But that etill would leave four teammates, plus some subs, to be accounted for. While Indiana, Kentucky and Louisville, all highly regarded teams, were going down, Lucas and his Buckeye teammates went rocking along to their 15th vic tory of the season and their 20th straight over a two-year span. Wisconsin was the victim, 100-68. The measure of Ohio State's all- around skill was rellected in 60.7 per cent shooting average for the team 39 field goals on 77 at tempts. Lucas made 19 points, Larry Siegfried 18, John Havlicck 15 and Mel Nowell 14. Even when Ohio Coach Fred Taylor benched his regulars late in the first half and again with nine minutes to go in the second Wisconsin could not gain.

The last four places in the elite group showed a real shuffle. Cor valiis moved from ninth to sev enth after two weekend victories, Marshfield, beaten by Roseburg, (tayed in eighth place. Bend moved up from No. 10 to No. 9. Beaverton, absent from the select 10 last week, moved back this week into 10th place.
