ity 4 Major Colleg
le On Undefeated
NEW YORK, Jan. 6 (UPJThere
are only four ntajor colleges in
the country with undefeated bas-
ketball teams.
A weekend of upsets cut the
list in half and only Washington,
West Virginia; Rhode Island
State and Seton Hall are still in
the charmed circle.
Two of the still-undefeated -i
had an easy time winning their
games Saturday night. Washing-
tion took a <52 to 11 decision from
Idaho, defending champs in the
northern division of the Pacific
Coast coast conference. West
Virginia also had a breather,
romping over Salem college 88
to IS.
The other two teams with per-
fect records had a tougher time
stiekini to the straight and nar-
row. Si ton Hall turned back a
good T iledo team 5!l to 18 in a
game t ud was closer than the
score indicates. And the race-
horse Rams of Rhode island
State, the better-than ltiO-points-
a-gamelteam, slowed down a bit
hut -till licked Saint John's 51 to
50.
Tile four previously-undefeat-
ed teams who dropped by the
wayside last night were Iowa,
Cornell, Oregon and Western
Miuhigan. Washington Hitate
continued to play the role o f
spoiler. I.a.-i week the state
hoys shoved Santa Clara from
the unbeaten ranks, and last
night the Cougars handed Ore-
gon its first whipping, 52 to 10.
The big reds of Cornell went
down for the first time
Canlsityt 50 to 10, while Indiana
first defeat Saturday was Iowa,
dropping its game 53 to 63 to a
surprising Wisconsin team. The
famous Whiz Kids of Illinois
had been given top ranking in
the big nine conference, with
Iowa a close second. But Wis-
consin gave the dope cart a sharp
tilt by defeating both the Iilinlos
and Iowa.
Although it is still impossible
to select a team as number one
in the nation, the various sec-
tions are beginning to shape up.
Rhode island State, N.Y.U., C.C.
N.Y., and Seton Hall are the pow-
ers in the East. Wisconsin is the
Cinderella team in the Big Nine,
with Iowa, Illinois and Minne-
sota all definite threats, Notre
Dame Is another mid-western
power.
Kentucky, despite its defeat
at the hands of the Oklahoma
Aggies, is still the cream of the
south. Texas, L.S.U., and Duke
are strong contenders. Washing-
ton paces tin* far west, with
U.C.L.A., Nevada. Santa Clara
and a couple of others sure to
give plenty of trouble.

Sweetwater’s coldest weekend
in several years was one of
many happenings. For Instance,
the scores of automobiles that
were frozen, regardless of anti-

mercury falls to four below zero

rounds and found it wasn't too

K. C. Ford, Ed and Frank
Hobbs plowed their way through
the snow to find the duck hunt-
ing fairly good. After cutting
loose with an aerial bombard-

they knocked 20 out of the skv.
Bobby McMilliun brought down
two with his 12 gauge at lake

George Stephens, George Jr.,
and Harvey Staton went out
Roseoe way near .the Neblett
farm. While Stephens and Staton
were nabbing 7 ducks each.
George Jr., downed I ducks and
two rabbits.

(By United Press)
Henry Wallace has stepped in-
to the hottest economic debate
In the country — thq debate.over -
the . Nathan report. ‘ w
That’s the report that New
Deal Economist Robert Nathan
made for the CTO in which he
suid that industry could afford to
raise wages now without raising
prices, too, Wallace says he sup-
ports the Nuthun report.
The former vice-president, who
now edits the ‘‘New Republic,"
also takes the opportunity to
make a correction involving an-
other report —one made just A
over u year ago on wages in the
auto industry, bythe department
of Commerce. Wallace says he
did not disavow the auto indus-
try report —as is widely believ-
ed.
Getiing back to the Nathan re-
port, its author took part in a
radio debate today with an eco-
nomist for the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, Dr, Ralph
Roltey. «
Nathan emphasized during the "
debate that the ability to grant
wage increases without boosting
prices varies from industry to
industry. Roltey argued that lie
favors letting what lie calls the
present downward trend of
price continue — rather than
giving another round of wage-
increases. And Roltey says he be-
lieves tile supreme court deci-
sion on portal-to-portal p a y
claims will cost industry s <> g
much that it will completely
change the outlook for profits.
