KENTUCKY
IS A? TOP,
CAGE POLL
NEW YORK, Dec. 19——It looks
as if Kentucky has a 24-carat bas
ketball team to match its new $4,
000,000 field house.
At least, the nation’s sports writ
ers and sportscasters think so. Yes
terday they voted the unbeaten
Wildcats the No. 1 position in the
first weekly Associated Press poll.
Kentucky was given 93 of 165 first
place votes for 1,451 points. Bradley,
winner of last season’s final poll,
placed second with 20 top ballots
and 1,302 points.
North Carolina State was third,
with 20 first-place votes, and 1,105
points. These were the only teams
earning 1,000 or more points.
In order, the rest of the top 10
was Indiana, Oklahoma A. and M„
CCNY, Long Island, Missouri, UCLA
and Toledo.
Washington’s undefeated Huskies
took over 12th place with four first
place votes. Washington State,
Whitworth of Spokane, Seattle Uni
versity and Idaho also received
votes.
Coach Adolph Rupp obviously has
brought his Kentucky squad a long
way since that lopsided 89-50 loss
to CCNY in the National Invitation
Tournament last March. The Wild
cats have chalked up five straight
victories, including a stunning 68-39
romp over Kansas last Saturday.
BASEBALL
NEWS NOW
NEW YORK, Dec. 19—W*—'The
major league meetings ended last
week, but there was enough baseball
news yesterday to start another
convention.
The most significant development
was the official retirement of
Toirimy Henrich. one of the great
all-time New York Yankee out
fielders. An injured knee forced the
34-year-old veteran to hang up one
of the game’s most respected gloves.
Tommy will act as coach with the
world champions in 1951.
Another brilliant career—that of
Ma*ty Marion’s — may have been
extended. The new St. Louis Card
inals skipper had an operation yes
terday on his knee—and doctors
said it was a success, and that
Marion should be in condition to
play shortstop next spring.
So with the knee probably
mended, Marion’s worries would be
eased n)°re if his big batting Bertha,
Stan Musial, would come to terms.
Ed Stanky of the New York Giants
Was reported to have signed his
1951 contract. The New York Daily
News said the scrappy second base
man inked a pact calling for
$30,000, an increase of $10,000 over
last year.
Official figures showed that two
of Stanky’s teammates — pitchers
Jim Hearn and Sal Maglie—took
top honors among National League
moundsmen. Hearn hung up a smart
2.49 earned run average, while
ilaglie posted the highest winning
percentage, .818, with his 18-4 re
cord.
' And Branch Rickey—who didn’t
figure in any pitching records last
year—said last night he was “com
pelled” to sell his stock in the
Brooklyn Dodgers “because I was
in debt.”
