UNIVERSITY-Hoping to shoot
down a non-conference foe for
an end to a 12-game losing
streak, Ole Miss takes on
Middle Tennessee State here Sat-
urday night to close out an event
full January calendar.
What the Rebels haven't done
of late is to close in on five
Southeastern Conference foes -
enough, that is. for a January
victory. What they have done is
TO chase three of them to the
wire, and coach Eddie Crawford
Is hopeful that brand of conten-
tion will be enough to handle
the Blue Raiders from Murfrees-
borO.
Starting time for the game in
the university gym is 8 pm.
Crawford has taken stand
pat attitude on his starting line
up, going with his tallest COM
bination in a bid for stronger
rebounding. Don Davidson, 6-7

Rebel blackboard mainstay, will
open at center. witty 60 senior

had posted 6-8 record into Fri
day nights game with East Ten
nessee at Mursfreesboro, but
numbered among its victims
were highly-regarded Murray
State and Western Kentucky, both
in 86-82 outings.
The TennesseanS feature a fast
break and strong rebOunding led
by 81 senior center Bennett Jent
and 6-3 forward Larry Stewart.
Jent hauled down 81 in a recent
skirnish against Tennessee Tech,
and Stewart leads in seasonal
averages with 1874 and i'm scoring
with 17.3 points a game.
Jent trails with 1873 rebounds
and 239 points A guard, GO
Bill Martin, is third in scoring
at 112.
Bottoms rebounding range is
1913 a game. He is third on the
Reb point chart with 110 a game.
KesSinger leads with an 1873
average and Edmonds is a close
second at 17.6.
Ell Edmonds (6-0) at forward,
then sophomores Harry Johnston

hart t6-2) at guard and IS junior
Hardy Graham at forward are
the leading Reb spares.

ATLANTA (UPD = Presidents
Ol their representatives Of the
member schools today take the
first official action Of the
leagues four-day annual meet
ing and it looks like most Of the
proposals made will be turned
down.
Best bet for approval is a plan
to establish a standard test for
all IL schools for young men
seeking admission under athletic
scholarships. This proposal has
gained momentum annually and
narrowly missed acceptance last
year by &c tie vote.
However, even if approved as
expected, it is doubtful that this
test will make much difference
in present recruiting policies, at
least in the near future. Each
school will administer and grade
its own tests and it is unlikely
that the standards will be the
same-even for so-called stand
ardized test.
Proposals expected to fall by
the wayside include admission of

in the scholarship limit from an
overall to a yearly basis, and

we used neither of these that day

used it, and then it was gone. No
one knew who had it last, or where
it could have been dropped. This
was so serious an offense that

it. 1t was not mentioned again, nor
was it totally forgotten. Many
years later, when had married a
