During the period that Kefr tucky built this lead, Baylor was able to score only 7 points against the tenacious Wildcat pressure.

Vincennes and. Southeast Illinois will play in the other first round game. The third annuaf PJC tournament will be held Friday and Saturday at the Lone Oak High School gymnasium, and boasts the strongest junior college teams of the region. Vincennes and Southeast Illinois, will play at 7:30 p.m. Friday night, and Centralia and PJC get together at 9 o'clock.

The consolation game, pairing the first night losers, will begin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, with the championship contest to start at 9 clock. Advance tickets are on sale at the Lone Oak Pharmacy, PJC business office and from Lone Oak Lions Club members. Prices are $1 for adults and 50 cents for students. Always tough Vincennes prob-albly must be ruled the favorite by virtue of its 7-1 record.

Beaten only by the St. Louis University freshman team, the Trailblazers have an experienced and tall team. The Hoosiers already have captured their own invitational tournament title. The top interest game, though, probably will be between the high-scoring Centralia and PJC teams. This year the two teams have played once, ending in a 105-105 tie at the end of regulation play before Centralia went into overtime for a 110-107 vic tory.

Many outstanding individual performers will play in the tournament. Heading the list will be Rus sell Coleman of Centralia, Jack Butler and Wayne Wilson of Vincennes, Dave Pavelonis of Southeastern Illinois and Kay Hughes of PJC. Coleman was the second leading scorer in the nation last year with 31.7 points per game. He led Centralia to a 15-5 season record which included the South ern Illinois Coneference crown, and the SIC and Mt. Vernon tournament championships.

Southeastern has had trouble winning this year, but the squad has extended several good teams before losing. Pavelonis is a tremendous shooter, but the Falcons are hampered by lack of height. The pairing: Friday (7:30) Vincennes vi. Southeast Illinoii. va.

Three quick field goals gave Kentucky a 30-17 lead and with 1:23 to go a field goal by Nash put Kentucky on top 50-28.

The Bears opened up with a 1-3-1 zone in an effort to stop Kentucky's 1-2 scoring punch of Nash and Ted Deeken. But this proved futile as the Wildcats' fast break kept Baylor off balance.

(AP) A dazzling 100-yard kickoff return and two cashed-in fumble recoveries shot Alabama into a 17-point halftime lead Saturday, but the Tide barely survived a wither- ing second-half aerial bombard ment by the University of Mi ami's George 17-12, The fabulous Mira, complete ly dominating the last two periods, drove Miami to two touch downs and, in the lading mo ments the Hurricanes seemed headed for a third, until an inter ception by Jackie Sherrill at Alabama's 29 saved the Day.

Two other Miami drives in the second half, in which eighth ranked, Sugar Bowl-bound Ala bama controlled the ball for only 18 plays, carried to the Tide's four and 21 as Mira com pleted 24 passes for 301 aerial yards. This tied the brilliant Miami senior with Don Klosterman of Loyola of California for the most completions in a major college career. Each hit with 368 throws. It also enabled Mira to win the 1963 major college total offense championshiip, boosting his ground-and-air figure to yards, He moved ahead of Baylor's Don Trull by 42 yards. Fleet Gary Martin, fastest man on the Alabama squad, took the opening kickoff of this wild game two yards deep in his end zone, picked up a flyine squad of blockers, and raced down a sideline to a touchdown.

Then Alabama turned two fumble recoveries into another touchdown and a field goal to take a commanding 17-0 lead at halftime. Hudson Harris recovered a fumble at the Miami 13 and six plays later Benny Nelson rammed a yard for the second Alabama touchdown of the first period. In the second quarter, Al Lewis pounced on another Miami bobble at the Hurricane 35 and, when the Tide was stopped at the 19, Tim Davis, who had converted after the two touch downs, added a 35-yard goal. The Hurricanes, who had! stuck mostly to a ground attack in the first half, began moving with Mira's arm in the second half and Alabama never got a serious offensive threat going the rest of the game. Miami drove to the Alabama ifour before Steve Wright, Iblocked this initial second half, trapping Russell Smith back 'at the 10 on fourth dowru Ala bama was held and again, Miami moved to the Alabama 21 before 'this drive, too, failed.

A third march finally paid off with a nine-yard touchdown pass from Mira to Nick Spinelli, and a fourth terminated with a one-yard touchdown burst by IPete Banaszak. Still with time to pull the game out of the fire, Mira I nailed Spinelli, Hoyt Sparks and Banaszak with another series of passes that took the hurricanes the -Alabama 38 before Sher- rm car.e up tus rz- fieldiman remaining, 39-35.
