Grades Unrelated
To Car Ownership
Says Foy Study
By SALLY Q U I L L I AN
Plainsman News Writer
There is no significant correlation
between grades and car ownership
at Auburn, according to a
study recently made by Dean of
Student Affairs James E. Foy.
The survey was made on 1743
freshmen who entered in the summer
or fall of 1959. Of this class,
393, or 27.6 per cent, had automobiles.
Twenty-seven per cent of
the freshmen that had cars made
a 2.0 or better, 22.1 per cent made
between 1.00 and 1.99, and 30.9
per cent made below 1.0. "These
figures," said Dean Foy, "seem to
indicate no significant relation between
car ownership . and grade
point average." Grades quoted are
for the first quarter.
The survey also indicates that in
the higher point averages, a much
larger percentage of freshmen
owned cars than the 27.6 per cent
of car owners in the whole group.
For instance, in the 2.50 to 2.74
to 3.0 bracket, 11 out of 26, or 42
per cent, had cars. Of freshmen
who made Phi Eta Sigma in the
Fall of 1960, 52 per cent had automobiles.
Dean Foy is conducting an extensive
survey on this group of
freshman, and these statistics are
a part of this larger survey. Complete
results will not be available
until all of these students have
finished at Auburn.
Another fact brought out from
this data concerns freshman English.
In their first English course,
1.88 per cent made "A" and 18.37
per cent made "F". Only 14.08 per
cent made "B", while 35.27 per
cent made "C". In other words,
more freshmen failed English than
made grades of "A" and "B" combined.

By JIM VICKREY
Plainsman News Writer
The Auburn varsity debate t e am took top honors recently
at the 16th annual Magnolia Speech Tournament at Mississippi
State College for Women in Columbus, Miss.
The Auburn team competed with teams from Alabama,
Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas in
four divisions of varsity competition:
debate, oratory, impromptu
speaking, and interpretative
reading. Auburn's record in debate
for the two day tournament
was nine wins and one loss. The

team of Jim Vickrey and Jim
Kilpatrick, debating together for
the first time-, took -wins in each
of the five rounds in which they
participated. Bill Kominos and
Harvey Weeks finished with four
wins and one loss. However, they
compiled the best overall individual
rating's, caputuring a total
of. thirty points out of a possible
fifty.
In the other divisions of the
tournament Auburn also captured
high ratings. Kilpatrick was
rated "Excellent" in oratory for
his speech on "Euro-america." He
also won honors in impromptu
speaking with a six minute unprepared
oration on the subject
"Is Russia Winning the Cold
War?"
In interpretative reading Kominos,
participating for the first
time, achieved top honors with
his reading of Poe's poem "The
Raven."
Auburn debate coach Richard
Rea praised the work of the squad
for taking the important tournament
trophy. He stated that he
was well pleased with the outcome
of the perennially tough
debate tournament and especially
the cooperation and teamwork
exhibited by both of his varsity
teams. This was Auburn's second
win of the year in Mississippi,
having taken first place in the
Deep South Debate Tournament
in Clinton, Miss, last quarter.
Coach Rea expressed the hope
that this recent victory would
help carry the squad to honors
at the Southern Speech Association
Tournament in Austin, Texas
from .April 1 to April 8.
AU Engineers Have Sign Back Under
Not-So-Mysterious Circumstances
Electrical engineers at Auburn University are happy now.
Their sign concerning the "best electrical engineers in the world"
has been returned.
The electrical engineers will tell you that the sign has been
returned but that no names are being revealed. Evidently they
are playing it coy concerning thier detection devices. At any rate
the cast aluminum sign came back by bus. The return address
in part contained the words: Georgia A&I, Atlanta, Ga.
The Auburn boys figure it this way: There is no Georgia Agricultural
and Industrial School in Atlanta. There is, however, a
certain state technological institution located there.
Meanwhile, back on the Plains, the electrical engineers see
no, hear no, speak no evil. They're just happy to have back their
prized sign.

