NEW YORK, Dec. 18. = St.
Johns University of Brooklyn is
rated the No. l college basketball
team in the weekly Associated
Press poll, but you can't tell that
to the University of Kentucky.
Votes of the Nations sports
writers and sportscasters were cast
over the week end and the weekly
poll closed yesterday afternoon,
several hours before Kentucky and
st. Johns met at Lexington. The
Wildcats slaughtered the Redmen,
8l-40. They haven't lost on their
home floor since January, l943.
|. A total of l03 ballots was re-
ceived, and st. Johns got 36 first
place votes to IS for Kentucky,
which was ranked No. l a week
ago. st. Johns, which had won
five straight games before the
Kentucky debacle. was No. 2 last
week. This time, the Redmen re-
ceived a total of 837 points, while
Kentucky got 687.
Kentucky Upset Responsible.
The voting obviously was influ-
Ienced by Kentucky's upset defeat
at the hands of Minnesota last
week. 6l-57. st. Johns had

trounced Hamline. 92-73.
st. Louis, another untarnished
team when the voting closed was
defeated last night by Wisconsin,
55-54.
There were a few other switches
in the top 10, but the only one to

skidded from ninth place week
ago to 18th. Indiana, 18th last
week, moved up to the sixth spot
on the strength of a thrilling 57-55
triumph over Wyoming.

Several weeks ago it was men
toned that Jim Tatum faced the
biggest test of his coaching career
in Maryland's Sugar Bowl date
with Tennessee. That was only
the beginning.
Complications have developed
and now Tatum is knee deep in
trouble. The weather has handi-
capped the Terps and now they're
working lightly indoors where the
coach hoped to have them bump
ing heads outdoors.
The probation placed on the
TerpS for the next football season
by the Southern Conference was
a shock to Tatum, despite the ad-
vance warning and it has helped
to disrupt his Sugar Bowl practice
schedule.

from the team that won 80 games
and lost seven last year, including
its fifth straight conference title.
But Coach Everett Case has new
talent on hand to take the place
of the graduated stars.
Loses Only to Texas Tech.
The Wolfpack has beaten Fur
man. Davidson, Wake Forest. the
latter by only three points at
Wake Forest, and Eastern Ken

Texas Tech by a point.
George Washington opened
with a two-point triumph over
Virginia and then upset highly

time.
The best known holdover from
last years State team is Bobby
Speight. 6-foot-6 junior who
scored 364 points. Lee Terrill,

Knapp. a freshman at 6-foot-7.
Last year the Wolfpack beat
the Colonials, 86-71. here and
won. SO to SO. on its home court.
If Coach Bill Reinhart's young
George Washington team plays
the basketball tonight it played
against West Virginia, it could
be close. Freshmen Dick Drake,
Bob Mcdonald. Ernie Ortiz and
Archie Tolls responded nobly in
assisting Bob Goglin, the only
senior, and Bob Edenbaum and
Larry Silverman.

says the senior test engineer for
the Fairchild guided missiles di-
vision at the Navy's secret mis-
sile test center here.
AS proof, Arthur v. st. Ger
main offered detailed plans for
a five-stage rocket which he said
could carry two men to the moon,
land there and return. He said his
design, while not in production,
is practical with 'the application
of techniques already at our dis
posal."
This is probably the first time
in history that people have known
SO much about an invention yet
to be made,' he said in an in
terview yesterday.
st. German is an authority on
rockets, missiles and jet engines.
Point Mugu is the site from which
the Navy launches top secret
weapons which travel hundreds

cepts for travel to the moon and
back. But the fact that he could
talk about it for publication in
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1951-02-23

dicates the craft is not an i'm
mediate project
The spaceship would tower 325
feet into the air above the launch
ing site, weights 100000 pounds
and attain a speed of $4,000 miles
an hour. Power would be pro-
vided by four rockets one tele-
scoped inside the other, which
would drop off one by one as the
ship roared upward through the
earth's gravitational sphere.
The fifth rocket, carrying the
crew would cost to the moon
once it reached outer space. It's
fuel would be conserved for the
trip home. The return journey
would require far less fuel be-
cause the moon being smaller
than the earth, has little gravita-
tionaI pull.
st. German said liquid hydro
gen and oxygen would be the best
fuels, pending development of an
atomic engine.
He added that the landing on
the moon would be made tail first
with jets and rockets acting as
brakes.
