TUESDAY. DECEMBER 20, 18S0 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Ohio State Rated Top Collegiate Team for Third C onsecutive Week Bradley in Runnerup Spot Again New York-ftJPD-Ohio State's defending national college basketball champions re ceived just one point short of a perfect score today in lead ing the United Press Interna tional ratings for the third straight week. Thirty-four of the 35 coach es who comprise the UPI ma jor college rating board made the Buckeye their No. 1 choice this week. One coach picked St. Bonaventure first and Ohio State second. That gave the Big Ten powerhouse 349 out of a pos sible 350 points and matched the all-time high total com piled by Ohio State two weeks ago. Bradley was runnerup for the third week in a row; In diana moved back to the No. 3 rating, and UCLA and Louis ville joined the top 10 group in the eighth and ninth places. St. John's of New York and St. Bonaventure each jumped two notches to the No. 4 and 5 rankings, followed in order by Detroit, North Carolina, UCLA, Louisville and Kansas. Providence and Cincinnati, which occupied the 9th and 10th rankings last week, dropped out of the top 10. Providence, though still un defeated, was ranked 17th. Kansas State headed the second 10 group, followed in order by Duke, St. Louis, California, Colorado, Auburn, Providence, North Carolina State and Wake Forest. There was a tie for 20th place be tween Vanderbilt and Utah State. Buckeyes Win 5th Straight By GARY KALE Unitod Preu International Ohio State and Bradley are confirmed headuners this sea son, but don't discount the progress made by California, runner-up to the Buckeyes in tne 1B00 NCAA basketball championships. Top-ranked Ohio slate won its fifth straight Monday night by beating previously unde feated Loyola of Illinois, 90-56. The Buckeyes, however, may run into trouble Thurs day when they meet sixth ranked Detroit, which made it five out of six this season with an 80-75 victory over Gonzaga. Bradley, the No. 2 team in the nation, swept to its sev enth consecutive win, a 97-68 triumph over Idaho, while California, fighting to gain a place among the top ten teams, made Northwestern its fifth straight victim, 62-40. Ohio State scored 59 points in the second half to win its 23rd game in the last 24 play ed.

Jerry Lucas had 19 points for Ohio State. Bradley won its 40th straight home game with a 52 per cent performance from the field in the second half. Chel Walker led the Braves with 29 points. He was taken out with five minutes left after a brief brawl with Ray Carolan, who paced Idaho with 25 points. California, currently rank ed 14th by the United Press International Board of Coach es, appears to be getting along quite well without Darrall Imhoff. The Golden Bears handed Northwestern its fourth straight loss as Stan Morrison led all scorers with 14 points. Fifth ranked St. Bonaven ture and seventh - ranked North Carolina, swept to vic tory as did Duke and Vander bilt in other key games.

Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International Shrine Game Coaches Meet San Franciseo-TOPD-Coaches of both East and West teams began strategy huddles today in preparation for the Dec. 31 Shrine classic here. The players will arrive Thursday. First to arrive was coach Bill Barnes of UCLA, hend coach of the West team. Coach Joe Verducci of Sun Fran cisco Stale was already around, and Abe Martin of Texas Christian checked in to day. Head coach Milt Bruhn of Wisconsin and assistants Joe Kuharich of Notre Dame and Frank Howard of Clemson, the East mentors, also arrived Monday. Also checking in was venerable Andy Kerr, long time t,oigaie coach and pres ently business manager for the East. By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International Boca Raton, Fla. - IUPII -Slammin' Sammy Snead ad mitted today that the clock and the calendar wait for no man and his big dream may be dead. Sam needs no chip and pull credentials. Hp has won ior I golf tournaments, more than any man In the history of the game, and yet he hasn't "won them all." At 48, lie's still looking with an ever more jaundiced eye for his first win in the U.S. Open and about ready to concede that It may never come. 'Now don't be savin I've given up completely," Sam frowned. "I think maybe I've got a couple more chances to win." The tone, however, indi cates a man whistling past the graveyard. There are two recent indi cations thai Sam has "had it" on the rigorous tournament trail. In the Canada Cup in Ireland last summer he had a three stroke lead over Bel gium's Flory Van Donck go ing into the last round - and blew it. In the West Palm Beach Open two weeks ago he was three shots in front of young Johnny Poll as they slartcd the final round - and blew it by three. Last-Round Fatigue "Maybe, unconsciously. I'm gelling tired in the lasl round," Snead assented as he contemplated both of those finishes. "This year I'm really gonna go into training, like a fighter, before the Open. You can bet 1 11 be ready." Snead always has been noted as a well-conditioned man whose perfect swing was enhanced by the fact that he neither drinks nor smokes But more than one star hus Shop now pay later!

Ills insnrewt et frovs rate it eveileUi M oil leant been driven off the tour by the putting miseries and Sam of late has taken, to fighting and cussing those short three and four foolers which mean the difference between victory and defeat. The swing still is there but the short putts are a phobia. , . He overlooks two olher facts. He will be 49 before the next Open. And the time has passed that he can dismiss his nerves when it comes to the Open. It's a heart-breaking story lor one of the golfing im mortals. Psychological Barrier He had the Open won by his first try when Ralph Gul dahl came swinging through the dusk to relegate him to second place in 1937. Two years later he needed a par five to win it all - and took his memorable hacker's eight on the last hole, and four times he has finished second the tournament which ranks as the biggest of them 11. Now the years are abetting what has become a seemingly insurmountable psychological barrier. The latter aparcntly was enough. There was a well heeled afficionado of the tour who said, during a roundtable discussion of the Snead "open nerves" while the Coral Gables tournament was being played last week: "Put up $100 every time he plnys in the Open. If he wins it, I'll pay you $5,000." There were no lakers. ' It is to be doubled that even Sam, with his great affinity for money, would take such a wager. The burden when they hand him the pencil and scorecard in the Open is too much for him to carry now.

The lakers then came back to tie the score at halftime 59-59. Some hot outside shooting by ex-Mississippi Stale star Bailey Howell paced the Pis tons to an 87-84 advantage at the end of the third period. In the final quarter, how ever, the Pistons were cold from the field, scoring only 16 points, while Baylor warmed up again with four field goals to spark the Lakers to victory. The Pistons drove to with in one point of the Lakers with 35 seconds left in the game wnen guard Gene Shue, who led Detroit scorers with 30 points, hit on a 20-foot Jump shot.

The 1961 licenses are available at lic ense agents throughout the state. Sportsmen are urged to purchase the new licenses as soon as possible so they won't be caught short at the begin ning of the new season.

Juvenile hunt ing andor fishing licenses re main at $2 for persons from 14 to 17 years of age. In addi tion to an angling license, per sons who Intend to angle for salmon and steclhead during 1961 must also purchase the $1 salmon and steelhcad lic ense. Juveniles Advised Juvenile hunters, regardless of age, who intend to hunt for big game animals during the 1961 seasons are requested to have the regular adult hunt ing license. Young hunters are advised to take this into con sideration when purchasing licenses since refunds cannot be made on juvenile licenses.

The latest mentor to enter the Redskins' revolving em ployment door is 34-year-old Bill McPeak, a handsome, balding giant who used to play a lot of defensive end for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
