Iowa Topples As Kentucky Clicks, 94-69

Firecracker Uproar Delays Game

LEXINGTON, KY. - Kentucky raced away from Iowa 94-69 Friday night in the Kentucky Invitational basketball tournament.

The game was delayed about five minutes when a firecracker thrown onto the floor exploded under the feet of the Hawks Andy Hankins.

Hankins is the only Negro player in the four-team tournament. There was no definite indication the firecracker was aimed at him, however.

Hankins was not injured. Police questioned several people in the stands but made no arrests.

A crowd of 11,700 saw Cotton Nash lead ninth-ranked Kentucky with 27 points while sophomore Jimmy Rogers popped in 23 for the Hawkeyes.

15-15 Deadlock

Iowa stayed close for 10 minutes, but after Kentucky broke a 15-15 deadlock with eight consecutive points the Hawkeyes never got back into contention.

Iowa pulled into a 10-6 lead, but Kentucky moved ahead, 15-12, after 7 minutes.

The Hawks made it 15-15 before Scotty Baesler hit two quick baskets, reserve John Adams added another, and Charlie Ishmael dropped in two free throws for a 23-15 Kentucky lead.

Iowa was never closer than six points after that and trailed, 41-31, at the half.

Iowa Shoots 37%

Kentucky hit 49 per cent in the second half and wound up with 46 per cent for the game to Iowa's 37 per cent. The Wildcats had a 51-30 bulge in rebounding.

Iowa's record dropped to 2-3. Kentucky is now 4-2.
