HOUSTON FALLS:
UCLA Lolls Atop C

By The Associated Press
Texas Western made the most
rapid advance in the Associated
Press', major-college basketball
poll this week while powerful
UCLA swept the boards for the
third straight time.
The Bruins from Los Angeles
were the unanimous choices in the
voting by a national panel of 38
sports writers and broadcasters
after downing Chicago Loyola 82-
67 in their only game last week.
Unbeaten UCLA, also a unani-
mous selection the previous two
weeks, cruised past Illinois 120-82
Sunday for its 16th victory. The
balloting, however, was based on
games through last Saturday.
North Carolina held second
place after beating Virginia 103-
76, boosting its record to 12-1. The
Tarheels collected 298 points.
Louisville advanced one place to
third with 284 points followed by
Texas Western, 221 points.

Bodyguard
For Alcindor
CHICAGO (P)-Police revealed
yesterday that Lew Alcindor was
assigned a bodyguard over the
weekend in Chicago after the
UCLA basketball star had received
threatening letters, before the
team left Los Angeles.
Because of snowbound Chicago,
the team was in town from Friday
until Monday morning, playing
games in the Chicago Stadium
Saturday night and Sunday after-
noon.
During the entire stay, a police
plainsclothesman stayed close to
Alcindor.
Arthur Morse, assistant athletic
director at Loyola and promoter
of the Chicago Stadium basketball
programs, said the matter was
treated secretly until the team left
the city. He said that J. D. Mor-
gan, UCLA athletic director, had
advised him a week before the
Saturday game that crank letters
to Alcindor had Chicago post-
marks.
Morse and Loyola Coach George
Ireland turned the matter i>ver to
the office of Orlando Wilson, po-
lice commissioner, and the body-
guard plan was arranged.

and Vanderbilt also started thei
bids to advance in the poll.

His 10.3 clocking in the 100 tied
