Cincinnati piled up 38 first place votes and 834 points from among the participating 102 sports writers and broad casters. Led by All-American Oscar Robertson’s 86 points, the Bearcats easily won their first two games—93-64 over Indiana State and 88-67 over NYU.

Kansas State was third followed by West Virginia. The Mountaineers, who finished on top in the final AP poll last year, grabbed 17 first place votes in this week’ balloting to only 10 for Kansas State. But Kansas State showed more strength in the second, third and fourth spots to Garner 641 points to WVU’s 634. ★ ★ ★ Giants After Johnny Temple SAN FRANCISCO—-The San Francisco Giants still have hopes of swinging a deal for shortstop Johnny Temple of the Cincinnati Redlegs, Manager Bill Rigney said Monday on his return from the eastern trading marts.
