Murray State Entertains Eastern Saturday i -y Murray Has Won More man cxpccrca MURRAY, Feb. 9-Eastern'f revenge-minded Maroons Invade the Sports Arena here Saturday night for an all-important Ohio Valley Conference clash with Murray State's Thoroughbreds, Sporting a 4-2 conlerence mark. Coach Jim Baechtold's Maroons are still very much in contention for the loop title that is, if they don't get by a young Murray team that handed Eastern one of its two league defeats. Snapped Eastern's Long Win Skein In that Eastern-Murray contest, Coach Cal Luther's team not only damaged the Maroons' conference chances but also snapped a 38-game home court win streak as 8-6 center Jim Jennings hit a last-second bucket to give Murray an 82-80 victory at Richmond. By JIM ELKINS Sun-Democrat Sporti Editor While Murray Is out of the OVC title chase, Luther's sophom*ore-studded crew can up its loop mark to 54 with a victory over the Maroons, which would give the Racers a good chance to finish among the leaders.
Eastern is certainly not conceding the title. "We don't figure that we're out of the conference race yet," the personable young Baechtold said in discussing his team's chances of competing for the Ohio Valley Conference crown. "We are taking the games one at a time, and certainly no one associated with the squad feels that we are out of the running." "After all, stranger things have happened in sports and It is not an impossibility to win in this league on the road. This has been proven this year by both Murray and Western because they both defeated us here, and in successive games." 1 Murray shoved its league record to 4-4 and overall mark to 11-9 Wednesday evening with pulsating 69-68 victory over Middle Tennessee at Murfreesboro. Again it was a last-second jump shot by Jennings that spelled victory for the Racers.
Pleased With Middle Showing Luther was pleased for the most part with his team's showing against Middle, but he had no kind words for the Racers' free throw shooting Murray hit only 11 of 25 from the charity lane. Following the Saturday night battle with Eastern, Murray has conference games left with Morehead (here Feb. 12), Western (there Feb. 17), and Tennessee Tech (here Feb. 24).

MURRAY STATE has already won more games than most people thought the Racers would win this year. This was a rebuilding year, a season that was supposed to be devoted to giving the sophom*ores experience.
It has been that, but the club still has played far better than even the most optimistic follower had even dreamed it would in compiling an 11-9 overall mark and a 44 record in the tough Ohio Valley Conference. The Racers have performed in typical sophom*orish style at times playing tremendous basketball one night and then only so-so a day later. But even with the inconsistency, the Racers have been an interesting and exciting team and certainly a credit to Coach Cal Luther's coaching. Nobody dreamed the Racers would beat Eastern especially at Richmond and give some of the other conference powers a real tussle. Ron Greene, the only senior starter on the club, probably provided the best Insight on the team with his remark after the Eastern win.
Greene told Luther following the victory, which snapped Eastern's 38-game home floor winning streak: "I've been coming to Eastern long enough to know that you don't beat them at Richmond But you couldn't make this crazy bunch of sophom*ores believe that," said Greene, chuckling. That's exactly the way the young Racers 'have played like a team that didn't know they weren't supposed to win. The Racers have given an all-out effort on defense and worked hard on offense all season. The team has shown the "spunk" that makes them a credit to the college and anything they accomplish would certainly be befitting their effort. Conference laurels are out of the thinking, but the Racers could write a satisfying finish by even staying above the .500 mark for the season, which would be no small task when you consider the Racers have games left with Eastern, Morehead, Western, Arkansas State and Tennessee Tech.
Racers Should Be Tough In Future GOOD FRESHMAN GROUP-Anything that the Racers do this season is like money in the bank, drawing interest. For the Mur-rayans lose only one regular and will gain the services of the promising freshman team. Greene graduates, and while he has been an invaluable performer this season, the Racers have at least a couple of players that should be able to fill his shoes. Bennie Goheen, the former North Marshall ace, has looked good on the freshman team and transfer Gene Pendleton has been outstanding in practice. Pendleton, who is from Monticello, came to Murray from the University of Tennessee, where he averaged 28 points per game as a freshman last year.
Sophom*ore Bob Goebel has also looked good at times this season in a relief role. This threesome will probably be fighting it out for the vacated position, i The rest of the frontline players return, including high-scoring Jim Jennings, fast-developing Scott Schlosser, high-jumping Al Varnas, Stanley Walker and GocbeL John's 79-66 over Villanova and NYU 78-73 against Temple in ine Biuemen divided two games last week, beating Reidland be- Joppa, the only unbeaten team in lower Southern Illinois, opposes Brookport on Friday nieht in Its overtime.

Paul McBrayer, the veteran Eastern coach, resigned earlier this yea after years at the Maroons' cage helm. In "Mac's" place on the Eastern bench will be Jim Baechtold, who is long-remembered by Murrayans for his collegiate feats while playing at Eastern.
Baechtold was a regular for the Maroons for four years (1948-52) and still ranks as the school's second all-time scorer with only Jack Adams topping him. The square-jawed Baechtold started every game but one in his four years at Eastern and during that span he scored 1.137 points for a 12.9 average. Baechtold decided to come to Eastern at the last-minute and the efforts of a former Murrayan nearly had him playing basketball at Alabama. Floyd "Red" Burdette, who is now coach at the University of Tennessee, Martin Branch, was coach at Alabama when Baechtold graduated from high school. Burdette, who is one of Murray's all-time greats, had signed Baechtold to a grant-in-aid and the 215-pound Pennsylvania was scheduled to play both basketball and football at 'Bama.
Baechtold was on his way to football practice at Tuscaloosa when he stopped by the Eastern campus for a visit He was impressed by Coach McBrayer and wired home for his parents to ship his trunks to Richmond instead of to Alabama. The rest of Baechtold's career is history as he went on to become "Rookie Of The Year" in the NBA and was a standout for the New York Knicks for several years. aunng the early minutes of the game to move far out in front Preston Brewer, announced pariiAr liers ideas for the sake of change.
