Still another record broken in the Wildcats-Ole Miss game was in most points by both teams of 174 points, which beat the former mark by two points- when Kentuckv whipped Tulane Green Wave, 104 to 68 in 1950-51. The Ruppmen last night equalled the most field goals scored by any one team as they racked up 43 baskets, the same number made by the Wildcats in the UK-Tulane tilt in 1951. Mwto the UK team, Hagan, Bobby Wat- son, both of Owensboro, and Frank Ramsey of Madisonville, turned in sparkling performances.

It was Watson who registered the loot point oi tne game ot the 'Cats in the last five minutes of the contest to make the score 100-43 at that point in the fourth quarter. Hagan, who registered 10 field goals and 17 free throws, fouled out of the contest with three minutes and 50 seconds of play remaining and Ken Lindsey, Rebels' guard, made the free throw to make the count Kentucky 106; Mississippi 53. Ramsey who was third in the scoring column for the Wildcats with 15 points gave a splendid exhibition of goal shooting soon after the third quarter got under way, when he hit for four consecutive fielders on his specialty turn around one-handed jump shots. Captain Watson gave the home1 folk a number of thrills with his long shots, one of which was from the 45-1'oot mark. Bobby registered eight fielders and tallied two of three of his free.

Poor Ole Miss hit two bucket out of 19 tries as they desperately attempted to match shots with the Ruppmen. The reason for this was clear to mose fans as they watched Kentucky force the visitors to take long range shots at the hoop while they worked the ball in for close shots. During this period UK set some kind of a record as its members dropped in 10 field goals with out a miss, Hagan scoring eight of i them.

Nobody can criticize you for getting the boys you are entitled to.

"Football in Kentucky is gettins better. Maybe we can help it." He said he is counting on Ken-tuckians to see that nobody leaves the state. Kentucky had 20-odd home state youngsters on its Cotton Bowl squad. Several were regulars and all of Kentucky's points in the Dallas classic were produced by native talent. Bryant said he had been thinking about the step for some time and decided upon it definitely two or three weeks ago.

He figured the new plan would enable his coaching staff to do a better job. It would give the coaches more time at home to plan future tactics and would cut down on I extensive trips in search of new talent. The mentor emphasized there are loopholes in the plan. Wickliffe Easily Defeats Red Devils By 69 fo 43 Score By SHERMAN WILSON There was just a little too much of Phil Rollins for the Owensboro Senior High Red Devils to cope with last night at the Sportscenter, as he scored 22 points in leading the Wickliffe High cagers to a 69-43 victory. Rollins, brother of Kenny Rollins of Kentucky Wilcat fame, was a rebounding demon off both blackboards in addition to his 22 points.

Billy Bibb, elongated Red Devil center, played the first half and part of the third quarter with a badly-sprained ankle that greatly handicapped him. He managed to notch 12 points in the approximately 20 minutes he saw action. Next in line in the scoring column for the Demons was Johnny Kuegel and Logan Gipe with nine each. OHS started fast and built up an 11- 7 lead before Wickliffe started clicking. In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the Blue and White cagers outscored Owensboro 12- 1 to take a 19-12 lead.

The two teams played on even terms during the second frame, scoring 13 apiece. At one point, Senior High had narrowed the gap to 24-21. Wickliffe, rated No. 4 among state high schools, opened the throttle in the third period and outscored the Demons 21-7 to take a 53-32 lead entering into the final eight minutes of play. The game was played as a preliminary to the Kentucky-Mississippi clash to give the two visiting college coaches sn opportunity to watch several members of the two high school teams that have aroused interest'.

The mentor made the announcement ata press conference a few minutes after the squad returned home from its Cotton Bowl victory over Texas Christian at Dallas New Year's Day. Bryant said out-of-state gridders would be welcome on the Kentucky squad. They will have to come on their own, though, and there will be scholarships available for only five non-Kentuckians each year. The plan is effective immediately and Kentucky apparently is the first big-time football team to take such a step. Kentucky has recruited on a wide scale In the past though the 1951 team had more home grown gridders than customary.

