PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1941. Minnesota Again Voted Top Football Team; Texas Aggies Second BLUE DEVILS GET THIRD PLACE IN WEEKLYAP POLL Texas Drops From Second To Ninth On TCU Loss Stanford Seventeenth. New York, Nov. 18. (AP) There is no argument among ports writers in Minnesota's ranking as the nation's top col lege football team but the writers can't decide with finality on the runncr-up to the Norse men in the weekly Associated Press poll. As is customary. Minnesota heads the parade again this week with 1,278 out of a possible 1,290 votes and the scribes selected Texas A & M as second. A year ago today the two elevens held identical positions. The Texas Aggies, however, are threatened. Only 82 points behind their aggregate of 993 is the all-winning Duke combina tion, with Notre Damn three bel li lots to the rear of the Blue Devils. Of the 129 ballots received, 112 put the Gophers in first place; five scribes chose Texas A ft M while 12 selected Duke as the best club. Homer Norton's athletes, however, were almost a universal choice for second and pushed Duke to third. Missouri Cracks "10" A week ago the University of Texas was second but Texas Christian nicked the Longhorns and tumbled them to ninth place. Newcomer to the favored 10 this week is Missouri, the Tigers hopping from sixteenth to eighth place following their 28 to 0 de feat of Oklahoma. Stanford made room for Missouri by losing its second game and slumping to 17th after holding a "big ten" berth for a week. But Just to show that the scribes aren't influenced entirely by wins and losses, thrice-beaten Northwestern retains its ranking among the nation's 10 best. Fordham, Navy, Pennsylvania, Ohio State and Missippi, each beaten only once, are relegated to the second division. The top 10, In order, with their points: Minnesota 1,279; Texas A & M 993; Duke 941; Notre Dame 938; Michigan 882; Duquesne 880; Alabama 41S; Missouri 238; Texas 228; Northwestern 204.

(F) Six little Biscuits are coming to Santa Anita to answer the query: Is Seabiscult as great sire as he was a runner? They are the first get of Charles S. Howard's money-winning champion, which retired to stud after collecting $437,730 in purses. The six little Biscuits they should be dubbed the six small Seas because they all carry the oceanic portion of their daddy's name were foaled on Howard's ranch at Willeta in northern California. They are: Sea Covey, a chocolate colt out of Illeanna. Sea Patrol, brown colt out of Lady Rlaf. Sea Skipper, bay colt out of Lucille K. Sea Mite, chocolate filly out of Dressage. Sea Frolic, bay filly out of Sun Frolic. Sea Belle, bay filly out of Flying Belle. Just when the youngsters will make their debuts will depend upon the progress they make in training and speed trials. Santa Anita opens December 31. The little Biscuits, who'll be two years old New Year's day, will be prepped for two $10,000 stakes, March 4 and 11, if they show any promise. Duke Would Accept Bowl Invite Despite Opposition of Wade By Frank C. GUbreth Durham, N. C Nov. 18. (P) A deaf-mute with lockjaw is a chatter-box compared with Coach Wallace Wade when It comes to discussing a possible bowl invitation for his undefeat ed and untied Duke eleven. I Nevertheless, there's a defin ite feeling at Duke today that the Blue Devils will accept a bid to the Rose bowl, If they aru ! invited. This Is a real development because up until now the talk has been Just the opposite that uuKe woulrtn t consider any sort of a post season bid. Wade himself, only a week ago, was telling sports writers that he was personally opposed to bowl games. Presumably, he still feels that way but he now says that he will leave the de cision up to the Duke adminis trative officials and the players. The officials, like Wade, do not Intend to stick their necks out until the Blue Devils re ceive an invitation. But the players, without much prompt ing, say they're ready and will ing to spend their Christmas va cation in Pasadena. BALANCE OF YEAR Medford's Black Tornado, pre paring for its final game of the season against the unbeaten and untied The Dalles Indians at The Dalles the night of November 28, suffered a severe blow yesterday when X-ray pictures revealed that Captain Curt Hopkins, reg ular left end, suffered three cracked ribs In the Salem game and will play no more football this year. Hopkins sustained a bruised hip In the clash and this injury caused the broken ribs to be overlooked until yesterday. Coach Bill Bowerman said that Hopkins' place in the line iH would probably be filled by Darrell Montelth, 153 -pound Junior.

Bill Clute, Black Tornado tackle of recent years who now tips the scales at a dainty 300 (that's right) pounds, and Leo Sakralda, fullback on the 1935 and 1938 Tiger elevens, are lining up the local boys, and they urge all former Tornado players desiring to play Thursday to at tend the confab tonight. Clute said he had contacted several ex-Medford players and they had expressed more than willingness to get out there once more. Among them. Bill said, were Bobby Ettinger, the great little "breakaway" runner of several years ago; Stan Winter, end and Rodney Stead, former right halfback. Sakraida said he had arranged with Coach Bill Bowerman of the current Medford team to bor row enough uniforms to tog out the alumni team. It was empha sized by both Clute and Sakraida that it was necessary to attend tonight's meeting so that the team could be formed and the uniforms passed out. Bob Zuppke, Illini Coach. Resigns After 29 Seasons Champaign, Til., Nov. 18. (J5) Bob Zuppke, dean of the West ern conference, has resigned after 29 years as Illinois' foot ball coarh and this time he means it. The decision was made in typ ical Zuppke fashion. He might have waited until Illinois ended its season Saturday against Northwestern, or he might have held off until next March, when he had agreed to discuss his future with University Presi dent Arthur C. Willard. But Zup Jumped the gun. He asked Harold Pogue of Decatur, 111., one cf his former gridiron pupils and a former president of the university board of trustees, to announce his resignation to James M. Cleary, present trustees presi dent, to Dr. Wi'.lard and to Douglas R. Mills, acting athletic director. There was no gridiron success this year for the Illini, who lost all major games. They showed signs of improvement, however, and there was a hint of better i things to come. The team that started against Ohio State last Saturday included five sopho I mores and four Juniors, and put up a terrific scrap before los ing. 12-7. "I have told President Wil lard several times that I wanted to retire when I felt the univer sity's athletic affairs were In good hands," he said. "I have obtained that objective." Zuppke's teams in 29 years won 132 games, lost 79 and tied 12. They were Western confer ence champions seven times and finished second twice. NEWPORT TO PLAY T ATTENDED DY 40 An enthusiastic thron? of 40 skaters gathered at the Medford Ice Arena last night to discuss plans for the formation of an amateur ice hockey association and a city league. Sparky Bour que, manager of the arena, has called a workout for tonight be tween 8 and 7, and urges all those Interested to attend. Among those turning out for the meeting were several for mer hockey players, and Bourque expressed the belief that a fine league would result in the near future. Newport, Nov. 18. IIP) Af ter November 22 there'll be less argument about which "B" class high school holds the state B football title. The Newport Cubi will tangle with Arlington Honkers at Newport for the final showdown, according to . Superintendent L. W. Rakes. Newport, undefeated and with a season total of 265 points against 14 for all opponents, has one more game in the schedule to play at Toledo Thanksgiv ing day. With one day of rest the team will play Arlington the 22nd at Newport. While Arlington has been de feated, it has not lost to a "B" school. The game will be the first in Oregon between two football teams of the "B" class for that title. Rakes said. Of Kentucky's finest Bourbons v this is the To) It! AM IIH lHuvil OOPKOOP.
