Tues'., Feb., 28 1961 Ohio State Still On Top, St. Bonavenf ure Spot Shaky By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Unbeaten Ohio State, just two games away from a perfect sea son, has turned the voting-for the nation's No. 1 college basketball team into a formality. But with the end of St. Bonaventure's amaz ing string of home court victories, it appears that this week's games will settle the No. 2 spot for the season. For the 12th consecutive week, Ohio Stale's Buckeyes were the unanimous choice for first place of the 36-man panel of sporja writ ers and broadcasters who make up the weekly Associated Pr e s a poll. They received the maximum of 360 points on the usual basis of 10 for a first place vote, 9 for second, etc. Shocker St. Bonaventure, beaten for the second time in 23 games, barely held second by a five-point mar gin over Cinqinnati 21-34. The 87 77 defeat of the Bonnies by Ni agara was a shocker because it happened on their home court at Olean, N.Y., where they had won 99 straight over a span of more man 13 years. The Bonnie's only previous de feat this season was a two-point loss to Ohio Slate in the New York Holiday Festivaland they have been hoping to wipe that out in the National Collegiate Tourna ment. The No. 4 team in a close vote is Bradley, the team that can tie Cincinnati for the Missouri Valley title if it can get past tough St. Louis Saturday.

V The Klamath Falls team had been first in every previous weekly rating this season. But over the weekend, Klamath was upended by unranked Central Point, and that apparently made up the minds of the sports writers and sportscasters participating in this week's poll. Madras Top A-2 Taam Madras' undefeated White Buf faloes A-2 team continued to roll on in the state's top smaller school poll. Sporting a 21-0 record, the Madras team received all but one first place vote. They were closely followed by the cage quintet from Myrtle Point. Both Glide and butnerun noop teams were mentioned in final tab ulation for top honors in the A-2 schedules. The two Douglas Coun ty squads meet this weekend to decide which team will meet an other southern Oregon team m the battle for a tournament berth. Roseburg had seven first-place votes to Klamath Falls' four. The other four went to undefeated Grant of Portland, which was close on the heels of Klamath Falls. Grant was only a scant four points behind, in third place. There was near-unanimity for the top three in the poll. Fourth place Wilson got one vote for third place and fifth-place Central Catholic received a vote for sec ond. The rest went for the three favorites. Wilson held to its fourth position despite its two-point loss to Grant last week, and central catholic, leader of the Metro League, remained in fifth. Medford and Bend were in sixth and seventh places, a switch from last week when they were in the opposite spots. South Eugene and Marshfield stayed in seventh and eighth spots, but North Eugene jumped into tenth place, bumping Beaver ton from the elite group. North Eugene had one vote for fourth and two for fifth, but it was men tioned on the ballots of only four experts. Beaverton, tenth last week, gar nered only one vote, that one for ninth place. Last week, North Eugene had only a tenth-place tally.
