Buckeyes National Champions
New York-ttlPD - Unbeaten
Ohio Stale today became the
first team In history to be
unanimously voted the nation
al college basketball cham
pion by the United Press In
ternational Board of Coaches.
The Buckeyes, heading for
their defense of the NCAA
title next week, swept over
23 opponents this season and
have a two-year 28-game win
ning streak going into their
regular season finale Satur
day. Ohio State, the pre-season
No. 1 choice of the 35 coaches
who comprise the board, lived
up to its billing, holding down
the No. 1 spot each week of
the season and piling up an
unprecedented 35 votes and
350 points in the final week's
balloting. The Buckeyes at
tained another feat never be
fore achieved, being the unan
imous choice five times dur
ing the weekly ratings,
San Francisco, the 1056
champion, previously had
been the closest thing to a
unanimous selection since the
ratings were established in
1950-51, obtaining 32 first
place votes.
Repeat '60 Finish
Cincinnati 23-3 rode an 18-
game winning streak into sec
ond place, the. same spot the
Bearcats finished a year ago.
The Bearcats' late surge un
seated St. Bonaventure, second-ranked
most of the sea
son, and picked up 274 points.
St. Bonaventure 22-3 suf
fered a late season slump but
picked up 266 points to wind
up third.
Kansas State 20-4 finished
fourth and Southern Cali
fornia 19-5 was fifth. Next
came North Carolina 19-4
Bradley 21-5, St. John's 17-5
and Wake Forest 17-10, tied
for the 10th spot.
West Virginia headed the
mountaineers were Utah, St.
Louis, Lousvlllc, St. Joseph's
Pa., Dayton, Kentucky, Texas
Tech and Memphis State.
The final ratings underwent
a shakcup from last week
with Cincinnati replacing St.
Bonaventure in second place;
Kansas State moving up from
fifth to fourth; Southern Cali
fornia Jumping from 10th to
fifth; Bradley sliding from
fourth to seventh; St. John's
advancing one notch from
ninth to eight; Duke dropping
from seventh to ninth and
Iowa, eighth a week ago, fall
ing to 10th.
Make Biggest Jump
Wake Forest, surprise win
ner of the Atlantic Coast Con
ference playoffs, also rcpre
sented the biggest change in
the rankings. The Demon Dea
cons, who didn t get a single
point last week, vaulted Into
10th place with an upset vic
tory over Duke in the ACC
tournament final to climax
their late season rally and fin
ish with an unimpressive 17
10 record.
Ohio Slate, coached by Fred
Taylor and led by All-American
Jerry Lucas, will receive
a permanent trophy symbolic
of the championship from the
UPI.
The UPI Board of Coaches
is made up of 35 top coaches,
five from each of the nation's
geographical regions, and its

ly accepted as the most au
thoritative in the field.

The world champions led
the National league In batting
last season but their 120
home runs placed them sixth
in that department and a gen
eral lack of explosive batting
punch is viewed by their rlv
vals as a possible fatal weak
ness in 1961.
But a visitor to Fort My

been excused for thinking
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig & Co.
had come back to life the way
the Sues were "bustln" the

World Series hero, Dick Stu

as they clouted no less than
21 balls out of the park.

Frank Boiling, who is slat

debut with the Milwaukee

highlights of the Milwaukee

The Chicago Cubs, intra

In Shoot
II3T and NCAA Feuding
New York -lUPll- The feud
still rages al'ler 23 years be
tween those two giant, multi-
Initialed basketball tourna
ments known as the NCAA
and the NIT.
The NIT started big at Mad
ison Square Garden in 1D3B
and the NCAA rose from
humbled beginnings a year
later to become the lop post
season tournament.
This still bugs the boys
from the NIT or, to give it the
full treatment, the National
Invitation Tournament. They
lave been charging for years
Ilia National Collegiate Ath
letic Association (NCAA) has
oecn trying to run 'em out of
Dustiness.
The big rub is that most col
Icrc conferences automatical
y send their champion to the
NCAA playoffs-and refuse to
How the second place team
to compete In the NIT. You
qualify for the NCAA or your
tcason is over.
"We'd be perfectly happy
10 invite some of those good
runnors-up," said one NIT fig-
jre. "Hut what's the use? We
enow they wouldn't accept."
tome Okay It
A few conferences do okay
JIT participation. Bradley,
cond in the Missouri Valley
to Cincinnati last year, came
down to the big town and won
the NIT. The Skyline will be
represented In b o t h the
NCAA and NIT this year.
But the Atlantic Coast, Ivy,
Big Ten, Big Eight and Big
Five are among those that go
only NCAA and that takes a
big bite out of the potential
guest list for the Garden.
"There Is no set NCAA
rule," according to lUiinrr
Cooke of the National Collcgi
ate Athletic Bureau, "except
that we allow no conference
runners-lip in the NCAA
championship no mailer how
good a team it might be.
"The fooling nlwnys has
been that if a team isn't good
enough to win in lis ow n con
ference It doesn't rate a
chance to become a national
champion."
Most conferences feci their
big race is their own back
yard league campaign. An
NCAA bid is merely a bonus.
Hut a runner-uu. thev fimirn
doesn't rate a bonus.
Originally, the NCAA mart.
ed as an eight-team tourna
ment, one from each of the
eight NCAA districts. It ran
Hint way through 1H50 when
the format was changed lo
bring in conference champs
and at-large members so the
field totalled roughly 24.
NIT Protests
The NIT promptly charged
the NCAA was stealing all the
top teams.
"Actually," said Cooke, "we
were only trying to get
enough brackets to make it a
true national championship.
Wd wanted to be sure all the
leading candidates had an op
portunity to play."
The expansion, however,
coincided with the basketball
bribe scandals that broke
around teams that had been
more or less regulars at the
Garden. Among those clob
bered by the law was City
College of New York which,
in 111511, became the only team
ever to make It a grand slam
by winning both the NCAA
and NIT titles the samp year.
There was a rush out of the
Garden and back to the cam
pus by many a school and or '
its conference fathers.
So the NCAA championship
has become a sprawling road ;
show that only rarely uses the
Garden for a night or two. I
Hut when you've got the big :
ones - including Ohio State,
Cincinnati and St, llonaven-ture-you
don't need Iho Gnr-1
den to draw a crowd. 1