President Ralph B. Draughon has announced that two
open house days will be held on the Auburn campus for high
school juniors, seniors, and their advisors. The dates that
have been set for the open house are March 24 and April 14.
Letters of invitation and information about Auburn and
its open house activities have been
sent to various high schools
throughout the state.
Open house dates have been set
up as a replacement for the annual
Village Fair held in Auburn over
the past few years. The student
senate voted to discontinue Village
Fair for this year in order to
evaluate the event and seek solutions
to problems which have
incurred as a result of the activity.
Administrative, school, and departmental
offices will be open to
the high school student so that he
may discuss his individual academic
interests with the proper university
personnel. There will be
several different times available
for the students to discuss their
plans with officials. Opportunities
for receiving information on
several academic fields will thus
be available.
Members of the committee far
the open house are Dr. Robert
Anderson, Executive Vice-President;
Dean James E. Foy, Dean
of Student Affairs, Dean Cathe-ine
Cater, Dean of Women; P. M.
Norton, Co-ordinator of. Veterans
Affairs; Dean M. C. Huntley, Dean
of Faculties; Mrs. Barbara R u s h,
Education Secretary; L. B. Williams,
Auburn News Bureau; and
student Charles White, former
chairman of Village Fair.
A committee of Auburn students
will be on hand for registration,
information and guided
tours. .
Dean Foy says of the o p en
house, "The high school student
will be given the opportunity to
see Auburn, tour the campus,
meet students, and learn where
various campus facilities are located.
He will be able to discuss
his personal academic plans and
interests with those who are best
qualified to help him."
According to information received
from Mr. P. M. Norton, Coordinator
of. Veterans Affairs and
member of the open house committee,
the emphasis of the open
house will be primarily academic.
Social activities will be limited.
Dean Foy and Dean Cater are •
currently working on social arrangements
for the visiting high
school students. There will be no
special activities for the high
school students by campus social
organizations.

Left, Right, Left
Our conservative friends are kind enough
to send in several reams of rightist propaganda
every month—everything from the
respectable National Review to Reader's Digest
reprints to the rather laughable John
Birch Society publication, American Opinion.
And we attempt to read as much of it
as possible, that is, whatever we can work
in between reading The New Republic,
Time magazine, Ralph McGill, Walter Lipp-man,
James Reston, et al—in general what
conservatives usually refer to as the "liberal
establishment."
As an example from the lastest mail haul,
one kind soul in Birmingham was thoughtful
enough to send the following collection
of miscellany:
A booklet with a 40-page summary denunciation
of dialectical materialism, Marxism,
etc. (complete with pictures of communist
victims reminescent of Hitler's
prison camp carnage; and a cursory description
of Communist infiltration of foreign
aid, tax-free foundations, labor unions,
the Supreme Court, universities, the
UN, pulpits, integration movements, communications
media, art, government, ad
nauseum; a J. Edgar Hoover article
from Christianity Today; two reprints from
American Opinion explaining, among other
things, why this is a republic and not a
democracy; an article by Dean Clarence
Manion denouncing Eisenhower and backing
the Bricker Amendment; and a mimeographed
reprint (with comment) of an
old Arthur Schlesinger article calling for
more socialism.
We do, of course, appreciate the attention.
In fact, we found the Schlesinger article
among the best we have recently seen.
Evidently, however, there is a considerable
amount of opinion that there is a
direct line always open from the Plainsman
office to the Kremlin. The mistake, as usual,
comes from equating liberalism with
communism.
Communism is definitely a menace. As
Mr. Lane suggested Wednesday, we should
learn its nature and goals. We agree that
communism, and all forms of totalitarianism,
should be fought, and fought hard, but
we would submit that complete laissez faire
economics, jingoism, witch hunting, intolerance
and other policies advocated by
much of the American right wing would
lead as surely and as quickly to an intolerable
state of affairs as would submission to
communist rule.
We do not only need to fight communism;
we also need to vigorously advocate enlightened
democracy.
The Student Aid Office
For the second week in a row (something
of a record for The Plainsman) we
feel ourselves called on to comment favorably
on an action of the school administration.
Today, we laud the creation of the
Office of Student Financial Aid.
In the past, what little student aid that
is available here in the form of scholarships
and loans was rather difficult to find,
simply because of the disorganized and decentralized
nature of its administration.
Now, one office will take care of this function,
and available aid can be used to a
much fuller extent with less trouble and
red tape.
We also applaud the new function of
the office, in seeking new sources of scholarships
and loans. Until now, there has
been no organized effort in this area.
The office will also centralize and coordinate
part-time job possibilities for students,
another service which should prove
very beneficial.
The administration is to be commended
for taking.the initiative in providing this
needed service for Auburn students.

