The sports writers and broad rasters again picked Cincinnati as (he No. 1 team overwhelmingly on the basis of first-place votes but made the Bearcats' only con queror, Bradley, a close second in the point totals. About the only differences noted among the top trn were minor changes in the point totals. Georgia Tech, the only team among the first ten to lose a game last week, retained its sixth rank' ing but its margin over seventh rated Utah was trimmed to a mere 26 points. Villanova, the only two - game winner in the group, strengthened its hold on eighth place but couldn't overtake Utah. The ratings are based on games through Saturday, Jan. 23.

Night Ball Gets Stronger rtvriMVATT (AP) Afternoon baseball, at least the weekday variety, will fade still further out of the picture in the National Lea?ur this vear. Thn niu nf ihe two maior leagues announced today a 1960 schedule which includes a record breaking 312 night contests. And that total includes games of the Chicago Cubs, the lone major league holdout against night base ball, who play all of their 77 home contests in the daytime. Except on Saturdays, Sundays arid holidays, St. Louis and Phila delphia will not play any after noon games. Cincinnati has only one game and Los Angeles and Pittsburgh two each. As it shapes up, Los Angeles ill play a record-breaking 64 night games, including two twi night dates. Philadelphia will have 52 night dates. St. Louis 48, Cin cinnati 43. Pittsburgh 42. Mil waukee 38 and San Francisco 23. Los Angeles will open the season at night April 12 against Chicago. Philadelphia's home opener April 14 against Milwaukee also will be played at night and so will St. Louis' home opener April 19 gainst Chicago. tion Portland State is in Mon mouin lor a contest with Oregon College. Eastern Oregon has the mgnt off. Ihe Oregon Tech squad, 4-10 for the full season to date, holds a 2-3 record in OCC action for the lourth place on the ladder. South ern Oregon is 4-3 in loop play, second io the Portland State Vik ings who have won three and lost one. ihe Raiders, who dumped ine uwis 74-70 last Tuesday in .iMuana, earned the only victory scored over PSC, last Friday. Going into tonight's match, the Techmen, who are itching for re venge at the expense of the Raid ers, find themselves in rather a doubtful position because of an ankle injury incurred bv big Paul Layher Saturday night against US Plywood. A nasty cold plaguing Jack Hor- ton, at 6-0 the Owls' strongest hope, in the possible absence of Layher, to compete evenly off the backboards with the SOC quint, puts additional pressure on the Tech squad. It is barely possible that both Layher and Horton will see ac tion tonight in spite of their mis eries but it will be limited at best. Coach Wally Palmberg is plan ning on using his "unit" system against the Raiders, although the two groups may be mixed be cause of the doubtfulness of Hor ton and Layher. Should Layher be available the opening unit will include Layher, Norm Oliva, Gene Branson, Dennis McKee and Leon Wilson. Making up the second unit to appear would be Horton, Buddy Guill, Roy John son, Troy Koontz and Van Zitek. Coach Ted Schopf will call upon John Payne, Glenn Peterson, who controlled the boards the last time OTI and SOC met, Gordie Carri gan, who shot the eyes out of the basket (25 points), Don Vannice, and Brad Flanary, "Hughie" Smith and Tom Bernet stand by as ef fective relief for the first five. Wilt The Stilt Keeping Lead NEW YORK (AP) Philadel phia's Wilt Chamberlain continued his lead over Jack Twyman of Cincinnati for National Basketball Assn. scoring honors, according to statistics released today. Wilt the Stilt, though he trailed off last week in point production, has scored 1,681 points in 45, games for a 37.2 average. Twy man, playing seven more games, has 1,605 points for a 30.9 aver age. This marks the second con secutive week that Chamberlain, a rookie, has led both in scoring and per game average.

Spot play er? Regular? Williams and spring training will provide the answers. If the 41-year-old slugger mostly a pinchhitter, he'll be the highest paid on record in that category after signing a contract Monday at the same figure as '59 After a brief, secret early morn ing session with General Manager Bucky Harris, the colorful Wil liams agreed to his 21st Red Sox campaign. Ted recently testified under oath that his 1959 baseball earnings amounted to $60,000 but it never was clarified whether that figure meant gross or net income. A painful neck ailment was the main reason Williams batting average fell from .328 to .254 last season. "Williams is 41 and you can't tell about old ball players," Man ager Billy Jurges said later. "How much you play at that age is up to the individual. I do know we can expect to get a lot of use out of him as a pinchhitter. I'll have to see how he does in spring train ing. "Ted isn't going to play 154 ball games, let s be realistic, Jurges continued. "We can't say whether he'll play 100 or 75. I'll be happy if he plays 60. I'm leaving it up to him to say when and how much he'll play." ClrC--5 Bourbon Increase In Price IiABELQ X.

(AP) The American Football League opened a three-day meeting today to pick its eighth member and get the fledgling pro loop squared away for its fall kickoff. Atlanta, Ga., Oakland, Calif. and Miami, Fla., are the three contenders for the remaining franchise. Commissioner Joe Foss thinks Oakland or Atlanta may be most likely to win the franchise. A de cision by the seven franchise hold ers will be made soon. Minneapolis-St. Paul interests recently dropped their franchise in the face of National Football League expansion into that area. The NFL is meeting now in Miami and has not yet announced any ex pansion plans. The AFL delayed its meeting week hoping the NFL would an nounce its plans. Foss said "We can't sit around and wait on them." At today's meeting the AFL will elect officers, hear a report by Bob Dedman, AFL attorney who has been in Miami for the NFL meeting, and listen to the Atlanta and Oakland delegations as well as a report by Foss. It will also discuss drafting of players, a 1960 schedule, possible agreements with the NFL and the Canadian Football League, rules of play and, finally, the type of football to be used by the league, Foss said his office will handle all television business for the eight teams. League rules state that "all television will be handled on a cooperative basis and that all TV income from television shall be paid directly to the league rather than to individual clubs." Foss said that at the end of each year such money would be divided equally among the teams, IF YOU WILL TRY HILL AND HILL JUST ONCE... we believe you will agree with the ever growing num bers of satisfied judges of good whiskey who say: "Hill and Hill it Kentucky Bourbon at its best and the best buy in bourbon!"
