Tfc Stadammanv Sclera, Ortw Wednee Ary. refcraarr IS. lSSlL-Q DGD M K-State2nd, Huskies 8:h Utile Shuffling Seen Among Top 10 Quints NEW YORK ()-With the ap- iroach of tournament time in col ege basketball, it almost is be coming possible to pick out the most likely candidates for the ma jor events by looking at the week ly national rankings. TOntuekv already has earned a place in the National Collepit? A. A. tournament by clinching the Southeastern conference title. And for the fourth straight week the sports writers and sportcasters participating in the Associated Press ranking poll have voted the Wildcats the No. 1 position in the nation. Also ranked in the first ten, Kansas State and Kansas of the Big Seven Conference, Iowa and Illinois of the Big Ten, St. Louis of the Missouri Valley and Wash ington of the Pacific Coast are very much in the running for conference titles and NCAA play off spots. The Rankings Here's how the teams were ranked this week by 103 voters: Kentucky, Kansas State, Duques ne, St. Bonaventure, Iowa, Illi nois, St. Louis, Washington, Kan sas and St. John's Brooklyn. Washington, with a 19-3 record, received five first place votes and had 269 points. Kentucky, listed first on 42 bal lots, polled a total of 867 points as compared with 737 for Kansas State, which drew 14 first-place votes. After the votes were in Monday, Kentucky went out and walloped Mississippi State, 110 to 86. for its 21st victory of the sea son against two defeats. Duquesne also reflected the ac curacy of the ballots by downing St. Bonaventure. 69-63. These two teams and St. John's likely will be among the first considered for bids to the 12-team National In vitation Tournament, starting March 8. Although several of the top ten teams switched positions last week, the group as a whole re mained unchanged. Unbeaten Du quesne and Iowa moved up on the list while Illinois and Kansas dropped back after losing. St. Bonaventure, still uncon vinced that it isn't superior to Duquense, faces St. John's in Mad ison Square Garden Thursday night. Kansas States takes on stubborn Missouri, Kansas plays Nebraska and St. Louis meets defensively-strong Tulsa Saturday. Washington meets Idaho at Mos cow, Ida., Friday and Saturday. Kentucky's only troublesome fu ture opponent appears to be De Paul, currently ranked 18th. Winter Games Due Thursday (Continued from preceding page) changes will be made in the run, which they consider dangerous for four-man sleds. The No. 3 curve has been modified slightly but the Americans believe this change was no enough. Even Dick Button, the world and Olvmpic figure skating champion, joined the anvil chorus with a complaint about the rough outdoor Ice. While frantic last minute work went ahead, the International Olympic Committee was formally convened by Crown Prince Olav In solemn ceremonies in Oslo's sparkling marble city hall. It went into a closed session and decided to consider Wednesday the prob lem of whether the 1956 games can be held in Melbourne, Aus tralia. When competition starts Thurs dav in the gint slalom for ladies, Mrs. Rhoda Wutele Eages of Can ada will be the first down. The American star, Mrs. Andrea Mead Lawrence of Rutland, Vt., was top seeded with Trudy Jochum-Beiser of Austria. They got preferential spots numbers 4 and 5 early enough so the course will be smooth, but they will not have to break it in. Sports Probe Bill Delayed WASHINGTON WVThe House Rules Committee postponed action Tuesday on a proposal for a con gressional investigation of football, baseball, boxing, racing and other sports. It was the second time the committee had put off action on the resolution by Rep. Clemente, (D-NY). Chairman Sabath (D-Ill) who favors the inquiry, told re porters he would make a later ef fort to bring it to a vote. Cotton has become an important money crop in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Ti me Short Before Drills Open 102 Big Leaguers Still Unsigned NEW YORK (JPi - Big league clabowners had better get busy bringing their boys into line if they want to open their spring training camps with enough play ers to have a practice game. An Associated Press surrey to day showed that 102 big leaguers have not yet signed their 1952 con tracts. That is approximately one fifth of the player output and spring training drills are less than two weeks off.