A Career Plainsman Staffer About To Leave Mother Auburn
Fires A Parting Blast At Motherhood, Other Sacred Cows
It is at a time like this when
career Plains-men writers are
called upon to deliver a few parting
shots at sacred cows and bulls
and all that stuff such as sickly-children,
kind old ladies, love-able
animals (chipmunks, owls,
penguins and tipras), Auburn,
motherhood, boys in uniform, the
confederate flag, ad infinitum.
The occasion is no less than
that milestone, though some
might say millstone, of college
life — graduation.
So much for that, now for those
parting shots.
This writer has discovered all
manner of truisms and gems of
wisdom which would mean to the
little ordinary freshman power to
rule the world if he but knew
them.
Let me hasten to say that I have
nothing personal against sickly-children,
kind old ladies, etc.,
it's just that they don't know the
truth. The truth, ah, now there's
something to make one's heart
swell with pride. And to think
that I know, that I can savor the
little sterling silver drops from
the 24 caret cloud of wisdom, and
few others can. Ah, the glory of it
all.
Before I impart to the masses
the truth of the universe so that
they may cease to grovel in the
mire of ignorance, let me first
say that I have known many sickly
children, kind old ladies, etc.
and I love them one and all. But
this does not keep me from firing
a few parting shots. Now
By John Wallace
then, just what is the matter with
our world?
In the first place it is not flat
as many of you believe (an obscure
scientist named Robert
Welch discovered this late in the
third century B.C — very late —
about 1932. The world is actually
shaped like a double bassoon being
played by Arthur Godfrey.
Let me continue. E does not
equal MC squared. This is simply
a rumor spread over the
world by an unemployed pretzel
twister by the name of Millard
Fillmore. E actually equals four
pretzels.
How about sickly children? I
have found that most sickly chil.
dren (I was one, having had chicken
pox, measles, mumps, flat
feet and dandruff) grow into
brave, strong, courageous professional
baseball players, which is
good. Let us have more sickly
children.
There is the matter also of the
Auburn Spirit (notice the capital
letters). I think the Auburn
Spirit is very fine along with
sickly children and kind old
ladies. Enough said about that.
Before I part, there is one thing
I feel must be said. To get ahead
in this world and this college
takes hard work and drive, drive,
drive.
Wish you'd known all this
sooner?
Farewell!

