PAGE SIX Huskies Are Near Topin Cage Poll NEW YORK, Deec. 20—®—The University of Washington Huskies, Pacific Coast Conference champions, have a golden opportunity to become | the No. 1 college basketball team in the nation. Their chances of gaining the top rung in the Associated Press poll de- pend on what they do against Min nesota at Minneapolis Saturday. Currently ranked No. 8, the Huskies opened their midwest in- vasion last night by bowling over the 4th-ranked St. Louis, 58-53. It was Washington’s sixth straight victory after a season-opening i 62-61 defeat by Utah, a setback the Huskies night, 60-44. If the Huskies whip Minnesota, | conguerors of Kentucky, No. 2, a team which in turn walloped the currently top ranked St. Johns of Brooklyn quintet, the PCC outfit would be certain to gain prestige. Two big fellows, 6:07 Bob Hou- bregs and 6:08 Doug McClary, made the difference for the Huskies against St. Louis.

St. Louis led, 24-21, at the half time, but the Huskies moved ahead midway of the second half at 39-38 and stayed ahead the rest of the way. Unbeaten Pennsylvania, touted as the team to watch in the Ivy circuit, likewise opened a midwest tour by beating Pitt, 55-52, at Pittsburgh, with a rally in the last three minutes. Oklahoma A and M, beaten Tues- day night by Southern California, turned the tables on the Trojans by winning,. 58-47, in the first half of a doubleheader at Tulsa. In the sec- ond game Tulsa whipped Missouri, 60-53. In a twin bill at Dallas, Texas Christian beat Texas Tech, 68-48, and Southern Methodist took Neb- raska, 61-55 as SMU’s Derrell Mur- phy flipped in 21 points. Seton Hall, ranked 10th, had an easy time against Baldwin-Wallace, FRANKFURT, Ky, Dec. 20— Assistant District Attorney Vincent O’Connor, enroute to New York to- day, predicted the names of other | Kentucky men involved in basket- ball fixes will come to light. His six day investigation up | against a blank wall, O’Connor con- ferred briefly yesterday with Gov. Lawrence Wetherby before depart- ing. Afterwards, he said: “I want to state most emphatically that our departure does not mean we are dropping—or even consider- ing dropping—our investigation of Kentucky players we definitely know are involved in the fixes.” Nowhere in his remarks did O'- Connor indicate whether the play- {ers involved are present or former members of the Wildcat squad.

Donovan hastened to assure the { public the university has not played jand shall not play any boy “about,l THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JU High Stepping Baskethali Best Fielding Nal.League | Team Picked i NEW YORK, Dec. 20—»—Who is the better fielding first baseman?
