THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUiSViLLE, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 6, 1951. SPORTS SECTION 2 FOOTBALL ILL. Plays poorly 73-60 But Wins U. K. Rips Auburn By 79-35 Spivey Scores 18 As Cats Win 8th of Season Miami Is Cards' Tenth Victim; Memphis State Is Foe Tonight By TOMMY FITZGERALD, Courier-Journal Staff Writer Miami, Jan.

5. To preserve their strength for tonight's game, Coach Peck Hickman wouldn't let his ocean-loving University of Louisville basketball team do any swimming today. Salt water was out, but the boys almost plunged themselves into a lot of hot water tonight before they beat fit" fyf the University of Miami team 73-60. Miami, still talking about that shocking 13-13 tie the Louisville football team in- 7T flicted on the Hurricanes, was I a S'---a "I in a line spot to- Lexington, Jan. 5.

Auburn met Kentucky here tonight for the first time in 30 years in a regular season's basketball game, and the out-manned Plainsmen probably are hoping they won't see the Wildcats for another 30 years. For the Wildcats warmed up for an important Monday night game here with DePaul by routing the overmatched but game Plainsmen 79-35 before a crowd of approximately 10,000. This was little more than a scrimmage for the Wildcats, who annexed victory No. 8 against one defeat. But even as a scrimmage, Kentucky appeared to show one weakness that hampered it in the Sugar Bowl tournamen it seemed to have a tough time getting the ball in to scoring machine Bill Spivey.

And the Wildcats still showed a tendency to night to return i that blow. The Hurri cane basketball team was as much of an underdog as the Louisville foot ball team was.

And Spivey accrued 18 points to for a three-point basket. He immediately followed with another free flip to give Louisville a 10-point, 41-31 edge at the half. Louisville was tight, nervous and erratic near the end of the half.

The Cards' condition didn't seem improved at the start of the second half. But the Hurricanes blew their shots and opportunities the first few minutes. Lochmueller took things into his own hands and contributed 12 points to pace the Cardinals to a 21-point, 65-44 lead with eight minutes to go. The Hurricanes were still 19 points behind at 73-54 with about a minute left. Then they made six quick points against U.

Donovan chose Paul Bryant to coach that team." Col. Guy Huguelet, university trustee and the man behind the football scenes, was master of 16 points, displaying a versatile shooting attack from out on the floor and from under the bucket. Shelby Linville, who set off the early scoring spree, had 12. Kentucky started slowly in this unexciting tussle. But it had no trouble getting its machinery clicking, and by the half it led 41-13 over the poor shooting Plainsmen.

The victory, incidentally, was the 88th straight on the home floor for the Wildcats. LARRY BOECK could get the toughest team possible to play, so that they'd get the opportunity to show they are a real football team despite the Tennessee loss. The determination they showed made me feel right then and there they'd win the Sugar Bowl." At this point, a voice from the gallery shouted: "Make them all colonels!" "That's just what I'm going to do," Wetherby shot back. And so he made the entire team and coaching staff Kentucky colonels. Zatarain, Sugar Bowl president, also won the honor.

Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler, another Kentucky en- Shooting was the only thing to which the Cardinals could point with pride. They made 39.8 per cent of their throws from the field. Their passing was ragged and their thinking wasn't sharp. They lost the ball repeatedly through some mechanical error. Terrible shooting kept Miami from making a close battle of it.

The Hurricanes blew crip shots, threw the ball away time and again and were poor at the free-throw line where they missed 13 of 29 stabs. The Cardinals began as if they were going to give a repeat performance of their Tampa show. St. Mary's Decision to Quit Grid Shows Way College Wind Blowing Small Schools Can't Make Grade St. Mary's of California yesterday showed the way the football winds are blowing for the smaller colleges when it gave up the fight.

Once one of America's mightiest football strongholds, the little campus at Moraga, will turn all its attention to basketball for the duration of the national emergency and probably bejond. Like virtually all small schools trying to keep up with a pace set by the behemoths, St. Mary's is losing freshmen to the bigger schools, losing regulars to Uncle Sam, and losing money at 'every turn. "Intercollegiate football has become a big business," explained the Board of Trustees. "The financial 3oss entailed in maintaining a major football program in face of inflated competition makes continued operation impossible." St.

Mary's has an enrollment of less than 1,000 and uses San Francisco's Kozar Stadium which seats 62,000. Her 'jiet loss this past season ran above $75,000. Little schools everywhere are feeling. the same pressure. And in some ases the big ones also are hurting.

Tulane, for instance, owns the Sugar Bowl, which seats 82,000. Tulane fielded a jpretty good team this past season, but lost almost as much cash as St. Mary's did. Here, Too While most smaller colleges in ig.tt pf. Kentucky.

When the Sugar Bowl victors landed at Blue Grass Field at 1:15 p.m. after a 2-hour and 35-minute flight from New Orleans, they were greeted by fans at the airport.

Then they were officially toasted by an enthusiastic crowd of 9,000 in Memorial Coliseum. An a.rray of speakers praised the Wildcats, who climaxed the most successful season in Kentucky football history by upsetting powerful Oklahoma, the nation's No. 1 team in all polls and an eleven which had been undefeated in 31 straight games. Highlight of the welcoming ceremony was the presentation of the Sugar Bowl Trophy by Sugar Bowl President Charles Zatarain to Coach Paul Bryant. Bryant immediately walked to where Co-Captain Shorty Jamerson was sitting and presented the trophy to him.

