After 25 Years Rupp Finds Secret By JIMMT BRESLIN NEA Stiff Correspondent LEXINGTON, Ky. (NEA) Adolph Rupp, now In his 25th year as Kentucky basketball coach, seems to have finally found the secret of winning basketball games with minimum wear and tear on the nervous system. Not that the Baron has been doing badly. His over-all record shows an 85.6 percentage and last year's outfit went undefeated throughout a 25-game schedule. It's just that this year's edition of the Wildcats seems to do things so much more simply.

No less an authority than Ken Loeffler, coach of the defending NCAA champion, La Salle, concurs. "The Wildcats stack three guys who are 6-6 or better around the basket and take six of seven shots at i time," he notes. "One of then, goes In. They go back and give the other team one shot, grab the and start all over again." In a three year supposed to be 1 rebuilding affair, Kentucky fans were presented with a club which, on any given night, is probably fine a college team as ever has been assembled. took only five games for ketball people to begin rating this team with not only last season's Cliff Hagan-Frank Ramsey-Lou TsioropoulO! outfit, but also the once-Fabulous Five of the scandsl- smaihed Alex Orou-Rilph tra.

This year'i Kentucky outfit be dumped here and there along the way, but you'll have to chalk that up to the normal hanrdi tt Playing a 24-game college schedule Rupy had, you see, a ready-made squad. All that was needed was one more big man. Lon Morris Junior College of Jacksonville, to the rescue with 6-7 Bob Burrow, the "Bevo Francis of Junior College Basketball." Burrow got off to a slow itort gainst Louisiana State, but scored with 12 of 30 tough Temple and irtbbed 34 rebounds. Hi MSJUM IOM out-oMUUr on can be murderous if the defense backs off in an attempt to hold down the height problem Kentucky presents underneath. Evans is a familiar story, as far it Kentucky is concerned.

This Is his fifth year in the school. He is Ineligible to compete in the NCAA tournament, as Hagan and Company last year. This shouldn't bother Hupp too much. All he has to do is reach along the bench and pluck off somebody like Gayle Rose, a senior who would star at 300 other schools. Rupp, of course, Is the last guy to admit all this.

"We have a long way to go," he says, then quickly goes into accolades about last season's team. The Baron maintains that was his greatest. This season is merely a rebuilding year, he professes to believe. Nor does Adolph Rupp talk about the usual Kentucky freshman team Harry Lancaster is schooling. Five members of that outfit are 6-5 or better.

But they of course, have long way to whole years before they graduate. TOWERING Phil Grawemeyer, southpaw, helps Kentucky hit the other side from angles. (NEA) With Burrows, Rupp put veteran Jerry Bird, 6-6, underneath. Southpaw Phil Orawmeyer, 6-714, helps off the boards. Orasvmeyer has a fine outside shot to boot.

Here's How Bowl Swag Is Split NEW ORLEANS-(AP) Ever wonder about what be- comes.of the taken in at a major New Year's football bowl game? The National Collegiate Athletic Assn. has a set of rules on how the money is divided and how the tickets are distributed If the bowl game Involves a member college. So let's take the expected figures for Saturday's Sugar Bowl game here, in which Navy and Mississippi will compete, as an example. Includes All Money The total cash receipts, which Includes money from ticket sales, programs, hot dogs, radio and TV rights, will approach the half- million mark. First come the taxes.

Uncle Sam gets 51 cents for every $6 seat, the city of New Orleans 36 cents and the state of Louisiana 18 cents. Their aggregate will be about $41,000 to the United States, $21,000 to the city and $12,000 to the state. Of the remainder, the NCAA rules permit the sponsoring organ- will be roughtly sns.OOO and of this the Sugar Bowl fathers make a voluntary gift of $25.000 to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The rest goes for operating expenses. If the sponsoring group is.

not involved In any stadium indebtedness, all the remaining 75 per cent must be distributed to the two competing colleges. However. If there is a stadium debt, the NCAA allows the sponsoring group to tnke another 20 per cent for payment on such debts with the remaining 55 per cent going to the two teams. Still In Debt The Sugar Bowl people still owe for enlarging Tulane Stadium to about 81.000 seats so another, estimated $100.000 Is taken out of the pot. That leaves 55 per cent, or about $320,000, to be split equally between Navy and Mississippi.

Navy has said its. cut of the melon will go to the Navy athletic department. Mississippi Is committed by a Southeastern Conference rule to izatlon to keep 25 per cent. That I pay that circuit $25.000. Buckeyes, USC In Final Stage PASADENA.
