By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The lack of action on college
basketball courts last week was
reflected in the balloting today as
(he list of the top ten teams in
The Associated Press ranking poll
remained unchanged.
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.

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.

Splinter Role
1960 Puzzler
BOSTON (AP) - Will the 1960
chapter of the Ted Williams story
be entitled pinchhitter? 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."

Joe Foss
Convenes
Meeting
DALLAS, Tex. (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,

Since Baron Rupp became the
Kentucky coach in 1930 to build
basketball's greatest record, only
his 8!)-.i0 loss to CCNY in 1950, hij
