|LSU Comes From
Behind To Nip
Georgia Monday
RY The Assoeiatad Press

Two teams with the ability to
come from behind prevented Geor-
gia and Mississippi from entering
the Southeastern Conference bas-
ketball winners circle last night.
Louisiana State, which seems
intent on taking the 1853 SEC
title in a runaway, overcame a
27-24 halftime deficit to hand Geor-
gia its fourth conference defeat.
LSU is undefeated in five SEC
games.
Alabama put down a fourth
period uprising by Mississippi, re-
gained the lead in the last two
minutes, and whipped the Rebels
60-54. It was Ole Miss fifth con-
secutive SEC loss.
Both LSU and Mississippi were
without the services of their stars,
Bob Petit and Bob Jarvis, repec-
lively. Jarvis is the top scorer in
the Conference and Petit is second.
The only change the results made
in the standings was Alabama's
advance from a two-way tie for
seventh place to three-way tie
for sixth. 'Bama now has a 3-3
Conference record.
With Petit still hospitalized with
virus pneumonia, Norman Magee
took scoring honors for LSU with
20 points. Georgia's Zippy Morocco
had 10.
Jerry Harper, Alabama's lanky
freshman center, was high man
with % points against Mississippi.
A bad knee kept Jarvis out of the
game and Ralph Ross took scoring
honors for Ole Miss with IA points.
No games are scheduled tonight.
Georgia and Auburn meet Wednes-
day night for the third time. Au-

NEW YORK R-Seton Hall, the

No. team in the country today
thanks to its latest winning streak.
Basketball fans with long memo

gave the Pirates us points, on a
basis of 10 for first, 8 for second,
etc.
Seton Hall, moving up gradually
from fourth place in the first poll
displaced Kansas State at the top
after the Midwesterners had held
sway for three weeks. Kansas
State had ousted La Sale, which
ruled the roost for the first two
weeks.
La Sale, incidentally, was the
last team to beat Seton Hall. The

he seriously doubts" that former

Walcott will ever fight again.

He did not further explain his
reference to Walcott who is listsed
in most ring books as being 50,
but has been fighting for many
years.
The hint as to Jersey Joe's future
prospects came during discussion
of the recent order by the New
