Kentucky Five Bounces Back With Victory By International News Service The Kentucky Wildcats, rocked twice this week by the resignation of star guard Linville Puckett and a second defeat from Georgia Tech, bounced back Thursday night with an 87 to 63 victory- over Florida at Lexington, Ky. The Wildcat?, battling to hold on to its top rating as the finest basketball team In the nation, encountered little difficulty in its Southeastern Conference game against Florida. The triumph was No. 13 for Kentucky In 16 season starts. Georgia Tech handed the two defeats to the Wildcats. Puckett, star guard for coach Adolph Rupp's Wildcats, quit the team after an argument with Rupp over alleged violations of training rules. The lanky basketball player denied that he asked for reinstatement following his walkout from the team on Wednesday. Thursday night he was replaced on the Kentucky .earn by Gayle Rose. Rose scored 12 points. Phil Grawemeyer paced the Wildcats with 20 points. % Puckett said he quit the team because basketball at Kentucky was no longer regarded as a game ‘‘but as a life or death matter.” The University of San Francisco, ranked 2nd by International News Service, had little trouble in disposing of California Poly, 76 to 67. Utah, rated third in the poll, again proved an unhospitable host to Los Angeles State by running over the visitors for the second time in as many nights, this time by an 81 to 49 score. In other games Thursday night, Drake upset Detroit, 93 to 86, at Des Moines, la.; Dayton edged Murray State, 49 to 45; George Washington, rated seventh by In-
