SPORTS CLEANINGS
By BILL BELL • Sports Editor
a) WE ARE puzzled and just a little bit worried. After watching
Ohio State annihilate Northwestern. 87-81. Saturday night, and Iowa.
88-83 Monday night, with the regulars playing less than three quarters in each game, we wondered, are the Bucks that much better this
season, than they were in the past two. or is the Big Ten weaker?
Ohio  State's early   season  vic
tories over teams like Wake F«r
est and Wichita lend proof to tho
assumption that the Bu^ks are
stronger, but when we remember
the' ease with which Cincinnati
abeat Wisconsin, who is on.v one
game behind State in the Conference race. In the Garden's Holiday tournament, we are forced
back to the belief that the Big
Ten Is weaker this season.
U- this Is true then the Bucks
may be in for trouble when they
start the NCAA tournament grind.
For they may have had too easy
a time In Conference games to
prepare them for rugged competition. Also, they may unconsciously be over-confident.

However, if It was a battle between the AAU and NCAA as to
who would rule the amateur
sports and the selection of teams
for International competition, we
would have to favor the AAU, because, with its many faults. It
still has shown that it does consider all groups. The NCAA, like
most college people, live In Ivy-
covered walls and know little
about the problem outside their
domain.
9 THE National Professional
Basketball Ass'n has 33 tan players on Its roster. The N. York
Knlcks has the largest number,
five, and die Syracuse Nationals
the least, two.

players ever to take part in a col- High and Ohio State fame, are

They did everything brilliant in
the National's duet
The champion Boston Celts has

aetting   up   the  fast  breaks  and   seu, Sam Jones, K. C. Jones and

of their shots. They completely
bottled up Iowa's offense.
. When the regulars left the floor
with less than five minutes left in
the first half, the Bucks were
leading, 43-15.
The losers outscored the second
team In those final minutes of the
Salt to bring the score to 52-28 at
le halfway point.
We have never seen Mel Noweli
as fast or as brilliant a ballhawk
as he was Monday night. On several occasions he dribbled the entire length of the floor to either
sink a bunny or pass off at the
last minute to a teammate, who
would score an easy basket. Noweli got 11 points against Iowa and
12 against Northwestern. He ls
averaging better than 12 points a
game.
Jim Doughty got four points
against the Wildcats and three
against the Hawkeyes. Gene Lane
got two against Northwestern and
was scoreless against Iowa.
Ralph Wells, Northwestern's
star guard, was their leading
scorer with 16 points. Hankins, the
lone septa for Iowa, got two.
9 THE ONLY person who has
come up with a sensible solution
to the NCAA-AAU squabble has
been Dick Larklns. Ohio State's
athletic director,
Larkins' proposal that the AAU
and NCAA join in and set up federations with the AAU, NCAA,
NAIA, the Athletes, the Armed
Forces, the CYO and the YMCA,
with all federations having equal
power. Is one that the public
could support.
Sam and K- C. are not relatives.
Sam is from N. Carolina State
college and K. C. was a teammate of BUI Russel's at San Francisco.
Chicago, newest entry In the
association, has Walt Bellamy, SI
Green, Andy Johnson and Horace
Walker.
The Cincinnati Royals depend on
Oscar Robertson,*Wayne Embry,
Bob Boozer and Joe Buckhalter,
a former Globetrotter.
The Detroit Pistons have veteran Walter Dukes and rookies
Ray Scott and Willie Jones.
9 ELGIN BAYLOR, Tom Hawkins and Ray Felix play for the
Los Angeles Lakers. Baylor can
only play when he can get a pass
from the army.
Guy Rodgcrs and Al Attles are
Wilt Chamberlain's teammates on
the Philadelphia Warriors.
The St. Louis contlgent of sepia players are comparably unknown to most fans. They are
Fred Lacour, Bob Sims. Cleo Hill
and Shirley McMlllon. The Hawks
also have a contract with Len
Wllkens. but Wllkens has a more
Important contract with Uncle
Sam.
Hill is threatening to resign
after this season and teach school
in St. Louis. We understand that
Hill has not been happy with the
Hawks because tho older stars
and the owner do not want him
to shoot. In fact, the rumors are
that the reason the Hawks' coach,
who started the season, was fired,
Is because he was setting up fast
break plays for Hill to score.

9 LAST weekend, a band of
gaily bedecked bowlers ventured
to Dayton to join with fellow
bowlers from as far away as
Pittsburgh, In a bowlfest, celebrating the beginning of a new
era in bowling at the sparkling
new Hoover Lanes.
Columbus was represented by
the Mac Welch-led White Brothers
team, the gold and blue clad Garland Equipment teams (girls and
boys), the golden girls of Club
Cadillac, the ever-sharp Lane*
Asklns girls, as weU as the whlte-
shlrted men of Burger Beer.
The Garland girls had a match
with the Springfield-Dayton Rockets which, with Mary Wooden's
567, they won quite handily.
The Lane-Asklns girls had a
round of games with Hoover
Lanes-sponsored team, which
they defeated by more than 200
pins.
Highlight ot the day was a pin-
busting 268-714 series by the cocky, but cute, Wilson Waderker.
9 THE fiOTH C-J headpln tourney came to a screeching halt
Sunday night, and Vermount
bowlers may have placed In the
money. In at least two instances,
Young William Richardson and
Florence Richardson could be
winners.
WilUam Lyons, Buss Ford. Joe
Carter, Bea Jackson, Jean Hawkins, Margo Dabney, Eugene
Richardson. BUI Whittaker and a
host of others represented Vermount Lanes in the C-J sweepstakes and headpln divisions.
In Vermount League action, the
Monday Niters had five series and
games from WUllam Richardson,
214-685: Paul Maxwell, 221484;
Willie Saunders, 211-635, and John
Corner, 533.
The strong MercnanU-Iiidustrial
League bad a fairly slow week
with Leon Waderker rolling the
high single game, 238, and Herb
(Skull) Graham rolling a 688 series, to lead his Oasis Lounge team
to a 853-2778 series.
48 SPRING 8T. Y League was ,
paced    by   "Fingcrpoppcr"   Sim-.
mons' 233 and Wilson Waderker's
•28   (a  really  great  effort).  The
Charlie    Byrd-led    Williams    and
McNabb   team   beat   all   comers
with their 864-2762 series.
Women's Progressive League Is
currently being treated to an up*
surge by shy and demure Llla
Jones, who rolled a 172 game.
This, by some standards, ls not
exceUent, but means quite a bit
to an introvert of Lllo's caliber.
Nora Edwards shot her usual
good game with a 228-564, Rosetta
Davis, 170-178-496: Mary Wooden.
202-484, and Jean Hawkins, 172-
476.
