But Frosh Lose
Triumph
Again
Three teams from Reagan Ju- 39-20 tally. Ardis Gaither pushed
nlor High took victories here Mon-
day but the Mustang Freshman
team went down to another defeat.
The Frosh were defeated by Lee
at San Angelo, 50-21, last night at
Mustang Gym with the San Angelo
team scoring more points in either
half than the undermanned Ponies
did in the whole contest.
Neilson Greer was the top Fiosh
scorer with five points while Leon
Fitts. Jimmy Law, and Lester
Clark all tallied four points. Jack
Thompson had 18 and John Barnes
17 to pace San Angelo.
The score was 13-7 at the first
quarter, 26-11 at halftime, and 38-
15 at the third quarter as San An-
gelo pulled away a little more in
each period.
The Reagan Eighth grade var-

Maryland Criticized
For Over-Emphasis
ANNAPOLIS, Md.. Jan, 18—UP
—The University of Maryland,
which had the nation's top - rank-
ed football team in 1953, was crit-
icized Tuesday for "over emphasis
on football" and alleged rules vio-
lations in recruting athletes by the
Middle States Association of Col-
leges and Secondary Schools.
The criticisms were contained in
the Association's evaluation re-
port, formally presented Monday
to the Maryland Gereral Assem-
bly.
The Association ruled that
Maryland violated both NCAA and
Atlantic Coast Conference rules in
recruiting athletes. It said he had
not determined "how widespread
these violations have been, but
some well-documented evidence
exists."
Officials of the NCAA refused to
disclose whether that organization
also has been investigating Mtry-
land athletics and wshther it plan-
ned any action in the matter.
At Des Moines, Iowa, Frank
Gardner of Drake University,
chairman of the NCAA's commit-1
tee on rules violations, refused to
say whether or not his group has
been studying Maryland. He said
the commitee merely gathers in-
formation and passes ii to the
NCAA council, from which any an-
nouncement would have to come.
In Kansas City, Walter Byers,
executive-secretary of the NCAA,
also declined comment.
Jim Tatum, head football coach I
and athletic director at Maryland. Totals
said, "as far as I know, we have S. ANGEL
not been asked to change anything 1 Lowry .
that I could change as athletic di-1 Alexander
rector." Tatum said he had no ad ! Nolen
ditional information about the j Smith
charge of rul&' violatoins. j Ault ....
The report of the Association did Robins
not specify any instances of re-! Scott
cruiting violations. But it also crit-
icized an "imbalance" in the num-
ber of athletic scholarships." find-
ing that "football players consti-
tuted 18 per cent of the scholar-
ship recipients, but got 54 per cent
of the available scholarship
money."
The Association also criticized
"interlocking" relationships be-
tween members of the Athletic
Board, the Council on Intercollegi-
ate Athletics, and other important
committees of the University.
through 17 points to pace the Colt
victory while Eddie Scott added
ten to the winning cause.
The Colts went ahead 104} at the
end of the first quarter, pushed the
margin to 19-8 at the half, and
lengthened it to 29-13 at the third
quarter. Reserves played most cf
the final quarter.
In afternoon games Reagan
teams won two over Roby.
The Eighth grade B-Team wal-
loped the Roby Eighth grade, 37-13.
The B-Team took a long lead in
the first half and not until the last
portion of the game was the Roby
team able to score with any ef-
fectiveness.
Coach Hill poured a total of 17
men into the contest with Johnny
Creech leading the scoring with
eight points while Darnell Moser
contributed six.
Coach J. 1). McKoewn's Seventh
grade scored a rare basketball
shut-out over the Roby Seventh
grade as they won a 42-0 verdict.
The Seventh grade second string-
ers played most of the game
against th-s tiny Roby team.
The Reagan Eighth and Seventh
grade teams are scheduled to play
Roscoe teams here this afternoon
at Reagan Gym starting at 3:45.

High-flying Piainview faces stern
challenges from both of the cur-
rent runners-up, Big Spring and
Lamesa, this weekend.
The defending champion Bull-
dogs made it through their first
road trip of the district season
still unbeaten as they took Snyder,
44-35, and Sweetwater, 56-49. But
this weekend the job looks tougher
for the leaders who sport a 4-0
mark in loop play.
Big Spring and Lamesa have
both just lost one game in district
action while winning three and a
victory over Piainview would like-
ly put them in a tie for the loop
leadership.
Big Spring looks like the rough-
est challenge. The Steers lost their
opening game to Snyder but this
weekend romped Breckenridge, 64-
45, and then beat Vernon, 59-57, in
the Lions home den.
Lamesa meanwhile started with
two straight victories but dropped
a 54-43 decision to Vernon before
coming back to take easy Brecken-
ridge, .59-29. Piainview must face
both Lamesa and Big Spring away
from home.
Levelland, tied for the lead a
week ago, can now show nothing
better than a 2-2 mark as they
lost both to Sweetwater, 76-67, and
Snyder, 56-53.
The Mustangs this week meet
the lower echelon of the league in
Vernon and Breckenridge. Vernon
although winning only one game
this year, has been steadily impro-
ving and promises to be a tough
opponent. Breckenridge on the
4 I other hand is a basketball patsy.
i The Lions are here Firday night,

