spring football drills opened

,v

in perfect weather.
Collier and a coaching staff
which lists three new faces, flashed
to 79 candidates who
th
carry UK hopes of resurfacing
Mfter being submerged In lower
division SEC standings since 1954.
But Lexington weather abruptly
yesterday and snow prevented
the Wildcats from practicing.
Teams under NCAA rule are
36 days to get in 20 days of
practice.
' Our biggest general problem is
getting depth," Collier said Mon
day after greeting one of the largest squads in many years. Three
players were not suited up for
the initial practice. Of the three
only George Boone is expected to
join the squad this spring. Lowell
Hughes and Bob Farrell will miss
the practice sessions.
Collier lost 11 lettermen from
last season's team which ccmpi'ed
a
record. Starters Irs: by
graduation were Bobby Cravens
d
Bob Lindon. Doug Shively,
Morris, Dick Blocker and
Jim Miller.
Several changes were announced '
by the five year veteran UK coach.
The shifts were prompted ty Collier's decision to pattern his 150
squad after naticnal-champic- n
plan
LSU. who used a three-un- it
in rolling over 11 opponents last
year.
Regular halfback Glenn Ed
Shaw, newly elected
of
next fall's eleven, will move over
y
to a fullback position to fill a
left by the graduation of
Morris and a shift which moved
reserve fullback Lloyd Hodge to
a renter position.
Hughes, who will miss the spring
drills because of. a knee operation.;
will be tried at a halfback past in
duties as
addition to regular
quaterback. The former Prestons- burg, Ky. high school star was
rated one of the nation's best
running quarterbacks in prep cir- -

Louisville .mil Eastern finally hae the chance to challenge
Adulph Rump's WikUats for commonwealth cage supremacy
with the coming ol the NCAA Regional, which will find possibly one anil mabe both teams in Lvanston, 111. March 13.
The Caulinals, Paul Mclirayer's Maroons, Marquette, and
the winner ol the Mid American Conference (either Miami
or Howling Ciccn) meet lure Tuesday. Winners of the attractive Coliseum double-headeadvance to Evanston to join SEC
representative Kentucky and Big Ten king Michigan State for
Friday and Saturday night clashes.
Drawings lor the Lexington games have not been made
yet. Eastern, which beat Louisville during the regular season in
Louisville, reigns as a leading contender for one of the two
berths in the regional. Coach I'e(k Hickman's surging Cardinviinals put on a February rally which netted an
tation for the Falls City quintet. They split with Marquette
during the season campaign, each unit copping a victory on
the home court.
Marquette Coach Eddie Hie key, former UK nemesis while
at the helm of the M. Louis Hillikins, has another tough defensive team and a control-tvpollense which boosted the
Warriors in to the NCAA derby.
They said it couldn't be done, but Miami's pesky Redskins of the
Conference shook off graduation
losses and bounced into the driver's seat in the torrid conference.
Redskin Coach Dick Schrier, who guided his squad into
the NCAA Regional here in Lexington last spring, needs only
one more victory for another ticket into the Hlue Grass arena.
His team meets
Marshall in Huntington, W. Ya.
Saturday night. If Miami loses to the Hig Green a playoff
will be forced with Howling Green, Ohio.
Kentucky fans naturally are hoping Louisville and Eastern are paired into opposite brackets for the bout here Tuesday, thus giving the commonwealth a chance for three teams
in the four-teafield in Evanston. Kentucky will play the
winner of the
tilt and Michigan State
battles the winner of the
contest.
The Wildcats have met Louisville twice during the reign
of Adolph Rupp, winning both times. They met first in
in the Olympic Trials in New York, where the 'Cats won

More buxom blondes with
shipwrecked sailors insist
on Camels than any other
cigarette today. It stands
to reason : the best tobacco
makes the best smoke. The
Camel blend of costly to-

equalled for rich flavor and
easygoing mildness. No
wonder Camel is the No. 1
cigarette of all!
