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

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. Loyola, suffering its first
setback in six games, made
itc lose in the first half by
tying the Buckeyes at 23-all
But the Ohioans whent ahead
to a 31-26 halftime advantage
and then pulled away after
intermission. 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.
The Bonnics, running their
winning string to six, defeat
ed Western Ontario, 86-49,
Tom Stith connected with 29
points.
North Carolina beat Creigh-
ton College 72-64. Unbeaten
Duke defeated Georgia Tech
61-48.
Vanderbilt reserve forward
Don Ringstaff sank two foul
shots with 30 seconds remain
ing to beat Texas Tech, 80-78,
Elsewhere, Don Nelson's 34
points helped Iowa set a team
scoring record as the Hawk-
eyes beat Arizona, 105-64;
Gary Daniels netted 30 points
in The Citadel's 82-72 defeat
of Georgia; Cincinnati return
ed to the winning column by
upending Nebraska, 75-60;
Ray Swain's lay up with 20
seconds to go brought Florida
State a 65-64 win over Clem
son; Illinois downed Washing
ton State, 56-50; Drake topped
Wyoming, 75-54; Southern
Methodist edged Minnesota,
63-60, and Wichita rolled over

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

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.

to lead the Los Angeles Lakers,
to a 107-103 victory over the

Baylor scored 16 points in

that at one point reached 10
points in the second period.
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

1961 Licenses
Now Available
From Agencies
Portland Fishermen
hunters if you Intend to fish
or hunt on January 1, a 1961
license is required. 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.
Resident license fees re
main the same as last year,
$4 for an angling license, $4
for a hunting license or $7
for a combination hunting and
fishing license. 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.
In other words, youngsters
who purchase the juvenile
hunting license and later de
cide to hunt big game will
have to pungle up an addi
tional $4 for the regular adult
license.
All license agents are re
quired by law to charge 25
cents for each license of $5
or more and 10 cents for each
license under $5. This addi
tional charge by the agents is
to help defray their expenses
and time in handling hunting
and fishing licenses.

classy 22-year-old southpaw,
officially was acknowledged
the National League's No. 1

basis of his 2.70 earned run
average.
It was the third straight
year that a Giants' pitcher led
the league in earned runs.
Sam Jones gained the tille in
1959 and Slu Miller in 1958.
McCormick, who won 15
games and lost 12, yielded
only 76 earned runs in 253 in
nings striking out 154 baiters
while walking only 65.
' Only two other pitchers
who appeared in at least 154
innings compiled earned run
averages of less than three

centage and Don Drysdale of
Los Angeles each checked in
with 3.00.
Spahn, Broglio Win 21
Lindy McDaniel, the Card
inals' ace reliever, registered

age in the league, finishing
wilh .750 on 12 victories and
only four defeats,
Warren Spahn, Milwaukee's
39-year-old southpaw, tied
Broglio for the most victories.
Each won 21 games. Spahn, a
20-game winner for the 11th
time, also tied teammate Lew
Burdette and Vern Law of the
Pirates for the .most complete
games. Each went the distance
18 times.
Workhorse Larry Jackson
of the Cardinals made the
most starts, 38, pitched the
most innings, 282, and faced
the most batters. 1,173. He
and Burdette yielded the most
hits, 277 each.
Drysdale Strikeout King
Drysdale was the league's
strikeout king for the second
straight season, sclting 246
men down on strikes, while
Jack Sanford of the Giants
hurled six shutouts for the
lead in that category.
Bob Buhl of the Braves
walked the most batters, 103,

Washington Hires
New Grid Coach
Washington-(UPl)-The Wash
ington Redskins had a new
head coach today-their 11th
in the past 24 years.
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.
McPeak was given a one
year contract "at his own re
quest," owner George Preston
Marshall noted at an esti
mated $18,000." He promptly
announced he would view
game movies of the past sea
son, grade individual perform
ances and weed out any dead
wood, of which there appar
ently is considerable.
While McPeak held the cen
ter of the stage Monday, the
drama and pathos belonged to
his deposed predecessor-popular
Mike. Nixon who hired
McPeak as his top assistant
two years ago.
Philosophises
Nixon sat quietly in his tiny
office and philosophized with
out bitterness over his dismis
sal. "Don't let anyone kid you,"
he remarked, "it hurts like
hell to get fired. But I have
no complaints. Mr. Marshall
has been good to me and he's
not as hardboiled as some peo-
