't trade Nystrom for
any guard in the country," said
Daugherty. "He was positively a
rock in this game."
It was revealed that Morroll
decided to use Kaiser for the field
goal attempt instead of Gerry
Planutis, who had missed two
easier chances earlier in the
game.
'I felt that Gerry wasn't get
ting his foot into the ball good."
said Morrall, "so I decided to try
Dave."
And that's how heroes are born!

Little Men
Take Over
Limelight
By OSCAR FRALEY
lulled Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UP) In a colle
giate basketball era where the
seven-footer is becoming almost
commonplace it seems slightly in
congruous today that more "little"
men are attaining real stardom
than at any time since the big
men took over.
The raves still go for such giants
as seven foot, two Inch Wilt (The
Silt) Chamberlain. And the major
ity of the big stars range from
six feet, six inches up.
But the "little" men those
under six feet are having a
field day this year.
Some of 'em might even be
classed as "real little." This
would Include five foot, six inch
Clark Rolles of Cornell; and five
foot, seven Inch Jim Booth of
Xavicr of Cincinnati.
But you almost must class as
small" men at five feet, nine
inches such as Bill Ridley of Illin
ois, Pachin Vicens of Kansas State
Chet Forte of Columbia and Terry
Tebbs of Brigham Young: such
5-10's as Robin Freeman of Ohio
State, Hal Petty of San Francisco,
Jack Kublszyn of Alabama and
Ed Harrison of Richmond.
5-11 STARS
And there seem to be a host of
such 5-11 stars as Mark Blnsteln
of Army and Eddie Petrie of Seton
Hall.
Nor, in the cases of any of those
mentioned above, are they simply
members of the squad. They re
varsity performers, first line play
ers and good ones.
Rolles, the midget from Cornell,
is an All-Ivy Leaguer with a spec
tacular jump shot. The 144-pound
Boothe was Xavler's second lead'
lng scorer last year.
Ridley, playing his third varsity
year at Illinois, Is the smallest
Illlnl basketeer of the modern era
and the team's second leading
scorer. Vicens sits In the same
scoring slot for Kansas State while
Tebbs Is merely Brigham Young's
leading scorer.
Forte, who scored 23 points In
one half against West Virginia,
was named the Orange Bowl tour
nament's most valuable player.
Kublszyn made good as a sopho
more despite his small size and
San Francisco hasn't lost a game
since Perry, made the varsity In
tne tnird game last year.
TOP SCORER
Harrison, a 150-pounder, 1 e d
Richmond s scorers last season
and is carrying right on. And
Freeman, in case you haven't no
ticed. Is only the leading scorer
In the entire nation.
How come, you may wonder?
The answer seems to be that high
school players are getting even
better coaching and most of the
lnterscholastlc competitors aren't
giants. The 12-foot lane also has
helped by moving the big man out
of the slot.
It all adds up to a great Incen
tive for the smaller lads and for
those of the midgets with hopes.
Coach Lou Rossini of Columbia
suggests:
"Learn to dribble, keep driving.
perfect an outside shot, keep on
your ties and never relax and
sharpen your desire."
Because, as they're proving this
season, the little men can make
good in basketball in a big way.

from San Juan, Puerto Rico, where
he has been on vacation.
He told Allen that In 45 years of
activity in the AAU as athlete and
committeeman and In 20 years on
Olympic committees "I have not
received a dollar directly or indi
rectly from either organization."
In reference to his military ca
reer, Henshel said he was award
ed a Bronze Star combat medal in
11)45 and earned five campaign
stars In the European theater of
operations from Normandy to Ger
hiany In 1944-45. He added that
previously he had served on the
U.S. administrative staff of the 21st
Army Group which planned the
attack on the European continent.
Allen referred to Henshel last
week in a Kansas City speech in
which he criticized the AAU for
suspending Wes Santee, America's
fastest mller and a University of
Kansas graduate. Santee was sus
pended on grounds he had accept
ed excessive expense allowances

NEW YORK fl Will Madison
Square Garden follow ancient St.
Nicholas Arena Into the dim. shad
ows as a fight club with no fights?
That was the question before the
house today as New York moved
closer to becoming a ghost state
for boxing with the loss of its only
regular weekly fight show.
The London 8portlng Club, which
ran 86 consecutive weekly tele
vised shows at St. Nick's, an.
nounced it was moving to BaltU
more, effective Jan. 23, because of
Inability to make matches in New
York. It reported bids from "20
other cities" but planned to run in
Baltimore for at least four or six
weeks.
The reason St. Nick's can't make
matches in New York is the recent
ruling by Julius Helfand, chairman
of the New York State Athletic
Commission, setting a Jan. 16
deadline for all managers to quit
tne Boxing Guild of New York.
'We are not Interested In the
guild or what trouble commission
ers have with guilds," said Tex
Sullivan, whose London Sporting
Club shows are seen on Du Mont
TV. "We Just cannot get fighters
to sign for bouts here after Jan.
16. When I talk to managers, they
tell me the fighters 'aren't ready'
or 'my guy's still bothered by cuts'
or something like that."
Madison Square Garden has a
show this Friday, but no more
until Feb. 3 while an ice show
takes over the arena. However, the
International Boxing Club, which
runs two weekly televised shows
(Wednesdays from various cities
and Fridays from New York) had
planned to operate from Syracuse
Friday, Jan. 20, with a heavy
weight thatch between Hurricane
Jackson and Bob Baker. The
match hasn't been made yet and
probably won t be made for Syra
cuse.
Jim Norrls, IBC president, was
due to return from Miami soon to
make a decision on future plans.
Harry Markson, IBO managing
director, pointed out that the pro
moters had dofinite TV contracts
to fulfill. He said there are "a
good dozen Frldav boxing dates"
In the Garden In February, March
and May under the current con
tract. -
L: Helfand wan tltie back -from
vacation In Florida. Pending his
return, officials of the commission
refused comment. He had banned
the guild after a long Inquiry, on
the grounds It was "detrimental to
the best Interests of boxing" for
Its "monopolistic" "shocking" and
"devious" practices,
