Chandler Harper, a not especial- ly conspicuous pro of 40, won the latest renewal of the oldest money tournament with rounds of 70-63- |63-63—259. Johnny Palmer started the final round with a 5-stroke lead over the field, shot a 1-under-par 70 and finished two strokes back of Harper.

All America Cliff Hagan, Frank Ramsey and Lou Tsioropoulos, the last remaining members of Ken- tucky’s 19511 national champions, bowed out on the Lexington, Ky., court in fine style last night as they led Kentucky to a 100-64 rout of Vanderbilt. With Hagan getting 22 points, Tsioropoulos 20 and Ramsey 19, the big three came close to tying Vandy all by them- selves. Barred from play last year by the NCAA, they have two more regular season games away from home, then in all probability will wind up their college careers in a playoff with Louisiana State for. the Southeastern Conference cham- ponship. Even if Kentucky wins that one, the three can’t play in the NCAA tourney because they’re now postgraduates. LSU kept pace with Kentucky in the SEC race by whipping Ala- bama 79-65 as 6-9 Bob Pettit, the best basketball player in the bay-| ous for years, closed his home ca- reer with a 36-point scoring out- burst.

And Beckman has promised the gridmen a lot of work—he is faced {with the problem of almost com- pletely rebuilding the football ma- chine that swept undefeated through last year’s schedule after jhe lost several key men through | graduation. | The team will be hampered by \the fact that they will have to hold eir drills on annex field, which very much inadequate—and roc- |ky.

This would include a varsity the picture is brighter today for Kentucky, ranked second in the country behind Duquesne, than for third-ranked Indiana. The proud Hoosiers, expecting to clinch a tie for the Big Ten conference be the home folks, were rudely jolted by Iowa’s brash sophomores 82-64. With second - year man Milt Scheurman stealing the ball and classmate Bill Seaberg putting it in the basket (for 21 points all told), Iowa took the lead in the second quarter and held it the rest of the way. The upset, coupled with Illinois’ 66-64 thriller over Wiscon- sin on two free throws by Jim Wright with a minute to play, left Indiana in front with a 10-2 rec- ont But Iowa is 9-3 and Illinois +3. | Duquesne took no chances of similar trouble against Bowling Green, stopping the Ohio team _with five points in the third quar- jter while racking up a 79-52 vic- |tory.

Arizona dropped out of the run- ning for the Border Conference crown after bowing to Texas Tech, the league leader, 97-68, Kansas forged ahead of Colorado in the tight Big Seven race by making the most of its free throws for a 67-62 win over Nebraska. The losers made 24 fields goals to Kansas’ 18, but only 14 free throws to Kansas’ 31. Furman’s Frank Selvy continued his mazing scoring by scoring 41 points in Furman’s 85-76 victory| jover Richmond. He now has 1,041 on the season and 2,370 for his career.
