On 105-90
By United Press International
The Kentucky Wildcats have
always possessed a killer
instinct, but they use it only in
self defense.
The second-ranked Wildcats,
often criticized by Adolph Rupp
for lacking “a killer instinct,"
were forced into a do-or-die
showdown Wednesday night
against the Vanderbilt Commo
dores, who were "out for our
blood,” the Baron warned.
But the Wildcats massacred
third-ranked Vanderbilt 105-90
and just about killed the

Commodores’ chance for a
Southeastern Conference title.
“We have plenty of SEC
hurdles yet,” said Rupp, whose
unbeaten Wildcats still have a
home-and-away series with
tough Tennessee before they
can start planning a trip to the
NCAA tournament in March.
Little Louie Dampier played
the best game of his career by
scoring 42 points and engineer
ing the Kentucky attack. The
Wildcats led 50-39 at halftime
on the hot-shooting of Dampier
and rolled away after intermis-
Thursday, Feb. 3, 1966
sion as Pat Riley (28 points)
found the range.
In another SEC game
Wednesday night, Tulane put
down a second-half surge to de
feat Louisiana State 82-68. Tu
lane’s 7-1 center Craig Spitzer
scored 25 points and grabbed 20
of his team’s 65 rebounds.
Rupp said the victory was
“an exact duplicate” of the
previous game between the two
clubs at Lexington. “We beat
them on the boards,” Rupp
said. “And our shooting per
centages will be about the
same.”
Vanderbilt coach Roy Skinner
said he thought his team play
ed ‘‘pretty well.”
“It was too much Dampier at
first and too much Riley in the
second half,” Skinner said. “We
couldn’t stop them. We tried ev
erything we knew and we
couldn’t stop them”.
The eighth -ranked St.
Joseph’s (Pa.) Hawks, who
could battle Kentucky for the
Eastern NCAA championship in
March, rolled to a 107-89
victory over Boston College.
West Virginia held Davidson
to two points in the final six
minutes rang up a 74 - 65
Southern Conference upset.
During that span the Mountai
neers’ Ron Williams netted nine
points to finish with 24. Dick
Snyder, the nation’s No. 3
scorer, bucketed 30 for David
son.
Bill Melchionni scored 32
points to pace Villanova to an
83-60 triumph over Duquesne.
Elsewhere, Wes Bialosuknia’s
23 points paced Connecticut to
a 90-60 victory over Massa
chusetts and Bowling Green
snapped Miami of Ohio’s 10
game winning streak 74-62,
Penn State-Syracuse and Army
Bucknell were called off
because of snow.

Beaverbrook
Orrs defeated Beaverbrook 26-7
Wednesday in the Bob Cousy

Stev e Jinks scored 10 points

raris to Corvairs and Barracu
das, take their last practice
lap; '’-y beforp qualifying for
this weekend’s 24-hour Daytona
Continental, t'-e nation’s longest

r 'latively few cars took ad
vantage of the first day of
practice Wednesday. Some
were still undei aing technical

last year’s Sebring victory,”
Chapparelle, were not due to
arrive until today.
Ken Miles, who with Lloyd
R"''y, won the Continental in
Ford GT40 prototype when it
was a 14-hour go last year, put
his new Mark H Ford proto
type around the course Wednes

through their fenders.

mph for the •r race over
