Ky. ond Tenn. Phone 526 ALEX GROZA COUNTS 25 POINTS IN NCAA FINAL IN SEATTLE Seattle, March 26. UP) With Alex Groza as chief gunner, piling in 25 points, Kentucky remained national collegiate basketball champion tonight by crushing Oklahoma A. 46-36.

Big Alex was a scoring wildman before a howling crowd of 12,500. The 6 foot 7 inch senior center wound up his college career by winning unanimous selection as the "player of the tournament." Sports writers, awed by his display of scoring, voted him the honor without a dissent. Coach Hank Iba's Oklahoma Aggies drew first blood and held an early lead of 5-2, but when Groza and Kentucky began to roll the final outcome was plain. The big guy hit a lay-in, added a free throw point to tie it up, then intercepted a pass and outraced the Aggies for the basket that put his team ahead. By the half it was 25-20.

Four minutes after the start of the second half the last Oklahoma hope went glimmering when lanky Bob Harris fouled out. By that time Kentucky was ten points to the good, 31-21. From there on the Wildcats appeared content to coast. When Harris left Coach Adolph Rupp pulled Groza to the the big fellow having four fouls. Eight minutes before the finish Rupp sent him back, and Groza added ten counters to the fifteen he collected in the first half.

He fouled out after only three minutes more of play. The Aggies worked smoothly in the opening minutes, cracking the Kentucky defense open for lay-in shots which they could not convert. Rupp solved Iba's style of attack by halftime and the Aggies did not get a field goal for 13 minutes in the second half. Three minutes from the end, Oklahoma lost scrappy J. L.

Parks on fouls and Kentucky -stalled the rest of the way. Nobody came close to Groza's scoring efforts. Harris and Parks each had seven when they left the game. Forward Jack Shelton of the Aggies was second man to Groza with 12. Speed by all hands and the dynamite of Alex Groza under the boards carried Kentucky's Wildcats to a 25-20 halftime lead.

It took Kentucky all of a minute and a half to score and three more minutes to overtake the Aggies at 5-all. Then big Alex, who counted fifteen points in the first half, put the defending NCAA champions in front at 7-5 and A never caught up.
