Irish Go
To Sixth
In Vote
By HUGH FULLERTON JR
.' NEW YORK (fl Until ona of the
five top teams takes a resounding
tumble, the race for the top of the
college basketball heap looks like
. a closed affair, with five "haves'
outdistancing a' large group of
"have nots."
The first five teams in the week
ly Associated Press poll remained
unchanged this week, although
there was one change in their
order, as 127 sports writers and
broadcasters sent in- ballots.
The undefeated (11-0) Kentucky
wildcats reamed in the No, 1
spot with first-place votes from 42
of the 127 experts. Their point to
tal, on the usual basis of 10 for
.first, 9 for second, etc., mounted
to 1,108.
SECOND
Duquesne, In second nlacc
celved 30 firsts and 999 points and
third-place Indiana 16 firsts and
905 points.
Western Kentucky1, running its
winning streak to 16 straight
games, moved ahead of Oklahoma
A&M 'into fourth place, reversing
their positions, of a week ago.
Western polled 769 points to the
AgglCS' 607. I
Then came a big drop in the
point ratings and, indicative of the
quick changes that can take place
when one of the leaders Is beaten,
Notre Dame was ranked sixth with
221 points.
IRISH UP
r A week ago ihe Irish collected
only a few scattered points in the
poll, but Notre Dame handed Holy
Cross its first defeat last week.
And this, combined with an other
wise good record, moved the Irish
into the place vacated by the Cru
saders. Holy Cross dropped to eighth be-
hind Oklahoma City. Other major
switches In the rankings saw
George Washington, also beaten
for the first time, slip from
seventh place to 10th and Duke,
taking Its fourth , defeat, from
ninth to lath.

Eighth In
Balloting
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Milwaukie's rangy veterans, un
defeated in 11 games, are Oregon's
best high school basketball team,
sportswrlters believe.
They were far In front In the
first Associated Press poll of the
season, polling eight of the 11 votes
for first place and getting 94 points
in the balloting.
Corvallls, another tall team,
nosed out Marshfleld, defending
state champion, for second place
with 76 votes to 74.
Eugene, 1953 state tournament
finalist, was fourth with 47 points,
one more than Roosevelt of Port
land, No. 6. Next, in order, came
Gresham, Redmond, Grant3 Pass
and Central Catholio of Portland.
Albany and Baker tied for 10th.
Marshfleld, Albany and Redmond
each received one first-place vote,
which brought 10 points In the bal
loting. A second-place vote was
good for 9, third-place 8, etc.

Don Schlundt Cracks
Big 10 Scoring Mark
By BEN PHLEGAR
NEW YORK Iff) At his present
pace big Don Schlundt is going
to run out of. records to break
long before he finishes his spec
tacular basketball career at Indi
ana University,
The 6-foot-9 center, Just ap
proaching the midway point in his
Junior year, already owns the in
dividual scoring records for many
of the Midwest's main basketball
arenas. Last night, he added two
more prizes to his Ions string
the Big Ten mark and the record
for his home floor at Btoomington.
Shooting with amazing accuracy,
he scored 47 points as the hurrying
Hoosiers ran away from Ohio
State 94-72 for their sixth straight
conference triumph. ,
OLD MARK .
The old Big ten mark of 43 by
Iowa's Dick Ives had stood for 10
years. Schlundt's total was 11
above the former Indiana field
house mark as he connected on
16 field goals in 27 attempts and
on 15 of 17 free throws.
Indiana, No. 3 behind Kentucky
and Duquesne, was the only mem
ber of the nation's top 10 teams
in action last night. Three of the
second 10 were busy with Mary
land, No. 14, whipping Virginia 70
66; Kansas, No. 17, defeating Iowa
State 76-61: and Illinois, No. 20,
getting beaten by Iowa 79-70.
SECONDS
Wisconsin made 25 of 30 free
throws In defeating Michigan State
87-53 in a Big Ten game. Two
foul shots by sub Bobby Delplt
with seven seconds left gave Tu
lane a 63-61 Southeastern Confer
ence decision over Tennessee. Dav-
Idson surprised Virginia Tech with
a second-half splurge that brought
an 87-69 Southern Conference vic
tory.
Tulsa held Murray Stale to four
Mints hi Uie final 15 minutes hi
scoring a 61-51 overtime verdict.

