their bigteest jinxes.
While San Francisco retain

night by downing Wichita 76

its No. 3 ranking slightly tarn

and tihe Utes then dropped a
consolation third place game to
Southern California. Utah suf
fered onily two more losses ail

In the other (game at, Lex

the Timber Wolf den became
a complete bedlam as the Sit

the siurfging SJ1S Warriors who
found new life and looked as
sharp as their pre-season bal
lyhoo.
The loss by the Wolves push

in their conquest of, biliica
last nigfht, the Sheldon Jack
