a lull notable for mid-year exami-

national scoring record and the
first conference defeats of such
sectional palladins IS Indiana,
Oklahoma A. and M, Auburn,
Stanford and Washington, the col.
lege basketball teams go back on
a full : time competitive schedule
this week.
The past seven days saw sur
prises from east to west, from
Rhode Island states tumble be-
fore Temple at Philadelphia to
Stanford's 45-44 loss to U. C. L. A.
last night and Washington's two
defeats by Oregon State. They in
cluded, too, the q points scored
by Ken Griffith of little Anderson
Broaddus for a four-year scoring
total of 1903 that supplanted Hank
Luisetti's record 1896 for Stan
ford.
Top dog in the various confer
ences, as of today, are:
Eastern intercollegiate league
Dartmouth, with 3 victories and
no defeats; Big Ten-Wisconsin, s.
/; Big Six-Oklahoma and Kansas,
each 81; Missouri Valley-Creigh-
ton, Al; Southeastern-Florida, s.
l; Southern, North Carolina, TO;

Washington State, 81.
Among the independents, the
East boasts three undefeated
teams in Seton Hall, with 81 in a
row and 10 this winter; Baltimore,
IL straight after it's 1896 whipping
of Marshall Saturday, and West
minister, nine in a row. Toledo,
mid-western %standout, dropped its
first in 10 starts to Western Michi-
gan Teachers last night, 41-28. I'm
defeated Texas Wesleyan, together
with Texas Tech and West Texan
State, are non-conference leaders
in the southwest.
A combined review and preview
gives the following sectional set
ups:
South-Florida, who has two more
league games to play, saw its
main rivals knocked out during the
past week as Auburn bowed first
to Tennessee and to Georgia Tech
last night, 1889. Tenno SEE in turn
was beaten by Georgia, and now
is tied for second with Tulane and
Kentucky, the defending champ,
ons, who barely beat Vanderbilt,
$3.50. The Wildcats get a chance
to move up in two games with
Alabama.
North Cardinals hold on the lead
in the southern conference, where
the title is decided by a playoff,
was strengthened by victories over
Wake Forest and Virginia Tech.
The Tarheels are at home to Mary
land, Davidson and Duke this week
while Richmond also plays three
in a bid to break a second-place
tie with South Carolina. 3
