DURHAM, N. c., Feb. 16.-The
Duke Basketball information book
says history major" in it's per-
sonality sketch of Dick Groat.
And the swisher from Swissvale
o Pittsburgh suburb, Is making
considerable history on his own.
A compact 180-pound 6-footer
who seems small In this day of the
basketball giant, Groat has re-
written the Duke record books. He
Is adding to his feats with every
point he scores in a one-man cam
paign to qualify $3.50 Duke team
for next months Southern Con-
ference tournament at Raleigh.
Playing from a guard position,
the flashy junior has ranked with
the top 10 scorers of the Nation
for weeks, usually in the upper
half of that bracket. Through 26
games he has scored 648 points
for 24.9 average.
200 Above Duke Record.
That's some 200 points more
than any other Duke player ever
scored in a single season. His
% points against Washington and
Lee Tuesday night put him ahead
of Sam Ranzino of neighboring
North Carolina State in the mat
ter of total points in one season
by a player at one of the States
major colleges.
Around here they tell you
Groat's real sports future lies in
baseball. He's an eye-catching
shortstop who can hit. He

end of the last basketball season

dropped six decisions in 40 fights.
The 10 pm. bout will be broad
cast and telecast.
Radio and TV listeners won't
get the two eight-round bouts
which will show a pair of fine
prospects.
Welter Prospect Gets Test.
In the first eight, Chico (the
Commuter) Vejar, crack, unbeaten
Stamford Conn schoolboy, guns
for his 25th straight victory
against Joe Atria, a rugged New
York welterweight.
Vejar, who has had the benefit
OF some private coaching from
Sugar Ray Robinson, is rated the
best welter prospect in these parts.
The semifnal eight features the
turning point bout for Coley Wal
lace, the undefeated New York
heavyweight who looks like Joe
Louis-facially. anyway. The ex-
Golden Gloves champion, with 10
victories behind him, steps out
against seasoned Vern Mitchell
of Detroit. If Wallace can beat
Mitchell. he'll be ready to move
against fast company.

and for while it appeared that
he might accept one of those
fancy offers the Dodgers and
other major league clubs were
dangling.
Groat says he can't decide be-
tween the two sports. II like
them both in season." is the way
he puts it.
Hit IL Fouls in q Row.
Groat'S accuracy from the foul
line is a major factor in his point
production. In one game he hit
II in a row. His driving style
draws fouls and he makes the
most of his chances. His ZIG
fouls in 268 attempts already has
given him new National record
The old Duke individual one
game scoring record was 80 points
Groat has. already broken that
record seven times. In Is games
he's failed only five times to hit
for at least 20 points.
His lowest performance was an
11-point job against Canisius at
Buffalo last month.
A game that typified his driving,
determined play was the Tulane
contest. a consolation affair in
the Dixie Classic Tournament at
Raleigh during the Christmas
holidays. Tulane led by 56-27 at
the half and seemed ready to run
Duke right out of Reynolds Coli
scum. But Groat never gave up.
He started hitting his driving lay
ups and push shots and soon the
whole Duke team caught fire.
Trailing at one time by 20 points,
Duke finally won the game, 74-72,
with Groat bagging 80 points.

go through.
Buildup From Kearns.
Maxim said he's used to fighting
as a heavyweight, but could get
down to ITS pounds and still set
the pace with welterweight."
Kearns spoke admiringly of
Robinson's fighting ability and
added:
Robinson is the type of fighter
who can make the Qight heavy
weight. He's big enough. He's
tall. He's rangy. He's got the
reach. He could put on a few
pounds and probably it would help
his punch. There's been fighters
who fought all the way from mid
dleweight to heavyweight, and
figure Robinson is one of the guys
that can do it,
With this buildup from the op-
position, Sugar Ray apparently
stood a good chance of a future
meeting with Maxim - although
LaMotta or Charles may drop
