TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON- PAGE ELEVEN i Tempest Brewing AAU Men Blast NEW YORK A bitter temwst within the Amateur Athletic Union developed today in the wake ol Wes Santee's lifetime suspension. While the star American miler went about his duties as a Ma rine lieutenant in Quantico. Va.. one of the top officials of the Mis souri Valley Section of (he AAU accused the organization's Execu tive Committee of "bungling the case badly." The Executive Committee found Santee guilty of accepting about $1,500 In excess of allowed ex penses last year and barred him for life. "The action was a slap in the face to the Missouri Valley Sec tion," said Registration Commit tee Chairman Julius Koenigsdorf in Kansas City. "It also violated Kentucky Throttles anderbilt !By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Vvhen Col. Adolph Hupp of Ken tucky said he wanted that South-eastern Conference basketball title. J-.e wasn't Just a-whistlin' "Dixie." i Nooody ever has doubted Kupp's intentions on a basketball court and v.on to tell about it, but he put it in black and white last week when lie said he wasn't giving much thought to the approaching game with DePaul. DePaul, of course, h-n't in the SEC. j So it really wasn't much of a surprise when DePaul "upset" the Vildcats 81-79 last Saturday. The loss dumped Kentucky a notch to eighth in today's Associated Press poll, but Rupp shurgged it off. It was Alabama and Vanderbilt he . wanted. THREATENING ( 4 They were the clubs threatening ' his reign in the SEC. Kentucky has failed to take the SEC crown . only once since 1943 and that was , in 1953 when the Wildcats weren't in business because of NCAA sus pension. i Rupp got Vandy last night, by a whomping 21-point margin, 76-55. Vandy, ranked No. 5 in the nation, previously had stunned the Wild cats by eight points. Now the Com modores are virtually out of the SEC race at 10-2 and the only club ahead of Kentucky (10-1) is 'Bama, ranked seventh and now 10-0 after beating LSU 77-59 last night. Kentucky, which zoomed away from Vandy 30-11 in 10 minutes and rode in on Bob Burrow's 34 points, gets its lone crack of the season at 'Bama Saturday. A victory would give the Wildcats a cinch cotitle and an NCAA berth since .i'Bama's first five players are four year men and ineligible for the ' national tournament, KICKED UP While Kentucky kicked up its heels last night. Illinois proved its .new No. 2 national ranking no fluke by pasting Purdue 102-77 to remain unbeaten atop the Big Ten race. Iowa, ranked No. 13, stayed right behind the Mini by slipping past Indiana 87-83 for a 9-1 mark. , Elsewhere among the ranked ' teams. Temple (No. 10) beat Leb anon Valley 72-68 for a 20-1 record; Houston (No. 14) clinched at least a. share of the Missouri Valley crown by defeating. Bradley 68-53; Oklahoma City (No. 18) kept its journey hopes alive by pasting Loyola (New Orleans) 93-78 for a 17-5 mark; and Iowa State (No. 20) "dropped out of a tie for the Big Seven lead in a 73-68 upset by Missouri. t Kansas state took sole possession of the Big Seven lead by trouncing Nebraska 73-50 while third-place .'Colorado fanned its hopes by beat ing Oklahoma 61-53. Questions Asked In Northwestern Grid Recruiting CHICAGO tm A ' star high -cnool quarterback has enrolled rut Northwestern and there's an inkling that the Wildcats' new ath- ' Oetic director,' Stu Holcomb, had isomethinff to do with it. North wes tern's new football fcoach, Ara Parseghian, told several hundred alumni at a Northwestern Sclub meeting recently about the quarterback. i "I am pleased to announce," he isaid, "that through hard work we 'have managed to induce one of the finest high school quarterbacks in , .the country to enroll at Northwest :ern. j "His old man was a hard nut jto crack and the boy almost got ;away to Notre Dame, which want ed him badly. i "The boys name is Stu Hoi jcomb Jr." J Young Holcomb was an out standing player at west Laiayeue, lnd.t High School while his father was coaching at Purdue.

REVERSING He added that he thought Santee was correct in gomg to court in hopes of reversing the decision. The Missouri Valley Board of Gov ernors cleared Santee of charges of excessive expenses late last year only to have the case re opened by the parent body. A high-ranking AA Uofficlal hit back at Koenigsdorf. The official, who asked that bis name not be mentioned, told The Associated Press: "We could have brought Koenigs BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS JS, "T the Slwp' Jfe " . ' r Floyd Won't Make Grade Say Pro Basketball Scouts NEW YORK NEA) Every body had the same opinion of Dar ren Floyd, Furman's scoring wiz ard.' 'He won't make it in the pros and you can't compare him with Frank Selvy," was the re port of basketball men who have seen him In action. Floyd, at six feet and 170 pounds, resembles a heavy-middleweight. His shoulders are wide. He has a terrific touch with a oasketball, but his deficiencies are glaring. For example, he Is vulnerable when the other fellow has the ball. And on offense, his moves are too patented. His best shot is a jump thrown while on the move from either side across the keyhole. He tries to drive in from the right side or trom either corner. Sports Notes Smoky Burgess hit 20 homers for Cincinnati last season and tied Ernie Lombardi's record lor most homers ever hit by a Red leg catcher. Burgess also hit one home for the Phillies before he went to Cincinnati last season. Lennie Rosenbluth tied a North Carolina basketball record when he made 45 points against Clemson on January 14. The Tar Heel star tied the record set by George Glamack against Clemson In 1941. Racing at Wahington Park a' Homewood. Illinois, begins July 30 and ends September 3.

