New York, Feb. 8 (AP)—
Holy Cross, the nation’s only
major unbeaten college quin
tet, continues to lead the field
in the weekly Associated
Press poll, but Ohio State’s rug
ged Buckeyes are preparing to
steal the basketball spotlight.
Victorious in all 17 games, Holy
Cross received more than 50 per
cent of the first plaee votes.
No other five was even close to
the Crusaders, but if Ohio State
should continue its current pace,
there’s no telling what might hap
pen. Far back two weeks ago, and
seventh last week, the big ten
leaders knocked off two stalwart
opponents over the weekend to
jump into a fourth place tie with
St. John’s of Brooklyn.
Bradley (19-3) replaced Du-
qiiesne in the runner-up role, bag
ging four No. 1 nominations to
none for the Pittsburg five. The
Iron Dukes, winner of their first
16 games, were dropped from the
unbeaten ranks last Saturday by
Louisville.

’48 as an outfielder,
The fall of the year found him

earn him two letters and a most
valuable player award.
