Kentucky for the second straight
week, fought off a strong chal-
lenge by North Carolina to gain
top ranking among the nation’s
college basketball teams in the
weekly Associated Press poll..
The once-beaten Wildcats, need-
ing only one more victory to make
it an even 600 for Coach Adolph
Rupp, drew even more support to-
day despite the fact that they, as
well as the Tar Heels, were idle
last week.
Of the 114 sports writers and
broadcasters participating in the
poll, Kentucky drew 41 first place
votes to 27 for North Carolina.
Last week the Wildcats topped
the Tar Heels in first place votes
35 to 33. The balloting was based
on games, through-last Saturday
It was closer in the point total.
Kentucky (14-1) had 1,155 points
to 1,097 for North Carolina (10-1).
Kansas State was a distant third
despite 16 first place nominations.
The Wildcats (13-1) attracted 786

o’clock. ’
The Bengals, although losing to Paris 60-56 Friday
night, still rule the roost in the scoring department with

IM SHANDY and hla two plug-
J ugles were riding once more
in a direct line to overtake the
Rocky Mountain Fur Co pack
train. Joe Hassel and Emil Fred-
erick'a stolen noroe were dead to
a gully tar aft the trail. Parson
Bill Kerr was now riding Haasell’s
pony, which. according to Shan-
dy’s instructions, shey would say
they had found running loose on
the prairie.
“Big Nose tried to drink ill the
whisky in camp,” Shandy said.
“For all I know, he’s been drunk
all the way from St. Louis." He
looked hard at Mike Nesmith.
“Maybe you can boss the train
the rest of the way."
Nesmith spat "Far as it gits,
I can."
They understood each other.
“Parson Bill and me. that la."
Nesmith said, and his words and
his took were a warning that be
was going to look out for Parson
Bill. stupid and worthless as he
had proved.
Let it be so. Shandy thought
"You don’t aim to stay with
the train, nuhr" Nesmith asked.
“Just long enough to fire Big
Nose. Then TU go on ahead to
help Mordecai get horses," Shandy
and Nesmith gave each other a
long look.
“Ree Semple too?" Nesmith
asked.
“I figure he's gone on to ren-
des vous."
“Maybe he'D have a story to
tell.”
Let Semple talk. Shandy was
going to make it appear that ne
was doing everything possibie to
get the Rocky Mountain train
through ahead at the American
Fur Co train At best. Ree Sem-
ple and Mordecai Price were only
guessing Still, a good guess out
here was enough to cost a man
his life. <
In this case It had better be
Mordecai's life.
He would gure things out.
Shandy knew, but he still
wouldn’t know how Shandy was
standing in affairs Shandy Sl-

problems caused by Nesmith, or

A tong face and a down-

his name. Shandy came withn a
pair of giving him ms fininh. as
the three of them stood wth the
light breaking around them, lis-
tening to the triumphant yelps of
the Pawnees glimmering away
to the south,
"Ain’t the first horses ever

He spoke as one who had been
on both ends of such situationa.
“We’ll see how that fat gut of
yours likes walking." Shandy
lowered his rifle. Three men on
the prairie were better than two.
Also, Nesmith was standing be-
hind Shandy, and for some
strange reason Nesmith set great
store by Parson Bill.
---Nemmith grinned. A second took
at him showed the cruelty in the
mouth and the cunning tn the
eyes. U he lacked intelligence, he

As a matter of fact. Shandy
didn’t intend to walk a foot. The
American Fur Co. pack train was
somewhere behind them. It was
unlikely that Emil Frederick,
clerk of the train, would know
any more about Shandy’s position
in American affairs than Nesmith
and Parfon BUl knew — they
thought Shandy was on his way
to hurrying ilong the Rocky
Mountain Fur Co. pack train.
But Frederick would have to
hold to the courtesy of the trail
and help them out. White men

Shandy said “Well wait for It"
