AP Poll Puts
Kentucky Back
In No. 1 Spot
By JOE REICHLER
NEW YORK, Doc. 26- W—To the
surprise cf practically nobody, Ken
tucky's basketball team is back at
tho head of the class in the weekly
Associated Press poll.
I The question before tho House,
however, is—Can it stay there? Two
teams have tried it in the first two
weeks of the AP pdll and each fail
ed. As a matter of fact, the Wildcat;
were one of those teams. They were
chosen the No. 1 team the very first
week. St. John’s of Brooklyn fell
victim to the jinx last week.
The Wildcats, named the top col
lege cage team in the country Tues
day by 41 cf the 10G r portswriter.;
and sports casters participating in
the poll, face a rough road this week.
They tak- on UCLA, St. Louis, Vill
anovn and Brigham Young.
Upset by Minnesota two weeks
ago, Kentucky regained the top rung
by crushing St. John’s 81-40, and
I drubbing DePaul 98-GO, last week.
Unbeaten Illinois (5-0), which
moved up from third to second on
the strength of successive victories
over Oklahoma, North Carolina and
DePaul. has only one game on tap,
but it is a toughie. The mini oppon
ent will be UCLA on Friday, two
days after the Bears tangle with the
Wildcats. Twenty-one experts rank
ed Illinois first yesterday.
Washington’s Huskies, who vault
ed from eighth to third on the
strength of 17 first place nomina
tions, clash with two Big Ten foes
this week, Northwestern on Friday
and Ohio State on Saturday. Kan
sas and Kansas State, ranked fourth
and eighth, respectively, with be
busy battling it out in a special
Big Seven tourney that will last
four days. •
St. John’s, which dropped from
first all the way down to seventh
because cf that humiliating defeat
at the hands of Kentucky, could
ea*sily drop another to either Utah
Thursday or Dayton Saturday.
Rated on a point basis, with 10 for
first, nine for second and so on,
Kentucky received 863 points to Il
linois’ 827. Washington collected 623
points to 568 for Kansas. Then came
Indiana, New York University, St.
John’s, Kansas State, Notre Dame
and Seton Hall in that order.
In the second ten were Western
Kentucky, St. Louis, Stanford, Vill
anova, Utah, UCLA, LaSalle, Murray
State, North Carolina State and
Syracuse, in that order.
Seattle University and Idaho were
among other teams receiving votes.