Winter Quarter -- Social Success
By GRACE HARRIS
Society Editor
Winter quarter 1962. What did it bring to the Auburn
campus social-wise? In the way of formals, it brought 16
f r a t e r n i t y formals with 11 new sweethearts, eight sorority
formals, the I.F.C. Greek Week Dance with a new Greek
Goddess, the annual Military Ball with ,a new Honorary
Colonel, and the Beaux Arts Ball
Sweetheart titles for 1962-63
were presented at 11 of the 16
fraternity formals. The titles were
given to Ercel Friel by Sigma
Pi; Nancy Moses, Kappa Sigma;
Carol Penny, Phi Gamma Delta;;
Carol Strain, Pi Kappa Phi; Gud-ren
Hellebrand, Tau Kappa Epsil-on;
Peggy Wooten, Pi Kappa Alpha;
Ruth Radney, Phi Kappa
Tau; Jerolyn Ridgway, Delta Chi;
Patty Anderson, Sigma Phi Ep-solon;
Janice Jones, Lambda Chi
Alpha and Bonnie Aiken, Theta
Chi.
The I.F.C. Greek Week Dance
in early February climaxed a
most successful Greek Week. Selected
by Auburn's social fraternities
to reign as Greek Goddess
for this year was Miss Suellen
Robinson.
Miss Virginia Smith, Navy
Color Girl, was chosen to serve as
Honorary Colonel for the ROTC
units for 1962-63. She was presented
during the leadout of the
annual Military Ball in February.
Held in late February, the
Beaux Arts Ball was among the
many social activities sponsored
by the Union Committee this
quarter.
What will Spring quarter bring
in the way of social activities?
There are 11 fraternity and sorority
formals to be carried over
from this quarter's social merry-go-
round, the Navy Ring Dance
—an annual event of the NROTC
will be held in mid-April and the
Union Committees are planning
more of their informal social
functions for the coming spring
quarter.

Students' Assistance Asked In City's
Beautification Program Now Under Way
> A special appeal to students
went out this week from the City
of Auburn beautification committee
for help in a community-wide
improvement program which is
being emphasized in March.
Students were asked to join
hands with townspeople in a
clean-up drive which is the initial
effort in the ambitious beautification
campaign, some aspects of
which will be of much longer duration.
"We hope to eliminate litter in
the business district, residential
areas, on the campus and on the
highways leading into Auburn,"
said Don Tidwell, chairman of a
seven-member beautification committee
appointed by Mayor Louie
W. James. "The use of litter-bags
in automobiles is especially
urged5 and we also want to encourage
use of trash receptacles
downtown."
The beautification campaign in
its broader aspects is expected to
include a number of improvement
projects to be undertaken by civic
and business organizations.

THE TRUE AND TRAGICAL TALE OF
HAPPY JACK SIGAFOOS
Who would have thought that Happy Jack Sigafoos, the boy
the sky never rained on',' would teeter on the edge of a life of crime?
Certainly there was no sign of it in his boyhood. His home
life was tranquil and uplifting. His mother was a nice fat lady
who hummed a lot and gave baskets to the poor. His father
was a respected citizen who could imitate more than 400 bird
calls and once saved an elderly widow from drowning in hia
good suit. (That is, Mr. Sigafoos was in his good suit; the
elderly widow was in swimming trunks.) Happy Jack's lite
Was nothing short of idyllic—till he went off to college.
Here Happy Jack quickly became a typical freshman-tweedy,
seedy, and needy. He learned the joys of rounding out
his personality, and he learned the cost. His allowance vanished
like dew before the morning sun. There were times, it grieves
me to report, when he didn't even have enough money for a
pack of Marlboro Cigarettes—and you know how miserable
that can be! To be deprived of Marlboro's matchless flavor, its
easy-drawing filter, its subtly blended tastiness, its refreshing
mildness, its ineffable excellence, its soft pack or flip-top b o x -
Why, it is a prospect to break the heart in twain!
Marlboro-less and miserable, Happy Jack tried to get more
money from home. He wrote long, impassioned letters, pointing
out that the modern, large-capacity girl simply could not be
courted on his meager allowance. But all Jack got back from
Mmii^Mwlk^QildM^rdlb^MC^
home were tiresome homilies about thrift and prudence.
Then one dark day a sinister sophomore came up to Jack
and said, "For one dollar I will sell you a list of fiendishly clever
lies to tell your father when you need some extra money."
He gave Jack the list of fiendishly clever lies. Jack read:
1. A bunch of us fellows are getting together to buy a new
house for the Dean of Men.
2. A bunch of us fellows are getting together to buy a headstone
for Rover, our late beloved dormitory watchdog.
3. A bunch of us fellows are getting together to endow a chair
of Etruscan Art.
4. A bunch of us fellows are getting together to build our
own particle accelerator.
For a moment poor Jack was tempted; surely his father could
not but support all these laudable causes. Then Jack's good
upbringing came to the fore. He turned to the sinister sophomore
and said, "No, thank you. I could not deceive my aged
parent so. And as for you, sir, I can only say—fie!"
Upon hearing this the sinister sophomore broke into a huge
grin. He whipped off his black hat and pasty face—and who
do you think it was? None other than Mr. Sigafoos, Happy
Jack's father, that's who!
"Good lad!" cried Mr. Sigafoos. "You have passed your
test brilliantly." With that he gave Happy Jack a half million
dollars in small bills and a red convertible containing power
steering and four nubile maidens.
Crime does not pay I © i962 M » shuimu
Money and girls haven't changed Happy Jack. Except for
the minor bulge in his cashmere jacket caused by (I) a pack
of Marlboros and (2) a box of Marlboros, he's the same old
Sigafoos,

