Wildcats 2nd In Cage Poll; St. Johns 1st NEW YORK im -St. John's university of Brooklyn was ratsd the No, 1 college basketball team in the country today in the weekly Associated Press poll, but you can't convince the University of Kentucky. Votes of the nation's sports writers and sportscasters were cast over the weekend. The weekly poll closed Monday after noon, several hours before Ken lucky and St. John's met at Lex ington, Ky. The Kentucky Wild cats trounced the Red men, 81 to 40. One hundred and three ballots were received and St. John's got 36 first place votes to only 15 for Kentucky, which was ranked No. 1 a week ago. St. John's, which had won five straight games up until the Kentucky games, was No. 2 last week. This time, the Red men received a to tal of 837 points, while Kentucky got 687. The voting obviously was in fluenced by Kentucky's upset de feat at the hands of Minnesota last week, 61-57. St. John's had thumped Rhode Island slate Sat urday night, Vi-at. Illinois, a favorite for the Big Ten crown, St. Louis university and Kansas State remained the No. 3, 4 and 5 teams in that order same as last week. Kan sas State was bounced out of t'ne undefeated class last week by San Francisco, 55-52. Last night, Kansas State trounced ilamline, 92-73. St. Louis, another undefcat team when the voting closed, was beaten last night by Wis consin, 55-54. There were a few other switches in the top 10, but the only one to drop out was La Salle, which skidded from ninth place a week ago to 12th, Indiana, elevenlh last week, moved up to the No. 6 filace, on the strength of a thril Ing 57-55 triumph over Wyoming. Kansas, a 58-57 winner over Southern Methodist, moved up to No. 7. The University of Wash ington Huskies, won a pair from California last week, 60-52 and 65-43, but dropped from No. 6 to No. 8.

Tues., Dee. 18, 1951 Medford, Grants Pass Next On Indians' Hoop Schedule It's Roscburg's turn to make the weekend trek to Medford and Grants Pass. .The Indian basketball squad will be the third team in two weeks to tackle Medford and Grants Pass in succession. The locals play at Medford Friday night and Grants Pass Saturday nigm. Last weekend, Shasta high of Redding, Calif., and Cottage Grove alter nated nights in these southern Oregon towns. These will be the second and third away-from-hoine games for three home stands in succession since going to Collage Grove at the first of the season. Medford, like Roscburg, has nlavcd four games this year. The Tornado has won three of those four. It squeaked by Corvallis in a two-game series, 36-34, and, 32 28. Then, in another fight squeeze, it notched a 40-38 victory over Collage Grove. The first loss was suffered against Shasta high, 58-38. Cavemen Split Grants Pass has played just half as many games. The schedule started last weekend with two games which the Cavemen plil. They won the first against Shasta, 48-46, and then lost to C o 1 4 a g e Grove, 37-34. These games apparently tell little of what to expect. Holh schools are Ictlermen shy and only fairly tall, so these factors should put the two schools on a com paratively even par with the In dians. It's interesting to note that the results of the games show exactly mining in spite of the fact all three teams, the Indians, Cavemen and Tornado, have a common foe in Cottage Grove.- The Indians lost two very tight games lo Coltage Grove, 30-26, and 33-32. Medford beat tlio Lions, 40-38, but Granls Pass lost to the same train, 37-34. This pattern is Sanders Predicts An Illinois Victory SAN FRANCISCO - P) - Il linois and Stanford both clipped UCLA by 14 points. So football writers ranrnercil Bruin Coach Henry (Red) Sanders and asked for a Rose Bowl prediction. Said Sanders: "Illinois is fa vored and that's justified." Sanders long ago had predicted that Illinois would be in the Rose Bowl. He said Illinois is "a solid team." "They are very aggressive. That Boerio, the linebacker, hits you hard enough lo loosen your teeth. Their halfbacks hit you three or four limes while you're tailing." Sanders' words of praise failed to daunt the spirits ot Slaniord Coach Chuck Taylor. "No teams scares, us afler Cali fornia." Taylor said. Stanford Inst ils only game to t he Bears 20-7. And Taylor naturally predicted a win for his Indians. He's been doing it all season and was right the first nine limes.

Friday night, Grants Pass beat the Wolves, 48-46, before los ing to Cottage Grove.