Pro Eastern Team
Favored Over West

NEW YORK. Jan. 18—UP—
The East squad, numbering six of
the league's 10 leading scorers,
was a three-point favorite to beat
the West Tuesday night in the fifth
annual National Basketball Asso-
ciation All-Star game at Madison
Square Garden.
Last winter, the East won in
overtime, 98-93. and except for the
absence of Ray Felix o! the New
York Knickerbockers and the ad-
dition of Paul Arizin of the Phila-
delphia Warriors, the team is ex-
actly the same.
In addition to Arizin, the East
squad boasts Bob Cousy, Ed Mac-

Golfers To Play
For Hopkins Cup
LA JOLLA, Calif., Jan. 18—UP
—The weatherman frowned Tues-
day as the 14 golfers representing
the United States and Canada teed
off for the opening rounds of the
fourth international PGA matches
for the Hopkins Trophy.
A. W. Anderson, chief of the San
Diego Weather Bureau, said a
storm coming down the coast
would dampen the area by night-
fall. He predicted nearly a half-
inch of rain would fall within the
next 36 hours.
The seven team members of the
United States golf squad will be
shooting for their fourth striight
victory.
Although this is the first of the
Hopkins matches to be played in
the United States, the Canadians
believe they have their best
chance yet of victory. The seven-
man team from north of the bor-
der has been practicing on the 6,-
600-yard La Jolla Country Club
course for more than seven days
and seems to be taking to the fair-
ways and greens.
Martell Firest Under Par
In a practice nine holes Henry
Martell fired the back nine with a
five-under-par 31.
Heading the United States teams
as captain is Charles tChick) Har-
bert, of Northville, Mich., holder of
the U. S. PGA championship. With
him will be Ed Furgol, St. Louis,
the U. S. open titleholder: Jack
Burke Jr., Kiamesha Lake, N. Y.;
Jerry Barber, La Canada, Calif.;
Marty Furgol, Lemont, 111.; Lloyd
Mangrum, Niles, 111., and Cary
Middlecoff, of Memphis, Tenn.
Interest will center around Mid-
dlecoff because of his Sunday vic-
tory in the Bing Crosby classic at
Pebble Beach.
In addition to Martell, the Ca-
nadian team includes Stan Leon-
ard as captain, Pat Fletcher. Wil-
liam Kerr, A1 Balding, Jules Huto
and Gordon Brydson.
Nassau Scoring Rules Used
The Hopkins trophy matches are
played under the Nassau scoring
rules, with points being awarded
for each nine holes, each complete
round and for each match. Tues-
day will feature singles matches
with four-ball play scheduled for
Wednesday.
A special exhibition will tee off
before the teams Tuesday. It will
include Gene Littler, Jimmy De-
maret, Phil Harris and Hoagy
Carmichael. Littler holds the La
Jolla Country Club course record
with a 63.
During regular play should any
of the pros top Littler's record he

Illinois, Vanderbilt Blasted From League
Leads; Kentucky Slips Past LSU, 64-62
By UNITED PRESS
The upset lightning flashed
through college basketball again
Tuesday, knocking mighty Illinois
and Vanderbilt out of their league
leads and narrowly missing Ken-
tucky, the nation's No. 1 team.
Illinois, the nation's third-rank-
ed team and tied with Minnesota
for first place in the Big Ten, was
blasted out of their co-leader role
by a 92-80 loss to Iowa Monday
night at Iowa City, Iowa. The vic-
tory moved Iowa up into that lead-
ership tie with idle Minnesota.
Vanderbilt, deadlocked with idle
Alabama for first place in the
Southeastern Conference, was
handed its first league defeat of
the season, 77-63, by Mississippi at
Oxford, Miss. Vandy had beaten
Mississippi by 25 points in a pre-
vious meeting.
But an upset to eclipse these
nearly occurred at Baton Rouge,
La., where Kentucky just squeezed
out a 64-62 victory over Louisiana
State.
Joe Fahey of LSU missed a driv-
ing shot from 10 feet out with just
four seconds left, to play, and that
was the margin of the Kentucky
victory. Kentucky, apparently still
suffering a hangover from its up-
set by Georgia Tech a week-and-
a-half ago. went stone cold in the
second half after taking a 39-32
halftime margin. Meanwhile LSU
hit on 45.1 per cent of its shots in
the second half in a stubborn but
vain effort to catch up. Phil Graw-
emeyer of Kentucky and Roger
Sigler of LSU tied for scoring hon-
ors at 18 points.
Colorado moved into a tie with
idle Missouri (each with 3-0 rec-
ords) for first place in the Big Sev
