UNUSUAL LOW There's a difference of opin ion on whether more fouls should have been tooted 'on Crater high in its basketball game with Phoenix Saturday night but the low number, only four, and all in the second half, dates as unusual, at least. B Leaguers Vie Tonight On 3 Courts There is nothing but non league activity this week for basketball quintets of the South ern Oregon Conference Big Four. Leader of the Big Four, Med- ford's potent Black Tornado, which rested last week, swings back into competition with a kings-x series, opposing Marsh field at Coos Bay on Friday fend Saturday. The rip-roaring Tor nado won't be seen on its home court until February 12 when it entertains Grants Pass.

OSC ranked 19th last week but now is tied with Holy Cross for 15th in the nation. UCLA tops the PCC teams, ranking in seventh position. behind top-ranked Kentucky to day in the United Pres college basketball ratings. , During the slowed-down activ ity because of mid-season exam inations, Kentucky remained the nation's No. 1 team for the sixth straight week, but, two new teams broke into this week's top 10. Minnesota, the Big Ten lead er, returned to the select group after an absence of one week, and Marquette, possessor of the nation's longest winning streak, made it for the first time this season. Coach Adolph Rupp's Wild cats, who labored through a 75 71 victory over Vanderbilt last Saturday, received 22 first-place votes from the 35 leading coaches who made up the United Press Rating Board, but their point margin over the runner up team was reduced from 83 to 33 points. Dons Tough Defensively San Francisco, the best de fensive team in college basket ball with an average yield of only 49.7 per game, was the No. 1 choice' of nine coaches. Kentucky, winner in 12 of its first 13 games, outscored the West Coast team in points, 321 to 288. The Dons, under Coach Phil Woolpert, are rescaling the heights they enjoyed in 1949 when they won the National In vitation tournament in New York. Last weekend, San Fran cisco knocked off Stanford and California, two Pacific Coast conference teams. . Minnesota (10-5) jumped five places to ninth after regaining the Big Ten lead, and Marquette which as won 15 straight games after losing its season opener, advanced three notches to 10th place.

"That is, it's the greatest thing since Jan. 8!" - Kentucky has been on fire for revenge ever since Tech, using only five players for the entire game, scored that first surprise at Lexington, Ky., smashing Kentucky's 129-game home court winning streak and 32-game all games winning streak.' ': .But this time Tech led all the way, sometimes by as much as nerup, produced some changes near the top of the ratings. Utah (I4-2Y moved ud one place to third behind San Francisco, and LaSalle (14-4) jumped two spots to fourth. ' ' North Carolina State, beaten by Villanova for its fourth set back in 20 games, fell from sec ond to sixth place.
