It was good.

When they took their second one, with 6:12 left in the half, they connected. Thus, at that point, they were hitting 100 per cent of their shots from the field, and were behind 26 points. In that incredible first half, the Racers made nine complete steals of Oglethorpe passes and forced floor errors seven times. That meant that the visitors, whose nickname is the Petrels, started 16 trips down the floor a free throw as the game ended to make the final score. Murray outshot the Indians from the field 43 oer cent to 39 per cent But PJC picked off 46 1 rebounds during the game to just 35 for Murray.

For double-All-American Cotton Nash of Kentucky it is vice versa. Last year everyone was asking what's wrong with Nash, but now there is nothing but praise for the blond bomber. Here Is what Coach Gene Gibson of Texas Tech said of Nash after his Red Raiders lost to Kentucky 107-91.

He probably could have had a few more points had he not passed off to teammates who had better shots. He's an all-around player." The Red Raiders, to a man, agreed with their coach. "He's the best we've played against in my two years at Tech," said one player. In that game Nash poured through 33 points for the Wildcats of Adolph Rupp. That gives him 61 points for the first two games of the season.

During those games Nash has played 79 minutes of a possible 80 minutes, has hit 21 of 46 field goal attempts for 45.7 per cent and 19 of 24 free throws for 79 2 per cent. And, he has pulled down 31 rebounds, an average of 15.5 a game. His scoring average is 30 points" per game. Sport Magazine, has picked Nash for the first team of its pre-season All-America squad. Here is what thepublication had to say about the Wildcat wonder: Cotton, though he's only S-5, plays the center when he's needed, can play guard, but is a natural forward.

Nash has the grace of a small man, but plays like a great big man. His rebounding and defense are remarkable for a man of his size." Wildcat Coach Rupp says Nash Is looking like the Nash of old, after an off year as a junior, and seems to have an attitude that should spell trouble for foes. Even in an off season last year Nash averaged 20.6 points per game, 514 for the season, and grabbed 300 rebounds. At least two other players, both newcomers to college varsity competition in Kentucky, are attracting attention. Stu Johnson, Murray State's 6-9 pivot man, began his career as a Racer regular this week, and while not sensational he has given indication that he could be one of the best Murray Coach Cal Luther says Johnson has all the tools to be a really fine player and figures to be an important part of the Thoroughbred operation for the next three years.

Luther said his big sophomore has a lot to learn, but said he could be an All-America caliber of athlete before his college days are over. "He'll be scoring 30 points a game before the season Is over," Luther said.
