New York (U.R) San Fran cisco maintained its overwhelm ing lead as the nation's No.,1 col lege basketball team today, but unheralded Temple's weekend upset dropped the powerful Kentucky Wildcats to the lowest spot they have ever held in the United Press ratings.. While San Francisco received first-place ballots from 32 of the 35 leading coaches who make up the United Press rating board, Kentucky dropped to sixth place, giying Utah an opportunity to move into the runnerup spot. Never since the United Press ratings were begun in 1950 have Coach Adolph Rupp's Wildcats been slotted so low in any week lyCrankings. In winning the na tional) championship in 1950-51 Santa Says: Buy Appli ances at SPECIALISTS IN HOMEWARES Medford Central Point FREE PARKING and 1951-52 and finishing run nerup in 1953-54 and last season, Kentucky never was picked lower than third during the course of a campaign. Kentucky did not compete in basketball during the 1952-53 season. Temple Spoils Record However, Temple's 73-61 vic tory on the Wildcats' home court at Lexington, Ky., marred this record. The triumph also ad vanced the Owls, who have a 3-0 record, to the No. 17 ranking. Behind runnerup Utah in this week's ratings came North Car olina State, Iowa and Dayton. Alabama, the lone, newcomer in the top ten, ranked No. 7 be hind Kentucky, with Duquesne, Brigham Young and Holy Cross completing the select group in that order. Utah, Iowa and St. Louis, which tied for 14th place, each received one first-place ballot. Of the three coaches who did not vote for San Francisco, two picked the West Coast Dons sec ond and one voted them fifth. Coach Phil Woolpert's team thus received 344 of a possible total of 350 points., Alabama, a new national power which may challenge Kentucky for Southeastern Con ference honors this season, jumped all the way from 18th to sevenlh place after winning the weekend Birmingham Classic. Illinois, upset by Missouri, fell from the No. 7 to the No. 11 spot. Utah Moves Up Utah advanced two notches to second place; Dayton moved up one place to No. 5, while Brig ham Young and Holy Cross ex changed the rankings they had last week. On a 10-9-3-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 point basis for votes from first to 10th places, Utah attracted a total of 245 points 99 less than San Francisco. North Carolina State had 238 points, Iowa 215, Dayton 114 and Kentucky 95. There was a close three-team race for seventh place, Alabama receiving 86 points to 83 for Duquesne and 82 for Brigham Young. Holy Cross had 60. San Francisco may run into trouble this week at the DePaul tournament at Chicago. The Dons play 13th-ranked Mar quette in the opener, Friday night, and if successful, meet the winner of the Duquesne-DePaul game. Behind Illinois in the second 10 group came Kansas and Mar quette. St. Louis was tied with Indiana for 14th place, followed in order by George Washington, Temple, Cincinnati, Louisville and UCLA.

