Kansas Still In Second Place In UP Rankings
NEW YORK—(UP)—The North Carolina Tar Heels, needing only victories over Wake Forest tonight and Duke Friday night to complete a perfect regular-season basketball campaign, led the runner-up Kansas Jayhawkers by a wide margin today in the United Press ratings.
Kentucky (20-4) held third place and Southern Methodist (19-3) remained fourth.
Coach Frank McGuires Tar Heels boosted their record to 22-0 last week by defeating North Carolina State and South Carolina. Coach Dick Harp's Jayhawkers whipped Oklahoma and Nebraska but suffered their second loss of the campaign when they bowed to Oklahoma A & M.
U. C. L. A. (20-2) took sole possession of fifth place after sharing it with Bradley last week. Seattle (20-2) advanced from seventh to sixth. Bradley (18-4) drew a first-place vote for the first time this season but slipped from fifth to eighth. California (17-3) remained ninth and Louisville (18-5) slipped from eight to 10th while receiving the other first-place vote.
Basing their ballots on games played through Feb. 23, the 35 coaches who rate the teams weekly for the UP gave North Carolina 29 first-place votes and a total of 344 points. Kansas (18-2) received four first-place votes and 300 points. North Carolina thus had a 44-point lead after leading Kansas by only 19 last week.
North Carolina needs only two victories to round out an undefeated regular campaign but they could be tough tests because both are road games. The Tar Heels play Wake Forest tonight at Winston-Salem, N.C., and Duke at Durham, N.C. Friday night. Kansas has only one game this week, visiting Colorado Saturday night.
Indiana (13-6) was the only newcomer in the top 10, advancing from 11th to seventh. Iowa State dropped from 10th to 14th following its Saturday night loss to Kansas State.
Tar Heels Need Two
Kentucky received 241 points and Southern Methodist 214. Then came U.C.L.A., 145; Seattle; Indiana, 105; Bradley, 92; California, 89; and Louisville, 65.
Michigan State headed the second 10 with 29 points. St. Louis and Kansas State tied for 12th. Iowa State was 14th, while West Virginia and Vanderbilt tied for 15th. Brigham Young was 17th and Dayton 18th. Notre Dame, Oklahoma City University and Ohio State tied for 19th.
Points are distributed on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for votes from first to 10th place. Thirty-four schools were mentioned on the ballots this week.

Swimmers Meet E-State Today
The Jayhawker swimming team will attempt to even their record at 4-4 when they face the Emporia State Hornets at Emporia today.
KU has already defeated the Hornets 60-23 this year in a meet in Lawrence. The Jayhawkers are heavily favored to make it two in a row over the Emporia squad.
Coach Chuck Edwards said, "I expect to win the match, even though the Emporia pool is narrower than ours and will be somewhat of a handicap."
This is Emporia's first year of varsity swimming competition. The Hornets started the season without any experienced swimmers, but they have been improving rapidly.
After today's match the Jayhawkers face the tough Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday in their last dual meet of the season.
Nebraska, K-State and Kansas are expected to battle for third place behind the defending champion Oklahoma Sooners and the strong Iowa State Cyclones in the Big Seven meet March 8-9.
Today's meet with Emporia could give the Jayhawkers a chance to uncover some extra depth which has been needed all season and which will be necessary if they hope to subdue the Huskers Saturday.
