Geneva, which last won a WPC title three years ago, knocked off defending champion Westminster, 68-60, and then defeated Grove City, 72-64, to deadlock St. Francis for first place at 12 points, each with 6-2 records. Westminster, previously defeated by St.

Francis, 81-76, hosts the Red Flash tonight In a game which could well determine the 1963 champion. The Titans have a 4-2 record right now, and have four games remaining. This will be the ninth for St. Francis on the 10-game schedule all three of the top teams play this season. A Westminster loss would virtually eliminate the defending champs.

The two teams had been tied with the Gallatin Tigers for second place, two points behind Lowber. The Lowber-Gallatin game had been postponed because of lack of manpower on the. latter club, due to both illness and suspensions.

Ken Juskowich, Larry La-cik and Paul Si sura each scored goals as Bethel Tark blanked Dunlevy, 3-0, to break a second-place tie between the two teams.

NO MAIL OR PHONE ORDERS SALS WSISSSm DFSXflLTSS (91-74), take on Dayton's Flyers in Civic Arena on Wednesday night in their only game. The tourney-eager Jungle Cats, easy victors over Ford-ham (87-61) and Westminster (72-55) invade Morgantown the same night determined to reverse the recent giveaway game to West Virginia's Mountaineers. Bisons Here Saturday Coach Bob Timmons Blue and Gold basketeers also have a Saturday night engagement here with Bucknell. Carnegie lecn takes on Akron Goodyear In an exhibition in the Rubber City on Wednesday night and is at home to Western Reserve tin Saturday to round out the city college schedule. Duke rooters are hopeful (hat history repeats itself in the Dayton battle.

Last winter the Red and Blue upset the Flyers by 20 points in Fitz gerald Field House, 79-59, then lost at Dayton by 23 at 71-48 Recently the Ohioans beat the Bluffites in Dayton by ex actly the same margin as they lost here last season, 79-59. It's up to Ron Willard, John Ce- galis, Willie Ross, Denny Cuff and the rest of the Hilltoppers to reverse that result in mid week. Loss of Cegalis Hurt Cegalis, a 6-6 hoopster, got chased in the first Dayton game due to a bit of fistic action. It was close until the rugged North Catholic re-bounder left the game. Pitt's losses to West Virginia have become nionoton-, ous.

The 68-67 decision which the Mountaineers won by default here recently when Pitt called for a timeout as Dave Roman shot what would have been the winning goal, was the 14th straight game surrendered by Skyscraper U. Last win over the Mountaineers was in 1951 by a 70-59 margin, at Morgantown. There should be no com plaints about the officiating this time as Red Mihalic and Don Noff will handle the con test.
