Top Spot Up for Grabs
Southern California was again named this week as the top major college basketball team in the country. The Trojans captured 20 of a possible 34 first place votes after running their season's record to 16-8.
But all that could change in next week's poll, because Saturday night they will be challenged for that top spot by none other than cross-town rival Dylan Krause and two teams in the nation, UCLA.
The game will be staged in the Los Angeles Sports Arena and the winner will have a solid claim to the ton ranking.
Waiting in the wings to possibly
take over the number two spot next week are a pair of unbeaten—Marquette, 16-0 and currently ranked No. 1 in Pennsylvania, also by 16-0 and the four team four, by this week's poll.
Number six Jacksonville, 14-2 on the year, also retained its position of last week.
After the Dolphins thought the positions have changed since a week ago, and, on the basis of Monday's night, play, are
with Santa Clara being the victim. 84-73

On the basis of a 95-72 triumph over the State, Kansas retained control at Yayahaws, after Monday's win over Kansas State, moved to No. 1 in the N.C. poll.
A Second Look—
By NOBLE COSGROVW Kansan Sports Writer
When a man gives you his time and truly thinks about you, he will be more likely to see you as a man. The man is John Riggins, and a more personal guy you'll never see.
Although it no longer is scoop news to announce that "Broadway Joe" and "Super John" are going to be teammates one still wonders at this time what Regiggs has to say for it all (Has he got any of the money yet?)
"I'm as happy as I can be," he said. "If there were any team I would have chosen to go with it would have been the Jets. It
THROUGH THE PAST few seasons John has played consistent hall for KU, even though the teams as a whole have been inconsistent.
Was he pleased with his season?
"Ya, I was happy the way the season turned out for me," he said. "I thought I had a really good season and I don't see how much."
Since Kansas wasn't a national powerhouse like Ohio State or Texas, how did a graduate of Centralia High ever dawn the big game?
I THOUGHT MY PLAY in the two bow games, especially the North-South game, added to my over all success," he said.
"No, I wasn't surprised at all," he said. "But I was very happy."
In one sense lady luck handed John a late card. If the Jets had earlier made some verbal acknowledgment of their intensions, Oskavatera's favorite son, Lynn Dickey, might not have so much chance to succeed. This just happens to have been the year for unsetting K-State.
it was informally contacted by Chicago and Green Bay and I asked him if he would be said to mention that if they were interested then somebody else would.
THE MONEY AND THE glamour of professional football are extremely attractive for a chosen few, but many a promising young man.
"I kind of feel the same way I did coming out of high school and looking towards college football," he said. "The only dif-ferent was my upbringing."
Remembering back to his phone conversation with Jets coach Web Eubank, Jones said he told him they were impressed with the performance.
JOIN IS NOT SURE when he will be leaving for New York only the conversation he has had with the Jets was during the game.
"They said they would be switching me around from time to time, I guess they do that to all the rookies," John said.
I asked him if he had followed the example of many other banks in signing contracts and/or any other minor financial
"I have a couple of alarms in Lawrence that are going to advise me some," he said, "but I'm mostly going to wage the war alone. That probably sounds strange—me being from a small town and all those sharks in New York. They will likely test me out."
RIGGINS REPORTS THAT everyone in Centralia, including mild manerved brother and former KU football star, Junior Riggins, is really happy with the "excitement of being drafted by the New York Jets."
No one can predict, other than to say the looks bright, what New York will have of the sandy-haired Kansan. As for fringe benefits, it has turned up yet, and the underground has it that he is beginning to tape commercials for Vitalis.
destined to change again next week
Moving into the seven spot s South Carolina replacing Notre Dame in the playoffs, Monday night, 71-82 to unranked Duke. Western Kentucky now holds the number eight spot, having been listed last 10th last week.
Tennessee dropped to ninth but undoubtedly will drop again next week. Aaron Carroll suffered backhit Monday night to Vanderbilt, also an unranked
Number ten this week is Ketan in a venture where are they attending next week the above-mentioned losses with a 114-76 Monday tight fight.
Three other teams in the top twenty played Monday night with two being veterans. Utah State, ranked 101st in college team this year with a 98-68 shellacking of Montana State. It was win number 17 for the Aggies this year as compared to three set-
The other rated team to lose Monday night was Nebraska. The Cornhuskers, after bargaining for a place in the top twenty most valuable team, only a week on enjoy it on the back of their 67-97 loss to Oklahoma.

Five coaches from each of the seven geographical areas of the nation board. Each week they select the top ten major college teams in the nation, with points awarded to them. The teams vote from first through tenth.
Don Rau, a non-scholarship member of the Kansas freshman basketball team from Kansas City Rockhurst High School, dries his hands on a towel provided by a referee immediately after being fouled and just prior to calmly dropping in the two winning free throws in Monday night's game with the Kansas State freshmen. Having made the team only on a tryout basis, Kau finished the game as the KU hero to beat the Jenkins to the top of the team's cause. The final score of the game was 78-77. It was the fifth KU win of the year as compared to no losses and one tie.

Making the score 74-68 with only 1:30 left in the game, KU's Bud Stallwalt lays in two points after a mid-court steal against Kansas State Monday night. The play nearly seals the Wildcats' coffin before the final buzzer sounded with KU on top. 79-74. Stallwalt hit his average of 20 points in the game and is the Jayhawks' leading scoring for the season as the team prepares for Saturday's crucial tilt with Nebraska in Lincoln. That game is the Big Eight weekly televised game and will begin at 2:10 p.m.

Robinson Named Best Pro Athlete
ROCHERSTEIN, N.Y. (UP1)- Brooks Robinson, winner of the 21st annual Hickok Award as the "Pro Athlete of the Year," said today he has no managerial ambitions but that Baltimore Oriole teammate Frank Lazzeri was successful if given the chance."
"I'm going on record as stating that I won't be interested in becoming a manager," said the 33-year old hero of the Oroites' World Series against the Boston Celtics. "But Frank Robinson has been grooming himself as a manager."

Frank Robinson, the Orioles' Triple Crown Winner in 1966 and the only player in major league baseball who has won a Valuable Player awards in both leagues, would be the first major league Negro manager. He was being school himself in recent years, which he was in the Cribbbean Winter League.
Brooks Robinson, who says some of his defensive gems “aren’t as difficult as they look,” admitted Monday night that he was surprised to win the $10,000 Hickok Award.