Bobo Olson To Testify In Court San Francisco (U.R) For mer middleweight champion Carl (Fobo) Olson was expected to testify in Federal Court to day in regard to a S500,000 dam age su-'it brought the fighter and his manager by a Honolulu dairynnan. The dairyman, Herbert Vin cent Campos, is seeking dam ages (i grounds Olson ran out on twb contracts to fight under his management, and that man ager !5id Flaherty induced Olson to breach the contracts. Cainpos, asked 5250,000 each from ; Flaherty and the Hawaii-an-bcorn boxer. Campos claimed yesterday that -he cabled Flaherty a re quest, to line up mainland fights for (plson, but Flaherty turned him down with the comment: "I don't say Carl couldn't be dev4loped into a card attraction here., but it would take time." To Mainland In 1951, Campos said, Olson told; an executive meeting of the Territorial Boxing commission in Honolulu that he wanted to go "to the mainland because he covfld not get fights in Hono lulu. TI told him (Olson) he could go to the mainland provided I copld get my contract rights and I ivould get him a manager," Cafmpos said. Olson departed for the main land in 1951 to work under Flkherty, Campos said. The dffiryman testified that during slack periods he advanced Olson as much as $8,300 to meet vari ous bills. Attorneys for both sides agreed that the suit would revolve airound the question of whether the Hawaii Boxing commission htad the right to release Olson firiom his contract with Campos. Olson's attorney, Howard C. "Ellis, brought out the fact that 'me Olson-Campos contract of July 20, 1949, had never been filed with or approved by the Territorial Boxing commission. He also got an admission from Campos that the dairyman had .not taken proper steps, such as filing for a license to enable .Olson to fight in any state other than Pennsylvania. Saddler Beats Gallardo In 7 San Francisco U.R) A joc ular Sandy Saddler, sportiiftg a gory sixth-round technical kijock- out over Dave Gallardo irnder his belt, said today he wi'fl de fend his featherweight title against anybody "if the prnce is right." ' Saddler said this also went for Fred Galliana of Spain.;' who won the Eureopean feather weight championship two mights ago. "Galliana? Oh, yes, I've 'heard of him, and I'll go all the way to Spain to fight him if thejy can make the right deal," Saddler declared. In the meantime, Saddler pre sumably was scheduled to meet Manila's Flash Elorde in a cham pionship bout here next Snonth, but nothing official has, been announced yet. Saddler, at 131V tp Gal lardo's 132, chopped down the former Los Angeles busboy in a bloody, non-title fight last night which had been scheduled for 10 rounds. Referee Jack Downey called the bout off when. Gallar do obviously was too beaten to come out for round seven. BOWLING CLASSIC BOWLING Ray Speer came through with 620 Series in games of 225, 213 and 182 to lead Valley Music to high series for the evening of 2765 in the Classic league, and 3 point win over Hammers Sporting store. Hammers had high game of 992. Norm Hillyer of Medford Furniture had a 220 game. Doc Pruess of Hammers had a 223 game. Jerry Bur roughs of Mogan Lumber had a triple score of 179. Von Poppenheim, Savage to Tussle Fans have been demanding to see a match between the Proud Prussian, Kurt von Poppenheim, and Wild Bull Savage and that tAjjf -. VON POPPENHEIM In GP Bout is the main event on the grap pling card to be presented at the Josephine County Fair grounds arena this Wednesday night. Kurt von Poppenheim was dis qualified in his rugged match with John Paul Henning last week and he demanded a "no disqualification" clause before signing for the match against Savage. Wild Bull Savage was happy to sign for the match. Since Ivan Kameroff took off for Canada, Savage has been the one man riot squad of the Northwest. He is an ex-Navy champion who has lots of ability to throw in with his naturally rough style of wrestling. Savage has been pressing Poppenheim for a match on Portland TV and so far he has been unable to get a match. The one hour semi will match the flashy Mexican star, Alec Perez, against the popular Swede, Thor Hagen. Perez has defeated Buck Weaver and La Chapelle on the last two cards and seems to be a real comer. Hagen knows his wrestling and proved it when he held the great Luther Lindsey to a draw here a few weeks ago.

Presently athletes are eligibe immediately at OCC schools if they have passed 12 hours in the last term or semester at their former schools. A motion was made to require transfers to stay out of competition for 18 weeks but no action was taken. There was discussion of adopt ing a strict limit on financial aid to athletes but no action was taken. Drawings were held for first round opponents in the 1956 OCC baseball tournament at Eastern Oregon May 18-19. The first round .will send Oregon Tech against Southern Oregon and Eastern Oregon against OCE-. Portland State drew a bye. The conference adopted a rub ber football as official. tioned well in its opener but not so effectively in the second scrap. Schopf since has been running the SOC players through heavy drills to get them ready for the experienced Poets. The Ashland club hopes to up its shooting percentage which was only .270 from the field in the second mix with the Wildcats. The Poets have four starters back from last season's South ern California Intercollege Ath letic Conference co-champion team they are Joe Wohlmuth and Stan Hubert, forwards, and Chuck Hasley and George Pier son, guards.

The former University of Ore gon star faces induction into the Army in February, 1957, under the ROTC program. The Portland Beavers express ed interest in Shaw last summer.
