Poll Ranks Holy Cross
At Top of Nation's Cage
By JOE REICHLEB
New York, Jan. 25 W The
elassy Crusaders or Holy Cross
continued to reign today as the
kingpins of the country's col
lege basketball teams in the
fourth weekly Associated Press
poll.
The all-conquering quintet
from Worcester, Mass., who
wrested the leadership from St.
John's of Brooklyn by a nar
row margin last week captured
top honors by a landslide vote.
Unbeaten in 14 starts this
season, Holy Cross drew 118
of a possible 166 first place
votes cast by sports writers
and sports casters from coast
to coast, to win in a breeze
from second ranked Duquesne
of Pittsburgh. The point mar
fin was 1,600 to 1,024.
The Pennsylvania Dukes, the
only other undefeated major
five, picked up only four first
place nominations but grabbed
enough seconds and thirds to
vault from sixth to second.
Duquesne has won 13 straight.
Long Island University, de
spite its 55-52 upset by North
Carolina last Tuesday, clung to
its third place ranking. The
Blackbirds (13-2) had 10 first
place calls and piled up 826
points to come in ahead of Ken
tucky and St. John's, fourth and
fifth, respectively.
The Wildcats (11-4) recovered
from a licking by Georgia to
swamp De Paul of Chicago and
move up a notch. The Brooklyn
Redmen, who bowed to DePaul
for their second loss in 17 starts,
slipped three places from their
runner-up spot of a week ago.
Kentucky had 762 points to St.
John's 754.
Sixth place was awarded to
Bradley, which suffered an up
set by Detroit last Saturday.
The Braves (15-3) first place
choice of eight experts, re
ceived 698 points.
Other first place votes were
cast for 11th ranking U. C. L. A.,
12th ranking Kansas State and
16th ranking University of
Washington. U. C. L. A. got four
and the other schools two
apiece.

Vebfoots Plot to Even
Washington Cage Series
Eugene, Jan. 25 Coach John
Warren and the Oregon Ducks
have been busy all this week
proparing what they hope will
be a surprise to the powerful
Washington Huskie this Friday
and Saturday nights at McAr
thur court.
The Ducks dropped a pair of
Northern division games to the
Huskies In Seattle last week
end and now the two teams meet
in the final half of the 1950 se
ries. Last year the same situa
tion existed. The Washington
club won both games in Seattle
and then came to Eugene to run
into an improved Oregon team
and lose the final two contests.
Coach' Warren and his
Ducks would like to duplicate
the 1949 results and even the
series again in the final two
games. In addition, this week
end will be dedicated to the
Oregon Dads on the campus
and the Saturday basketball
game will be the climax of the
annual affair. Last year the
Oregon Dads were on the cam
pus for the Washington series
and watched the Ducks win
the pair from the Huskies.

Blind Grappler Pins Handicap
By FRANK ECK
AF Newsfeatures Sports Editor
New York An athlete with a
physical handicap usually has
two strikes against him when
it comes to stiff competition. But
not so with Eugene Augustine
Manfrini, Columbia University s
blind wrestler.
This 21-year-old Bronx youth
is considered one of the best
155-pound collegiate wrestlers
in the east. In two years with
the Light Blue team he has lost
only one bout in some 60 match
es, and that to the eastern 155
pound champion. Ken Hunte of
Syracuse.
Gene Manfrini was born a
perfectly normal son of an
immigrant Italian blacksmith.
At three he contracted mea
sles and says he was blinded
by an overdose of silver nl-
Jtrate in his eyes. He retains
-no visual images in his mcm-
Jory.
At five he enrolled in the New
York Institute for the Education
of the Blind. In 14 years at the
school he learned how a sight
less person can live in a world
of vision. He learned how to
"hear shadows," as he puts it.
i By the time he graduated he
(lad become an honor student,
an accomplished pianist, was a
member of the track team and
ichool chorus. He had won the
junior and senior metropolitan
.AAU wrestling titles, and was
considered a contender for an
(piymplc berth. He has been
Wrestling for the last nine years.
Eugene Manfrini
"It was a lucky day for me
when Clyde Downs, the wrestling
coach, decided that the best
way to channel a 12-year-old's
extra energy was to make him
a wrestler," says Gene. "Since
then, wrestling has become all-
important to me. I don t think
I could get along without it."
And he "gets along" very
well even without the use of
a dog. He walks around the

