Michigan’s juggernaut rolled on. over the weekend, as the Wolverines cemented their claim on the nation's peak of football superiority. With a 14-2 win over Northwestern. Bennie Oosterbaan’s eleven captured its second conference win in four victories. But neither Wisconsin nor Purdue is on the slate this season, making tlie winning of the Big Pen somewhat easier. Through playing a fairly easy schedule, Maryland's split-T wizards loom as top-rankers and will probably rep resent the Atlantic Coast conference in the Orange Bowl. The Terps don’t play Duke this year and should go un beaten, especially with the 7-0 win over a tough UCLA team already on the books. Ranking third in the Associated Press poll this week are the all-winning Sooners from Oklahoma. Drubbing Kansas 44-6. the Big Seven behemoths captured their 23rd consecu tive win. They will likely face Maryland in the Orange Bowl come New Year's day. though they still must get past a tough Colorado team Saturday. Welsh-to-Beagle Clicks Led by the peerless team of quarterback George \\ elsh and end Ron Beagle. the Xavy tide washed over I’enn State by a big 34-14 count. Still unbeaten, and until last week un scored upon, the Middies face big games with Xotre Dame and Duke, in addition to the gigantic with twice-beaten Army. Duke’s Blue Devils jumped to the fifth spot with their comeback win over Ohio State last Saturday. Playing in the same league as Maryland, the Duke eleven must play Navy and Georgia Tech before completing an unmarred campaign. Michigan State swarmed all over Xotre Dame last week end, and the resulting nvin gave the Spartans the number six spot. Losers only to Michigan, Duffy Daugherty’s club frankly entertains no Rose Bowl hopes, but stands a good chance of going unbeaten for the rest of the year. Uclans Eye Roses Still in a strong position is UCLA, holders of the number seven slot. After a narrow escape against a determined Stanford team last week, the Bruins should breathe ea-ier against Cal Saturday. With only the Maryland loss spoil ing their record, the single-wing powered Uclans will ho.->t in the Rose Bowl if they get past USC and Washington. West Virginia, the last major unbeaten squad in the top ten, plays a fairly light schedule in the weak Southern conference, but is still highly-regarded as a possible con tender for a Cotton or Sugar Bowl bid. They may stumble on Penn State or Pittsburgh. Auburn rates the top group with its upset win over Geor gia Tech, 14-12. Rated high in the Southeastern conference, the Plainsmen have come back despite the loss of all-Amer ican end prospect Jim Pyburn to pro baseball to post a 3-0-1 _ record. Trojans Move Up Southern California’s pile-driving- win over a good Wiscon sin team boosted their stock considerably since their loss to Washington two weeks ago. The Trojans must win all of their remaining games to take the PCC crown, plus play Notre Dame. They are ineligible for the return trip to the Rose Bowl. Heading up the second ten are such former powers (ex top-ten) as Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, and Texas Christian. Also rated high are unbeaten Colorado, Boston college, Yale and Holy Cross; and Baylor and Texas A & M. In standout games this weekend, Oklahoma will play Colorado in a battle of unbeatens; Miami takes on Texas Christian in an intersectional; Wisconsin attempts to re gain stride against twice-beaten Ohio State; UCLA will entertain Iowa; and Purdue will attempt to make it two straight years of victories against Notre Dame.

Auburn Soph AP Line Pick By lh» Attoci«ted Pratt A sophomore seldom is named lineman of the week, but Jimmy Phillips of Auburn gained the honor Wednesday. Phillips, an end, won the award for his stellar perform ance in helping Auburn upset Georgia Tech 14-12 last Satur day. He topped the nominations in the weekly Associated Press poll of sportswriters and broad casters. Behind 12-7, Auburn drove 80 yards for its winning touchdown in the last period with Phillips catching passes good for gains of 7, 12 and 20 yards despite the frantic efforts of Tech defend ers The last catch put the pig skin on the Tech 5 and set up the winning TD. Phillips, hailed as the succes sor to Auburn's famed Jim Py burn, was equally good on de fense. He turned in a tremendous job in harrassing Tech's runners. Jerry RUiott, Auburn’s other end. likewise turned in u fine job as did end Ronnie Beagle for Navy against Penn State. Beagle was George Welsh’s best re ceiver as the Middies crushed the Nittany Lions. Buck Nystrom, Michigan State guard, was praised for ids purr in helping MRU upset Notre Dante. So was center Jimmy Jones of North Carolina who scored his team's only touch down against Maryland.
