DE PAUL RATED
 7POINT CHOICE OVER OKLAHOMA
By ROBERT DETNDORFER United Press Stan Correspondent

By ROBERT DEhNDOhFEH United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, March 29.-(UP)- Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma A. & Ms new N.C.A.A. basketball champions said today he would rely on his recently devised "cup de- fense" to stop George Mikan and DePaul's Blue Demons in tonight's Red Cross game for the mythical national title.
 Although Mikan up to now has been impervious to practically any kind of barrier except four strand barbed-wire fence, Iba thinks his cowboys may have the technique to turn the trick.
 "At any rate we are glad to get another chance at DePaul," Jba said, recalling that the Demons were 48 to 46 victors in a game early in the season at Chicago. At that time the Cowboys didn't have their top forward, Cecil Hankins, who was with the A & M football team in the Cotton Bowl game.
 Iba, explaining his "cup defense" which revolves around seven-foot center Bob Kurland, said that it worked excellently against New York university in Tuesdays vic- tory which gave the Aggies the NCA.A. title.
 Whenever an opposing player gets the ball, the Aggies put two men on him until he disposes of it.
 Tn that way, they get the ball but they can't do anything with it." Iba said. Frequently they lose it because our cup defense prevents a pass out. Whether we can work it to stop Mikan is something we'll just have to wait and see, but we can try it anyway"
 Despite A & Ms admittedly stout defense, DePaul was a seven point favorite, mainly because of the fec- ord breaking Mikan, who averaged 40 points per game in his first three tournament tests here The big Joliet, H., youngsters, who set a new collegiate national mark by mak- ing 53 points against Rhode Island, may be slowed down by Kurland, however, who is a great defensive star. Moreover, Mikan may have plenty to occupy him in stopping Kurland's own scoring efforts. The Aggie center from Jennings, Mo-, made 9 points in the victory over N.YU. in addition to being the play maker.
 A comparison of records for the season reveals a definite edge for DePaul on offense. The Demons have an average of 60 points per game against 51.3 for the Aggies. Defensively, however, the reverse is true. The Aggies have held their opponents to an average of 32.48 points for game while DePaulS average is 41,2.

CINCINNATPS REDS SHAKYFOR
 FIRST DIVISION
(EditOrs-This Is the third In a series on the 1945 prospects of the major league baseball teams.)
By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports EditOr)

NOhSCu AECSo OPOhOo 68AsOhJ
 New York, March 29- UP) A lot of things have happened to the Cincinnati Reds since they finished the 1944 National league season in third place and the road ahead looks anything but rosy to Deacon Bill McKechnie.
 Pitchers Clyde Shoun, Harry Gumbert, Jim Konstantly and Tommy De la Cruz, all regular starters; Ray Mueller, the 'iron man" catcher, and Outfielders Frank Kelleher and Estel Crabtree have been lost to the club. Pitchers Ed Heusser and Elmer Riddle; First Baseman Frank Mccormick and Shortstop Eddie Miller may be added to the list. If they are, the Reds will take on definite second division complex.
 Heusser, who had the best earned run average in the league last year, has a war plant job and is unde- cided whether to play baseball: riddle, who was out most of last season with sore arm, reports his wing in good shape" but said he was uncertain whether he would report; Miller had his injured knee operated on and will not be avail. able until the season is well under way and then may be inducted, and Mccormick, previously 4-F, has taken another physical and is awaiting a final report.
 The situation looked so dark to Manager McKechnie that he went out and signed two 42-year-old and one 41-year-old pitchers. He also has a deaf mute trying to win a place in the outf1eld.
 Bucky Walters, who led the Ma tional league pitchers in victories with g last season, again will anchor the hurling staff with Heusser and Riddle also counted upon for starting duty if they re- port. Arnold Carter and two rockies Bob Ferguson and Howard Fox, both up from Birmingham where they won 13 and 19 games, respec- lively, last season, also are being groomed for regular turns.
 Among the hurling prospects arc Frank Dasso, who won 20 games for San Diego; Gene Hinrichs, who was in the Army last year; Joseph Nuxall, a 17-year-old; Herman Wehmeirer, signed from the sand- lots, and John Orphal, who won only seven games while losing 15 with Birmingham last year.
 Then there are those three kids" -Gpy Bush, once a star with the Chicago Cubs; Hod Lisenbee, who has been knocking around the majors and minors a long time without much success, and Walter CBoom Boom) Beck, let out by the Detroit Tigers. Deacon Bill figures that if things get too bad they may earn their keep as relief pitchers. Bush and Lisenbee admit to 42 years, Beck to 41.
 Catching is problem too, for Mueller caught all games last year with his understudy, Joe just, get ting in only II, most of them for only a few innings Al Lakeman, up from Syracuse where he hit .295 last year, probably will won the No. spot with just and John Riddle, who was with Birmingham last year, as reserves. Russell Kerns, a rookie from Nashville, also is trying for a place.
 If Miller and Mccormick return the infield will be fairly well set with Steve Mesner back at third
