If the committee. be"- lieVes that we can win thp title with - three men they are obviously inisinformed. Barring a minor miracle, it just won't work.

But they had to eat crow after Big Bob's sparkling scoring out put against Kentucky. Zawoluk, '.vho' just couldn't miss 'against the Wildcati, is probably -the shortest record holder in history.

Kentucky has a great ball team, make no mistake about it. Had the Wildcat's shooting been as good against St. John's as it was against Penn State, Rupp's boys would have been on their way to Seattle. The Wildcats move , like a well. oiled machine. Cliff 'Hagan is a true All- American. He's a team player and although he isn't flashy he always manages to hit the 20 mark. He's the type of player you don'f notice so much on the floor except when . you purpose ly. watch him—and then you know why he's 411-American: Future All-American prospect: Gayle Rose of Kentucky. A soph omore, he's a dead shot and moves like a bolt of lightning. Frank Ramsey is the - cog around which Kentucky's basketball ma chine revolves, and not Hagan.