Another Successful Season Gone-
/ Well it's another succesful basketball season's end for Coach Joel
Eaves. This year the Tigers, under his guidance, posted their third
best record in recent years. They won 18 and lost six in their rebuilding
year. This was good enough for second .runner-up in thle Southeast,
almost good enough for Auburn's first trip to the NCAA Championship
games as the league's representative. One big game made
the difference, but of course, that's neither here nor there at the
present time.
There will be other years when the Tigers are good and may I
suggest the next two or three as excellent possibilities. With only one
member.of the starting five for this year graduating the tavesrfen
should be "ready and raring to go" come the new season. Of course
as is always the case in today's game of basketball the Tigers won't
be by themselves with talent laden squads. This year's conference
champs, the Maroons of Mississippi State, will retain all of the regulars
from this year's team.
Also the second place team, Kentucky, will have the heralded
Cotton Nash back.for another couple of years along with various
other goodies from Coach Adolph's grab bag. The Tigers won't have
an easy time of it next year. That can be said will all amount of certainty.
—Next Season 'Interesting'
Coach Eaves sees the next season as an "interesting" one and
feels his boys have gained much of the needed experience and inter-
; i !,«,„,.,. jects that "with some top prospects
coming up from Coach
Porter Gilbert's' freshman team,
plus red-shirt Curt O'Danials,
we should be able to pretty well
hold our own next year."
Mr. Eaves, you held you own
this year!
The injury to Billy Tinker's
knee last Saturday aganist Alabama
will most likely mean an
ensuing operation. Tinker, one of
Auburn's junior guards, sustained
the injury in the first half of
the game and rehurt himself
early in the second stanza. Preliminary
examinations by trainer
Kenny Howard found the injury
to be a torn cartilage. Further
examinations were to be
conducted in Columbus yesterday
to determine the extent of
BILLY TINKER the jinfirmity and to decide what
what corrective measures need to be, taken
—Top Talent In Sugar Bowl
Houston and Xavier of Ohio have accepted invitations to participate
in the Sugar Bowl Basketball Tournament next December along
with Auburn and Mississippi State, the defending champs. This should
produce some first-class basketball for the annual affair.
Houston posted a 21-5 mark this year and all five starters of
this year's squad will be back for another year. Xavier's record is
13-9 but the Musketeers play one of the most exciting collegiate
schedules in the country each year.
Finals have beset me along with the rest of the unfortunate college
students on this campi, so until next quarter . . .
ATO's, Sharks Take IM Cage Crowns;
Leagues Set For Spring Quarter Sports
BY TOMMY HARMON
ATO has done it again. For the
third straight year they are the
Fraternity Basketball Champions.
After walking through their
league games undefeated, the
ATO's blazed their way past PKT
and SN to take the first honors
in cage play this year.
During the first round of the
double elimination playoffs, ATO
defeated SN while PKT downed
SPE. The second round saw ATO
over PKT and SN retired SPE to
fourth place. The third round
gave ATO a rest while SN and
PKT fought for the right to challenge
ATO in the finals. SN defeated
PKT, 55-50, to gain another
chance at the undefeated
ATO's, and then saw their dreams
smashed Tuesday night by the
score of 54-51.
In the independent league, the
Sharks downed the Auburn Five
and the BSU to take the round-ball
title. Dempsey led the Sharks

