The San Francisco Dons, who i
want to prove they’re the best
college basketball team in the
nation, already have done a pret
ty good Job of convincing the
sports writers and broadcasters.
That was seen Tuesday when '
San Francisco was voted the No.
1 team by a big margin in the
ninth weekly Associated Press
ranking poll. The Dons were
named first by 68 of 126 voters
and polled a total of 1,107 points.
Kentucky Falls
Kentucky, the leader ever since
the second week of this season’s
poll, dropped to second place with
only 19 first place votes and 867
points.
The top place in the ranking
wasn’t enough to satisfy Coach
Phil Woolpert and the Dons. USF
“wants to really prove it’s the
best in the nation," Woolpert
said. And it’s willing to try that
in either the NCAA or the Na
tional Invitation Tournament,
with the NCAA getting first call.
Lost Only One
In vanning 16 of 17 games so
far, San Francisco has beaten
George Washington, ranked
sixth this week; UCLA, 8th, and
Oregon State, 18th, and has lost
only to UCLA. The rest of its
regular schedule is against Cali
fornia Basketball Assn, teams,
none of which have troubled the
Dons so far.

place votes and seasons records

Strange Case of __\i.fli
THE jFdOLHARbY SKIER
y f
■ HERE was once a young fellow who
decided skiing was as easy as driving
a car on snow-covered roads.
So one day he stepped into his new skis
atop a slope, and pushed off. His friends
were aghast! Such confidence!
He knew little or nothing about the rules
of skiing—how to turn—how to stop—
f how to use his poles and edges.
What happened? That’s right.
He ran smack into a large tree.
Everybody on the slope said he
should learn the rules of skiing
before taking such chances.
But nobody mentioned that neither he—
nor most of them—knew or practiced
the rules of winter driving.
Doesn’t that seem awfully foolish—and
childish—when you think of the terrible)
death toll from winter traffic accidents?
Just in case, here are the six rules*
of winter driving.
*THE SIX RULES OF WINTER DRIVING
1. Accept your responsibility.
2. Got the "fool" of tho road.
3. Koop tho windshield dear.
4. Use tire chains and good tires.
5. Pump your brakes.
6. Follow at a safe distance.
