Oklahoma AggiesTops
In College Basketball,
ST. Louis Coach SAYS
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Ask
Eddie Hickey who has the best
college basket ball team in the
country and he'll answer:
oklahoma A. g. M, the finest
team I've seen."
That's the opinion of the coach
who has beaten and been beaten
by the top four teams in this
weeks Associated Press poll.
Hickey's praise of the possess
sion and point-stingy Aggies
comes after they drubbed his st.
Louis five, 55-44. Wednesday.
The st. Louis head man rates
A8zM over Kentucky did, Brad
ley (16-2) and Long Island Uni

undefeated Aggies in that order
in the AP poll.

for major schools.
Iba stresses deliberate play,
setting up the offense and passing
the ball around until an opening
develops. This style, criticized in
some circles, has succeeded l6
straight times this season.
Long Island University kept
pace as a contender with an easy
1856 victory over Fort Devens
last night.
LIU also figures in the news off
the court. Coach Clair Bee has
asked Arizona to cancel sched-
uled game at Tucson January 20.
Bee said travel and accommo-
cations" difficulties caused him to
beg off. Arizona officials still hope
to change Bees mind. as the game
has been a Sellout for weeks.

AU Out to Regain Lead.
When American University lost
the Mason-Dixon Conference lead
10 days ago. Coach Staff Cassell
promised his Eagles would be back
on top, and soon.
They have their chance sooner
than expected, because with the
other teams beating each other,
AU can regain the lead tonight
by defeating Mount st. Mary's in
Emmitsburg. The Mounts have
won five and lost none and are
the only unbeaten team in the
league. AU could take first place
with a 6-1 standing by winning
tonight.
However, Mount st. Mary's is a
tough opponent in its new gym
and Cassell expects a lot of
trouble. He watched the Mounts
beat Loyola by II points Tues
day. and said it could have been
worse. Loyola is the only Con-
ference team to beat AU.
The Eagles will return imme-
diately after the game, sleep a
few hours and take a train to
