TUESDAY. Oregon In Ratings; Bearcats Still By JOE SARCIS UPI Sporii Writer New York-flJPb-NCAA tour nament bound New York Uni i versity, a semi-finalist in the post-season carnival three years ago, moved into the United Press International major college basketball rat ings top 10 lor the first time this season today while Cin cinnati retained the No. 1 spot for the 13th straight week. NYU, which lost four of Its first five players at the start of the season because of schol astic difficulties, gained the No. 10 spot this week with only two weeks left before the crowning of the national champion. The Violets, paced by Barry Kramer, the nation's second highest scorer, and Harold Hairston, one of the four scholastic failures who came back at mid-season, play in the NCAA eastern region al at Philadelphia March 11. Mississippi Stale, the South eastern Conference leader which more than likely will turn down the automatic NCAA tourney berth if it wins the league title because of racial policies, moved back into the top 10 after a week's absence. The Rebels advanced from 11th to seventh and NYU from 12th to 10th. Buckeyes Advance There were three other changes Jn the (op 10 this week as Ohio State, national champion last two seasons, continued its advance and Wichita, sixth a week ago, dropped to ninth after losing to Bradley, 64-63, Saturday. Wichita, which has accepted a National Invitation Tourney bid, is the team that handed Cincinnati its only loss of the season. The Buckeyes, who whipped Jowa Saturday for their sev enth win in-a-row, moved up from a seventh-place tie with Stanford to sixth. Stanford, the Big Six Conference lead er, slipped to eighth. The Bearcats, meanwhile, added victories over North Texas Stale and Tulsa to run their record to 21-1. That earned them 33 first-place votes from the 35-member UPI rating board. The ratings were based on games played through last Saturday. Duke, the Atlantic Coast Conference champion which now has to compete in a leaiiuc playoff to determine who rocs to the NCAA tour ney, held onto second place picking up the two first-place voles which didn't go to Cln cinnatl. Loyola Stays Third ' Loyola of Chicago remained third, despite adding victories over St. John's of New York and Houston for a 23-1 record; Arizona Slate, which clinched the Western Athletic Confer ence title Saturday and the automatic NCAA tourney berth thai goes with it, held onto fourth place, and Illinois, battling Ohio State for the Big Ten championship, re mained fifth.

Georgia Tech slipped from 10th to 12th despite beating Georgia in overtime Saturday, and Colorado from ninth to 13th, even though the Buffa loes downed conference rival Oklahoma State, 49-40. Texas, which won the Southwest Conference title Saturday by defeating South ern Methodist, 92-76, headed the second 10 this week, ad vancing from H Ui to 11th. Following in older behind Georgia Tech and Colorado to complete the second 10 were Colorado Slate U., Texas Western, UCLA, Auburn, Providence, Oregon State and St. Joseph's, Pa. A total of 11 teams among Happy Camp Eyes Play On Diamond Happy Camp, Calif.-ilappy Camp High, which was the undefeated Evergreen league baseball champion of 1962, is making plans for the 1963 season with Coach Kim Brad- shaw mulling over what he has and what he needs for a well-rounded aggregation. - Bradshaw said that "the loss of four seniors and trans fer of a third baseman will leave third and first buses open for grabs." Loss of Mike Nevens, who transferred to Yrcka, and Chuck Sulcliffe, who gradu ated, may be felt since they were the team's offensive leaders. Sutcliffc's pitching also may be felt but the Indians will have sophomores Robbie Ldmunds and Rudy Murlcen to backbone the hill staff. Last year Edmunds pitched a no-hlltcr. He was 2-2 for the season with a 3.76 earned run average. He WHlkcd just six men. Muneen had a 2 0 re corded and 2.72 ERA. Returning outfielders Dave Roads and Ray Metcalf should bolster the offense. Roads swatted .384 in 1B62 and led in base hits. Metculf broke into the lineup in Into season and swatted .539.. Jim Roads will strengthen outfield de fense. He was errorless last season and hit a respectable .278. Dennis llobbs, second base man, and Kenny Ilnckaday, shortstop, should help pull the infield together. The two did not have high hitting averages In 1062 but had the ability to wham the ball and get on base. The two last year scored 26 of the Indian's 75 runs. Van Ilarndcn is a good bet to help make up for infield losses. He shows promising defense at first base. Catching looks strong, al though not deep. A sophomore or freshman may be called to back lctterman Joey Davis. Davis, who caught errorless ball In 1962 has been strengthening his arm through the winter. Bradshaw looks for good defense and fair offense. He said thai the pitchers should give Happy Camp a good sea son, barring sore arms or In juries. Ashland, Ore., Yrcka and Weed loom as tough custom cis on the schedule. First games will be on March ID at Fort Jones. for Cold Conditions or 664-1217 the top 20 already have Be ccpted or won outright berths in the NCAA or NIT. Besides New York U., Cicinnatl, Ari zona State, Texas and Wich ita, teams scheduled for post season paly include Loyola, III., Colorado Stale, Texas Western, Oregon Stale and St. Joseph's in the NCAA and Providence in the NIT.

