Offensive Minded
Kentucky, defending NC A A
champs, will be favored to defeat
the Lions. Kentucky finished the
season with a brilliant 28-2 rec
ord. Coach Ehner Gross' squad
had a 20-4 mark, best in State
history.
The teams will present a con
trast in styles of basketball. Ken
tucky has long been one of the
most offensive-minded quintets in
the nation, while the Lions are
noted for their zone defense. The
Wildcats averaged 83.2 points a
game to lead the country offens
ively this year. The Nittanies av
eraged 66 points per game, while
allowing an average of 55.
Kentucky is coached by one
of the most colorful men in col
legiate ranks—Adolph Rupp. The
"Baron" or "Colonel," as he is
known throughout the Grassland
state, has headed Kentucky for 22
years. During his reign the Wild
cats have become a feared name
on the hardwood.
Nation's Best
Until this campaign, Rup p
coached Kentucky teams had won
85.3 per cent of their games. Last
year's 76-74 NCAA triumph over
Illinois was the Wildcat's third in
the last four years. They are the
only team to ever win that many
NCAA crowns. The Wildcats have
also won the Southeastern Con
ference championship the last ten
years, and been selected as the
country's top quintet three of the
past four years.
This year the Wildcats have
their best squad since the fabu
lous days of Groza, Beard, Jones,
etc. Top man in their great of
fense has been Cliff Hagan, six
four center. He garnered 650
points for an average of 21.7 a
game. He also led the team in
rebounding.
Next in scoring is Frank Ram
sey, six-three guard. The junior
All-America candidate sank 484
markers for an average of 16 per
contest. Captain Bobby Watson,

NEW YORK, March 19—(R)--
For the first time on record we'll
have to wait the outcome of the
NCAA tournament to find out
who is the top individual scorer
among the nation's major college
basketball teams.
Kansas' towering All-America
hook-shot artist, Clyde Lovellette,
is the present leader but statis
ticians aren't conceding him the
title until after the playoffs, be
ginning. Friday night.
In 24 games the six-foot-nine
senior from Terre Haute, Ind.; has
scored 654 points for an average
of 27.3 a game. The se ori n,g
championship is based on aver=
age rather than overall total.
So the National Collegiate Ath
letic Bureau, which keeps its slide
rule tuned to such matters, has
figured out these possibilities in
the NCAA tournament opening
on four regional fronts:
1. If Kansas plays only two
games, the minimum, Loyellette
can clinch the chainpionships by
scoring a total of 23 points, which
seems a cinch for such a deadly
basket' sniper.

'four-game limit, Lovellette must

Maloney,The Cadets, • under Coach Tom
M will fly six men to the
NCAA championships. The Cadets
should make a real fight of it in
the rope climb and the flying
rings where they took both titles
in the Easterns. -
In the rope-climb, the N e
Yorkers will enter John Ballan
tyne and John Claybrook. These
two men tied for first in the EIGA
tournament, climbing the distance
in' a swift 3.6 seconds. Against
State, these two also tied for first
with a winning time of 3.8.
Kleberg on Rings
In the flying rings, - Maloney
will' count on Jack Kleberg. Kle

Jim Miles, Florida State, who was
NCAA flying rings title holder
last year.

specialty, the horizontal bar, while
Scholl' will perform for the Owls
in rope-climbing.
