BY the Assoeioisd Press

Minnesota's Golden Gophers

last night as college basket balls list
OF major unbeaten teams was shaved
to five.
The University of Akron, which
had won 10 in a row, never had q
chance against Duquesne, fall 63 to
43. The Dukes led all the way. 1t
was their 10th victory in II starts.
Minnesota cast aside Iowa with
ease, 81 to As, before a surprisingly
orderly crowd at Iowa City. Whitley
Skoog poured in 26 points as the
Gophers picked up their 18th
straight victory. Minnesota now has
won four conference games. Illinois
has won three without loss.
Buckeyes Edge Wisconsin.
In other Big Nine action Ohio
State edged Wisconsin, 81 to 54, at
Madison and Indiana chilled Pur-
due, Sc to AZ.
Kentucky continued it's dominance
of the Southeastern Conference with
brilliant 56-45 verdict over Georgia
Tech. Vanderbilt chopped down
Mississippi State, IS to 20, and
Mississippi stopped Auburn, AT to 43.
Kansas State, apparently back in
form after a rocky start, whipped
Iowa State, 49 to 43, in the Big Sew
en- while Colorado trounced Kansas,
AZ to 30.
In the Big Six, Utah strength
ened it's bid for honors against Wy
oming by downing Colorado A. and
M, SO to IS. Defending champion
Brigham Young gained revenge
against Denver, 81 to 48.
Yale TrOunces Cornell.
Arkansas, which couldn't do a
thing against major opposition in
preconference games, won its Sec
ond straight in the Southwest cir
cult. The Razorbacks whipped Texas
Christian, Al to 36, and moved into
a three-way tie with Rice and Texas
for second place.
Yale scored another Ivy League
victory, this time at home over Cor
nell, 50 to 40. Oregon State de-
feated Idaho, AZ to 81, in the only
Pacific Coast Conference action.

the A. P. said. when Cherry's future
will be decided.
Like Frank Leahy Of Notre Dame
and Paul Bryant of Kentucky,
Cherry rates highly with the Tribes
top command, but like the first two,
he has commitments that may pre-
vent him from accepting pro offer.
At Chicago, where pro football
club owners Of both the National
League and All-America Confer
ence expect to huddle at least q
week over 1949 plans, one of the
biggest problems will be drawing up
a schedule. The task cannot begin
until decision has been made on
the All-America's future and then
it is certain TO involve hours OF
Wrangling.
The Redskins are due to be host
to the Chicago Bears and Green
Eay Packers next season. They
are slated for a return trip to the
West Coast for a regular league
game with the Los Angeles Rams
in addition to the preseason feStivi-
ties, and trying to put the right
teams in the correct dates is ten
talizing.
Problem Over Players.
It is not difficult to imagine how
much more OF a problem it will be
to work out a card for II teams
acceptable to all members, if two
teams from the AAC are admitted
TO the National League.
Another problem, and just as ag-
gravating, will be the disposition OF
AAC players, again depending on
whether that organization throws
in the towel National Leaguers will
insist that players who jumped their
league to go with the rival circuit
be barred for five years from the
time they quit the AAC. This may
encounter some opposition, which
means another draWnout discussion.
Other potential troublemakers are
the questions of which clubs will
have priority in cases where players
were drafted by teams continuing to
operate. The Redskins will fight for
the men they drafted and who went
with the opposition, including Will
liam and Mary's crack center,
Tommy Thompson. who was drafted
by the Cleveland Browns this year.
1t is probable this hinges on
the AAC closing up shop-that the
teams admitted to the NFL, Cleve-
land and San Francisco will get first
choice in a draft of the other AAC
clubs talent to replace outlawed
gridmen.

and the Labor Day finales had been
