Gentlemen:

A few days ago ny hus-
band and / arrived in Chris
tiansted expecting to have
many days Of the peace and
quiet your publicity had led
US to expect. AS you can see
from the heading of this let
ter we left after just about
So hours
The reason for leaving?
Dogs. Our first night was
such a sleepless horror Of how
ling and barking dogs that in
spite Of the most gracious and
welcoming hospitality and
reasonable rates We simply
could not risk our vacation
in such a noisy place.
It is hard to believe that
you cannot control this situa-
ton. / suggest that some OF
the money and thought used
to bring tourists to your love-
" island be converted to stop
ping this menace. Until then
we at least, will give St. Croix
and Christiansted a wide
berth.
Sincerely,

Rupp looked to the bench and
came up with Billy Smith. g.
foot-5 sophomore. Smith dogged
Kessler's every footstep and from
the time he put the Terps ahead
at 54-51, Bob added just one
foul shot. Smith didn't make a
point, but he was the stopper
Kessler particularly was mag
niflcent in a brilliant 1l-point
burst in the second half.
Kentucky was leading, 1887
when Kessler scored on a jump.
He drove in for another. and
then tied the score for the first
time when he drove under the
basket, missed, then plucked the
ball OF the board and rammed
1t through.
He added q foul, then again
dribbled through after q nice
fake, missed and scored on the
rebound Of his own shot. The
crowd was in a other when he
came back with another jump,
but Drew Schaufler's rebound
broke KesSler's streak.
Kentucky Slows Down
Rupp, whose team led most Of
the way, was fairly composed on
the bench during the game. and
completely at ease afterward, al
though he remained In the dress
ing room with the players for
more than 20 minutes.
He said he felt that the game
went just about as he figured.
He said he wasn't satisfied. and
added, But when is basketball
coach satisfied"
Rupp said his team would have
won much easier had 1t kept
running. The fast break helped
the Wildcats to their 20-8 lead,
but then they slowed up, and
Kessler and O,Brien started
the climb. Kentucky didn't start
to run again until Maryland drew
ahead.
Kentucky had its best shoot
ing percentage Of the season.
37.6, but committed too many
errors to suit the coach. The
Wildcats threw the bali away Is
times In the first half.
Rupp said he believed both
Kentucky and Maryland would