Auburn Accepts
Tournament Bid
From Sugar Bowl
Auburn will be in the Sugar
Bowl spotlight next December
28 and 29 when they will participate
in the annual Sugar Bowl
Basketball Tournament with Mississippi
State, Houston and Xavier
of Ohio.
The Tigers accepted an invitation
to play in the tourney last
wetek before putting finishing
touches on an 18-6 season. ,
Coach Joel Eaves will lose only
one, starter from this season's
"rebuilding year" team. With men
returning like Layton Johns, Larry
Chapman, Mack Kirkland and
John Blackwell-and with a fine
group of freshmen, the Tigers
figure to be a strong contender
to take the tournament and the
SEC title.
The rest of the field, w h i ch
will compete down in New Orleans,
however, will include some
of the nation's top teams. Mississippi
State is returning intact
a squad which swept to the SEC
title with only a single loss on
their record. The All-SEC men,
Jo Dan Gold and Leland Mitchell
will be back in the Bulldog fold
for another season.
Independent Houston likewise
will be strong. The Cougers don't
lose a man off a squad which defeated
Auburn by five points and
which will travel to this year's
NIT tournament. Houston has a
22-5 record on the season.
The remaining team, Xavier,
will be in contention with most
of a team that lost by only two
points to the defending national
champions, Cincinnati.
The two-day meet is part of a
week of sporting events leading
up to the "gridiron Sugar Bowl on
New Year's Day.

Baseball will shortly be u p on

in Tallahassee against Florida

ficially named the Auburn starters;
however there are indications
that Jim Boyd or Joe Overton
will be pitching to Vic Seveat-ley.
Bill Brakefield at first base,
Jim Martin at second, Otis Bibb
shortstop, and Wayne Flower at
third will probably be backed by
Larry Nichols, Richard Seamond,
and Jim Bachus in the outfield.
Coach Danny Lytwaller of FSU
also failed to release a line-up;

the plans.

DOYLE JONES
The superb ballhandling by
John Blackwell has been the
spark of the Tigers' defense on
the hardwood this season. John
has spurred the Plainmen on to
victory several times with a vicious
defensive attack.
The 6-1, 200 pound sophomore
hails from Scottsboro. There he
played football, basketball and
baseball, lettering in football for
three years. Although an all-around
athlete, John took a basketball
scholarship and came to
Auburn to play for Coach Joel
Eaves' Tigers.
John averaged 17 points per
game his senior year in high
school establishing himself as a
potentially great player. During
John's high school days, Scottsboro
had occasion to play their
arch-rivals, Pisgah, Billy Tinker's
high school team. Fortunately for
Auburn, they both are on the
same side of the basketball court
now.
John attributes his sharp defensive
ability to "just luck."
John's freshman year at Auburn

