By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
Thanks to some fancy free
throw shooting, Illinois rocket
ed along at the head of the pack
In the hot Big Ten basketball
race today, picking up speed in
its bid to catch San Francisco
in the United Press national
rankings.
The Illini, carefully sinking
31 out of 37 foul toss attempts,
visited Minnesota Monday night
and notched a 95-84 victory.
The triumph hoisted Illinois'
perfect conference record to 5-0,
when a loss would have meant
dropping into a tie for first
place with idle Iowa. What's
more, it extended Illinois' win
ning streak to 11 games and
its overall record to a gaudy
12-1.
Illini Coach Harry Combes is
shooting for his fourth Big Ten
crown in nine years. The next
game Illinois plays, against In
diana next INOjnday, will be its
200th under Combes and a win
would put him over the .800
mark.

ence clash at Atlanta, Kentucky
bounced back into the victory
column with an 84-62 decision
over Georgia Tech more re
venge for Tech's two wins over

pushed its record to 14-2 by
swamping Georgetown, D. C,
88-68; Purdue took third place
