Duke has perhaps the best shooting team in the nation. Four members of its first five hit for better than 50 percent from the floor this season; their fifth man, Art Heyman, is probably the best player in college basketball today. The great shooting of Heyman (25.3 points per game) and Jeff Mullins, coupled with the height of Hank Tison and Jay Buckley (both 6 ft. 10 in.) make the Blue Devils look invincible on paper.

...Illinois, the Colleges of Agriculture and Engineering comprise about 25 percent of the undergraduate enrollment, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences about 40 per cent, with the rest divided among Commerce, Fine and Applied Arts, Education, Aviation, Journalism, and Physical Education.
