Illinois Five's Streak
Of 9 Straight Wins
lmpresses Writers
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Bradley
University broke Holy Cross five
week grip on the position and
moved in today as the Nation S
No. basketball team.
The dashing lads from Peoria
ILL.,, although beaten three times,
won solid support from all sections
of the country to amass 1859
points in the weekly Associated
Press poll.
This gave them 135-point
edge over undefeated Holy Cross,
although the Crusaders from Wor-
cester, Mass, still commanded
the largest number of first-place
votes-44-compared with % for
the new leader.
Points are awarded on the basis
of 10 for first. 9 for second and
so on down the line.
17O Vote in Poll.
A total of ITO sports writer's and
broadcasters, the seasons high,
participated in the latest ballot
ing and gave the standings good
juggling even if they didn't dis
lodge any of the top 10.
Here's the new rundown: Brad
ley, Holy Cross. Ohio State, Du-
quesne, Kentucky, st. Johns, U. c.
l.. A., Western Kentucky, North
Carolina State and Long Island
University.
Holy Cross, however. got the
jump on Bradley by being the
first team chosen for the NCAA
tournament. The Crusaders will
represent District No. l Bradley,
which virtually has sewed up the
Missouri Valley race. probably will
meet the Big Seven champion
Nebraska or Kansas State-for
the honor of representing Dis
trict 5.
Only two of the 10 poll leaders
remained in the same spot as last
week. Ohio State, the Western
Conference power. held firm at
third. Kentucky. the defending
national champion, was an un-
shakable fifth.
Duquesne, beaten only once in
% games, climbed from seventh
to fourth. U. C. L. A. moved to the
vacated spot from 10th and West
ern Kentucky graduated a notch.
st. Johns of Brooklyn fell from
No. to No. 6. Long Island Uni
versity tumbled from sixth. North
Carolina State dropped one rung.
Bradley, a team of exclusive
Illinois talent, has been coming
fast since losing games to Purdue,
Kentucky and Detroit. They have
won their last nine engagements,
humping st. Louis last night,
52-45.
Holy Cross on the other hand,
had tight squeeze last week
with Rhode Island State, team
with a 1876 record-barely win
ming, 1892.
Ohio State Impressive.
Ohio State, which clinched at
least a share of the Big Ten crown
by humbling Indiana last night,
1855, became a definite threat
for national honors. The Buck
eyes, who have won 18 and lost
3, received 1,061 points-including

The first two preliminary play