Bryant Embarrassed "Honestly, it embarrasses me to take the bows for the players and the assistant coaches," commented Bryant later. "I prefer to take my place in back of the team, where I belong." They made their first three shots two of them by Lochmueller and the other by Brown to gain a 6-0 lead. Totals 12 11 18 Totals 35 9 13 ceremonies. Dr. Leo Chamberlin, U.

You get off first. I'll take over 'for Texas." Kentucky opens next season with Texas. About half the boys had filed down the steps leaving the plane when, suddenly, a great cheer arose. "That must be Parilli getting off," one of the fellows joked. And it was Babe Parilli.

Babe, incidentally, was the victim of misfortune on the plane during a penny ante card game. He lost. "Jiminy," said the retiring Babe, "I just never could do any good gambling. Surprised, an onlooker asked, "Yeah? and what do you call those passes of yours from your own 10 and 20-yard lines?" "That ain't gambling," said Babe, "not the way coach has those plays worked out."

Harry Wismer, on a coast-to-coast radiocast, gave the first one to Clark. The Courier-Journal reported that Shorty Jamerson made both. Then came Thursday night's TV quickie in which the announcer had Al Bruno tabbing the first and Bill Leskovar the second.

St. Mary's College, which kept football alive through two world wars during a colorful 43-year gridiron history, gave up the ghost yesterday and abandoned the sport for the duration of the national emergency. r-fVA lC e- Dr.

Herman L. Donovan, Kentucky president, took advantage of the ceremonies to stress the point that the U. K. athletic fund is strong. "We started with $100,000, and now we have $120,000," he said.

He apparently was answering those who have been saying the athletic fund is in poor shape. Then, turning to the great football victory, Donovan said: "Coach Bryant has a murderous schedule next season. We are all with him today. I expect you to be with him next fall, when we may lose two, three or four games. This will be your test of loyalty, mine and that of all Kentuckians.

"In this hour of glory, I pledge that, come what may, I will be with Coach Bryant this year and the next and the next, win, lose or draw." Donovan stressed the fact that basketball and football at Kentucky have risen to high places in the athletic world without conflict. "When I was in New Orleans, I was pleased with the co-operation and sportsmanship shown by both coaches." he said. "Mr. Bryant sat on the bench during Kentucky's basketball game with Syracuse; Mr. Rupp sat on the football bench in the Sugar Bowl game.

The nation's sports writers and sportscasters voted the Yanks the team of the year for 1950 in the Associated Press annual year-end poll. Seventy of the 215 voted for the New Yorkers, and 56 selected the University of Oklahoma football team, which was upset in the Sugar Bowl after 31 straight victories.

NORTH vs. SOUTH About 25,000 fans are expected to watch graduating players from a score of colleges play in the Senior Bowl game at Mobile today. The Southern squad, coached by Steve Owen, was a 7-point favorite over the Northerners, trained by "Bo" McMillin.

The Northern squad, for non-geographic reasons, boasts a back-field which includes Kyle Rote of Southern Methodist and Leon Heath of Oklahoma. Hard-running John Dottley of Mississippi and Joe Ernst of Tulane are among the South's backfield stars. The heavy, fast lines look evenly matched to most observers, but Kentucky's Bob Gain at tackle may give the South an edge. 'and he is through the line with blockers in front of him my best wishes to my old friend, Athletic Director Fritz Waldorf in Pasadena and to Commissioner Unhappy Chandler in Bangkok, Maine wish they were here to see this great Sugar Bowl spectacle, which Harry Wismer is broadcasting from coast to coast, over oceans, into tunnels, caves, Bill Stern was pouting a little because rain fell Ruetz, who still had a year to go on a two-year contract, managed to pilot the Gaels to two victories and an upset tie with Georgia, but St. Mary's lost to seven other foes.

The university said the ex-Notre Dame guard would get an "equitable settlement" of his contract and that the baseball coaches and assistant football coaches would be paid off in full. What will happen to footballers on the campus who manage to stay out of the armed forces next year was a matter of conjecture. JUSTICE EYES N. Charley Justice said he would quit playing football for the Washington Redskins if he landed a coaching job at his old school, the University of North Carolina. But his boss, George Preston Marshall, reminded him he was under a 3-year contract "and I expect him to honor it." Justice, former All-American tailback at North Carolina, said his old coach, Carl Snavely, had offered him an assistant back-field coaching post, pending approval by the school athletic council.

The decision was made after three years of experinvnttinn, tucky has disproved what 1 said. Bryant, appearing at the speaker's platform next, brought noisy prolonged cheering when he said: "Dr. Donovan only mentioned three years. I assure you I'll be here a lot longer than that." Dr.

Donovan, all smiles, leaped from his seat and placed his arms around Bryant, patting him vigorously on the back after embracing him. There had been some doubt, before the Sugar Bowl game, that Bryant might remain at U. K. after having been sought by several colleges. Coach Adolph Rupp, "Mr.

Basketball," praised Bryant and the; football team for a "magnificent piece of work. You beat the national champs. You did something what 31 other teams couldn't do over a period of three and one-half years." Governor Lawrence Wetherby, whose casual, friendly attitude in New Orleans made him a host of fritnds, also spoke. "I wasn't surprised Kentucky won," he said.