THE ORIGINAL DRY VODKA iJiO I V J Executive Group dorf up on charges too. He was either concealing information from us or he was derelict in his duty. He knew about Santee's expenses." AAU Secretary Treasurer Dan Ferris was calm, however. "Koenigsdorf is a good AAU man, and once he sees all the facts of the case, he'll agree with us." Ferris observed. By way of keeping Santee out of competition, Ferris sent a telegram to all meet promoters warning them they would lose their AAU sanction "forever" if they per mitted Santee to run. Ferris ad mitted he took the action "in case someone should obtain an injunc tion." DRAWN IP That is exactly what Santee and He is fast, running with the springy step of a track man warm ing up between events. His foul shooting and Jump shots have a soft touch to them and they com mand every break the rim can pi oduce. But Floyd's teammate of a cou ple of years back, Selvy, is rated the better player by far. Selvy (6-3t had more height, better moves. Here and there, Floyd shows sparkle he can change airection twice on one play, some thing lew pros can do. As a college shooter, however, he has few equals, Give him a step and he goes up and scores, "He would have a tough time making it up here," Sonny Hertz- berg, the Knickkerbockers' scout, said after watching Floyd get his normal 32 against New York Uni versity.

Appraised of Ferris' telegram to the meet promoters. Grimes said: 'It is characteristic of the AAU's arrogant attitude throughout the proceedings. I's a very interesting attempt by ' the AAU to commit contempt of court in advance." For his part Ferris was not particularly worried over Grimes' threat to bring the case to the courts. "We've never lost a court case where the question of our Jurisdic tion and power to enforce the rules and regulations were, attacked," he said. Official Says USF Above All SAN FRANCISCO (UP) It is very doubtful that University of San Francisco and Dayton Univer sity will get together lor a basket ball joust this season but take the word of a man who should know, USF would win. Coach Phil Woolpert of the Dons wasn't a bit irked when he heard that Ned Irish of Madison Square Garden said that Dayton would whip USF There s no way of knowing which 'team would win." said Woolpert. "But I Just received a letter from Ji'm Enright of Chicago wno oiuciated at our games In the Chicago Invitational. "Enright writes for a Chicago newspaper and he compared the USF team with the other top teams in the Mid-West, Including Dayton. MID-WEST "He said in the story that the Dons would whip every other team in the Mid-West six days a week and twice on Sundays." Irish's contention that the USF club has a lot of "weak spots" in the schedule is true but name a basketball slatein the country that doesn't have a few weak spots. "Competition in the California Basketball Association isn't quite up to par thl3 year," Woolpert admits. "But our over-all schedule. I think, is just about aa represent ative as any in the country." The records bear out Phil's contention. TOP OPPOSITION ' While running up 46 consecutive victories, including triumphs in the Oklahoma City All-College Invita tional, the NCAA championships, the Chicago Invitational and the New York Holiday Festival, the Dons have met most of the top clubs in the nation. Their list of triumphs over the two - year span includes UCLA (three times); LaSalle (twice), Oregon State (twice), Southern California, Oklahoma City, Utah, California (twice), Marquette', George Washington, Duquesne, Holy Cross, Wichita, Loyola of New Orleans, West Texas State and Colorado. This is a pretty fair cross section of basketball as played In the United Statts. taking in all cor ners except' the Southeast. "I'd like to meet Dayton later. If It could be arranged." said Woolpert. "But they arc going to the NIT. and we are headed for the NCAA, so there doesn't appear to be much chance." THEY WANT REICHOW DETROIT (A Iowa's Jerry Reichow is one of the few col lege players to sign a professional football contract before being drafted by a National Football League team. The Detroit Lions, anxious to bolster their quarterback slot, signed Reichow and then made him their first draft choice at the NFL meetings in Los Angeles. 00 ACETYLENE - GLOVES Moore Captures Ring Win SAN FRANCISCO (UP) World Light Heavyweight Champion Archie Moore, back in business again alter a five-month layoff, planned to fight again next Mon day nieht despite Londou pro moter Jack Solomons' demands to the contrary. "Jack Solomons sure is full ot propositions, isn't he?" Moore asked last night shortly after he nammered out a lop-sized 10-round decision over Howard King in a non-title bout here. "I have to have a lot of fights to get back into shape." Solomons announced In London yesterday that he would allow blubbery Archie to postpone a world championship bout there against Yolande Pompey from March 13 to June 5 providing Moore agreed to a list of pro visions. These included that Moore not box anybody anywhere else before the Pompey bout, put up a guar antee of S14.000 Hint he would appear, and arrive in England four or five weeks before the freht. The ancient monarch of the light heavy - weight only remarked "He must think I'm made of money," when told of the S14.000 guarantee. At the same. time, tiowever, Moore said. "I will not let the Pompey fight cool off. But I may have to revise the entire set of British boxing rules." Despite Solomons' ban against Archie fighting anybody else be fore Pompey, Moore said he plans to box Bob Dunlap In San Diego next Monday. Moore has expressed fear that he might be "robbed" of his crown in the same way that Kid Gavilan lost a disputed decision to Peter Waterman there two weeks ago. The referee is the sole Judge in British boxing. However, there was no doubt about last night's fight with Reno's Howard King. Archie knocked him down in the first and ninth rounds and draped him over the middle strand in the seventh round while crunching out ft unanimous deel' sion over the distressed boxer. TWO WHITES NEW ORLEANS W Things may get a big confusing in the South ern Assn. next season when Nash ville and Mobile meet.
