Maryland Trackmen
Among Top Entries
In Relays al VMI
BY fhe Associcted Press

LEXINGTON, Va, Feb. A.
More than $50 track and field
stars from 18 colleges and uni
versities will compete here to-
morrow night in the annual VMI
winter relays.
Field events in the VMI field
house get under way at 7 pm,
as does this years only new
event, the 3-mile run. Relays
begin at 7:30.
Nearly all existing records for
the winter relays and the field
house appear to be in danger.
Maryland's Mel Schwarz, who
holds the fieldhouse pole vault
record of 13 feet 434 inches,
seems a good bet to better his
own mark.
In the shot put, Dukes Dur
ham Lawsche, a small man as
shot putters go, is expected to
smash the f1eldhouse and relays
record of 81 feet "a inches he.
himself. established.
Dukes Joel Shankle is undis-
puted favorite in the high jump.
Shankle has topped 6 feet 4
inches and currently holds the
winter relays standard of g.
feet-2.
Sprinters will have the sprint
medley and sprint shuttle relays
to strut their stuff and David
sons Pete Koonce and Fred
Kitchener give their college a
strong entry. Maryland, North
Carolina and Duke also have
standout dash men. In the mid
die distances, VMI has threat
in Ben Angle. Bill Higginbotham
and Pete McCrary. Maryland
will be anchored by Larry Faass,
indoor Atlantic Coast Conference
half-mile titlist.
Milers will be plentiful with
Burr Grimm of Maryland, Dick
Beatty of North Carolina and
Bobby Jones of North Carolina
State-national high school mile
run champion several years ago
heading the field. Dan Miller
of N. C. State, the ACC two-mile
king. and Ben Good of Maryland
look like the top-flight entries in
the longer run. Good holds the
ACC titles in the outdoor mile
and indoor tWo-mile runs.

Coach Adolph Rupp of Ken
lucky has himself a vote of play
er confidence. whether he needed
it or not
The controversy involving Lin
vile Puckett, starting guard on
the No. l team in the Associated
Press college basketball poll, had
left some loose strings dangling.
Particularly since his departure
from the squad in training rule
squabble with Rupp followed
Georgia Techs second upset of
the Wildcats.
Puckett got off parting shot
about basketball being a matter
of life or death on the Lexing-
ton campus. That left the ques-
ton of whether Puckett was the
only player out of step with
Rupp.
The question was answered
last night as Kentucky rolled
over Florida, 87-63, in what Rupp
termed the Wildcats best effort
in a month.
After Puckett quit the squad
in a huff, he was said by Rupp
to have applied for reinstatement
and been turned down. The
coach said he told Puckett the
situation had gone too far to take
him back.
Puckett, a 6-foot Junior, then
denied that he had asked REIN
statement. II didn't ask him to
put me back on the team" he
said. II just told him I didn't
want to leave the impression
that I quit because I was mad
at him"
AS to violation of training
rules, Puckett said, II broke
training. but I'm not the only
one" He refused to elaborate.
Kentucky worked smoothly
and with finesse in the game
with Florida. It was 1875 at
the half and the Wildcats-who
dropped both games to Georgia
Tech at the foul line-hit on 81
of 80 free throw attempts.
Phil Grawemeyer led the as
salIlt with 20 points. Bob Bur-
row. just recovered from a sinus
infection. Clipped in 16, as did
Capt. Billy Evans.
Puckett's replacement, Gayle
Rose, scored IL in his first start
ing job. Jerry Bird, the other
starter, also hit for IL.
It was Kentucky's 18th victory
in Is games.
Florida, incidentally, was fresh
from an upset of Alabama, the
Southeastern Conference leader.
Kentucky is No. 2 in the league.
In other games, George Wash
ington, No. Z nationally. knocked
off Furman. 76-71; fifth-ranked
Utah won No. 16 with an 81-49
job on Los Angeles State and
Dayton, No. Is. disposed of Muir

Riots in Bombay Touched Off
 By Communists

BOMBAY, India, R-Bornbay seethed in the grip of pitched battle between armed police and stone-throwing demonstrators to- day. Five persons were reported killed, at least 225 wounded, and over 1000 rioters were arrested.
 It was the second successive day of violence touched off by Marathi-speaking Indians with Communist and Socialist backing, protesting Prime Minister Nehru's decision to create a separate Bom- bay city-state out of the big west coast port.
 More than 100 persons were in jured in rioting yesterday. Gangs milled through the streets, stoning buses and trains, barricading the main streets with huge boulders and setting fire to buses.
 The violence exceeded that in last August's anti-Portuguese riots in Bombay.
 Police and home guard forces first wilted under a barrage of stones, then raised their rifles and fired at the Communicated dem- onstrators trying to reach the leg islature building.
 The crowds set fire to three buses and showered passing traffic with rocks.
