Bee Claims No Team
Could Beat Arizona
On lis Home Floor
BY the Assccioted Press


NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Long
Island University's touring basket
ball forces are finding their 5000
mile road trip mighty rocky; not
at all like playing at home, where
they have won 139 straight games.
The Blackbirds have won once
and lost twice on the current
sWing-the two setbacks coming by
total margin of only 3 points.
But perhaps the worst is yet to
come, as LIU plays Kansas State
tomorrow night and st. Louis
Saturday.
Arizona staged a brilliant rally
last night to nip Long Island, g.
81, at Tucson. Jerry Dillon's free
toss in the waning seconds en-
abled Arizona to extend its home
floor string to 73 consecutive
victories.
Bee Blasts Officiating.
After the game, Clair Bee, LIU's
veteran coach. took a rap at the
officials, claiming they took the
ball game away from us just as
every one on the Coast said they
would"
Bee was particularly irked be-
cause his high-scoring ace, Sher-
man White. was forced out of the
game on fouls with IL minutes to
go. "If I had the best team in the
Nation, couldn't beat Arizona on
this floor in Tucson" the LIU
coach said.
The loss of White undoubtedly
hurt the Rlackbirds. LIU was in
front, 55-44, when White, one of
the Nations leading scorers, was
waved to the sidelines. From that
point on, Arizona was in complete
command.
Two field goals by Arizona's Leo
johnson tied the score at 61-61
before Dillon delivered his game
winning toss. With about six sec
onds to go LIU's Ray Felix blew a
chance to tie it up when he missed
a foul shot. Felix was the games
higher scorer, with "a markers,
but he missed the biggest point of
all.
During the game, 19 personal
fouls were called against LIU play
ers, while "a were charged to Ari-
zona. Coach Fred Enke, sr., re-
fused to comment on Bees
charges.
Kentucky Goes to Town.
Meanwhile. Kentucky, ranked
No. l in this weeks Associated
Press poll, blasted Tulane, 104-68,
in Southeastern Conference
game at New Orleans. It marked
the first time in Kentucky's At
year history of basketball that the
Wildcats cleared the Hotpoint
mark.
Kentucky. spanked by little
Bobby Watson and towering Bill
Spivey. bolted to a 61-37 halftime
lead in winning it's ninth straight
game. Watson connected with 27
points, while Spivey hit for 25.
With another full month be-
fore the big tournaments begin,
Kentucky and Oklahoma A. and
M. appear due for a battle right
down to the wire for the top
ranking. The Wildcats margin
over the Aggies in the latest AP
poll was only 10 votes.
With 1873 sports writer's and
broadcasters voting in this weeks
poll, Kentucky received ~ first
place votes and Oklahoma A. and
M. 81. The Aggies, with an 1871
record, were third last week, be-
hind LIU, which dropped to No. 4
even before last nights loss to
Arizona.

Until this year." he said, I'VE

who saved the people millions by
ferreting out that military waste.
Unfortunately, he quit Congress,

Senator Douglas, Democrat of
Illinois. is sharpening shears for
20 to 80 per cent cut at Presi-
dent Truman's home front spend
ing plans-and incidental ships at
foam-rubber cushions in colonels
limousines, bonded Government
note paper and intradepartmental
'hierarchies competing for tax
dollars.
In an interview yesterday, Sen
ator Douglas doubted the prac-
ticality of a fellow economizer,
Senator Byrd. Democrat of Vir-
ginia, who would trim a net ST
billion from the Presidents ST.
billion budget for 1852. Senator
Byrd would cut the Presidents
81 billion for foreign assistance;
Senator Douglas would leave that
untouched. To Mr.. Truman's SAL
billion for American military
forces. Senator Douglas would add
funds to build-not the 8 Million
man military force sought by the
administration but the 6 million
man defense machine the Senator
deems necessary for national Sc
curity.
"A lot of the new military
money" he said, could come from
military economies. But, forget
ting the $50 billion the President
seeks for security here and
abroad. there is $19 billion more
of proposed nondefense spending
I am sure something between
81 billion and Sc billion of that
could be saved-if Congress is
willing.