Tigers Break Record
On Defensive Work
Marching to the third-best record
ever posted by a Joel Eaves-coached
team, Auburn's young
basketball Tigers posted the finest
defensive mark" in the school's
history, final statistics reveal.
Auburn's 18-6 for the season
allowed only 52.3 points per
game. Previous low was a 55.5
chart.compiled by the 1950 team.
Expected to be in the rebuilding
process this year, Auburn
combined this sticky defense with
the rebounding and scoring of big
Layton Johns, an all-SEC second
team selection, and typical all-around
balance found on all
Eaves' clubs to surprise everybody.
The Tigers captured the Birmingham
Classic title and with a
11-3 record finished third in the
SEC behind Mississippi State and
Kentucky. All three Auburn conference
losses came by three-point
margins.
"This has been one of the most
pleasing teams to coach since I've
been at Auburn," said Eaves.
"They knew they had a lot to.
learn and always gave it everything,
in practice or games. Certainly,
you couldn't ask for more
6—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, March 9, 1962
out of a bunch of kids than these
boys gave us this year."
Johns led all scorers with an
average of 15.7, and was the top
rebounder with 270. He ranks
third in the nation in field-goal
accuracy and 14th in rebounding.
The Auburn Tigers closed out
the 1961-62 cage season with a
62-49 victory over the University
of Alabama in Montgomery
Saturday night.

NCAA tournament, but home
state objections to the team's
playing' in an integrated tournament
forced the Bulldogs to decline
the invitation.
According to SEC Commissioner
Bernie Moore, Kentucky has
been invited to represent the conference
in the NCAA and their
acceptance is a mere formality.
The Auburn Tigers were in
strong contention for a berth in
the tournament until last week
when the Wildcats defeated the
Tigers in a showdown game in
Auburn by the score of 63-60.
The Tigers have clinched third
place in conference standings.
Kentucky nailed down at least
sole possession of second place
in the SEC when they blasted
Tulane 97-72 Monday night. Cotton
Nash was his usual self as
he hit for 31 points in the Wildcat
victory and he got his usual
bowling title.
Plans for spring quarter include
softball, badminton, tennis
singles and doubles, and archery.
The Dophin show will be given

Kirwin with 21.
Kentucky may still share the
conference title with Mississippi
State if they defeat Tennessee
on Saturday.
In games played Saturday
night, the Auburn Tigers toppled
Alabama, 62-49; Mississippi State
stopped Mississippi, 63-58; Vanderbilt
defeated Georgia Tech,
88-74; Tulane edged Tennessee,
83-81; and Florida swamped
Georgia, 105-78.
Auburn utilized their superior
rebounding strength and fine
shooting by all-SEC Layton
Johns and guard Larry Chapman
to down the Crimson Tide. Cold
in the first half, the Tigers were
just the opposite in the second
half and rushed out to a 42-33
lead early in the half and Alabama
never came close.
Johns and Chapman led the
Tigers scoring with 16 points
apiece. Berry was high for the
Tide with 16.
Mississippi State was hard
pressed to win from the Ole Miss
Rebels, but using the fast break
and a full-court press the Bulldogs
were finally able to pull the
game out and assure themselves
of at least a tie for the SEC
championship.
Gold was the leading scorer for
State with 16 points followed by
Shows with 14. Edmonds was
high for the Rebels, pouring in 20
points.
Big Cliff Luyk, playing probably
his finest game, poured in
36 points in the Gators' win over
Georgia. The lanky pivotman also
pulled down 18 rebounds to round
out his college career in fine
fashion.
Johnson was the high scorer
for Georgia with 22 points, followed
by Adamek with 21.
Bobby Bland ripped the nets
for 21 points in leading the Vanderbilt
Commodores past the
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as
each team closed out their regular
season.
Georgia Tech was paced by r e .
serve guard Bill Edison with 14
points and Josh Powell with 13.
The Tennessee Vols scored five
points in the last minute of play
but it was not quite enough to
overtake Tulane. With the game
tied 69-all, Tulane's all-SEC forward
Jim Kerwin broke open the
game with successive- goals to put
the Greenies ahead to stay.
Kerwin was the game's leading
scorer with 32 points. Wilson of
Tennessee was next with 21
points.
The 1961-62 SEC basketball
will officially end Saturday
night when Tennessee meets Kentucky
in Lexington. LSU faces Tulane
in a match on Friday night.
