TULSA, Okla, June 30. - The
Phillips Oilers and the University
of Kentucky Wildcats, America S
mightiest amateur basket ball teams,
meet here tonight in the first Of
a three-game pre-Olympic exhibi-
ton series.
The second game will be played
at Kansas City Friday night, and
the third will have a Lexington,
KY, setting July 8.
Tonight's clash, expected to draw
a capacity 1000 crowd to the fair
grounds pavilion, will be the second
meeting between the Oilers, AAU
champions for several years, and
the college team rated by many as
the greatest in years.
Phillips edged the Kentuckians,
53-49, in the final game Of the
Olympic trials last March in Madi-
son Square Garden.
The older more seasoned AAU
team did the trick mainly on the
basket shooting of Bob Kurland, the
seven-foot former Oklahoma A. &

scoring duel with Kentucky's speedy
Ralph Beard, who racked up %.

one of them to extend his con-
