The streak was broken last
Saturday In Covington. Grady

Vols Making Shambles
Of Pre-Season Picks
By DAVID M. MOFFIT
ATLANTA fUPI) - The ora
cles who relegated Tennessee to
the mid-region of the Southeast
ern Conference in their pre
season prognostications should
recheck their crystal balls: It
looks like the Vols may win
their first basketball title in 24
years.
No one can be blamed for
figuring the Vols wouldn’t be
contenders this year. After all,
they lost four of their top six
men from last year’s team that
tied for third in the conference,
It was expected that forward

Ron Widby would be outstand

y ear - Tom Hendrix, the other
forward, was a returning start

But that still left three big

tosh. Thus, went the figuring,
the Vols had to be rebuilding
this year,
But that figuring didn’t allow
for the suden emergence of
7-foot Tom Boerwinkle or the
quick maturity of two sopho
more guards, Bin Justus and
Bill Hann.
Faith in Boerwinkle
Tennessee coach Ray Mears
had a faith in the towering
Boerwinkle that few shared but
which is now paying off as the
13th-ranked Vols have moved
into the favorite’s role in the
SEC.
The 250-pound Boerwinkle was
rated, while in high school, at
Independence, Ohio, as being
neither fast enough or agile e
nough to play college basket
Few schools other than
Tennessee showed any Interest
him.
Boerwinkle the sophomore
was far from impressive. He
averages less than four points
and four rebounds per game de
spite being the biggest man in
the conference.
But what a difference a year
has made. Now Boerwinkle
leads the SBC in rebounding
and he has become a consistent
<»•» scorer - Mears {i S ures he
was the balance of power when
Tennessee recently took back-to
back wins over Florida which
has three men 6-foot-9 or taller.

Tennessee is far from being
home free in the SEC cage
race. There’s still the matter of
8th-ranked Vanderbilt, current
SEC co-leader, to be contended
with.
Edge With Vols
But the edge appears to be
with the Vols. Vandy beat Ten
nessee by only six points (65-59)
on its home court three weeks
ago and their return maatch
(Feb. 18) will be on the Vols’
court.
Defensive - minded Tennessee
(the Vols have given up an av
erage of less than 54 points per
game) are especially tough at
home. They've lost only one
conference game there in the
past three years.
Tlie Vols, who played a non
conference game last night with
independent Georgia Tech, will
be at Mississippi Saturday.
Vanderbilt, wnose 13-2 over-all
record leads this region, faces
a sterner test in a visit to Flori
