Wildcats Plan Basket Assault Against Aggies
Seattle, Wash., March 25 (U.P.)
Final workouts of the Kentucky
Wildcats and the Oklahoma Aggies
today stressed the fact that their
clash in the N.C.A.A. basketball
tournament finale tomorrow night
will be a test of two entirely different systems.
The Wildcats obviously were planning to stage a rapid-fire assault on the basket and roll up an impressive victory margin in defense of the crown they won last year.
And, as the rival fives put the finishing touches on their styles, don't think the coaches association which is considering rules changes in a meeting weren't keeping a close eye on the court. The outcome of this game may settle more than a championship—it may rewrite the rule book.
The Aggies, on the other hand, were scheming to keep the score down, to control the ball, and settle for a victory of any sort—by one point if necessary. But a victory.
The Hec Edmundson pavilion floor, where the game will be played, came in for criticism by both teams Thursday.
"There's no spring to it." claimed Ralph Beard, high scoring Kentucky forward. "Your legs get tired fast."
Aggie coach Iba also noticed the plywood floor failed to return dribbles to the height his boys expected
Meanwhile, rules recommendations were flying at the National Association of Basketball coaches meeting in downtown Seattle.
The last two minutes of the game seemed to hold strong attraction for the mentors, as nearly every one of the 116 coaches had some plan for cutting down roughness or freezing of the ball.
Herbert Read of Western Michigan was chairman of the closed meeting.
In Thursday's workouts, the Aggies showed the greatest effects of their cross-country plane trips. Iba reported several of his players became airsick en route. And the services of reserve guard Keith Smith appeared lost for the contest. Smith had an infected ankle and was taken to the hospital for penicillin treatment after the squad landed.
Oregon State's Beavers practised Thursday at Corvallis, Ore., before coming for final workouts today at the N.C.A.A. site. They play Illinois in the third place consolation game.
The Kentuckians showed the flash and sparkle that carried them to their sixth consecutive Southeastern conference championship this year. The Oklahomaans still feeling the effects of the plane trip, were slow and sluggish.
Locke New Threat In Golf Circuit
Greensboro, N.C., March 25—(U.P.)
Cary Middlecoff's domination of the winter golf circuit faced a new threat today in the person of Bobby Locke as the $10,000 Greensboro open golf tournament got underway at Starmount Country club.
Middlecoff, the Memphis dentist who switched from molars to mashies, has won three of the circuit's last five tourneys and finished second in the other two. On that basis, he's the top choice to take down the $2.00 winner's purse.
However, that man Locke is here again. Beknickered Bobby, the odd-swinging invader from South Africa, is making his first appearance in this country after a vacation in his homeland. The last time he was here Locke won several tournaments and hit the cash jackpot.
Intramural Men Wanted
Independent men interested in competing in intramural softball, horseshoes, tennis, and golf for the Independent Students association are asked to call Bryan Sperry at 1563-J immediately.

"Pop" Werner, new K.U. line coach is showing two of his heavyweight tackles how it's done in Thursday's practice session. Lettermen Mike McCormack is on the left and Tom Nelson is on the right. McCormack played behind Hugh Johnson last season and is expected to hold down a starting position at right tackle this year.
BoboNewsom To Hurl Again
Orlando, Fla., March 25 —(U.P.) Blustery Bobo Newsom, the wandering minstrel of baseball, was back in the professional game today as a pitcher with the Chattanooga Lookouts of the Southern association.
The new Chattanooga choo-choo dropped his duffle bag at the training base of the Washington Senators' farm club yesterday and talked Joe Engel, the Lookouts' president, into giving him a tryout. Engel said that Newsm would work three innings today in a game against the parent Senators.
Newson pitched semi-pro ball last summer following his release by the New York Giants.
Vero Beach, Fla., March 25—(U.P.)
—Negro pitcher Don Newcombe will display his "$300,000" arm today in a game between the Montreal Royals and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Newcombe, who is on the Montreal roster but has been working out with the Dodgers, had the 300-grand price tag placed on him yesterday by Brooklyn president Branch Rickey. Representatives of the New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs were reported interested in Newcombe, if not the price tag, and were here to look over the rookie pitcher today.
Sarasota, Fla., March 25—(U.P.) The Boston Red Sox, not particularly happy over their second straight loss to the Boston Braves, planned to take it out on their Louisville farmhands in a game here today.
The Red Sox traveled to Bradenton yesterday and came away with an 8 to 4 drubbing at the hands of their city rivals. Pitcher Vern Bickord stroked the winner's important blow, a base-clearing triple in the seventh inning.
Line Giants hurlers turned in a good performance yesterday, but the sluggers let him down as the New Yorkers lost to the St. Louis Browns, 2 to 0, behind the fine hurling of Sheldon Jones and Clint Hartung.
The Giant righthanders gave up only three hits while rookie Lefty (Red) Embree combined to hold the Irv Medinger and veteran Charley Giants to five bingles.
Burbank, Calif., March 25—(U.P.)—Leo Durocher, manager of the New York Giants, must be looking for a happy medium today.
Boudreau, who has played sparingly this spring, slammed two home runs yesterday to lead the Tribe to a 7 to 4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. It was Cleveland's first win in five tries.
Los Angeles, March 25—(U.P.) Apparently the best cure for a Cleveland slump is manager Lou Boudreau.
Illinois led all states in hatchery production of baby chicks in both 1847 and 1948.

Prather Is Named To All American
Rollin Prather, Kansas State shot putter and discus thrower has been named to the N.C.A.A. All American track and field team for the second consecutive year.