campus and attends classes
just like the next fellow.
Gene is majoring in music and
hopes someday to become a com
poser and teach the subject. For
his "Humanities" course he
must read 30 classics each sem
ester. Only a few of these are
in Braille so he employs a "read
er" for the rest. He writes most
of his examinations on a stand
ard typewriter except in math
and other technical work where
he takes oral examinations.
As to his ability as a matman,
Columbia Coach Dick Waite says
"Gene has one of the finest sens
es of balance I have ever seen.
He is an intensive student of
wrestling."
As for concessions in the ring,
Gene asks only that spectators
be quiet until contact is made
with his opponent and that the
referee refrain from moving
around while he and his oppon
ent are on their feet.
He is an amazing counter
wrestler, relying on his quick
reflexes and thorough knowl
edge of the sport to slip out
of an opponent's grip and work
into one of his own.
He Is one of the most In
spirational figures around the
Columbia campus. The boys
always look for htm when
someone has trouble opening
a click-type lock In the lock
er room. Gene always steps
up to oblige.
Recently Coach Waite tried to
confuse Gene. Manfrini was
working out with a less experi
enced wrestler. Waite motioned
for the other boy to move out of
the ring while the coach took
his place against his pupil.
Gene applied a half-hearted
hold. He put on more presssure
but the coach, a former champ
ion himself, refused to budge.
With that Gene released the hold
and said:
"Hey, wait a minute. Some
thing's wrong here."
Manfrini, as nimble as he is
strong, recently wrestled Bill
Harvey, a well-conditioned mid
shipman at Annapolis. When
Gene got the decision, nine
points to four, the crowd at the
Naval Academy applauded for a
full minute.
The four leading states in the

SMU Playing Coach Days Over
When Doak's Eligibility Ended
Dallas, Tex., WV-Doak Walk
er has completed his football el
igibility at Southern Methodist
and thus passes from the scene
the fellow the fans called "the
playing coach."
The Doaker, three times All
America, was a smart cookie.
When some one criticized Walk
er in a game last fall for pass
ing on fourth down, Assistant
Coach H. N. (Rusty) Russell
observed:
7$
DOAK WALKER
SMU's "Playing Coach"'
"Walker Is doing all right out
there and I don't aim to get in
his way."
The Doaker was a gambler in
football. Just let SMU get behind
and he'd try anything. It usual
ly worked.
But the Southern Method ist
Notre Dame game indicated that
there'll be a "playing coach;' on
the team again next fall. He's
H. N. Russell, Jr., son of the
assistant coach.
Little Rusty quarterbacked
Southern Methodist flawlessly
in its great showing against
Notre Dame.
With Walker out with injuries,
it had been figured that big
Kyle Rote would do the quar-
terbacking. But Coach Matty
Bell, used Little Rusty, saying
it helped make Rote a better
rnnner.
"We found that when Rote
had to call the plays is impaired
his efficiency as a runner," Bell
said. "So in the game against
Notre Dame, Rote didn't have to
do the thinking."
Rote had his greatest day In
football against the Fighting
Irish.
Little Rusty has a great foot
ball background. He played the
game from the day he could
hold a football because his dad
has been coaching a long time.
And Russell, Sr. is known as
one ot the greatest offensive
coaches in football. Little Rusty
just naturally absorbed about all
there was to know about it from
hanging around his father. He
played at Highland Park (Dal
las) high school and now he has
been at Southern Methodist tow
years. His father came to SMU
as at coach in 1945.
High jumper Dick Phillips of
Brown University won or tied
for every championship in which
he competed in 1949.
