United Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK up = This may come as surprise to the
average basketball FAM but astute Ed Hickey of ST. Louis
University rates mighty Kentucky better than third
in the current collegiate basketball scramble.
The sentiment throughout the nation among those
after years absence from the collegiate court scene
would be the scourge of the hardwood Hickey admits that
it is really fine team.
Hckey's arguments provocative and his reasons
sound like this:
Kentucky has a power team spanked by the big
three of Cliff Hagan Frank Ramsey and Lou TSioropoulos
= with the Gorgeous Greek the teams most improv
ed player Hickey explains But Kentucky isn't very
deep and isn't an outcourt team.
"Duquesne has a better beIecn and more speed end
overall ability he adds "Hagan at 6-fee 4-inches is not
tall enough for of the teams Kentucky will have to
meet He great competitor but doesn't have the height
the boards which is Why on neutral court I'd have
to favor Duquesne."
But Hickey evaluates, Indiana is the class of the
ton barring "senioritis"
ALL-vET TEAM
Indiana is an al-veteran team and great offensive
y he said Il would say is the fastest team and it
keeps its desire to win, should be the best"
In the current United Press weekly ratings Kentucky
holds the No. spot with Indiana second and Duquesne
third Hickey is of the 35 outstanding coaches who
make up the United Press rating board.
Hickey made these observations as Duquesne prepar-
ed to meet Niagara tonight in the finals of the Madison
Square Garden Holiday Festival, where Brigham Young
faces LaSalle IN consolation game.
SENI-FINALS
But victory figured to be small Solace to Kenny
Loeffler the LaSalle coach who embroled in run
ming argument with New York sporswriters his tao
tics in semi-final loss to Niagara
Loeffler faulted for using zone defense and for
keeping his STAR Tom Cola under the boards on ofenSe
instead OF outside from where he is effective Irate
Loeffer attacked the sporSwriterS masters of hall
truths ad said he had to the to keep Cola from
oulng out in man-to-man play and used Cola inside to
help control the boards
The only light moment after that writers agreed to
let the coaches do the coaching came when Stan Watts
OF Brigham Young allowed that his team had been guilty
OF a Pony Express" style of play.
That grinned Watts, sis some thing like Post Of
flee = only there's little more horsing around!"
All those who want to play this game say "aye"
and the line forms right here!

with an early 18th century
home. Until its restoration
in the early 1940S, Davis House
possessed a separated kitchen
with fireplace at the right of
the present chimney, features
seldom found today. West
ward, toward Baden, the
Horse Head Tavern was going
to ruin when recorded by the
Survey. Today, it is a house
of distinction whose great
chimneys bespeak early Mary
land building above average.
Near Groom, one Of Mary
lands best d0cumented homes
has been changed from a roof
less ruin to a distinguished
house of mansion proportions.
Bellefield, or Sims Delight,
dates from 1725. The vicissi-
tudeS of time had dealt un-
kindly with it in its second
century; storms or cattle had
ruined most of its lockwood
and vandals had destroyed its
grave markers. The heavy
hand of 225 years could not
destroy its basic character,
however. It towers once more
above its rolling countryside
in splendid isolation.
In the Capitol Heights
vicinity, independence again
has come into its own. Late
18th century" the Survey
Catalog says, and while not of
the mansion group, this old
Berry home, which left the
Evening star., 1953-08-16

family for a generation, is
once more Berry property,
beautifully restored by SYM
pathetic hands.
North of here, in the Land
over vicinity, Is Beall's Pleas
ure, country home of Benja-
min Stoddert, first Secretary
of the Navy. It has never
been near extinction, as have
so many Of these 18th century
places, but the II years since
the Survey have seen the
house modernized and refined
to the point that it is no
longer a plain building in the
country notable for its great
age.
These are not isolated in
stances, these "restorations-
in-time." All of the places
cited, however, have historic
as well as architectural in
terest. The story could be
expanded many times over,
but its important theme is
the reawakening Of interest
on the part of Marylanders.
Since the Federal Survey, 10
noted structures of 18th CEN
tury origin have disappeared
from Prince Georges alone.
We can take some solace,
though, in the apparent de-
termination that no more
shall be lost. These are our
early culture, and their i'm
portance for that reason,
alone, cannot be taken lightly.

A Confession
About J0rdan's
Smoked Bacon

For a long time, smoking
machines have been in general
use for smoking bacon. We con-
feSs that some years ago we
bought one for smoking Jordan's
Old Fashioned Virginia Bacon. 1t
turned out to be a time and labor
saving machine that fits in nicely
with modern mass production
methods-but not at all with
Jordan's c~entury-old traditions.
We soon went back to smoking
our bacon the old fashioned way
over fires kept going by hand,
day ard night.
There are some things you
can't hurry-and Jordan'S Old
Fashioned Virginia Bacon-dry
cured in salt and sugar for 10 to
II days, smoked over hickory until
the juices drip and pungent smoke
permeateS the meats one of
them. Look for Jordan'S Old
Fashioned Virginia Bacon-in
boreS.
