Last 2UnbeatenFves Due
For Toughest Tests Tonight
Cincinnati and
ViIIunovu Both
In Rood Games
BY the Associated Press

Cincinnati and Villanova,
the Nations only major college
basketball teams with perfect
records, will risk their proud
streaks away from home to-
night against formidable OPP
position, They figure to be
hard-pressed against Bradley
and West Virginia, respectively.
Cincinnati, top team in the
Associated Press poll, plays
once-beaten Bradley in quest
OF its 14th consecutive victory
this season. Bradley is ILL,
has won 30 straight games on
its home court at Peoria, H.,
scene of tonight's game, and
has whipped Cincinnati the
past two seasons at Peoria.
Bradley's only loss this sea-
son was inflicted by Cincinnati,
86-7l, on the Cincinnati floor.
MOuntaineers Tough
Villanova. ranked ninth with
a 100 mark, receives its stern
est test against West Virginia,
14-l, and rated third. On its
Morgantown court, where it will
be operating tonight, West Vir-
ginia has won 80 in a row. The
Mountaineers' only loss this
season was to California at Los
Angeles.
Lurking in the shadows are
California's Golden RearS. 54-
43 winners over Washington
State last night AID perhaps
poised to vault into the No.
spot if Cincinnati loses and
they beat Washington tonight.
However, home jinx or not,
Bradley will have to stop Oscar
Robertson, the nations leading
scorer with a 1872 average.
Bradley's task has been made
easier with the loss of Bob
Wiesenhahn, Cincinnati's re-
bounder and defensive player.
Wiesenhahn hurt his foot last
week and hasn't played since.
Though he will be in uniform,
Coach George Smith doesn't
expect him to play. Thus addi-
tional pressure will be put on
Robertson for rebounding and
defense.
On the other hand, West
Virginia has Jerry West, its
All-America ace, set to break
the Wildcats. He is the Ma
tion's seventh leading scorer
with a 25.8 average, and he is
at his best at home.
Bears Pull Away
California, ahead by only two
points at the half against
Washington State, won its 18th
in IA games as Bill McClintock
led a second-half surge and
wound up with II points. WASH
ington, the Bears opponent to-
night, lost to Stanford, 58-55.
The Southwest Conference
has a three-way tie for first,
with the possibility of a four
way deadlock if Arkansas beats
Rice tonight. Texas Ann, re-
bounding from its first loss
Tuesday night, beat Texas,
1851, last night. Carroll Brous-
sard led the Aggies with 20
points.
| Max Williams scored six of
his teams eight points in an
overtime session as Southern
Methodist edged Baylor, 1871.
The three leaders are all 81,
with the Aggies showing an
ILL overall record.
| Other top action tonight has
sixth ranked Georgia Tech
(l2-D against Vanderbilt in a
Southeastern Conference game,
seventh-rated Utah (12-2) fac
ing Denver and 10th-ranked
Southern Cal (10-5) playing
Oregon State after being upset
by UCLA, 63-62, last night.

John as the latter is worked
slowly toward peak for the
Olympic trials.

as high as he wants to- feet
and above-as long as he
doesn't appear too tired, the
coaches agree.

another field event specialist
with an eye toward the Olym-
pics in Rome. Holder of the
world indoor mark of 15-teet-
9l2, Bragg cleared l5-foot-3
last week in Baltimore-and
pronounces himself ready for
a record bid tonight.

A 3-mile, instead of a
2-mile race will be held for
distance runners to better pre-
pare the athletes for the
Olympic tryouts at 5000
meters. Meet Director Ding
Dussault said.

winner of the 6O0-yard run
here a year ago, is concen-
trating on the dash for the
Olympics. He will face Paul
Winder of Morgan State and
Ira Davis in the 50-yard field.
Olympic Champion Lee CAL
houn is favored to make it
three straight meet triumphs
in the hurdles.