Bryant noted there had been criticism of collegiate recruiting and said We are confident that if other institutions will follow this plan, all the evils attendant on recruiting will be ended." The plan would take about four years to realize the result. Many out-of-state players are on football scholarship at the university, some with three years of eligibllty left, and these players will be retained. The new system puts emphasis on Kentucky ex-schoolboy gridders. There are more than 100 high schools in the commonwealth that play football. Here is the text of Bryant's statement: "In recent years the University of Kentucky has gone far afield in the recruiting of football players, Under the circumstances prevailing it did not seem to be an unwise policy, and it did result in many outstanding young men from other castinS their lot with us.

We shall ever be grateful to these men for the contributions they have made to whatever success we have attained. They are as truly sons of Kentucky as are those who, bred in the commonwealth, joined forces with them in an effJrt to enhance the athletic prestige of the university. "Whatever merit this program had it has subjected the university and many other institutions to crlticism fr0m colleges and univer i in noifrhWirnr otato Tt. nor. sisted in the good relations between tne university of Kentucky and her neighbors would deteriorate and the good name of Kentucky would suffer.

Accordingly, we have concluded that the best interest of Kentucky will now be served by a change in this policy. As of today the University of Kentucky will cease all recruiting of football players outside the state of Kentucky. No representative (this includes coaches, alumni, or friends) of the university will In the future call upon any boy who is not a resident J( 1U i already been awarded, inese win taruy report, ior registration. football scholarships in any one but in all instances these out-of-state students must seek us out and apply for the scholarship.

We have confidence in )n "We, therefore, wish to call upon our alumni and friends in neighboring states to desist from any recruitment in our behalf. I ask our colleagues in our neighboring states to notify me if they learn of any such activity." Bryant asserted the program was his own idea and that it applied only to football. In view of recommendations by various college officials for a de Weirton, W. Va.

Bryant recognized the value of the out-of-staters and said that while Kentucky isn't going to compete for them any more, it would be glad to have any student come out for football.

Lou Westerfield, sparked the Wesleyan quint by leading in the scoring for the Purples with 17 points. His accuracy was uncanny as he sent 25 and 30 feet shots through the hoop without shaking the board. Melvin DeWeese paced Murray with 15 tallies in the non-conference tilt played before fans. The game was Wesleyan's fourth loss against five wins. The Murray rally in the third quarter, after Wesleyan had played the Thoroughbreds almost even through the first half, occurred when Coach Hodges sent in Charlie Lampley, one of his first string guards.

The Murray stabilizer played only two minutes in the third quarter, having been on the sick list for three days preceding last night's tilt. The Panthers took an early lead vhich they guarded until one min ute and nine seconds left In the first quarter with the score 5 to 4. A hook shot by DeWeese put the Throughbreds ahead 6 to 5 and they held it until the last second of the -quarter when Wesleyan Guard Billy Harrell hit from 40 feet to tie the score 15-15. Highlight play by play follows: First Quarter Wesleyan got the tip to open the game, and Christopher took a pass under the basket and laid it in after only five seconds had elapsed. Garrett fouled Daniel and he connected, 3-0.

The scene for the eighth straight year is the Riviera Country Club, with its more than 7,000 yards of rolling, tree-lined fairways sprawling near the Pacific Ocean. Par is 35-36-71.

When the final whistle had blown, there was an even louder and a more thunderous applause, for the Wildcats and Coach Rupp had proved to every person in the jammed stadium that they were truly the nation's No. 1 team as well as having the best coach in the business. Kentucky, with the help of local boys Cliff Hagan and agile little Bobby Watson had so demolished the visiting cagers that any opposing threat had disappeared by the end of the first quarter.

The final score stood 116 to 58, but that didn't explain the ball game at all.
