Cincinnati, Loyola See Unbeaten Season Ahead By MARTIN LADKR UPI Sports Writer It will lake something of a ma jor upset in the next few weeks to prevent Cincinnati or Loyola of Chicago from completing the regular college basketball season with unblemished records. The two standouts of the 1962- 6.1 campaign went right on win ning Saturday night, top-ranked Cincinnati turning back third- ranked Illinois, 62-53, and second ranked Loyola beating Santa Clara, 82-72. and at the rate they're going it appears a cinch they'll be battling it out for the national championship in the NCAA tournament in March. Cincinnati has won 33 straight games over the last two seasons with nine remaining on the regu lar schedule. The Bearcats are at home for two of those games this week, hosting Drake on Thursday and St. Louis on Saturday. Loyola, with a 19-0 mark and boasting the top offensive unit of any major school, also will have friendly surroundings for two contests this week when it meets Washington and Iowa.

Crater scored six free To Pole Vault Ranks World Record Setter set by Finland's Pentti Nikula last June. However, Nikula's rec ord will not be affected because indoor marks do not count as of ficial world records. "My first feeling when I made it was 'Wow.' Nothing else, just 'Wow,' " Yang said. "I knew I could do it when I cleared 15-11." Officially, Yang had never gone higher than 14-7 before the Port land meet, but he later admitted clearing 16-2 after switching to a fiberglass pole a few months ago. Tlie UCLA student is known pri marily as a decathlon man, and his point total in that endurance test has been exceeded only by Rafcr Johnson. Yang missed three attempts at 16-5, one of them on Die way down alter clearing the bar. Yang's feat earned him the meet's out standing performer trophy and added class to a meet marked by several upsets but few records. Canadian Dave Steen of Oregon provided the biggest shock by de feating veteran Parry O'Brien in the shot put. Steen broke the 60 loot mark for the first lime lo win wilh a put of 61-5V. O'Brien finished second at 61-2' i.

"It ain't going to make much difference to me," muttered Bill Skowron, the erstwhile New York Yankee star who was traded to this, the Ramblers wi'.l have six games remaining. Oddly enough, the chief obsta- cle for both Cincinnati and Loy ola will be the same team i eighth-ranked Wichita. The Bear cats travel to Wichita Feb. 16 and Loyola entertains the Wheat shockers March 2.
