Kentucky Wins Over Georgia For Loop Lead By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer For the 12th time in the last 14 years it seems that the Southeastern Conference basketball crown may turn out to be a Kentucky “derby." Baron Adolph Rupp's Wildcats , from the blue grass had to settle . for second place a year ago in the SEC, but Wednesday night they went out front by a halflength in this year’s race with a , 84-53 triumph over Georgia. Georgia was simply no match for Kentucky, falling behind 45-28 at halftime and struggling against the reserves throughout the second half. ' Sophomore Johnny Cox led Kentucky scorers with 22 points as 1 the Wildcats, ranked the nation’s No. 3 team by the United Press Board of Coaches, gained their 14th victory in 17 starts. * Tar Heels In Tune-Up 1 North Carolina, the nation’s No. [ 1 team, also saw action Wednesday night — but only in a “tune1 up” 77-59 romp over little Western 1 Carolina to extend its perfect reC--1 ord to 16-0. Lennie Rosenbluth | paced the Tar Heels with 24 points. Otherwise, the spotlight Wednesi day night was on free throw shooting as Dave Ricketts of Duquesne established a new major college record of 40 straight. The mark i will b 4 threatened tonight when Jackie Murdock of Wake Forest, who has canned 37 in a row, goes out against Virginia. Ricketts, brother of former Du- ‘ quesne All-America Dick Ricketts, hit 10-for-10 on free throws Wednesday night in a 71-67 victory over St. Francis of Brooklyn and so his streak is still “alive” for possible additions when Duquesne plays again next Monday against Niagara. Passes Forte’s Mark Ricketts, who had 28 points to take scoring honors for the game, thus passed the old major college mark of 38 straight free throws 1 set earlier this season by Chet (The Jet) Forte of Columbia.
