Hub Rupert's Ford City five is currently tied for the Section leadership with a 5-1 record after handing previously unbeaten New Kensington a 53-47 set-back Tuesday night. The Ru-pertmen's season mark is 9-6, Monessen having handed them one of their five exhibition de- feats, 55 47. i Probable Starters FRIDAY FINALES: Most Monongahela cage fans are in agreement that the Wildcat-Monessen game Wednesday night was one of the most thrilling Sectional games seen here in several seasons. The Washington High exhibition tilt here earlier in the season was probably a little more exciting since it went into over-time but not being a league tilt takes the edge away from it and tabs the Monessen tilt the most exciting here this season.

Monessen has a speedy, well-drilled team and should go all the way unless they come a cropper on one of the smaller floors where- they won't be able to wear an opponent down. The Greyhounds will have to meet California, Brownsville and NEW YORK, Jan. 28 The good luck which the Pittsburgh Stpelers have experienced with their No. 1 draft choices in recent ynrs seems certain to extend another season.

Aliquippa High is seeking a couple of AA grid opponents for next season. The Quips need an opener and an October 14 contest. Schedule difficulties developed for the Aliquippa eleven when the School Board ordered only double-A foes be played in the future.

Hub Rupert, coach of the Ford City cagers, tonight's foe of the Monongahela High Wildcats, has a phenomenal record at Ford City High; since he returned to the school from the Navy in 1947, his teams have won Sectional titles in 47-48-50-51-52 and 53, copping the WPIAL title in 48 and advancing to the finals for the crown in 1953, losing to Sharon. There's a good chance Stan Musial may wind up drawing a million dollars in baseball salaries before he hangs up his spikes. Here are Stan's approximate salaries since he entered needs work so as not to slow down when he does return to action. With the Burke question in mind. Cree will use a starting lineup of Burke or Rich Hodgson or possibly Jay Maluga and Pete McCauley at forwards, Lee Matuga at center and Wayne Porter and Sam Malena at the back-court posts.
