Wolf pack Puts No. 1 Position
Up Aginst North Carolina
By The Associated Press
The nation’s first and third
ranked college basketball teams
clash Wednesday night and Coach
Everett Case says he just hopes
his North Carolina State team can
live up to its No. 1 rating in this
important game against North
Carolina.
State gained the top spot in
this week’s Associated Press poll
of sports writers and broadcasters
after Kentucky, leader for three
weeks, had suffered its first defeat
of the season. State’s backyard
rival, North Carolina, retained the
No. 3 spot.
“I don’t believe we’ve ever been
No. 1 befoi’e,” said Case. “We’re
Very happy and grateful for the
honor and just hope we can live
up to it.”
N. C. State was first on 48 of
the 130 ballots cast this week.
The Wolfpack, building its record
to 11-1 with two victories last
week, drew a total of 1,087 points
on the usual 10-9-8 etc, basis.
Kentucky, upset by Vanderbilt
75-66 last week after 11 straight
victories, showed a 12-1 record
through last Saturday. That was
enough to give the Wildcats 35
first place votes and 1,035 points
in the balloting. The poll was
based on results through Jan. 10.
North Carolina received only
four first place votes, but a
strong showing in the second place
balloting gave the Tarheels S13
points, enough to edge Kansas
State for third place. Kansas State
11-1 polled 804 points.

In Crucial SWC Match Here
(SPL) — Trying to stay alive
in Southwest Conference play un
til Kelly Chapman becomes eligi
ble next semester, the Aggie bas
ketball team entertains the Texas
Longhorns in White Coliseum here
Friday night.
The Fish and Shorthorns meet
in a frosh preliminary at 6:15 p.m.
with the varsity going at 8.
Bob Rogers’ Aggies, surprise
winners of the pre-season confer
ence, upended Arkansas at Fay
etteville Monday night to get back
into the race after dropping two
in a row to Rice and Baylor.
A&M goes into the Texas game
here Friday with” a 2-2 SWC rec
ord and 10-3 for the season. They
have two more conference games
remaining before Chapman, a
scoring sensation from Tyler Jun
ior College, becomes eligible. The
two games the stellar athlete will
miss are against Texas Tech on
the road and Texas here.
Chapman, 6-3 rebounding and
shooting ace from Owensboro,
Ky., makes his Southwest debut
here Feb. 3 against TCU, the lea
gue favorite.
Just how much Chapman will
help the Aggie cause in the
schools bid for the flag is prob
lematic. Although he has a trem
endous eye for the basket and can
out-jump many players four to six
inches taller, he has been out
of competition for a yeai” and a
half. If he would break into loop
play with a 15-point plus average
h i s presence would enhance
A&M’s chance in the final eight
games of the torrid race.
If Chapman cannot secure a
starting berth with the Cadet
quintet he would be good ammu
nition with which to replace any
of the five starters who might be
having a bad shooting night.
