NEW YORK Wl-With the cam
paign just about half over, the list
of unbeaten college basketball
teams was down to five today and
by the time tonight's action is over
another of the clubs witn unsul
lied records could topple.
Western Kentucky, winner of 19
games the highest total among
major college teams faces Bowl
ing Green, a tough customer in
any league. If Bowling Green can't
handle the assignment, Metson and
Eastern Kentucky will get pot
shots at Ed Diddle's boys later
in the week.
3 Kentucky Games
If the Hiiltoppers get past this
week, they should go through the
remainder of Ihe season without
a smirch on their record.
Kentucky, tne No. 1 team in the
weekly Associated Press poll of
sports writers and sportscasters,
has three games on tap for the
week's action, but no one would
dare predict that cither Georgia
Tech (winless) or Georgia will of
fer any more than token resistance.
The Wildcats have a skein of 13
victories. 1
Duque.tne, which has been fight
ing the Wildcats for tho top spot
arid which certainly is the best
the East has to offer figures to
make Villanova victim No. 18 to
night. Connecticut, the other major
unbeaten, will face a stiff test
Wednesday night when it goes up
against Eordham, the class of the
New York schools with a 12-2 rec
ord. The Nutmeggcrs have won 14.
The only other unbeatcr is little
Norwich, which boasts 12 triumphs.
Erskine. another little fellow
among the big powers, dropped a
102-85 decision to Belmont Abbey
Saturday night and thus fell from
the group of undefcatcds.
53 Points hy Sclvy
Unless they cover the basket or
make him shoot blindfolded, fab
ulous Frank Selvy of Ftirman
should break the three-year scoring
record of 1,888 points held by Kan
sas' Clyde Lovelletle when his crew
tackles Clemson toniht. Lovellette
set the mark two years ago.
Selvy warmed up to the task
Saturday night by dropping
points through the hoop as Furman
vanquished the Citadel, 114-72. He
now has 1,879 with 14 games still
to go.
Seattle owns the longest winning
streak in the country after whip
ping Portland last night for No. 20.

The Willamette EearcaU are
saying "ouch" after colliding
Saturday night with a hepped-up
Pacific Badger quintet which
(lapped down the Northwest
conference leaders, 64-58.
Out-rebounded and outshot in
the second half, Willamette fad
ed from a 48-43 lead at the end
of the third quarter and was out-
scored 21-12 in the deciding per-
ioa. it marxea tne return to ac
tion for Willamette after a two-
week layoff.
The conference schedule for
this week:
Tuesday Linfield at Lewis
and Clark.
Friday Lewis and Clark at
Willamette.
Saturday Willamette at Lewis
and Clark, Pacific at Linfield.
The needle-threading eyes of
Pacific's Danny French (21
points), Norm Hubert (18) and
Clint Agee (14) were too much
at the wrong times. The fouling
out of Dick Hoy and Jerry Mc
Callister for Willamette did not
help the Bearcats a mite, either.
Quartertime scores were 14-9
for Pacific, 30-29 for Willamette
and 4643 for Willamette. Pete
Reed .high for the Bearcats, hit
eight of Willamette's nine in the
first quarter, and Tom Gooding,
next with 15, made nine of Wil
lamette's 16 in the third per
iod. Fast Break Slowed
Willamette's fast break offense
was slowed down to a walk in
the second half when Pacific
dropped three men back when the
ball changed hands. Pacific used
a man-to-man defense which re
sembled a zone because of its
immobility.
The Badgers took the lead at
51-50 on a shot by a reserve,
Gene Dasher, and stayed ahead.
In tho next few minutes, Pacific
added eight points to none for
Willamette on three buckets and
two free throws and the margin
was too great to overcome in the
last five minutes.

Leahy's Move
Stuns; Result
Of His Health
By TOM BRANAGAN
SOUTH BEND, lad. Wl-Frank
Leahy resigned as football coach
at Notre Dame yesterday in
move so startling that it stunned
even his assistants from whose
ranks a successor likely will be
chosen.
Leany. 45, announced he was
stepping out because of his health.
He feared the "possibly fatal"
consequences of another attack of
pancreatitis, a stomach disorder
that put him in bed in the middle
of last season.
His exit followed an 11-season
career second only to Knutc
Rockne s in success.
Lujack Surprised
Backfield Coach Johnny Lujack
one of those mentioned as a pos
sible successor, said, "I just can't
believe it; I was convinced Frank
would never leave Notre Dame."
Lujack knew nothing of the de
cision until advised by reporters
at his Chicago home. Leahy him
self indicated he had talked the
matter over with only one Notre
Dame official the Rev. Theodore
Hesburgh, president of the Cath
olic university. "I haven't even
talked to (Athletic Director) Ed
Krause," said Leahy.
It was Leahy who actually was
responsible for the surprise sur
rounding the announcement. As
late as last week, he had laughed
off queries about his future at
Noire Dame. Many times he had
said he wanted to stay at Notre
Dame "as long as they want me.
But apparently doctors con
vinced him coaching was becom
ing too much of a strain. He said
he now is considering three or
four business opportunities.
Leahy gave the only hint of a
possible course in an interview in
Chicago, saying any one of his
aides "is capable of taking over."
His assistants are Bob McBride,
Terry Brennan, Lujack. Bill Early.
Joe McArdle, Walt Ziemha and
Johnny Druzc. All except McArdle
and Druzc are former Notre Dame
stars. These two were picked up
by Leahy from Ferdham,
he served as line coach
'.10s.
