KU still No.6
NEW YORK (UPI)—St. John's University, where winning basketball is a tradition, is also a success at the ballot box as the Redmen continue their surprising rise in the weekly United Press International major college ratings.
Coach Lou Carneseca's charges, who cracked the list of the elite last week by upsetting No. 2 North Carolina, used the same formula again this week to move into eighth position.
The Redmen toppled No. 3 Davidson from the ranks of the unbeaten in a hair-raising overtime battle, and the second consecutive upset of a high ranking team helped boost the New York school from 10th to eighth.
The 35-member UPI Coaches Rating Board once again gave mighty UCLA unanimous support as the No. 1 team. Coach John Wooden's Bruins received all the first place votes for the fifth consecutive week.
North Carolina, rebounding with a convincing victory over Duke following the upset loss to St. John's, held on to second place but the Tar Heels were being challenged for the runnerup spot by powerful Santa Clara.
The Tar Heels received 249 points in the weekly balloting while Santa Clara, unbeaten in 12 games and anxious to get another crack in the playoffs against UCLA, compiled 201 points. Davidson, now 7-1, slipped to fourth with 199 points.
Illinois and New Mexico State, both unbeaten, also moved up in the ratings while Kentucky and Villanova slipped slightly and Kansas held on to its No. 6 position.
Illinois, 10-0 under second-year coach Harv
Schmidt, moved to No. 5 while Kentucky, a loser to Wisconsin, dropped to seventh. Villanova 7-1 slipped to ninth while New Mexico State 11-0 climbed from 15th to the No. 10 spot.
New Mexico headed the second 10 with 31 points, followed in order by Notre Dame, Purdue, Duquesne, Columbia, Louisville, Drake, Tulsa, Northwestern and Detroit. Northwestern and Detroit tied for 19th with nine points each.
Morgan gets NCAA award
Dave Morgan, Wauwatosa, Wisc. senior, has been awarded a $1000 scholarship for post graduate study by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Morgan is a three year letterman in football. He played for the Jayhawks as a defensive back and punter.
Majoring in mathematics, he has a 2.5 grade point average.
He is the second KU football scholar that has been honored by the NCAA. Ronald D. Oelschlager, Marion senior in the school of medicine was presented the award in 1965.
Thirty-three such awards were made nationally in the university and college divisions.
Lake ready for skates
Cyclones set national record to defeat Jayhawk gymnasts
Potter's Lake has now frozen solidly enough to support ice skaters, said Henry Shenk, professor of Physical Education. The ice is about five inches thick, Shenk reported. He said that ice must be about four inches thick.
Although Iowa State's gymnasts posted the highest team score in the nation, they only clipped the Jayhawks by slightly more than four points in a dual meet at New Robinson Dec. 20.
The Cyclones broke the 9.0 barrier nine times and amassed a whopping 160.75 points in the meet. "Iowa State's score is the best in the nation so far," Bob Lockwood, KU's gymnastics coach, said.
Kansas finished the meet with 156.375 points to register the second best score by a Big Eight gymnastics team. This score also erased the previous KU record for total points.
The two teams will clash again in the conference meet March 20-22 in Ames, Iowa.
Ed Gagnier, ISU's gymnastics coach, told Lockwood after the Dec. 20th meet that he was impressed by KU's gymnasts. "Kansas is easily the second best team in the conference and I hope you don't beat us in the conference meet," Gagnier said.
KU spotted the Cyclones a four-point lead after the first three events (floor exercise, side horse, and rings) when three

Jayhawk gymnasts did not score as well as they usually do and because Tom Johnson, a side hourse specialist, was sidelined with the Hong Kong flu.

carry lead.
The Jayhawks' parallel bar team of John Brouillette, John Edwards, Bob Pierson and Stan
Clyne established a new KU record for total points scored in this event and finished only 3 of a point behind the Cyclones' parallel bar team.
"I would consider Iowa State's parallel bar team the best in the country," Lockwood said. He said that this four-man team took three of the top four places in the Midwest Open in Chicago Nov. 30.
