WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1949 KENTUCKY ROOKIE GOES INTO | SHOWING WESTPLAY Big Combin; Wins Eastern NCAA Playoffs-New in Finals at Seattle NEW YORK, March 23.—#—It's a revived, rampaging Kentucky fas- ketkall team that will defend its NCAA championship in Seattle, Wash., Saturday against defense- minded Oklahoma A. and M. Twenty-four hours ago Coach Adolph Rupp feared his magnifi- cent senior quintet, the nation’s top- ranked combine, might have “played itseli out” and reached the end of its triumphant trail. But these qualms vanished, the Blue Grass courts master said, when he saw his Wildcats crush Illinois Big Nine titlists, 76-47, 1ast night to win the Eastern NCAA playotfs. Led by Alex Groza, the big All America center who pitched in 27 points, Kentucky just toyed with thc mid-Westerns and won breezing Lefors a Madison Square Garden crowd of 15,126. “It was one of the five best games my boys played all year,” Rupp com- mented proudly afterwards. “They really snapped out of their slump( and I hope for a bangup game against the Aggies.” The Kentucky coach said he be- came alarmed about his team when it dropped a lackadaisical 67-56 decision to Loyola of Chicago in the quarter-finals of the National Invitation tournament last week. His worries were not relieved, he added, when his proteges won over | villanova, 85-72, Monday night in the semifinals of the Eastern NCAA tournament. “The 67 points that Loyola got i were the most scored against one ol‘ my teams in 26 years,” he said “Then Villanova came along and topped that with 72.” In the consolation game, Villano- va held Yale's fabulous Tony La- velli to a single field goal in trounc- ing the El, 78-67. Paul Arizin rang in 22 points for the Philadel- phians. { H. sturrock THEM UP SAN FERNANDO, Calif., March 23—(M--The St. Louis Browns “B" team was taught a taseball lesson by Jim Baxes, 20-year-old Hollywaod Stars rookie third baseman. Baxes scored six runs with a pair of homers yesterday to lead the stars to a 12-11 win over the Browns club. Alsc, he doubled with one man out in the tenth and scored the win- ning run. | WILMINGTON.— Another major league “B" team took it on the chin when Seattle pasted five Pittsburgh pitchers for 18 hits to win 16-5.

Manager Casey Stengel says Dick Kryhoski, up from Kansas City, is “to green to play first base in the majors. T haven't played him be- cause I don’t want to have him dis- appointed when he is sent down.” Babe Young, signed as a free agent, has been unimpressive and appears on the way out. MAJOR TEAMS ARE HOLDING ONTO ALL OF THEIR HURLERS SAN BmNARDINO, Calif., March 23 —(P—Lippy Durocher, New York Giant manager, claims rival clubs are offering “tomato pickers” in ex- change for some of his sluggers. “Notody is giving up a star pitch- er,” Durocher said. “Pittsburgh, for instance, expressed interest in Bob- by Thompson. I mentioned Stan Rojek, Kirby Higbe and another pitcher to be named and they threw up their hands. That'’s the way it goes. They offer you tomato pickers but we have plenty of them our- selves. So has everybody.” — e+ FIGHT DOPE Fights last night turned out as follows: BROOKLYN (Broadway Arena) —Harold Green, 163%, Brooklyn, ofitpointed Oswaldo Silva, 160%, of Brazil, 8.