Late Splurge Buries
Owls Second Tonight
' ' mm 1 1 h
By RED HURD I
Oregon Tech was a three-quarter
basketball club again lost night,
fading before a lourth-perloa on-
slaught by the soutnern
College Ro Raiders to finish on
the runner-up end of a 65-56 count.
The, Owls host the Raiders again
toniuhl on Hilltop Court in the ssc-
ond ol the two-same king's-X ser
ies. Tin nlf time IS 8 0 clock.
The Owls, starting with a make
shift lineup that carried just one
regular, center Keith Thompson
land he's been an on-ana-onei i,
did right well in the early going
and built ud a 12-4 lead before the
surprised Raiders knew they were
in a game.
Jerry Overen and Thompson led
this earlv Hurry but the Raiders,
finally hitting from the field for
the first time when Bob Smith
scored to bring the count to 6-12,
started to' roll and closed the mar
gin to 12-15 at the end of the lirst
period.
FERK UP
Strangely enough, the Red Raid
ers started to pork up when they
lost Leon Kecle, their noi-shoi cent
er, with 0:16 gone on the clock.
Keele. wno went into me game
with an 18.9 average In SOC's 15
names. Iniured his knee in a mid'
court mishap when he turned too
quickly in an attempt to steal the
ball, a doctor called from the
crowd thouuht It was torn liga
ments. It's, doubtful If Keele will
see action in tonight s game.
Hal Titus took Keefe's place and,
although he did little damage to
the Owls the rest of the first half,
he and Dick price, a small but
dynamic set shot artist, paced the
Raiders alter intermission.
ADEQUATE '
Charles Oarcia, who with Over-
en has seen only Intermittent ac
tion this season, turned in an ade
quate Job at a guard position. Both
he- and Overen played altogether
more than three quarters. Forward
Ed Schallhorn, who has gathered
more splinters than either Overen
or Garcia, and guard Alan Cun
ningham, who recently lost a starl
ing job to Gary Dorn, were the
other starters. Dorn sat this one
out with a sprained ankle suffered
in Friday night's game in Mon-

Sends In
Sox Pact
By BEN OLAN
NEW YORK VP) The Chicago
White Sox and the Chicago Cubs
each had another big catch in the
contract bag today. But Milwaukee
slugger Eddie Mathews joined the
Increasing group of , dissatisfied
major leaguers.
Lefty Billy Pierce, who along
with Virgil Trucks kept the Chisox
in the American League pennant
running last season, came to terms
for 1954 and "became one of the
highest paid pitchers in Uie club's
history," according to General
Manager rrank Lane.
Pierce won 18 games and
dropped 12 last year, finished sec
ond In earned runs with 40 1-3
scoreless innings. Trucks already
Is in the White Sox fold.
Slugging Hank Sauer has
signed a Cubs' contract and
promised to "fight with all I've
got" to return to his form of two
seasons ago. He slumped to 19
home runs after hitting 37 the pre
vious year. Ralph Kiner, the Cubs'
other home run threat has signed,
Mathews, the National League's
home run king last year, hasn't
talked turkey with John Quinn,
Braves' general manager.
"After last season the clubd tried
to get me to sign," he explained.
"But I wasn't satisfied with what
they offered me. I doubt if we'll
get together very fast."
Besides Sauer, the Cubs also
signed outfielder Hal Jeffcoat and
rookie inflelder Don Robertson.
The Philadelphia Athletics signed
five players, lndluding outfielder
Ed McGhee and pitcher Bob Cain,
recently acquired from Baltimore.
