Unbeaten
Wildcats
Top Vote
By RIP WATSON
NEW YORK IB-Kentucky's un
defeated' basketball team, which
passed up tournament play, was
voted -the best college team In the
nation today by, sports writers and
sportscasters' participating; in the
next-to-last Associated Press week
ly poll.
The Wildcats, who closed their
season by beating Louisiana State
lor ' the Southeastern Conference
title were given the No. 1 spot on
47 of the 70 ballots. Kentucky fin-,
ished with a 25-0 record, the first
perfect mark since Army's in 1944.
Indiana held second place de
spite an upset loss to Notre Dame,
with 420 points to Kentucky's 874
on a basis of 10 for first, nine for
second, and so forth. Following In
order were Holy Cross, Notre
Same, Duquesne, La Salle, George
Washington, Western Kentucky,
Penn State and Oklahoma AkU,
JUGGLING
Below the top two, however, the
standings received a thorough Jug
gling as the voters considered
the results of the National Colle
giate ' Championships and the Na
tional Invitation Tournament.
Holy Cross, which won the NIT
by upsetting first Western Ken
tucky and then Duquesne, vaulted
six places Into the No. 3 posi
tion. J.a Salle, the current choice
to grab the NCAA championship,
also climbed six places, to the No.
6 spot, although -Its ,-s tournament
victories were hardly upsets.
But the big surprise In the poll
was Penn State, which had not
season. The Bittany Lions Jumped
right Into the top 10, taking over
ninth place after startling vic
tories over Louisiana, State and
Notre Dame.
OUTSIDE
Southern California and Bradley,
the other NCAA semifinallsts with
La Salle and Penn State, landed
Just outside the top 10 with the
Trojans 11th and Bradley 12th.
Both teams previously had been
lost among the also-rans.
Compensating for these leaps
and bounds, Oklahoma A4iM
plunged five places to 10th after
its Bradley loss; Duquesne
dropped two places to No. 5; West
ern Kentucky slipped four to No.
8; and Louisiana State and North
Carolina State fell all the wr.y
out of the top 10.
Notre Dame went up two notch
es, to fourth, as the voters appar
ently figured the Indiana upset
more than outweighed the Irish
loss to Penn 8tate the folowing
night. Oeorge Washington retained
the No. 7 notch even though their
only action since the last poll was
loss to North Carolina State.

