Johnny

* Holds Key to

Badger Hopes

United Press Staff Correspondent MADISON, Wis, Dec. 29.—The

greatest individual scorer in Big Ten basketball history, Johnny Kotz, today held the key to the University of Wisconsin's title chances in the forthcoming con-

: ference cage race.

Kotz smashed the all-time scoring mark of Purdue’s Jewell Young a season ago when he garnered 95

can approach that terrific scoring pace this season the Badgers will be a definité threat for the championship Il-

~, linois grabbed last g

year. Kotz, who Johnny Kotz stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 200 pounds, closed the 1941-42 campaign in whirlwind fashion by scoring 31 points against Iowa. In four other conference contests he scored

X 20 or more points.

t Bowli

Only one team succeeded in halting the Badger star and his accurate one-handed push shot last season. That was Purdue which lim.ited him to three points while beating Wisconsin, 40-34. The current season is Kotz's third. He helped the Badgers to the national collegiate championship in his sophomore season and paced Wisconsin last season in a threeway, tie for second place in the Big Ten. ‘ ;

Impressive So Far

Wisconsin has been impressive 1 its early season games. The Badgers have won four and lost one. They beat Marquette twice and Camp. Grant and Oklahoma once. The setback was 61-59 at the hands of Notre Dame. Wisconsin ends its “warm up” program Jan. 9 against Northwestern at Chicago. While Kotz is the top man in the Badger cast, Coach Bud Foster has four other lettermen to team with him in the starting lintup. At the forward opposite Kotz is Bob Sullivan, a 6-foot-1-inch senior. Sullivan was second among the Badger scorers last season with 107 points in conference games.

: Below Average Size |

Ray Patterson, who earned his monogram as a sophomore last season, is at center. Patterson, at 6-foot-2, is below the average size of Big Ten pivotmen but possesses great speed and is a capable under-the-basket performer. Fred Rehm, a senior, and Walt Lautenbach, a junior, are the regular guards. Rehm is a talented rebound artist and Lauterbach has shown indications of becoming an outstanding defensive performer,

Carr, Apps Share Lead

MONTREAL, Dec. 29 (U. P.)).— Lorne Carr of the Toronto Maple Leafs nudged up alongside teammate Syl Apps to share the top spot in the National Hockey league individual scoring race, official . standings revealed today. Carr, in third place last week, gained five points during the week. His 31 points came from a total of 15 goals and 18 assists. Apps built up his total from 17

goals and 14 assists. Bill Cowley of Boston and Toronto’s Bill Taylor tied for third place with 30 points.

Castleberry Is Hope of Tech

DALLAS, Tex., Dec. 29 (U. P,).— Clint Castleberry, Georgia Tech's freshman fire cracker, was the center of attention today as the Ramblin’ Wreck and Texas university, its Cotton Bowl opponent, began secret practice for their New Year's day game. Bill Alexander, Tech's veteran coach, admitted that Castleberry was his chief hope of outscoring the opposition. Both teams held their: first workout here yesterday. And Dana X. Bible, the stubby, genial pilot of the Texans, picked Castleberry as theiman the Longhorns must stop if they hope to win their first start in this post-season gridiron ‘classic. Little Olint, a 155-pound freshman who looks more like the waterboy when standing among his hulking mates, was unmindful of the furor he created. But indicative of the major role he will play, the 18-year-old passing and broken field star handled the ball on practically every practiced Play.

In Shape Again

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 29 (U. P.). —The clouds of gloom which had gathered over Georgia's Rose Bowl training camp vanished today and Bulldog stock began booming because Frankie Sinkwich promises to be his old self come U. C. L. A. and New Year's day here in the home of football’s annual classic. There was plenty of apprehension in Georgia's camp over whether Sinkwich even would be able to play until he donned his gridiron togs yesterday and showed that his twisted right ankle was going to be all right so far as his passing and running are concerned. Although he still favors the injured leg, he looked like the Sinkwich who. won almost unanimous all-America honors this season.
