MONDAY, JANUARY | e, EA B PRYLS WYOMINGFLOP PUTS IRISH IN NATIONAL LEAD Undefealedalrl List Par- edto 11 asEight Quints Fall Over Weekend By Joe Reichler NEW YORK, Jan. 14. — Notre Dame University, famed for its brilliant football teams is out to prove this year it can produce a | championship well The Fighting Irish of South Bend, Ind., today replaced Wyom- ing as the leading contender for national collegiate hoop honors on the strength of eight consecutivc victories without a defeat, includ- ing Saturday’s lopsided 72-50 tri- umph. over Great Lakes, while the Cowboys were being humbled by Utah 45-31. Notre Dame was one of 11 ma- jor quintets to survive a busy cage week which saw. eight teams tumbl- ed from the undefeated ranks. Among those keeping pace with the Irish were West - Virginia (9-0), Cornell, Tulane, Baldwin-Wallace (all 8-0), Yale and Northwestern (each 7-0), Holy Cross, Georgia, Gettysburg (each 5-0) and Navy 3-0). Wyoming, boasting a 10-game winning streak, was the victim of one of the season’s biggest upsets in losing Saturday to five-times beaten Utah. The absence of Ken- ny Sailors, Wyoming playmaker, who was at Farragut, Idaho, get- ting his Marine Corps discharge, apparently was the difference. Other teams on the short end of stunning upsets Saturday included the highly-heralded Army five which was drubbed by Colgate 70- 46 for its first home defeat in three years and only .its second loss in 33 games; Iowa, western conference champion, which suffered its first defeat after nine wins in losing to Indiana, 45-39; and Georgia Tech, which lost 58-45, to Alabama. In- diana had previously been knocked off the unbeaten list by Minnesota. Harvard, Vermont and St. Mich- asl's of Vermont also suffered their first losses. The Major Conference shape up as follows: Eastern Intercollegiate — Cornell on top with 4-0 record. Southern—Duke unbeaten in sev- en league games. Southeastern — Tennessee, Louis- iana State and Georgia tied for lead with 2-0. Southwestern—Arkansas and de- fending champion Rice tied at 3-1. Big Ten — Ohio State in first place at 4-0. Northwestern and Minnesota unbeaten in two league tilts. Big Six — Kansas leading with 3-0, followed by Oklahoma at 2-0. Big Seven — Colorado took -over first place at 2-0 aided by Utah’s surprise win over Wyoming. Pacific Coast (North) — Oregon State leads at 3-0 with Washing- ton next at 2-0. Pacific Coast (South)-—California and Southern California tied for lead at 4-0.