The Orioles skipper called his batterymen together after their normal workout Monday night and gave them a written "true or false" test on various phases of pitching. "We're just getting every body together for a sort of seminar on pitching," said Hitchcock, a pretty fair stu dent himself during his under graduate days at Auburn. "I think it's good to get the pitchers talking about pitch ing and I hope to stimulate a little interest in that direc tion." The 40-question quiz Includ ed such "posers'" as: -Should a pitcher shake off a catcher? -Should the pitcher cover home plate on wild pitches and passed balls? -It is more difficult to bunt a high pitch successfully than a low pitch? "Our veteran pitchers may find the quiz a little easy," conceded Prof. Hitchcock. Dark Delivers Lecture While Hitchcock was con ducting his unique class at Miami, Manager Alvin Dark of the San Francisco Giants delivered a lecture on com placency at Casa Grande, Ariz., where the National leaguers are preparing to de fend their pennant. "I can't possibly conceive of a major league team suffer ing complacency," Dark said in his sternest tones. "That word has no place in my mind, or of the players. They know they can win because they ve done It." Reminded that no National league team has repeated as champion in the past five years, the Giants' boss said, "complacency didn't have anything to do with Milwau kee, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati not repeating. They ran out of luck and inlo injuries, that's all. "This is just a tough league to repeat in; it is so strong. If complacency can ruin a club nobody has told the Yankees Indians Wind Up Undefeated Happy Camp, Calif. - (ITU -The Happy Camp Indians end. ed their second consecutive basketball season unbeaten in the Evergreen league after their win here last week over Fort Jones 77 to 2!. A preliminary game was also won by Happy Camp 46 to 34, for a 4 and 2 Evergreen League win-loss standing for that team. Coach Bob Hnkanson hon ored five seniors on the var sity by starting them in the closing till of the season Starters were Dennis llobbs. Rav Metcalf, Jim Holesapplc Kenny Hockaday, and Jim Roads. This ends the season for Ihe Indians except for the Susan villc Invitational tournament March 8 and 9. 1 Roundup the meaning of the word, ob viously. Yanks Get Good Newt The Yankees received good news at their Fort Lauder dale, Fla., camp when veteran relief pitcher Luis Arroyo pitched during an intra-squad game and later reported no pain in his arm. "I threw hard and used plenty of screwballs," said the portly Puerto Rican, who worked only 34 innings last year because of wing trouble. Mike McCormick, the sore shouldered southpaw obtained by the Orioles from the Giants during the off-season, pitched batting practice for an extend ed period without impressing Coach Harry Brecheen. "He seems to be 'short-aiming' the ball," said Brecheen. Lary, Still Question Mark For Tigers This Year By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Writer Lakeland, Fla.-IUPD-Detroit Manager Bob Scheffing squinted through the strong sunlight, pointed to Frank Lary on the pitching mound and said, "Our chances de pend a lot on that fellow out there." "If he can pitch like he did in 1961, we'll be all right," he predicted. Although the 1962 season is history, it's one that Schef fing can't forget. We would have won the pennant, he insisted, if Lary and Al Kallne hacin t been hurt. The Yankees were ready to be taken. They had an off year and still won - but only because Lary was of little use to us and Kaline was out for two months. "They are Ihe heart cf our ball club. With them, I have few worries. Without them -well, you can forget about our pennant chances." Lary, a 23-game winner in 1961, came up with a sore shoulder and arm last season and won only two games. Kaline, one of the league's power hitters, was sidelined two months with a broken collar bone. "I don't anticipate any trouble," he said. With Lary, it's a different situation.

"Up to now, everything seems all right," Lary said. "I haven't felt any pain and I have every reason to be optimistic." Scheffing watched Lary throw for a while. "Wait and See" "You just have lo wait and see in a cafe like this," Schef fing explained. "I'm going to let him do his own training. I want him to take it easy. He knows what Is best for him." Beattv May Form Team New York - 0JPII - Mile Star Jim Beatty disclosed today that the Los Angeles track club is considering forming a four-mile relay team "which could break 16 minutes." The current world four-mile relay record of 16:08.9 is held by a University of Oregon team on which Dyrol Burle son ran the anchor leg. A four-mile relay under 16 min utes would mean an average of a sub-four-minute mile for each runner. Beatty said the Los Angeles T. C. relay would include him self. Jim Grelle. Bob Schul.
