ATLANTA, Dec.20— Tulane,
with Cliff Wells at the helm en
ters the Southeastern Confer
ence basketball campaign this
season as the number one con
tender for the throne monop
olized so long by Kentucky.
The Kentuckians still steam
ing along under Adolph Rupp,
are again the favorites, but not
by as large a margin as in past
years. The Greenies with Wells
in his second year, won 22 of 30
games last season, and topped
it off by beating third-seeded
Tennessee and second-seeded
Louisiana State to reach the
finals of the annual tournament
opposite Kentucky.
Rupp’s Wildcats won 55-38,
over a tired Tulane outfit, but
the nearly 10.000 fans who saw
the finish realized that another
threat to Kentucky s reign had
arrived in the oerson of Wells
and his youngsters.
Wells has practically the
same outfit back, plus his son,
Bobby who like his coaching
dad gained prominence in In
diana prep circles before mov
ing south. W. Ells coached
prep schools in the Hoosier state
for 29 years.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Dec.
20. — It will be unspectacular
against spectacular when Penn
State meets Southern Methodist
in the Cotton Bowl New Year’s
day.
A precision-like ground attack
that amassed 2,713 yards in 517
rushes for an average of better
than 301 yards per game will be
pitted against the wide open of
fensive of SMU and its brilliant
triple threat back, Doak Walker.
Speaking of Walker, State
Coach Bob Higgins says, “t h e
guy does everything.
“He does his best running
when he’s trapped behind the
line on a pass attempt. And of
course, let’s not forge’, his punt
returns and kickoff returns.
“He’s a great opportunist,”
Higgins explains, “and he h a s
the uncanny ability of firing his
teammates with the same spirit.
He doesn’t overlook an opening,
he makes the best of every situ
ation, and he runs like the wind
the moment he sees a little day
light.”
You can’t single out any indi
vidual back on the Nittany Lion
squad the equal of Walker but
Coach Bob Higgins has at least
10 pretty fair runners. So deep
is the State talent that 16 dif
ferent backs scored touchdowns
during the season.
“Larry Joe,” Higgins insists,
“is one of the fastest backs in
the country.” He thinks highly
of Francis Rogel as bucker, Joe
Colone as a kicker and Elwood
Petchel as a “spot” player.
Jeff Durkota, 23-year-old half
back from Colver, Pa., set a
new modern Penn State scoring
record as he ran for 10 touch
downs. Durkota is a fast, shifty
running senio and with the
power expected of a 205 pound
er.
There you have a great array
of talent and actually Penn
State’s best all-around back has
not yet been mentioned. He’s
Johnny Chuckran who was side
lined by injuries and sat out
most of the season. Chuckran is
ready now and he easily could
be the star of the Cotton Bowl
classic.
And then of course there is
Charley Drazenovich, a fierce
blocking back and top flight play
caller.
Higgins’ real pride is his de- j
fense. They call the State line
the “Seven Mountains.”
Washington State, Bucknell,'
Fordham, Syracuse, West
Virginia, Colgate, Temple, Navy
i and Pittsburgh could average
j only 17 yards per game through
| the Nittany Lions’ forward wall
; —a new collegiate defense re
! cord of 22. inches per rushing
1 attempt. Alabama’s Crimson
Tide set the old mark in 1945.
Three opponents — Syracuse,
Colgate and Pitt — lost more
yardage than they gained in
running plays. Washington State
picked up 64 yards, while Buck
nell, Fordham, West Virginia
and Temple each were held to
40 yards. Only Navy went over
100—the Middles rolling for 120
yards.

fact, everything is being done
to make Wilmington realize that
the Wilmington College stu
dents, even though studying at
New Hanover High school until
their own building is erected,
are members of a college Many
local fans still insist on calling
the Wilmington College basket
ball team the “College Center”
as the last year’s freshman
school was known.
A successful basket ball team
is expected to put the Wilming
ton College on the map in East
ern North Carolina, and two
wins over Edwards Military In
stitute and Louisburg Junior
college started the ball rolling.
Campbell, probably the strong
est junior college in the stale,
is the only school holding a win
over the newly organized locals
and the Seahawks are already
raring to take Campbell on a
the NHHS gym where they be
lieve things will be much tight
ter.
Although short on experi
enced reserves the college has
a good group of starters. Croom,
Mason, and Pridgen all played
first string on New Hanover
High School cage teams. Towles
was Billy Mason’s sub on the
State champion Wildcats of last
season, and Brown starred for
the YMCA outfit.

WILLIAMS’TITLE
OFFICIALLY GIVEN
CHICAGO, Dec. 20.- Ted
Williams’ third American
League batting title in six years
today officially was awarded to
the lanky Boston Red Sox out
fielder, who did some “goat
getting” of his own this tear
with a championship average of
.343 and three 1 other attack
titles.
Now the league’s fourth three
time batting champion, Wil
liams also led in home runs with
32; runs scored with 125; and
total bases with 335. according :
to official league stat-stics.
Immortal Ty Cobb copned the
junior circuit crown 12 times,
but after him the honor is nar
rowed to Harry Heilmann with
four titles and Napoleon Lrioie
and Williams with three each.
. The Williams’ batting saga is
remarkable considering that aft
er winning the title in 1941 with
.406 and in 1942 with .356, the
Boston big boy spent three sea
son in miltairy service and last
year returned for a runner - up
.342.
Then he started the 194/ sea
son with a woeful batting hang
over from the 1946 world series
and supposedly was fretting and |
fussing over the so-called “Bou
dreau shift” against h;s slash
ing drives to right field.
Ted neatlv hurdled the' de
fenses and—more important, the
expected psychological compli
cations—by collecting 181 hits 5n
528 trips for his. 343 listin'*. 15
points ahead of runner-up Barn
ey McCosi'"'7 of Philadelphia
who had .328.
Third spot with 324 each was
shared by Chicago’s Ta^t Wright
and shortstop Johnnv Peskv of
Boston, who led in hits for the
second straight year at 207 and
|«7as the only player to top 200
blows.
