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.

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.

TO FORM ELEVEN
Ex-football greats and near
greats of Medford high school
will meet in the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce at 8:30 to
night to lay plans for accepting
the challenge of the Grants Pass
alumni for a Thanksgiving Day
gridiron clash at Grants Pass
Thursday morning at 10:30.
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.
