NEW YORK A bitter temwst

developed today in the wake ol
Wes Santee's lifetime suspension.

one of the top officials of the Mis

The Executive Committee found
Santee guilty of accepting about
$1,500 In excess of allowed ex

for life.
"The action was a slap in the
face to the Missouri Valley Sec

!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.

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.

"Koenigsdorf is a good AAU

By way of keeping Santee out of

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."

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.
