NEW YORK Up Kentucky's
unbeaten basketball team, which
refrainod from tournament CON-
petition this year, came out ahead
of the two national tournament
winners, LaSalle and Holy Cross,
in the final Associated Press rank
ing poll of the 1953-54 season to-
| day.
The Kentucky Wildcats, topping
II of the 1873 ballots cast by sports
writer's and broadcasters through
out the nation, captured the No.
ranking by the very small margin
of 80 points from LaSalle's Ex-
plorers, the newly crowned Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Assn.
champions.
Holy Cross, the surprise winner
of the National Invitation Tourna-
ment, was strong third, with In
diana, the 1858 NCAA champion
and a strong preseason favorite,
fourth.
The final count, on the basis of
10 points for each firSt-place ballot,
nine for second, eight for third,
etc., gave Kentucky LILO points
and La Sale 1,O78. Holy Cross
drew 914 points and Indiana 1876.
BY finishing on top, Kentucky
retained the spot it had held in
IL of 16 weekly polls throughout
the season. Indiana, tabled as the
likely winner in the preseason poll,
held onto the No. 1 spot for two
weeks before suffering its first de-
feat. Duquesne moved to the front
for couple of weeks late in the
season, then ran into two setbacks
and dropped behind again.
Kentucky won Is straight games
during the regular season, includ-
ing a playoff with Louisiana State
for the Southeastern Conference
championship, but declined to en-
ter the NCAA Tournament, for
which it qualified automatically.
The reason was that three post
graduate players, eligible for con-
ference competition, were not elig-
ible under NCAA regulations.
The influence of postseason tour
nament results on the voting was
seen in La Sales rise to second

Rule Changed

KANSAS CITY Up - Basketball
players awarded free throws in
future college games will have
more incentive than ever 30 shoot
the ball through the hoop.
If they do they'll get q second
Shot-a chance to make two points
instead of one. If they don't, the
ball goes into play.
The new rule, adopted by the
National Basketball Committee
yesterday, applies to common per-
Sonal fouls committed in the first
81 minutes OF game. The COM
mittee did not change the rule
for the last three minutes of the
game-two shots, regardless Of
whether the first is made or
missed.
A common foul is one commit
ted while the player fouled is not
in the act of shooting. The new
rule replaces the controversial one
and-one regulation. Under that rule
a fouled player got a second free
throw if he missed the first shot,
but not otherwise.
The committee also divided the
game into halves again, eliminat-
ing the quarter timing adopted in
the 1852 season. By reverting to
two periods of 20 minutes each

ficials hope to cut down stalhng

college games will be played by
halves, however, others continuing

Javits became a leader in the
fight against it.
In 1850 he introduced an edu-
cational opportunities bill to bar
discrimination in higher educa-
ton. He followed this with an
omnibus civil rights bill in 1852
in which he asked for an end to
segregation in the armed forces,
housing, education and at the
same time called for an FEPC, an
anti-lynch bill and an anti-poll
tax measure.
When the Minis bombing in
Florida shocked the nation II was
Javits who asked J. Edgar Hoover
Of the FBI to suggest a way to
curb such actions and when
Hoover quibbled on the job, ia
Wits wrote directly to his boss, the
Attorney General.
He didn't get any satisfaction
but there were about 400 other
Congressman who didn't bother to
write.
Someone noted discrimination in
the State Department. Javits call
ed together the presidents of Ho-
ward. Fisk, Lincoln and Atlanta
Universities and set up a meeting
with the State Department out of
which grew the present day plan
which is training persons into the
foreign diplomatic service.
OF course, anyone with any poll
teal savvy can see the fine hand
of John Silvera behind much Of
this. And when Javits became
candidate, Johnny worked as If he
himself were running for office.
When the votes were all in ia
Wits won by a mere 1858 votes
out of a total of more than five
million votes vast. What made the
difference?
FDR had the name OF his illus
trious father. And Javits? Well in
Harlem he had Johnny Silvera!
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1954-12-31

I'LL DdFibo, a NOhE ! tSsildi
trict which takes in the Upper
Harlem and Washington Heights
section Of Manhattan, had his
work cut out for him when he
entered the race for attorney gen.
eral.
As Republican all he had to
do was to go out and whip the
magic name of Franklin ID. Roose-
welt and all that II means in New
York State. And anyone will tell
you that whipping young FDR
Jr., is "A man-sized job in itself.
This writer is unable to cate
gorically explain how Mr.. Javits,
a member of the Jewish faith, was
able to get so many votes in con-
sentative upstate New York. But
the large vote he got in Harlem
and the method in which he went
about getting II may offer some
explanation.
When FDR Jr. entered the race
against Javits, Democrats openly
stated that they were not half as
much concerned about Roosevelt
being able TO beat Javits as they
were about Roosevelt running a.
head of Hartman on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Carmine DeSapio and others
felt that young Frank was certain
to win, but that II he won and
got more votes than Hartman he
would be hard to handle in 1856.
All this talk came up in Harlem
where the name FDR is magic.
And strangely enough, Harlem
just took a wait and see" atti-
tude.
But when the votes were count
ed 1t was found that Javits had
beaten Roosevelt and that in the
predominantly colored 18th assem-
bly, district in Harlem, Javits had
outrun the head OF his ticket.
This didn't make sense to some
OF the politicians downtown but II
was plain as day to people in Hsr-
lem.
The difference, as plain as I
can put II was John d. Silvera.
Back in l947 Javits showed
more foresight than many other
white politicians who realize that
they have to reckon with the col
ored vote
Javits went out and placed a
colored man on his staff-made
Silvera his community liaison
man"
Silvera, one of the better pub
lie relations men in Harlem, hap
pens TO believe that people should
not buy what they cannot see and
he sold that idea 10 Javits.
Silvera also sold Javits on the
idea that people in Harlem are
more interested in the politician
who shows a deep interest in them,
Javits learned his lines well.
Pretty soon he began to show
up at Harlem civic and social
functions, All kinds of affairs,
NAACP, Urban League, YMCA.
benefits, everything. And 1t wasn't
long before Javits was about as
well known in Harlem as Con-
gresham Adam Powell.
II wasn't easy for him. Harlem
/ is fiercely Democratic and I've
seen Javits sit as the lone Repub-
lican in many a meeting and take
