EXMJUMTIOM Th
f it. U urn-,
By DICK DUNKEL
In the topsy-turvey world of
college basketball, where any
single performance may be
miles from oar. the best average
display of strength, through
games of last Monday, had been
on the part of Holy Cross.
At that time, the Purple had
won 11 straight contests by an
average markin of 23.1 points.
This figure, weighted by the
average rating of H. C. oppon
ents, resulted In a Power In
dex of 82.7.
Since then, the Crusaders
have met Georgetown and 8t.
Louis.
In second place, with a 9-1
record, were the Kentuck Wild
eats. They seemed to be gath
ering power with each new
game and had pushed their rat
ing up to 78.8.
The same was true of No. 3
Bradley (78.4). Since losing to
Xentucky at the Sugar Bowl, the
Braves had mashed Ohio State,
Drake and Georgetown by a to
tal of 74 points. Their record
was 12-2.
No. 4 St. John's (77.8) had
taken 13 out of 14, the only de
feat coming at the hands of
r.n.N.Y.
Question-mrak Cincinnati was
in fifth place, with a ri.o, a""
six straight wins, but faced the
ehat of undefeated Duquesne
In Pittsburgh last Tuesday. The
winner of this one was assured
of Top Ten ranking for the pres
ent, at least.

Postpones
made to play the series later
this season.
The weather conditions
turned highways between As
toria and Salem into treacher
ous ribbons of potential de
struction, and school officials
in Astoria vetoed the trip to
Salem.
The second pair of games In
the traditional series of four
has been scheduled for Feb
ruary S and 4. That series will
be played at Astoria.
The cancellation of Friday
and Saturday games came ear
ly Friday morning when snow
continued to pour down.

fending titllsts.
And for the Washington
Huskies it's the night that
may tell whether they're
championship material or just
hometown heroes.
Washington, undefeated in
league play, has lost only one of
13 starts, but It has yet to meet
a major foe on other than the
Seattle floor. The Cougars, de
spite an even break on the rug
ged four-game Oregon Jaunt,
are still touted as the team to
beat for conference honors.
Incidentally, tonight's clash-
the first of a Friday-Saturday
set will find the Huskies try
ing a second time to make It
seven straight wins. They
knocked over six minor oppon
ents at the start of the season
before dropping a two-point de
cision to Minnesota. Now they
are working on another six
game skein built against tough
er stuff.

Puzzles Pitcher
New York, Jan. 18 (U.R) A
"frankly flabbergasted" Ray
Scarborough, Washington's ace
pitcher, today wondered "How
can I be worth $100,000 a few
weeks ago and less than f 20,000
now?"
The Senators sent Scarborough
to wondering by offering him a
19S0 contract calling for a $2000
pay slash from the $17,000 he re
ceived last year.
"1 just can't understand the
club's mathematics," said Scar
borough, who won IS and lost
11 in 1948 for the last-place
Nats and was regarded one of the
American league's outstanding
pitchers.
When the Yankees were after
a few weeks ago," the 31-
year-old right-hander reasoned,
"Washington was asking as muca
as $100,000 for me. Now, only
a few weeks later, the club asks
me to take a cut. Man alive,
things like that beat me. I was
all set for a raise, too!"
Scarborough, in Philadelphia
on business yesterday, said he
never had any contract trouble
before with Washington owner
Clark Griffith.
Michigan tSate ran up its high

the Spartans defeated Battle

Miss Bauer rocketed into tho
spotlight when she won the first
national Junior golf champion
ship at Philadelphia. From there
on she was a terror, her steady
and mature game providing her
with victory after victory over
many of the country's leading
stars.
She reached the semi-finals
of the national amateur cham
pionship after having beaten
such a famed competitor as
former champion Mrs. Glenna
Collett Vare. She followed
that by reaching the final of
the women's Texas open at

The Citadel, one of the
schools facing expulsion,
Jumped the gun somewhat
last night by announcing it
has resigned from the NCAA.
However, there was a loop
hole permitting a return to the
fold. Col. David S. McAllis
ter, the school's director of
student affairs, said he has no
tified the NCAA that the Cita
del cannot remain a member
under the present code and
that the school considers It
self out of the organization
until the rules are made more
liberal.
However, an NCAA spokes
man said "no Informal resigna
tion" was received from the Cit
adel and so the school still was
considered a member.
