Cardinals Face Revenge
from Tough Marquette,
Vindictive Western Teams
Tournament-Bound Louisville
To Offer No Quarter To Rivals
Two oldtime "friends"' close out N.C.A.A.-bound Louisville's
1960-61 regular basketball season. Tonight at 8:30p.m. at Freedom
Hall, the cagey Eddie Hickey brings his Mar quette University
Warriors in for a return battle.
Then, one of the fiercest rivalries in Kentucky collegiate basketball
is renewed next night when Uncle Ed Diddle and his Ohio Valley
Conference-leading Western Kentucky Hilltoppers invade for a
Freedom Hall showdown.
Louisville and Marquette met in Milwaukee on January 7, and the
Cards made the Warriors their
thirteenth consecutive victim
with a bruising 84-63 triumph,
The teams fought on almost
even terms throughout the first
half, with Louisville holding on
to a 34-31 edge when the half­time
intermission began.
But the second half was an
entirely different story, as the
Redbirds, paced by forward John
Turner's 31 p01nts, almost blast­ed
the Warriors out of the Mil-waukee
Arena.
~ Total U. of L. Reg~tration 6901 Cardinals
Since last December 13, Wes­tern
Kentucky fans have wated for
March 1; for on that date, their
Hilltoppers of Uncle Ed Diddle
get a chance to seek revenge for
the 86-71 shellacldng thatLouis­ville
handed the Hill toppers when
the Cards captured the Bluegrass
Tournament championship. The
Western Kentucky win is rated
by many as being the finest game
Louisville played all year.
