Title In Sight
Countdown Starts
For Pete Maravich
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPl)—lt’s time
to start the countdown on
“Pistol” Pete Maravich’s as
cent to the peak of college
basketball.
The I Louisiana State senior,
returning to action Saturday
after a two-week, mid-term
exam layoff, needs only 124
points to supplant Oscar
Robertson as the No. 1 all-time
major college scorer in the long
history of the game.
First, the lanky Maravich
needs 35 points in Saturday’s
game against 2nd-ranked, un
beaten Kentucky (at Lexington,
Ky.) to edge into the No. 2 spot
ahead of Elvin Hayes who
scored 2,884 points during his
three years at the University of
Houston.
That goal seems fair enough.
In four previous appearances
against the vaunted Wildcats,
“Pistol Pete” averaged 48.3 ppg

—scoring 52, 44, 52 and 45
points respectively.
However, Maravich is expect
ed to be slowed down in his
next game—against Tennessee
at Baton Rouge, La., on
Monday. The defensive-minded
Vols have always held Pete to
less than half his average
holding him to 21, 17, 21 and 20
points.
But, the very next weekend
should see Maravich vault past
Robertson, who scored 2,973
points for Cincinnati. Ole Miss
will be in Baton Rouge on
Saturday, Jan. 31, and Missis
sippi State follows on Monday.
Pete has averaged 43.3 ppg in
eight games against those two
teams.
Maravich, with his present
47.0 ppg pace, is scoring at a
higher clip as a senior than he
did in his record-setting sopho
more (43.8) and junior (44.2)
seasons. If he maintains his
previous average against LSU’s
next four foes, he’ll become the
first major college player ever
to reach the 3,000-point plateau
—and with at least a dozen
more games left to play.
Although Maravich figures to
wind up with more than 3,500
points, he won’t actually be the
highest scorer in college
basketball. That honor belongs
to a small college player—Bob
Hopkins who scored 3,759 points
in four seasons (1953-56) at
Grambling, which, coincidental
ly, is also located in Louisiana.
Hopkins wasn’t in Maravich’s
class as a scorer. His career
average was 29.8 ppg—almost
15 points below Pete—and he
owes his high total to having
played 126 games, 48 more than
Maravich will have played at
the end of the regular season.
A note of interest for those
folks who think of “Pistol Pete"
only as a scorer: Maravich
leads the Southeastern Confer
ence in assists.
There’s only one game
involving a major Southeast
team tonight. That’s at Talla
hassee, Fla., where Florida
State, an independent with a
fine 12-2 record, will be host to
Clemson.
Friday’s lone game finds
Miami (Fla.) at Florida South
ern.
The Southeastern Conference
returns to full action Saturday
with, of course, the headliner at
where Maravich goes
for points and the Kentucky
Wildcats, challenging UCLA for
the nation’s top ranking, are
favored to post their 14th
straight victory.
In other SEC games, Auburn
will be at Vanderbilt, Florida at
Mississippi State, Georgia at
Ole Miss and Alabama at
Tennessee.
Among the independents,
Florida State will be at Georgia
Tech and Miami at Stetson.
Sixth-ranked Jacksonville
(Fla.) University, idle since
raising its record to 13-0 a week
ago, doesn’t play again until
next Tuesday when the Dol
phins will be at Florida State in
a showdown battle between the
South’s two best independents.

Oglesby was pleased with the
