Ropke Stars for 'Cats; Galloway and Hummel Are Outstanding For Wesleyan

B>ROUSE HOLDS PAUL JENKINS

WINCHESTER, Ky., Jan. 10 -- Clearly outplayed and outfought, the University of Kentucky Wildcats were defeated by the Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers here tonight, 31 to 24. The locals took the lead from the start and were never headed, although the 'Cats managed to tie the score on two different occasions.

Galloway, the Panthers' offensive center and defensive guard, covered Jenkins so effectively that the all-Southern guard was held to two field goals. Jenkins was either forced to hurry his shots or be caught with the ball in his hands.

Ropke was easily the outstanding man for Kentucky on the offensive with five field goals to his credit, while Dees at back guard played a good game on the defensive.

Wesleyan took the lead when Hummel took the tip and passed to Adkins for a crip. Galloway made a field goal and Ropke sank a beauty from the side lines on Jenkins' pass for the initial Kentucky goal.

Rouse took the ball away from Jenkins a few minutes later and dribbled the length of the floor, passing to Galloway for a crip to make the score 10 to 5.

Kentucky got five more points while the Panthers were garnering four when Phipps went in for Knadler. State was forced to resort to long shots due to the effective guarding of the Panthers. Ropke got a crip after a long dribble to make the score 14 to 12.

As the whistle blew for the half Helm held Galloway who sank his free throw to make the score 15 to 12.

At the beginning of the second half, Jenkins took the tip off and dribbled to the Wesleyan goal only to miss an easy crip. Webb fouled Phipps who shot one of his free shots and a moment later sunk a field goal to tie the score at 15 all.

Rouse came back with a crip and Ropke tied the score again at 15-15. Wesleyan started to draw away on their superior team work and after bringing the score to 29 to 21 started stalling on their end of the court. With only a few minutes left to play, Helm went out on fouls and Gilb took his place.

Wesleyan continued to stall but broke through for a long one to end their scoring. Ropke got a crip and Phipps tossed in a free throw as the game ended with the score 31 to 24.
