St. Johns Next Foe
For Kentucky, Ranked
No. | in Cage Poll
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-It looks
as if Kentucky has a 24-karat
basketball team to match its new
81 million f1eldhouse.
Yesterday, the Nations sports
writer's and sportscasters voted the
unbeaten Wildcats the No. / po-
sition in the first weekly Asso-
ciated Press poll.
Kentucky was given 90 Of 1855
f1rst-place votes for 1,451 points.
Bradley, winner of last seasons
final poll, placed second with 20
top ballots and 1902 points.
Then came North Carolina
State, also with 20 first-place
votes. and 1,105 points. These
were the only teams earning 1000
or more points.
In order, the rest of the top 10
was Indiana, Oklahoma A. and
M, CCNY, Long Island, Missouri
UCLA and Toledo.
Kentucky Wins Five Straight.
Coach Adolf Rupp obviously
has brought his Kentucky squad
long way since that lopsided
$3.50 loss to CCNY in the Ma
tional Invitation tournament last
March. The Wildcats have
chalked up five straight victories
including stunning $3.50 romr
over Kansas last Saturday.

pack registered its seventh straight
victory last night-a 65-62 victory
over Michigan in overtime at Ra-
leigh, N. c. The undefeated Staters
play Villanova tomorrow night.
Indiana, with four victories in
a row, appears to be the best bet
to succeed Ohio State as West

Pretty little Sandra Lee,
Wonder what your life will be.
Feed your dolly jelly bread,
Tie a ribbon on its head;
Romp and play, then fall asleep
Needless why the grown-ups, weep.
Atom bomb and human hate
Wise men ponder Sandra's fate.
Little children everywhere,
Must they live in dark despair?
Men of wisdom at this hour
Knit their brows and search for power,
Mental power, psychic lore;
Man with man must fight no more,
Distant statesmen heed the calls,
Great conventions fill the halls;
Pious thought and pensive brow
Solve the problem, solve it now!
1t seems strange, My Dear, but true,
Sandra Lee, they plan for you.

Your cottons are showing! Are
people going to give your choice
of warm weather wear an ap-
proving glance or are they going
to wonder instead where. you
ever got such combinations Of
clothes?
When the mercury starts TO
climb, it's an ideal time for you
to use some ingenuity on your
last years cotton dresses as well
as the new ones you viii be buy
ing.
Let's begin by taking inventory
of the summer dresses you al
ready have Cotton and pique
are two of the many lightweight
fabrics that are so wonderfully
easy to completely overhaul"
If you have a dress that is little
faded, but still has some wear in
it, by all means dye it. Dyes and
tints are inexpensive and will
make world of difference.
Watch Out For Ruffles
An important (and very prac-
ticaD thing to remember when
you are buying cotton dresses is
the laundry problem. That dress
with all the little lace ruffles
may be perfectly adorable, but
will you like it so well when
you are already late for your
date and have all that detail
work to iron?
Some of the newest summer
dresses are in the style of sum
backs with boleros. A garment of
this type in linen may be dressed
up with high heels and the pro-
per accessories to make a COM
plete outfit for special occasions.
Without the bolero you may have
a short formal, or with beach
sandals, dress for casual wear.
Look To Your Feet
Looking toward personal
grooming, which way are your
feet pointed2 Playshoes and
open-toed sandals soon will be
making their appearance and
we'll groomed feet are a must.
1t is surprising what results can
be had from little well-spent
time in pedicure.
Spring housekeeping is not
only good domestic idea but
is very profitable in good looks
when applied to wardrobes and
personal appearances.

MY OWN opinion is that the Old

about $3.50 million federal pay

This would have to be paid out

fact that our federal government

anything. Maybe by some hocus