Grants Pass didn't play the Indians. 22 Shooters Win Turkeys Completed tabulations of the Roscburg Rod and Gun club tur key shoot at the Winchester traps Sunday, show enough turkey win ners to wipe out a flock. In all, 22 men won turkeys In the alternating sunshine and show ers. During one of the showers, a ten-man squad was organized to shoot for two turkeys. They lired from the clubhouse porch, but even with this rash of handicaps, Scott Goodman broke four of five targets to win a gobbler. There were five tics for the second tur key with scores of one out of five. Harry Smith won the shoot off. Other turkey winners wejc: I. airy Davie, Bert Lehnhcrr, Gene Edwards, Roy Medley, Jack Trusty, Carl Bcac'.i, Harrison Winston, Stan Short, Ivan Pickens, Floyd Ross, Dallas Bennett, Rod ney Hague, "Dutch" Davis, george Huberts, Cecil Hague, For rest Solomon, Dick DeBernardi, Gus Cave, L.

J C Hoopsters Meet Eugene Five The J C Sporting Goods AAU squad runs into Its first rugged basketball competition Wednesday night at 8 In the Benson gym when it meets Warren Hardware of Eu gene in an inter-district tilt. The hardwaremcn have both the height and experience to meet the district champion J Cs. The only real difference is playing time to gether. Most the .1 C squad have played together for a full year, but this is tho first year for War ren Hardware. These are some factors in favor of the visitors to counteract this fact, however. A bulk of the War ren squad recently played on the University of Oregon basketball team under the very samo John Warren who now owns the hard ware business and coaches them on the side. In Eugene, this team is expected to give the defending slate champions a run for their money. So far, however, Hie J Cs sport a better record. They are unde feated In two Umpqiia Valley AAU starts while the Warrenmen have won one and lost one in Eugene. They won from the Uni versity of Oreg.n junior var sity and lost to the Oregon State jayvces. One of the high points in the loss lo Oregon State was a one nian performance by a shifty little guard named Ernie Baldini. He rang up 22 points for more than half his team's tallies in their 52-41 loss. . LETTER AWARDED Mickey Coon, ex-Rosehurg fool ball star, was one of 25 Willam ette university gndders awarded letters lor the 1951 football sa son.

' NJiLi!S' LeRoy Elting Gets Mention In Grid Poll LeRoy Elting, senior end on the 1951 Roscburg high school foot ball team, received honorable mention in the second annual United Press Oregon High school all-star football team, Selections for the all-star team are made by balloting every A-l and A2 football coach in the state. Honorable mention is re ceived by any player who is named four or more times on bal lots. Elting was a two-year letter man, who played both offense and defense almost equally well. He received most of his plaudits for his glue-fingered pass catching. Coaches and scouts in district 5-A-l are still talking about a bril liant catch in the 14-0 victory over Cottage Grove In which Elt ing snaked a 30-yard pass from the outstretched fingers of two Lion defenders who had him cov ered like a tent. Cavemen Dominate The Grants Pass Cavemen domi nated the all star selections. The state championi who defeated the Indians, 64-0, in Roseburg's dark est hour, placed three men on the first team. These three and Tom Crabtree of Marshfield all ap peared against the Indians dur ing the 1951 season. Crabtree, in cidentally, was the only junior on the first team.

It's only a six-page mimeo graphed set, but it's information packed. It starts with a brief resume of the 1950-51 squad which was the "highest scoring team in the history of the school." The squad under Jack Newby, now in the navy, won 14 and lost seven, I and ? Pd by Kee Briggs who I poured 200 points through the noon. Particularly interesting in this section of the brochure is the list ing of present locations ot last year's varsity 10. Of course, Bruce Dalros and Ed Nolle are playing on the 1951-52 team, but all others but two are attending college. These two are Larry Free man and Dale Blanck. Freeman is working in Roseburg and Blanck is in the navy. Tie For Preference Willamette university and Ore gon State tied for preference in drawing the remainder of the squad. Roy Van Horn and Mickey Coen took their higher learning hopes to Willamette, and Frank Olson and Don Campbell went to Oregon State. Kee Briggs chose the University of Oregon and Jerry Sconce went to John Muir college in caittornia. The brochure continues inues to the! ing the 19'f lilding year season as a rebuilding With this untried team, Dick Bal lantyne is also making his debut as a prep coach. A short sketch of his basketball career precedes what the brochure calls "thumb nail sketches." These sketches quickly summarize the potential and experience of each member of the present varsity.
