Seton Hall Rates
First This Week
By Martin Meadows
Emerald Sportawriter
The nation’s only remaining ma
jor unbeaten basketball squad, the
Seton Hall Pirates of South Or
ange, New Jersey, took over the
top rung in this week’s rankings.
Both Fordham and Wayne were
handed their first losses of the
season last week. In addition, a
series of upsets, in which seven of
the top ten outfits were defeated,
helped to scramble the ratings
thoroughly. Two newcomers, East
ern Kentucky arid Tulsa, replaced
Illinois and Notre Dame in the se
lect group.
Pirates Still Unbeaten
Meanwhile, Seton Hall made it
18 straight as they climbed from
second to first. During a rough
week, the Pirates tripped Xavier,
86-78, bumped Fordham from the
unbeaten ranks, 69-62, dumped
Dayton, 82-74, and swamped Bos
ton College by a 92-71 margin.
North Carolina State’s Wolf
pack (16-2) kept pace with two
wins and skipped from fourth to
second. The Southerners regis
tered a 62-58 triumph over Wil
liam & Mary, and checked in
with their second decision of the
season over powerful George
Washington, 76-69, almost dupli
cating an earlier 75-68 score.
LaSalle, last week’s leaders,
tumbled to third after losing to
DePaul for the second time this
year, 68-62. However, the Explor
ers balanced this by thumping
Manhattan, 63-52, in Madison
Square Garden. LaSalle’s slate now
stands at 14-2.
Despite a loss to Seton Hall,
Fordham moved up a notch to
fourth. The Rams offset their first
defeat by smashing Syracuse, 92
70, to compile a 12-1 record.

' The seemingly unbeatable Wash
ington Huskies continued their up
ward march with two victories
over Oregon State, 77-54 and 68-56,
giving them 13 wins to go with a
lone setback at the hands of
UCLA. Taking advantage of the
many upsets last week, the Hus
kies jumped from seventh place.
Close behind is the perennial
hoop power, Oklahoma A&M,
which leaped from tenth to sixth
by easing past Detroit, 57-50,
and blasting traditional rival
Oklahoma, 70-59. The Aggies
now boast 12 wins as compared
with two defeats.
Another upset victim, Kansas
State, fell from fifth to seventh
following an 80-66 loss at the
hands of Kansas. It was State’s
only contest of the week and left
the team with an 8-2 ledger.
Eastern Kentucky Leaps
Surprising Eastern Kentucky
(10-2) rocketed from 17th to
eighth by virtue of racking up a
78-69 decision over Western Ken
tucky. Earlier in the week the Ma
roons, already holders of triumphs
over Brigham Young, Toledo, and
Louisville, had swept past More
head, 83-73.
Western Kentucky surrender
ed the number eight slot to East
ern but managed to hold on in
ninth following its 12th win, 99
61, .over Tennessee Tech. The
Hilltoppers have three losses,
and are barely ahead of tenth
spot Tulsa (12-2), another new
comer to the top ten. The Hurri
canes edged ahead of piotre
Dame as they put the skids un
der strong Oklahoma City, 65-62.

"0" Meets Today
To Nominate Officers
Nomination of officers is on tap

Three Day
Layoff Set
By Borcher
By Larry Lavelle
Emerald Sports Editor
Rest and relaxation more of it
—are on tap for Coach Bill Bor
cher and his University of Oregon
Webfoots. Borcher, rather than
risk the chance of his club’s grow
ing stale, ordered a three day lay
off last Monday and the Ducks
won’t return to the court until
Thursday and then for only a short
workput prior to the University of
San Francisco game the next
night.
Keith Farnam, who aggravat
| ed an old back injury Saturday
at Moscow, should be ready for
j action this weekend. Otherwise,
the club is in excellent shape for
the final non-conference games
of the season, against the Dons
in McArthur court, and against
the Portland university Pilots
Saturday in Portland.
For Phil Woolpert's Hilltoppers,
the Oregon game will be the first
of a three-game junket into the
Northwest. After a tour of the
Mid-west, the Dons have put to
gether a string of five victories,
including a decision over tl^ Olym
pic Club of San Francisco, sparked
by such ex-collegians as Califor
nia’s Chuck Hanger and Washing
ton's Frank Guisness.
Dons Strong
The Dons have just about the
strongest lineup of any independ
ent in California. Frank Evangel
ho, six-foot five-inch center from
Oakland; Phil Vukicevich, six-foot
one-inch guard from San Fran
cisco; and K. C. (Casey) Jones,
six-foot one-inch forward, . also
from San Francisco, form the
SF backbone.
Twenty-two year-old Guard
Cappy Lavin, who played on
USPs National Invitational
tourney championship team, is
having difficulty fighting off the
challenge of Carl Lawson, a jun
ior, for the other slot along with
Vukicevich, which indicates the
depth which the Dons boast.
The business office announced a
switch in the starting time of Fri
day’s preliminary from 5:45 p.m. to
6 p.m. The Ducklings host the
Oregon State Rooks for the first
time thia year and it marks the
initial appearance of Wade
(Swede) Halbrook since last
March when he led Lincoln high
of Portland to the State basket
ball championship.
IM Forfeits
Sigma Hall "B’s” gained a for
feit victory over Gamma Hall as
the Gammas failed to produce a
full team by game time.
The Phi Kappa Sigmas B’s gain
ed a victory over the Counselors
B’s as the Counselors could not

Food Shortage
(Continued from page one)
Bhat told the group. “A food prob
lem in India means a critical short
age of cereals.” The yield per acre
is about the lowest In the world
because of the poor means of pro
duction. With improved methods of
farming the yield could be doubled
or even trebled.
When questioned on the subject
of the caste system, Bhat stated
that it will not last. In the begin
ning it was a device for dealing
with minorities.
