St. Louis and Wake Forest, two mighty good teams that have been forced to play "second fid dle" so far in their own leagues, launched twin drives today for a bigger share of basketball glory. The St. Louis Billikens, ranked 16th nationally but overshadow ed in the Missouri Valley con ference by llth-ranked Bradley, racked up an important 49-45 victory over the Oklahoma Aggies Tuesday night at Still water, Okla., to shove their sea son record to an excellent 12-5. Wake Forest, ranked 14th na tionally but faced with the tough task of beating top-ranked North Carolina, notched an im pressive 77-59 victory over Duke at Winston-Salem, N. C, to make its record 13-3. Stole Spotlight These victories over high ranked foes stole the spotlight Tuesday night from Louisville, the nation's No. 6. team, which walloped Loyola of the South, 79-53, for its ninth straight vic tory and also a 13-3 record. The St. Louis victory moved the Billikens into a second-place tie with Wichita in the Missouri Valley league at 5-1, only one game behind Bradley. And St. Louis and Bradley still are sched uled to meet twice next month, on Feb. 13 and 23. Ken Lane Choice Over Frank Ryff Norfolk, Va. (U.R) Kenny Lane, the No. 2 lightweight con tender, ruled an 8-5 favorite to gain his 11th straight victory tonight in his nationally-televised and broadcast return bout against blond Frankie Ryff of New York. Lane whipped Ryff once on a unanimous decision in Miami last November, a defeat that knocked fancy-boxing Frankie right out of -the 135-pound class rankings. Ryff, who cits. easily and lacks punching power, is burn ing for a revenge triumph that would restore him to the charm ed circle of contenders for the crown now worn by Joe Brown of New Orleans. YANKS INVITED New York (U.R) The Un ited States has been invited to send a six-man track and field team to compete in Europe in June and according to Dan Fer ris, secretary-treasurer of the National AAU, the team will be picked on the basis of perform ances in the American indoor championships in Madison Square garden, Feb. 23.
