Utah and St Josephs of Philadelphia are toss-up- s for third place honors, a position the Utes would like to have partially in way of public apology for its Friday night play, mostly because third is one better than fourth. It was easy for the Ohio teams as the Jerry Lucas Buckeyes ran down a smaller, and seemingly helpless, St Joes five, 95-6- and Cincy found Utahs sone defense to Its liking and pecked out a rather win haphazard over the Redskins.

The zone defense had worked for Utah at the start of the last three games. But within 10 minutes, each time, Utah slipped defense and seemed to r make their best ground. That might have been the best move here Friday, but the Utes had slowed Cincys fast break down to a walk. But Utahs walk was slower.

As the game wore Cincy took its clue and rovered the keyhole, sagged on Bill McGill, let the Utah shooters pass up their easy shots. No one seemed to pick up the tempo from McGill. If anyone had fired from medium range, as Utah has been wont to do, the game might have turned into a struggle. In this respect, maybe a big bouquet for Coach Ed Jucker for bringing us to his terms. At any rate, a pat on the Redskins backs for seeing us this far. fast-brea- Deseret News Stecial CITY. MO.