Not a Keyhole -But a Transom Looking at the world through rose-colored glasses Is fine bat Sam Yokes of the WU coaching staff won't recommend watching a basketball game through a door transom. Sam was forced to such a measure during that Friday WU-Pioneer tilt in the cramped L-C gym after he and his Bearkittens emerged from the showers in the wake of their prelim scrap and found it impossible to get into the packed arena. Sam had a transom-mate in L-C Football Mentor Joe Huston, also blocked out nicely by the overflow mob. . . . The moral seems to be that if the Willamette and Lewis and Ciarks want to get capacity houses they must merely play each other. ... Bowes Didn't Seek Olympics Slot This Time Bill Bowes, the Salem native who barely missed a berth on the 1948 Olympic Ski team, didn't try for the squad this time. In the process. of earning a Masters degree in geology at Utah University and the father of two children, the onetime slat whiss doesn't find much time for his favorite sport anymore, other than on a social basis. Incidentally, Bill was a close friend of Victor Gothehalk, one of those killed In the recent avalanche at Sun Valley. The two were wartime buddies in the ski troops In the Aleutian theatre. . . . Bill might have made the '48 Olympic team but for a bad spill suffered in the Harriman Races. Even then there was surprise regis tered at Bowes' ommission from the squad and some still are con vinced that political pressure pat somebody else In at tho expense of BilL . . . Joe's Shoes Are Awfully Big No less than three men have proclaimed that they're going to try their durndest to step into Joe DiMaggie 's shoes when the DiMag less New Tork Yankees swing into the 1952 campaign. . . . The worthies with such a monumental ambitien are Youngsters Mickey Mantle and Jackie Jensen, the former Cal All-America foot baller, and Veteran Gene Woodling. Now there's a chance Mantle and Jensen, still developing, may eventually bloom sufficiently to fill a good hunk of Joe's shoes. But the odds are against Mickey and Jackie ever completely fining 'em from heel to toe. That's a Job that's mignty nun so imposaiDie. As for Woodling, Gene's now at his peak and a very good ban player he is but he's still long way from being a DiMaggio. . . . So it looks like the Yankees will just have to settle for less. . . . That ND Sched Tops in Ruggedness Slats GUI quoted the other day as saying Washington's Huskies are the best qnint in the land. If by chance the Huskies and Ken tucky wind up as foes in the coming NCAA tourney, Slats will have plenty of chance to reaffirm his faith in the Huskies. For he probably win be pestered by a whole army of guys wanting him to back up that faith with some folding stuff. . . . Kidding aside. Slats hit the nail on the head when he pointed to the Northern division schedule as one of the most killing In the entire country. A team which takes the crown after running that grueling gauntlet f 18 games has to have sturdy stuff in Its lineup. ...

A n FVFl AD , y OtO Likely Victors Listed, Oslo Snow Qassic By TED SMTTS OSLO (JP) There is no such thing as a form chart for the win ter Olympic Games, but if any two individuals here seem sure of winning gold medals they are Dick Button, king of figure skaters, and and Hjalmar Andersen of Norway, the phenomenal speed skater. Even Dick thinks he will win, pointing out he is skating better than when he took the Olympic title at St. Moritz in 1948. He has won all world championships in between. The most serious rival of the slender Harvard student from England, N. J., seems to be an other American, Jimmy Grogan of Colorado Springs, formerly of Ta coma, Wash., and Silverton, Ore. As for Andersen, if he doesn't win at least the 10,000 meter race it will be a national disaster for Norway. His Is the nation's pin-up boy, and his phenomenal new rec ord of 16:32.6 set Sunday puts him in a class by himself. Morrow Liked A concensus of the favorites in the other Olympic events includes: Women's Figure Skating Suz anne Morrow of Canada, who aims to succeed Barabara Ann Scott, the Canadian girl who won the title in 1948 and then turned Dro- fessional; Jeanette Altwegg of r.ngiand, ine world champion; Jac queline DuBief, France; and Son ya Klopfer, 17-year-old American from Long Island City, N.

Ski Relay Finland, Sweden, and Norway as a matter of course. Downhill Ski Race, Men Zeno Colo, Italy, the world champion; James Couttet, France; Etein Errksen, Norway; Christel Pravda, Austria; and Georges Schneider, Switzerland.