Nate Brooks
Whips Gault
NEW YORK W Henry (Pappy)
Gault, who fought them both, be
lieves 30-year-old Nate Brooks of
Cleveland has a good chance to
beat world bantamweight cham
pion Jimmy Carruthers.
No such title fight has been ar
ranged yet. It could be that the
fleet-looted, fast punching Ohio
State sophomore might get a crack
at the letthanded champ from Aus
tralia within a year.
"Brooks .has a good chance
'against Carruthers If he can fight
southpaws." said Pappy after he
took a sound drubbing from the
North American tltllst at Eastern
Parkway Arena Monday night.
"They hit about as hard but Car
ruthers may be a little faster.
Right now I'd have to lean a little
with Carruthers." '
Brooks won every round from
his 25-year old rival on the scores
of the two Judges, Bert Grant and
Americo Schlavone. Referee Pete
ficalio gave Nate nine and called
the fifth even.
Trojans
Amaze
Backers
LOS ANGELES Ifl Here they
are, semi-finalists in the NCAA
basketball championship tourna
ment, and some of their most ar
dent boosters still are wondering
how they got there. They? Oh, yes,
the Southern California Trojans.
They , play Bradley's Braves at
Kansas City Friday and the win
ner will play for the NCAA title
against the winner of Friday's
Penn State-LaSalle game. ,
Bradley and LaSalle are basket
ball fixtures and always In the
fight, but Southern California
recently won Its first Pacific Coast
Conierence championship since
1940 and then knocked off a really
solid team, Santa Clara, after two
extra periods, to win the NCAA
Western regional representation.
NOT SERIOUS
No one seriously considered
Coach Forrest Twogood's Trojans
at the start of the season and
there was no reason to later after
they had bowed to Iowa, 66-57; to
Michigan State, 81-63; to Bradlev,
79-64; to Oklahoma Aggies, 52-49;
to Arltona, 57-55; and two games
to Hawaii, 55-57 and 63-56. .
Twogood's team began to Im
prove after it started its Pacific
Const Conference campaign, and
at the finish it swept through fa
vored UCLA and blew the Bruins
right out of the title. The Trojans
have won nine of their last 10
games, that loss being to Oregon
State in the three-game playoff
for the PCC title.
Southern California Isn't a stylish
team In any sense. It is thoroughly
grounded In the essentials of its
own doggedly defensive type of
play as taught by Twogood, who
once was a pitcher for the St,
Louis Cardinals and the Cleveland
Indians and learned his basketball
from the late Sam Barry at the
university oi iowa.
NO STANDOUT
There isn't a standout player on
the club. Center Roy Irvln is the
tallest man at 6 ft., 5 a In. But
ail we players driDWe well, pass
very well and how they shoot, all
ot tnemi
"This is the best shooting team
I've ever coached,". Twogood said
recently. "They haven't hit their
peak yet, but some night they will
and when they do nothing will stop
them."
The Trojans picked" the right
night to hit their peak against
UCLA in the second game that dc,
elded' the PCC Southern Division
title. SO hit S3 per cent of its field
goal tries. The night before the
Trojans connected on 43 Her cent
Early In the season SO had been
making 20 to 30 per cent of its
neia goal attempts.
Gola Only
Star Left
KANSAS CITY IA"I Tom (The
Team) Gola, who acted almost as
a playing coach for the talented
sophomores of LaSalle, takes on
an added responsibility here Fri
day night In the semifinals of the
National - Collegiate Basketball
Championships. .
It will be up to him to uphold
the reputation of the 1945 All
America team. He's the only one
left in tournament competition.
UPSETS
Despite the wave of upsets
one of the greatest in the 16 year
history of the NCAA tournament
the one-in-flve average on All
Americas is the same as last year.
Bob Houbregs of Washington
paced his team Into the semifinals
a season ago.
Gola, a 6-7 Junior, will be under
even more pressure than Hou
bregs was because his LaSalle
team will be the favorite. Wash
ington, third in 1953, never was
picked, to do better.
With Gola on this year's All
America team were Don Schlundt
of Indiana and Bob Fettlt of
Louisiana State, whose clubs were
beaten in the Iowa City regional
and Frank Belvy of Furman and
Cliff Hagan of Kentucky who did
not play In tournament competi
tion. . ,
VULNERABLE
Favorites have been so vulner
able so far In this year's NCAA
tournaments that LaSalle ought to
be willing to pay somebody to act
as a standin,
Not one of the semifinallsts
showed in the nation's top lo In
The Associated Press poll last
week. But the experts Juggled
madly when the tournament re
sults' came In and LaSalle wound
up No. 6 In Tuesday's ratings.
Penn state, which dldnt get a vote
prior to the Iowa City triumph,
ranked ninth. Southern California
was 11th and Bradley 13th. -

Last week's frenzied, blood-boil

equaled tomorrow night when
Matchmaker Mack Lillard pre
sents a double main event. ,
Although sharing equal billing,
the joust between Kurt Von Pop
penhelm and Chet Wallick Is ex
pected to take a back seat to a
scrap bringing together two power
houses In the Northwest, popular
Georges Dusette and disliked Eric
Pedersen.
Von Poppenheim and Pedersen
are: synonymous with riot, while
Wallick and Dusette are both cap
able of matching knuckles with
their sadistic foes.
VAIN
Pedersen is a vain muscle-rip
pier who turns savage when his
pride is dented.
Dusette is more than capable oi
doing his share of denting. Both
boast powerful full nelsons that
could cut the - match short.
Wallick. not as famous but Just
as talented as brother Leo, is
adept with the body scissors and
the slow-moving Proud Prussian

Neither bout is expected to fol'

Rookie Manager Eddie Joost.
who played under two of baseball's
most brilliant tacticians, Connie
Mack and Casey Stengel, had his
surprising Philadelphia Athletics
on top of the exhibition standings
today.
The Athletics, rumored to be In
a bad way financially, have won
six straight games without a loss.
The Baltimore Orioles have the
next best record, 8-2, followed by
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2. the
Brooklyn Dodgers, 6-3, and the St.
Louis Cardinals, 6-3. '
"Our new men will have to come
through If we're to make a good
showing," Is Joost's analysis of
his team's chances in the regular
season.
HOME RUNS
Three of the new men, Don Boll
weg, obtained from the New York
Yankees, and rookies Tommy
Giordano and Lou Limmer,
slammed home runs yesterday as
the Athletics defeated the Boston
Red Sox 10-7. Veterans Gus Zernlal
and Ray Murray also homered.
Nevertheless, the new skipper
has his work cut out for him. His
club, which finished In sevetnh
place In 1953, 41',t games behind
the Yankees, played before only
362,113 fans a drop of more than
250,000 from the previous year.
The Orioles suffered their sec
ond setback when they bowed to
the New York Giants 13-8. Ray
Katt, Davey Williams, Monte Irvln
and Willie Mays hit homers for
