Most states give recognition, lo a state tree, a state - flower- and a state bird. The magazine even goes so far as to list the suggested fish for each state steelhead for Oregon, salmon for Washington, sailfish for Florida, muskellunge for Wisconsin, tarpon for Texas, etc. ; All very ; appropriate, and 4ll amounting to a good idea.1 But we( rather doubt that the District f Columbia will settle for the native "fish" assigned to it.

While players were congratula ting each other and slapping ev erybody within hailing distance on the back, the - flash i bulbs and champagne corks were competing with each other to see which could make the loudest pops. In the middle of the furore, Leo Durocher, whose adroit managing was largely responsible for .the Giants' second flag in four years, was showering every Giant; player with pr?ise. "Grv great," he kept repeat ing "They were all wonderful. This was a team victory, make no mistake about it. Everybody played i a Part They never let down.

I Oklahoma stole a march on many of the other clubs who were among the leaders in the pre-season poll, moving out front by thumping Cali fornia 27-13 while Notre Dame, the pre-season No. 1 club, was idle. - The Irish, voted second although they haven't made their first start under 26-year-old Terry Brennan, bump into the No. 4 club, Texas, this week. s The first poll was strictly "no contest" zi far as Oklahoma was concerned.

Maryland and Texas, third and fourth in the pre-season test, held their positions. Maryland roiled ov er Kentucky 20-0 and Texas pre pared for Notre Dame by blanking Louisiana State 26-0. Georgia Tech pushed past idle Illinois into fifth place by ripping Tulane 28-0. Michigan State, UCLA and Mississippi follow in order with Baylor and Wisconsin tied for tenth place. t , i Actually, the scattered early games ran true to form in most cases. The result of the first week's play seemed to be that those who were in action (drew extra support while the teams : still waiting for their first game lost votes, i Baylor and Texas Christian are the only new teams to move into the first 20 ratings. Baylor battered Houston to earn enough votes for its 10th place tie with .Wisconsin. Texas Christian won over Kansas 27-6 to become the 20th team, pend ing this week's meeting with Okla homa.
